Willow Smith will no longer be appearing in Jay‑Z's Annie remake

  • January 31, 2013

willow-smith-with-green-hairAgeing chanteuse Willow Smith will no longer be starring in Jay‑Z's remake of Annie.

According to IndieWire, no-one really seems to know why the past-it geriatric is no longer working on the pro­duc­tion. But fear not! Apparently your friend and ours Quvenzhané Wallis is 'in talks' to fill the role.

Here's hoping the 'I Am Me' singer will use the spare time to further cultivate her ▽ Arbre Mort ▽ 'persona', providing us with more beautiful re-inter­pret­a­tions of Radiohead songs. Not for­get­ting regular updates to her thought-provoking Tumblr Coccin-Elle.

Or she could get a bloody move on and release another 10/10 pop classic like 'Whip My Hair'. JUST A THOUGHT SMITHO.
