Andy Dick Plotting 'Daphne Aguilera' Movie
May 1, 2002 - Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Oh, no. Andy Dick plans to make a movie out of his Daphne Aguilera character -- that campy drag Christina Aguilera takeoff from "The Andy Dick Show" on MTV. To hear the preternaturally naughty comic tell it, the project's "a done deal," and far enough along for production to start as early as this summer, with, he hopes, Christina herself aboard for a cameo.
"I would love to have her in there, and I would definitely make it fun for her," Andy promises, noting that Christina has already made her fondness for Daphne clear. "It will probably be done documentary style, including Daphne's past, present and future -- everything we know about her from the show." But can such a character sustain an entire movie?
Viewers of "The Andy Dick Show" will see Daphne "reunited with her long-lost adopted son" when the cable offering launches its third season April 6. "He's 15 years old, and he's black. He's very black, now that I think about it. And that's because Dennis Rodman is the father."
Dick again will host an eclectic group of guest stars -- including Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Kevin Richardson of The Backstreet Boys -- this coming season. And again, most of the sketches in which they'll be involved cannot be described fully in a family newspaper.
