That's quite the commitment on her behalf considering that - according to certain sources - she's not officially nailed the role as Victoria Giotti as yet. You know, despite her turning up to the official press conference without a bra and inviting Victoria to let her extensions meld with her own in a well known Italian American hair bolstering ceremony. Not to stereotype, but it's all about the hair... that's why John Travolta's been asked to play Victoria's crimelord dad, John.

AFP.com reports: "'This is probably the most interesting untold story in this country. What a character to approach!" Travolta told a press conference in New York, where the film, also starring Joe Pesci and possibly (possibly) Lindsay Lohan, will be shot later this year. Travolta, wearing a green tie and his (HAH!) hair close-cropped, called Gotti, who died in prison in 2002, an old school mafioso who lived by 'a moral code.' In his long and bloody career as head of one of the historic five New York Italian mafia families, Gotti won public sympathy for his stylish appearance and wit. He was known as the 'Dapper Don' and also the 'Teflon Don' for his longtime ability to beat federal prosecutors in court. 'I like the glamor he had,' Travolta said. 'He charmed the press, he charmed his family...'  To research the part, Travolta plans to study as much original video footage as possible and to 'understand how a syndicate like this works.' Pointing into the (Sheraton) hotel room where journalists crammed in with dozens of Gotti family members and associates, Travolta said 'there's a plethora of knowledge here that I tap.' John 'Junior,' (that's him in the blue shirt there. I know, he does look more like a salesman) who himself has beaten four federal prosecutions on racketeering, murder and mob charges, said he wanted his father to be portrayed fairly... At a subsequent photo shoot in which baying paparazzi pushed and shoved for a better angle, blonde-haired Lohan posed next to Gotti's daughter Victoria, fueling speculation that the in-and-out-of-trouble starlet may see playing the mob heiress as a way to resurrect her career. Producer Marc Fiore praised Lohan's acting skills and confirmed she was in the mix. 'I'm in talks to have Lindsay in the movie. Nothing has been finalized, but we are in talks,' he said."

Yeah, I doubt there's much talking left to do, Marc, unless you want to wake up with a mutant blonde wig in yer bed.
