[Thursday, August 1st, 2002]
Kelly Osbourne is in negotiations to play the musically inclined best friend to the teen heroine in Walt Disney Pictures' quirky comedic remake of the 1976 kiddie classic "Freaky Friday," reports Variety

New "Freaky Friday" is being adapted by scribe Heather Hach; original was scripted by Mary Rodgers and featured Jodie Foster as a tomboyish teen who constantly quarrels with her mother (Barbara Harris). When mother and daughter reveal desires to escape their drudgery of their current lives, they suddenly and inexplicably exchange bodies.

Lindsay Lohan, who toplined Disney's remake of "The Parent Trap," will play the teen, while Annette Bening has been cast as her widowed mother. Osbourne is also expected to contribute at least one song to the pic's soundtrack.

Project was already remade for TV in 1995, from a script by Stu Krieger.
