Not sure what's more surprising, that Gwyneth Paltrow is in negotiations to bring the story of the Go-Go's to the stage, or that The Hollywood Reporter thinks that Paula Jean Brown is a member of the group. Fans might remember that Brown was briefly in the group when Jane Wiedlin left to seek solo stardom, just before Belinda Carlisle and Charlotte Caffey decided to call it a day. (Footage of Paula Jean's one and only performance, at the Rock in Rio Festival, is online HERE Brown cowrote "Mad About You," a song intended for the Go-Go's fourth album, but was instead used as the first single from "Belinda.") Interestingly, Donovan Leitch -- Susanna Hoffs' gorgeous former boytoy and the son of the "Mellow Yellow" singer -- is listed as a perspective co-producer for the musical, along with Rick Ferrari. (Hoffs famously wrote THIS unkind song about the younger Donovan.)
Paula Jean Brown was presented as a Christmas present to Go-Go's fans in 1984, but the gift did not keep giving.
