Idolator

Slash's dinosaur-loving, butter-eating, coke-snorting personal history has barely been on bookstore shelves a month, and already he says he's being courted by Hollywood types out to turn his autobiographical misdeeds into a major motion picture. Slash is down, too, but he's got some ground rules.

"The one thing I wouldn't have them do or allow them to do would be to actually do the book with the characters in it, the way that they are in real life as far as who they are," he said. "You know, if you wanted to take the story and make up some people (laughs) and change the names and all that kind of stuff, and make everybody fictional, it could be interesting. But if you were gonna try and go, 'Okay, this is Slash and this is Axl (Rose) and this is Slash's mom, and this character's gonna play Scott (Weiland),' no, I wouldn't allow it."

Someone get Todd Haynes on the phone! Might I suggest the five characters who play "Slash" be a koala bear, a grizzled janitor at the Empire State Building circa 1952, the child heir to the Mr. Softee ice cream fortune, a sentient water fern, night manager at a Foot Locker, and Charles Nelson Reilly. No wait, he's dead. Harvey Fierstein, then.
