Flame On!

MTV personality, popular men's magazine cover girl and Entertainment Tonight host/correspondent Vanessa Minnillo has reportedly signed to star in 20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Minnillo Has Landed Her First Film.

Variety is reporting that Minnillo will play the love interest of Chris Evans' character, the Human Torch. The role would mark the first "real" acting gig for Minnillo who up until now, has only appeared in bit parts on a few TV shows

Two Snaps Up--Evans Will Be Getting Hot For Minnillo In FF 2

IGN-Filmforce says that The Torch may indeed be busy with two ladies in the new movie

It's unclear whether or not the role filled by Minnillo is the same one that model-turned-actress Beau Garrett (Turistas) was linked to earlier this month. Garrett had been set to play Frankie Raye, a scientist (fans will know that she later becomes Nova) and love interest of Chris Evans' character. Maybe the Human Torch has more than one love interest? Go ahead, player! Otherwise, one of these actresses has got to go.

No matter which beauty plays a role in the film...The cast and crew are very lucky to have either lady (or both) on set. Acting skills? That's another matter all its own. Filming on Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer is underway in Vancouver Canada. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on June 15, 2007.
