Drew plays a Chihuahua, and Salma's involved

Get your Chihuahua jokes ready, because AfterEllen.com Hottie No. 42, Drew Barrymore, has been cast as voice of Chloe, a Beverly Hills Chihuahua, in Disney's upcoming live-action animal feature South of the Border. The film is directed by Raja Gosnell, who has previous experience with Drew and dogs (Never Been Kissed, Scooby Doo).

In South of the Border, Chloe, who is used to being carted around in a purse, gets lost on her family's Mexican vacation. According to the Hollywood Reporter, she then "must rely on her friends to help her get back home."

Those friends include Salma Hayek (Hottie No. 9), who plays Chloe's spiritual guide and helps her "find her true heritage."

George Lopez plays a "macho romantic Chihuahua" named Papi (yes, Papi) who falls in love with Chloe. And Piper Perabo (Hottie No. 13) is Chloe's human owner.

Now, Chihuahuas are often known for their pampered, spoiled behavior (at least stereotypically). And they often yip a lot. But given that Drew is playing this one, I'm guessing that little Chihuahua Chloe is going to have a spiritual transformation (led by Salma, of course) and become a sweet, loving pooch who comes to see the value of true love and tradition.

Yeah, it's a slow news day today.

    I got a better idea...

    Piper plays Papi's sister Lupe, who Chloe, while skirting around all of Papi's overplayed "yo wasap,mamita, i know dis playce where we can get our salsa on, and later I could show u howta play poker. it'd be tight" shenanigans, ultimately falls in love with!

    Just imagine - the first animated chihuahua lesbian flick. Much better than psycho ax-murderer lesbians, imho.

    Come on, Disney, don't be so "blah".

    Sounds Fun

    It sounds like it will be a lot of fun and three of our hotties!!!!  What does that say about US?  Do we know how to pick em or what?  LOL...

    And Yeah... it's slow today, but I guess we had to come down off that 100 Hotties High now didn't we? :).

    It's all good with me though... the slowness is welcomed.

    live-action animal feature?

     oh lord.  c'mon disney.  the 60's are over.

    :]

    but at least we'll actually get to see Piper on the big screen.

    she is pretty and pretty awesome.  one of the proudest moments of my life was when i was working at disneyland and i accidentally bumped into her backstage. i said "oops sorry," and she said "it's okay."  i touched her and she talked to me.

    i don't normally say this, but:

    squee!

    I'm looking forward to

    I'm looking forward to hearing the hotties in their roles, but I'm even more excited about George Lopez playin' Papi. I'm gonna miss his show.

    Cat lovers or dog lovers?

    Losing lesbian street cred every second of the day @ attictales.com

    I must confess though I'm not a huge dog lover, I would go see Drew in just about anything.  Just out of curiosity...are you ladies more cat lovers or dog lovers? I have a theory that there are 2 types of lesbians: the ones who love dogs and the ones who love cats...this affects what they are looking for in a girlfriend.

    what if you go both ways?

    what does it mean if....

    you have always been a dog person, but then you met someone who only had cats, and now you love cats just as much? (even if the person who had the cats is long gone)

    or am i just being difficult? :-)

    anyway, so what do dog lovers look for as opposed to cat lovers?

    Cus Chihuahuas just ain´t ugly enough...

    In spite of the common use of "Chihuahuas" as iconic Mexican dogs, the true Mexican canine is actually the MUCH uglier Xoloescuincle(sholoesque-eenclay). This dog is completely hairless except for the tip of the tail and a tuft of hair on the top of the head, reminiscent of the glorious days of Punk. This atrocious looking beast is actually quite fashionable amongst the intellectual and artistic crowd, and can be found strutting it´s highly irritable and scratchy skin through out parks situated in hip neighborhoods in most cosmopolitan cities worldwide attached to poser owners who are satisfied with having a dog they will never feel the desire to pet.

    This bt of info may seem random, but I would totally love to see Disney and hot jarocha turned big time producer salma pulling off a movie bout a xoloescuincle voiced by drew...that would be SO bizarre. and funny, and actually even a little sexy.

    One question: will the Salma spiritual guidance/chihuahua born-again mexican involve any use of peyote?
