As reported by The Boot, Taylor Swift is reportedly being considered to portray music legend Joni Mitchell in "Girls Like Us." The big-screen adaptation of the book by Shelia Weller examines the life of the "Both Sides Now" writer, along with fellow singer-songwriters Carole King and Carly Simon.

Variety reports that although Taylor does not have an official offer on the table, she has been linked to the role of the Canadian-born performer for several months as other actresses have auditioned to play the other two leads in the film. "House" executive producer Katie Jacobs, who optioned the book several years ago, is directing from a script by John Sayles. While not officially "greenlit" yet, the film is tentatively scheduled to start production later this year when the three leads would be available for filming.

As reported by The Boot, Taylor Swift will add a bit of country flavor to pop superstar Justin Bieber's upcoming album. Rolling Stone reports that Justin revealed in a recent radio interview that he and Taylor have written a song together for the teen heartthrob's upcoming third album, Believe.

Fans of the MTV series, "Punk'd," will recall that the series' season premiere had Justin luring Taylor to a beach-side home in Southern California for a fake songwriting session before shocking the 22-year-old with an elaborate prank that involved Japanese fireworks and a fake wedding. While that invitation may have been a ruse (making for some explosive TV and reducing Taylor to tears!), the two have obviously already worked together penning tunes. Branching out into other areas is something the pair have in common.
