The Planet Gossip side of E! News Online suggests that Anika Noni Rose, star of last year’s Dreamgirls, has landed the coveted lead role in Disney’s The Frog Princess. It is rumored that the actress was chosen from a list that also included fellow Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Tyra Banks. Meanwhile, the site also indicates that the film’s main character, once known as Maddy, may have experienced a name change, while the film itself is supposedly now titled The Princess and the Frog. Thanks to “veu” at the Animated News & Views Forum for the notice of this information.
