the. best. news.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about Taylor Swift being offered the role of Eponine in the Les Misérables movie. Tonight, Les Mis fans breathed a collective sigh of relief—Swift will not be playing Eponine. (OK, so I didn't sigh so much as clap and cheer ...) Instead, the role has gone to Samantha Barks, who played Eponine in the 25th Anniversary Concert in 2010. She will be fabulous!
