Keep Britney Spears and Beyonce Knowles Out of "Austin Powers"!

To:  New Line Cinema/New Line Productions; Lisa Balshan, Senior Vice President, National Promotions, for New Line Cinema; Toby Emmerich, President of New Line Productions; Jay Roach, director; Mike Myers, writer

We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that you keep Britney Spears and Beyonce Knowles out of the next "Austin Powers" movie, "Austin Powers In Goldmember". Due to their controversial celebrity status and marginal acting talent, we feel that they will be horrible additions to the "Austin Powers" cast.

Because their fan base is mostly children and teenagers who will not even be allowed to see the movie, and also because the total amount of people who are against Spears and Knowles is much higher than the amount of their fans, we feel that they will be bad for the movie, and drive viewers away from it.

We, the undersigned, state that we will not see "Austin Powers In Goldmember" if Spears and/or Knowles are in it, nor will we buy any merchandise related to the movie, including the soundtrack CD, posters, the video/DVD release, etc.

We ask that you please reconsider your offers to Spears and Knowles, and keep in mind the preferences of "Austin Powers" fans before making any final casting decisions.

NOTE: Please understand that by signing this petition in support of either Spears or Knowles, you are only increasing the number of signatures on this petition, encouraging the protest against them.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
