Drama in Dallas.

Although it wouldn’t have been uncommon to see Pamela and Sue Ellen of Dallas bickering with each other on the small screen, it apparently wasn’t motivating enough for Jennifer Garner to want to reenact it on the big screen. A story on www.contactmusic.com claims that the 13 Going on 30 star turned down the role made famous by Victoria Principal in the upcoming movie remake because hubby Ben Affleck’s ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez had already been cast as JR’s wife.

"Jennifer Garner was really keen to be in Dallas, but I think she felt there would be a bit of a strain between them on the set and that could have led to awkward situations," a source said about the casting. "Both are totally professional, but there might have been a certain 'atmosphere' and Jennifer Garner didn't need to go there." Unless, of course, she had used an Alias.
