Michelle Williams: Marilyn Monroe Approves Of 'My Week With Marilyn,' Psychic Said

While her likeness to the classic siren of the silver screen has been debated by protective fans around the world, Michelle Williams can rest easy and ignore any criticism of the job she did portraying Marilyn Monroe. After all, she has approval from the most important critic there is: Monroe herself.

And yes, we do know that she died nearly 50 years ago.

"While we were filming, something came out in the 'National Enquirer' that a psychic had spoken to her and that she approved of what we were doing and she thought I was doing a really good job," recently told E! Online. "So maybe she likes it!"

Whether Monroe really did speak from the great beyond or not, credit Williams for giving her all to the role, in both her waking and dormant moments.

"I'd go to bed every night with a stack of books next to me," she told Vogue in a recent cover story. "And I'd fall asleep to movies of her. It was like when you were a kid and you'd put a book under your pillow hoping you'd get it by osmosis."

The hard work has paid off; the film is garnering positive reviews, including glowing notes about Williams' take on the tragic star.

Is Weinstein or Williams so desperate that a planted "psychic" story is the best they can come up with?

Why every fake blonde actress with pleasant but a way too simple face thinks she is the new Monroe? At first it was Johansson, now that Williams.

Are your sure it's Angelina Jolie? The only other fictional work to be release in the near future I know of, will star Naomi Watts.

I hope she got the persona down, because physically she doesn't look anything like Marilyn.

Did any of you people even read the story? Williams had nothing to do with the psychic, did not seek her out, ask her anything, or pay her. It was all the enquirer.

The enquirer doesn't need any prompting to wright a story about MM, or psychics, it's what they do.

Man they must be really be worried about the MM movie tanking at the box office. Unnamed Psychic in the National Enquirer? That translates to "Paying for Publicity". This movie will go one of two ways...it will be a "Critical Hit" and win 7 Academy Awards (again Pay for Publicity). Or it will bomb and be on the Stars Network in 3 months. The fact that they are paying NE to run such a lame a$$ story just shows how paranoid the producers really are. My opinion is it will be an Atomic Bomb.

She made have 'heard a voice' but it wasn't from M.M. nor was it from heaven. Jesus made it clear in the gospels that the dead cannot communicate with the living. The reason why Moses laws forbade seances is because necromancy involves communication with devils...devils that impersonate the dead. No one can communicate with dead relatives. That can only happen if we join them in heaven. So says God's Word.

Thank goodness there are guardians of God's Word who protect us from all unpermitted thoughts. Otherwise, many souls would have been lead astray by this blasphemous article.
