Gwen Stefani nearly had Jolie's role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Gwen Stefani could have saved Jennifer Aniston's marriage - because she was lined up for Angelina Jolie's role in 'Mr and Mrs Smith'.
The sexy singer has revealed she had 40 auditions for the action blockbuster - where Angelina met Aniston's now-estranged husband, Brad Pitt - and came close to winning the role.
She said: "I tried out for 'Mr and Mrs Smith'. I did, like, 40 try-outs for that, I met with the director and everything, and I really wanted to do it." But Gwen was left devastated when she lost out to screen beauty Jolie. She admitted: "I was so upset about it, but it won't stop me. Movies are a challenge for me, and I do like a challenge."
The blonde beauty, who had a cameo role in 'The Aviator', is currently looking at a Hollywood script written especially for her.
She revealed to Britain's Independent Magazine: "I can't say much about it, but when the writers came to me with the idea, I was like, 'Oh my God, get me a tissue because I'm salivating!'
"I've got so many things going on right now, and it all seems to be coming my way at once."

Gwen Stefani as 'Mrs. Smith'? Sorry, I just don't see her in the role. Jolie was a much better choice. I just finished watching 'The Aviator'. DeCaprio should have won Best Actor, not Jamie Foxx. Gwen had a small role, and though her singing voice is grat, her speaking voice is not.
Jolie...an Oscar winner. Gwen, um, no.
A no-brainer.
