Affleck-Garner ex-nanny wants to turn roll in hay into role on TV

Also in Tattle: Lots of announcements from Disney’s D23, Tracy Morgan returns to “SNL,” Scooby-Doo returns to theaters

TATTLE HAS NO idea what Ben Affleck did or didn't do with his family's former nanny, Christine Ouzounian, but we do know that all that early talk about Christine being a family girl who loved being a nanny and would never be a homewrecker or seek out celebrity was a lot of nonsense.

Ouzounian is a fame whore.

We're not so old-fashioned as to say that when a woman allegedly has an affair with a married man (or vice-versa), she must wear a scarlet letter, but how about laying low for a few . . . seconds? When did it become acceptable behavior to take one's homewrecking infamy and parade it all around town?

Is this what happens when one's moral compass is set by pseudo-celebs famous only for being famous and void of any talents but bulbous body parts and sex appeal?

According to the New York Post's Page Six, Ouzounian now wants an agent and is hoping to parlay her 15 minutes into a reality-TV career on shows like "The Bachelorette" or "Dancing with the Stars."

She's currently tooling around L.A. in a Lexus convertible, hitting all the paparazzi hot spots in full hair and makeup.

The Post source said that Ouzounian could try to profit off a tell-all piece on Affleck, but details could be limited by the nondisclosure agreement she allegedly signed.

Tattle at D23

Tattle comics/sci-fi/martial arts correspondent Jerome Maida attended Disney's D23 this past weekend in Anaheim, Calif., and reported back on some of the announcement highlights:

* One of the highlights of Saturday was introducing Dwayne "Franchise Viagra" Johnson as the only confirmed cast member of the animated film "Moana."

He'll play the demigod Maui, who uses his great hook to pull down the sun and pull up great islands from the bottom of the ocean.

Moana, based on a South Pacific legend, will be Disney's first Polynesian princess. The film is scheduled to be released Nov. 23, 2016.

* Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o ("12 Years a Slave") came on stage three times over two days to talk about her prominent roles in a live-action adaptation of the animated classic, "The Jungle Book"; her starring role in the original, true-life story of a young girl from Uganda who trains to become a world chess champion in "Queen of Katwe" (she plays the girl's mother) and what is looking like an increasingly important role in a little film called "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Lupita said of "Katwe": "It was so great to go back home. It's a story about a dream even in the most discouraging of situations . . . something interested [this girl] and she went for it . . . and displayed ravenous passion. It is very vibrant, colorful, full of life and hope, and movie magic as well."

* "Zootopia" is an animated film that tells the story of a city in which anthropomorphic animals live and work together. Shakira and Ginnifer Goodwin ("Once Upon A Time") will be two of the voices. "Zootopia" hits March 4, 2016.

* Disney says "Gigantic," scheduled for 2018, will be the definitive version of "Jack and the Beanstalk." The movie drew polite applause from the audience, but excitement went way up when Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, the duo responsible for the score for "Frozen," came on stage and sang a song from the film that will likely drive parents out of their minds all over again.

* Animation guru John Lasseter showed a clip of the long-awaited "Finding Nemo" sequel, "Finding Dory," and also had fun showing a clip of the many times star Ellen DeGeneres begged for a sequel on her daytime TV show. The crowd went nuts when DeGeneres appeared in person to tell them herself. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" star Kaitlin Olson also appeared onstage as part of the confirmed voice cast, as did "Modern Family" stars Ed O'Neill and Ty Burrell.

More tomorrow.

His appearance also promises to be a coming-out party for the former "SNL" cast member and star of "30 Rock," who has been recuperating from injuries he suffered in a June 2014 crash that also killed a fellow comedian when their limousine was hit by a Walmart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike.

NBC yesterday also announced that on Oct. 3, Miley Cyrus will return as host for a third time to kick off the 41st "SNL" season.
