From reality star to behind bars, Jen Shah has quite the life story to tell … and TMZ has learned she’s hoping Kim Kardashian can tell it in a biopic.
Talks of the on-screen venture emerged when Emma Stone facetiously kick-started a campaign for the ‘RHOSLC’ star’s biopic … after the longtime ‘Real Housewives’ fan was asked at the NYC premiere of “Poor Things” … which Housewife was worthy of the film treatment by the flick’s director Yorgos Lanthimos?
Lanthimos is known for taking on unexpectedly bizarre, eccentric characters — and Jen’s eyebrow-raising trials and tribulations are more than enough for Yorgos to bring her journey to the silver screen, according to Oscar-winner Emma.
Jen quickly caught wind of the A-list backing … with her manager Chris Giovanni telling TMZ she was “freaking out over the phone” with excitement when he called her in prison to tell her Friday AM.
Chris tells us Jen acknowledged Emma’s endorsement for the project as an honor … but when it comes to who she’d actually like to play her … that would be Kim K.
Chris says Jen didn’t go into much detail about why she wants Kim … but it’s no secret she’s a massive fan of the billionaire — remember, before her sentencing for wire fraud and money laundering she said she wanted lawyer-in-training Kim to join her legal team.

Kim Kardashian’s TV Divorce Lawyer Character Based on Laura Wasser
Kim’s involvement may not be too far-fetched … she’s been making serious headway in the acting biz — earning rave reviews for “American Horror Story,” impressing its producer Ryan Murphy so much he’s snagged her for his new series, based on famous celebrity divorce lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser.
Kim’s booked and busy … so who knows if she’ll have time on her hands for a Jen biopic … but Jen says, nonetheless, she can’t wait to tell all the ladies, AKA, her fellow prisoners, about Emma’s fangirling.
While there’s no real talk about a biopic for now, Chris tells us that if and when cameras do roll, Jen’s ready to debrief whichever actress bags the role … she’s been documenting her prison experience and has already written 100-150 pages of notes.
