Imagine The Breakfast Club with John and Joan Cusack?

Can you imagine The Breakfast Club with John Cusack playing Judd Nelson’s role and his sister Joan playing Ally Sheedy’s? Well according to what Molly Ringwald told Entertainment Weekly that is what John Hughes wanted, but due to Universal wanting Sixteen Candles shot first they had a conflict and had to drop out of the film. I love the Cusacks, but I would’ve hated them in those roles. John isn’t as bad a$$ as Judd and Ally was perfect as the weirdo that I am not sure Joan would’ve brought to the role.
But it doesn’t stop there because that was not the only movie where the cast might’ve been different than what we saw in the movie. Flashdance was a big box office success and Paramount wanted Jennifer Beals to play Andie in Pretty in Pink, but John Hughes and director Howard Deutch fought to get her the role back. That isn’t the only role in that movie that was almost played by someone else. Michael J Fox was the original Duckie, but dropped out to replace Eric Stoltz in Back to the Future. Then they went with Robert Downey Jr, who the fake red head told EW, ”He was just so funny and charming and charismatic, and we had this sort of sexual charisma together.” And then she added that when they went geekier with Jon Cryer, there was no sexual interest there. Ouch. When it comes to Fox in the role, I think that would’ve been a mistake but Downey would’ve been perfect. No offense to Cryer, who was brilliant in the movie but RDJ would’ve been brilliant in the role.
And there is one more casting that would’ve changed Hughes movies forever and that would’ve been the role of hottie Jake Ryan in Sixteen Candles. She said the role was between Michael Shoeffling and Viggo Mortensen and as we know in movie history who the role went for. She said he lost out on the role because he kissed her during the final audition and Shoeffling didn’t. Hughes was protective of his female star and went with the actor who kept his lips to himself. I am grateful for that kiss because sorry to say to Viggo all girls who see that movie want a man just like Shoeffling and I don’t he would’ve garnered the same response. Although she added that LOTR star, “‘He made me weak in the knees. Absolutely.” I am not saying he isn’t gorgeous makes us weak in our knees, but not in the same way Shoeffling did.
So now that you know who might’ve been in the coming of age movies, which actors do you think worked or would’ve worked better?

Rick Springfield was busted on suspicion of driving while intoxicated yesterday according to TMZ. The 61 year old singer/actor was reportedly pulled over for traffic violation when the officer thought they smelled alcohol so they gave him sobriety tests which he failed. The General Hospital star was taken to jail and later released on $5,000 bail.
You can see him tonight on CBS’s Hawaii 5-0, but I doubt he will be watching after last night.

Remember Sanjaya Malakar?

I think the last time I saw Sanjaya Malakar was when he was on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here and it seems we got him out our lives. Well that was until last night where the American Idol 6 contestant was seen at The 26th Annual Lucille Lortel Awards.
I think the 26 year old looks so much better with his shorter hair and not that infamous fauxhawk he wore on Idol. Although the new look doesn’t make him stand out like he used. What do you think?

Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson is an actress?

May 2nd, 2011 under Modern Family. [ Comments: none ]

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, an obvious male actor, has been confused to be an actress not once, not twice, but three times. While two of the mistakes might have been because the name Jesse is unisex, but the last one there is no excuse for because he is obviously a male in that interview with C-SPAN. I mean the beard is a dead giveaway, don’t you think?
So how did the Modern Family actor react the three typos? Here is what he Tweeted about the last one, “An amazing day in DC at the #WHCD….but this is the third time this mistake has happened on TV. #startingtoworry”. But then after he posted the first two pictures along with the third one he said, “Don’t feel bad for this ‘actress’. I think it’s funny. But if it happens a 4th time I am going to find a good OBGYN & join Curves Gym.” At least he has a good sense of humor about it because I don’t I am not sure how I would handle being confused for the other sex.
BTW Jesse I will never confuse you for an actress because you are all Class to me!
