Pretty In Pink is one of the most iconic coming of age movies for teenagers, but the movie is far from its teenage years. Today, it turned 30 years old. Feel old? Well you can feel like a teenager going to their prom all over again when you download the Digital HD version of it.
Not only do you get a beautiful copy of the movie, you get several bonus features that answers questions fans wanted to know and some they didn’t even know they wanted to know. Did you know that Paramount wanted Jennifer Beals to play Andie? Robert Downey Jr auditioned for Duckie and Charlie Sheen was up for Blane? Even Annie Potts’ role almost went to someone else, but that actress had not perfected her American accent by then. Another fun fact, John Hughes wrote Sixteen Candles looking at Molly Ringwald’s headshot even though he had never met her at that point. He also wrote Pretty In Pink for her.
They also talk about the iconic fashion from the movie. Who went to the prom and who didn’t? That ending. What really happened? Who wore a wig? The record store dance scene was choreographed by Kenny Ortega who did High School Musical and Hairspray.
All of this is told by the cast and crew in 1985 and twenty years later. Craziest part, none of the actors aged. Just like he movie, everything about it is ageless.
Lady Gaga took her fiance’ Taylor Kinney to the Oscars and they posed for a photo in the limo on the way there. At least that is when I assuming they took this picture, because it looks an ad for an expensive watch or gin that you would see in GQ or Vanity Fair. Doesn’t it?
Remember that photo of Kirk Cameron blowing out the candle on his birthday cake all by himself in a conference room, and you though that is saddest thing ever? Well yesterday was Josh Groban‘s birthday and he had almost the same experience. The singer is on the road and he celebrated his special day with a healthy choice for his dinner. I mean, he got a Healthy Choice frozen dinner from Walmart. Sad, right? It’s his birthday, and he didn’t even splurge on a fattening frozen meal from Stouffer’s or Boston Market. Which is so much more yummier than those Cafe Steamers.
So was his B-day as sad as this photo? No, his fans made it special just like her makes them feel special. Something Kirk Cameron didn’t get to say on that his day.
