Elizabeth Banks is hot off of Cocaine Bear, so she thinks she can do anything. Anything like a remake of the 1985’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The original film is about military brat Sarah Jessica Parker who secretly auditions with Helen Hunt, her best friend from Catholic school to be on a dancing show like Dance Fever. She gets paired up with bad boy Lee Montgomery. He has the support of his best friend, Jonathan Silverman and his sister, Shannen Doherty. They are going to do everything in their power to get on the show, but they are going to hit a lot of roadblocks before they get to the finale.
It was the perfect teen movie. And even though it holds up, today’s generation wouldn’t get it. Unless they change the dance show to be on something like So You Think You Can Dance. But that is not the same feel.
If you have never seen it, then you should watch it on Tubi for free. It is just a lot of fun! And don’t we all want to have fun?
Banks did something original. Why can’t she keep doing that instead of making something that has already been done?
Every day this week, ABC has picked up one of their shows for next season. Today’s series is Station 19, the first responder procedural, which was spun off of Grey’s Anatomy. The latter has already been picked up for another season, even without Ellen Pompeo.
The Shonda Rhimes show is going through some changes behind the scenes next season. Krista Vernoff has stepped down as the showrunner, and she will be replaced by Zoanne Clark and Peter Paige. As a huge fan of Queer As Folk, I can’t wait to see what Paige brings to the table.
Before Robbie Benson was the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, he was taught that Comet is a beat of a cleaner. How awwwdorable was the 10-year-old in that 1966 commercial?
Martin Lawrence received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. He was not alone because Tracy Morgan, Tichina Arnold, Lynn Whitfield, and Steve Harvey came out to support their friend.
However, there was one person who was missing. Lawrence’s Bad Boys’ co-star Will Smith. And that is a real slap in the face. Too soon?
Yes, I posted this just for that joke. That, and congrats to the man who was honored with the 2,753rd star on the Walk of Fame.
