Could you imagine Footloose without Kevin Bacon? Well according the actor, who is six degrees from every actor in Hollywood, that was almost the case. He told Details magazine, “Craig Zadan, one of the producers on both films (referring to the sh!tty remake that’s coming out in the fall), actually found my screen test in a vault and sent it to me. What had been going on back then was the producers and the director wanted me, but the head of the studio famously said, ‘He’s just not fuckable.’ So they went and did their own screen test. Watching it, I got a chance to see this kid with this hunger and ambition and energy. There were parts of myself that I didn’t even recognize. You could just see that I was going to fuckin’ go in there and kill it.” Thankfully he nailed the screen test because he is the only actor that I could ever see playing Ren McCormack.
BTW according to Rob Lowe’s must read autobiography Stories I Only Tell My Friends, he auditioned for the role, but he blew his knew and the audition when he attempted that infamous slide that Bacon perfected!
Let the Good Times Roll because it is time once again to Drive with The Cars. The band has recorded their first album in 24 years and Move Like This will be out in May. After watching Blue Tip, the first music video from the album I can’t wait to buy the CD because it was Just What I Needed. They sound just like they did in the ’80s, but better. Too bad we can ‘t see what they look like, but I guess that is the Magic of that video…
Flavor Flav is pitching a reality show where he goes back to high school to get his diploma. The 51 year old dropped out of high school in 10th grade and wants to go back to prove that anyone can get it at any age. He told WQAD he would even pay kids to stay in school with him.
Now the premise sounds like a great idea, but I have to wonder since he is the man who gave us Flavor of Love, if it’s safe for him to be around all those high school girls? We saw how he reacted to women that were barely older than that, and we all know that went down? He couldn’t even remember their names, so he gave them nicknames…how is he going to learn about chemistry and biology then? At least we know he will be good in sex-ed, that is unless they are teaching abstinence-only??? Could you imagine him with a purity ring?
So do you think it is time for him to go back to school or is his time up?

Ever since we got know Tia and Tamera Mowry, it has been hard to tell the Sister, Sister apart. But now that Tia is pregnant and her twin is engaged, it is easy to tell which one is which. Although in a few months after one is a mom and the other one is a wife, it will go back to the guessing game of which one is which?
Tears for Fears Curt Smith was trying to explain the Mad World of celebrity crushes to his daughter Diva and her answer was tough for him to get out of and awwwdorable for us to read.
Here is the conversation he Tweeted he had with his older daughter:
Off to bed after discussing being “famous” with eldest regarding @justinbieber movie. She loves him and I say “but you don’t know him”…
she says, “but I love you and your famous” – I have no answer for that apart from a smile. #Ilovemykids
How precious is that answer to her being Head over Heels for Justin Bieber! I guess sometimes it is hard being a celebrity parent.
