“Grease” Is Coming Back — Who Would You Cast?

Grease, the 1971 Broadway musical with an overrated film of the same name, is getting some souped up greased lightning treatment — it’s being remade as a live 3 hour event for the FOX network. The Grease film of course starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. This production will feature a “young ensemble cast” yet to be chosen. More info from The Hollywood Reporter: Fox is taking a page from NBC’s The Sound of Music Live. The network has ordered a three-hour live broadcast of Grease set to air during 2015, Fox announced Monday. The live event will feature a young ensemble cast and be based on the 1971 Broadway musical of the same name, with the book, lyrics and music by the team of Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs “From Broadway to film, and across generations,Grease is one of the most beloved musical stories ever told — and we can’t wait to bring it to our air in a spectacular live event,” said Shana C. Waterman, senior vp event series at Fox. “Its iconic characters and addictive songs make it the perfect fit for Fox, and we’re going to give it the kind of star power and production quality to make every Sandy, Danny, Rizzo and Kenickie out there want to get up and sing along.” Okay, let’s chill out there a little bit. I will agree that the songs are addictive, but not in a good way. When I hear “You’re The One That I Want”, that goddamn song is stuck in my head for hours. Oooh hoo hoo, honey. Goddamnit, it’s already started. What do you think? Is Grease overrated? Will you watch this FOX presentation? BUT LET’S GET TO THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION… …who would you cast as Danny and Sandy?

Chrissy Teigen Wants You To Know Where She And John Legend Do It

Chrissy Teigen is newly wed to John Legend, and she wants you to know about what she believes is their “award winning” sex. So, wanna know where she and John Legend do it? Ugh. From Cosmopolitan via People: We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class. We were under a blanket. We weren’t even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that.  We’re very okay with PDA. When we go to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing. Ugghgghghgg. That’s so awkward to see in public. This whole interview has me feeling bad for the other people on the plane, in “commercial first-class” — not sure why she felt the need to mention it was “commercial first-class”, but okay. Also a fan of doing it on airplanes (but solo) is Macklemore, who admitted that he wanks in the airplane toilets. Have you ever gotten freaky on a plane? Did anyone see you? You probably think they didn’t, but they knew. They knew. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Paul Simon And Wife Arrested For Disorderly Conduct

Well this is strange. Legendary singer/songwriter Paul Simon, was arrested, along with his wife, Edie Brickell, for getting into a serious fight. They were released on Sunday and appeared in court Monday, all smiles. From CNN: Singer-songwriter Paul Simon said Monday that he and wife Edie Brickell “had an argument” before they were arrested Saturday. Brickell, in a statement sent to CNN by her lawyer, said she started it. “I got my feelings hurt and I picked a fight with my husband,” Brickell said.  “The police called it disorderly.  Thank God it’s orderly now” Simon and Brickell were arrested on disorderly conduct charges by police investigating a family dispute at their New Canaan, Connecticut, home Saturday night, according to police. “Investigating officers gathered information and found probable cause to arrest” Simon, 72, and Brickell, 47, a police statement said. The couple was released from custody Sunday morning. They held hands when appearing before a judge in the Norwalk Superior Court Monday. “Edie and I are fine,” Simon said. “We’re going to see our son’s baseball game this afternoon.” Paul Simon is one of the last people I would ever think of as being “disorderly”. He seems so goddamn gentle. Whatever is going on between the two of them, I really hope it’s okay. Her phrasing of the events sounds a little odd to me. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Justin Bieber high fived his friends after egging his neighbor’s house

Well, the fun just continues here, doesn’t it? Remember how Justin Bieber egged his neighbour’s house a few months back, apparently causing $20,000 worth of damage and possibly gaining a felony charge on his growing record? Well, police are adding to the story against him, claiming that he was all amped up and went around high-fiving his friends after tossing the eggs. I’m not sure what that proves, other than the fact that he’s an asshole immature kid, but okay, let’s go with it! From People: A search warrant affidavit, in which he’s called “Suspect Bieber,” alleges the pop star is captured on a security camera heading toward the neighbor’s house last January, then returning to his own driveway rejoicing with his pals. “He was approached by the group of males, some of whom Suspect Bieber is observed ‘high-fiving,’” writes Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Ginni Alvarez in the affidavit. “Suspect Bieber and the other males appeared to be laughing and celebrating.” Apparently he wasn’t actually seen holding eggs, but come on, you know he did that shit. How this is going to make a difference to the court, however, is beyond me. So he high-fived his friends after egging a house? Seems about right, and last I checked, not a criminal act in and of itself. Are they trying to show that he’s more of an asshole than people realize? Seriously, message received on that one.

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie still keep in touch

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie were a match made in WTF-ness from the go, and it’s no surprise that their relationship didn’t last all that long. However, the split must’ve been pretty amicable, because apparently they still keep in touch all the time… according to Billy, anyway. From YourTango: YourTango: Are you in touch with Angelina? Billy Bob Thornton: Oh of course, yeah. She’s amazing, amazing. She’s got so much energy and so much goodness in her, and we check in on each other all the time. She makes sure I’m doing okay. I make sure she’s doing okay. LOL, okay, how high on the bullshit meter is this one? I have nothing against Billy Bob and I’m sure he’s a lovely guy, but I just can’t see this one being true.
