Kevin Bacon Explains Why He Turned Down Role in Footloose Remake
10 June 2013 4:20 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
During the early stages of the "Footloose" remake, the studio reached out to Kevin Bacon to see if he would be interested in appearing in the new movie since he was the star of the original film. Bacon never accepted the offer and has now revealed why. "It was a lousy part. I was [McCormack's] father, which I don't mind, but he was just a miserable prick," said the actor. "There was no point to me being in the movie. They built a scene that was really only there for me to be in the movie, and once I said no, they took the scene out." Bacon admits that he's seen the remake. "I liked the movie," he said. The remake went on to gross $62 million worldwide on a budget of $24 million. The original grossed $80 million just domestically on a budget of $8.2 million. »

30 May 2013 1:08 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
One thing that marked the movies of the 1980′s more than anything else was the amazing soundtracks. The 80′s saw an explosion in licensed music in movies, and led to many bands finding success in the Us, where previously they’d been struggling. In honour of the great movie soundtracks of the decade, here’s my rundown of the ten best Under Rated Movie Songs of the 80′s:
10. Joe Esposito – You’re the Best Around from The Karate Kid:
9. Kenny Loggins – I’m Free (Heaven Helps The Man) from Footloose:
8. Tim Feehan – Where’s the Fire from The Wraith:
7. Stephanie Mills – Bit by Bit from Fletch:
6. Alisha – Do You Dream About Me from Mannequin:
5. John Farnham – Break the Ice from Rad:
4. Chas Jankel – Number One from Real Genius:

'Britain's Got Talent': Who was the best, worst of week four? - vote
4 May 2013 3:20 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Sword swallowing, Labrinth's older brother and a dance about friendship were all part of the fun on Britain's Got Talent this week.
The show certainly had a variety of acts, but who was your favourite? Make your voice heard by telling us your most and least liked, and vote below.
The Best
Was their act enough to get them to the live semi-finals, or is it a one-hit glamorous surprise?
Martin and Marielle
Their performance and amazing lifts left us gawping in wonder, but could another dance act win the show?
Thomas Bounce
The 16-year-old certainly had Ant and Dec onside, but does his juggling act have enough balls (see what we did there?) to reach the final?
Alex Keirl
He may not have totally convinced Simon Cowell, who complained about his high pitch, but people who sing songs from Les Misérables tend to do quite well on the show. »
'The Voice' UK: Tourette's singer calls music his medication - video
19 April 2013 10:53 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
The Voice UK has released an online preview clip from this Saturday's episode.
The video features the audition of singer and guitarist Nick Tatham from Dorset, who has Tourette's syndrome.
Prior to going on stage, the 29-year-old hopeful admits that singing provides relief from his symptoms.
"Music is definitely my medication," he explains. "When I'm playing, I don't really think about it. I get so involved into the song and I think that's when the Tourette's disappears."
Tatham can be seen performing the Kenny Loggins classic 'Footloose' as the judges nod along and toy with pressing their buttons.
Find out whether Tatham progresses to the next round of the competition tomorrow (April 20), when The Voice UK continues at 8.20pm on BBC One. »

Controversial Oscar Producers Will Be Back Again

Los Angeles -- Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will produce the Oscars again.
The film academy announced Tuesday that it has invited Zadan and Meron to return for the 2014 Academy Awards telecast, and the two producers said they're honored to come back.
Their first Oscar show featured "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane as host. It drew Oscar's largest audience since 2010, including more coveted younger viewers.
Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences President Hawk Koch said Zadan and Meron have "the overwhelming support of the Academy's Governors" to produce the Oscars a second time.
"To establish continuity with this year's enormously successful show, we felt it was important to give these consummate professionals the green light now to begin creating another great evening," Koch said.
The duo's production credits also include "Chicago," "Footloose," "Hairspray," "The Bucket List" and TV's "Smash."
There's no word on whether MacFarlane will also return as host. »

Bradley Cooper's Perm Is The Week's Most Important News
5 April 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
By Amelia Mularz
As movie fans, we've gotten used to seeing stars step out in varying states of transformation for roles. Recently we've seen Christian Bale with a comb-over and Reese Witherspoon as a brunette. But nothing could've prepared us for Bradley Cooper's new look, which he debuted this week.
A perm.
Yes, a real honest-to-goodness perm. The highly processed, gel-smothered, crunchy-to-the-touch hairstyle that ranked supreme in the 1980s is back and living on the head of the Sexiest Man Alive. Spotted on the set of a new David O. Russell film, Bradley Cooper borrowed a page from adolescent girls of yesteryear and went full-fledged fake curly.
But the part that's truly shocking about the resurgence of the perm is that...well, it actually looks kinda good. Even in the heyday of big hair, experts would agree that a permanent (as it's scientifically known) only looked attractive on approximately »

The City of Angels will be getting itself one hell of a devil appearing on stage as Carrie: The Musical is prepping to make its Los Angeles premiere this fall. From its infamous roots in the pantheon of terror, you've never seen a musical quite like this..,
Look for it September of 2013. Click here for details.
Twenty-five years after its spellbinding premiere shocked critics and audiences from London to New York, Carrie, the most legendary Broadway musical of all time, comes to Los Angeles for the very first time.
Based on the classic horror novel by Stephen King, and featuring a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose), Carrie spins a classic tale of bloodsport and revenge.

Inside the Dolby Theatre, the array of dresses, tuxes, champagne flutes, Hollywood chatter, and discussion of which commercial break is best for making a run to the bar sometimes overshadow watching the show itself. Sunday night was no exception, as the audience from our vantage point in the first mezzanine reacted positively to host Seth MacFarlane and screamed loudly for winners like Life of Pi and Argo. But what happens when the show takes a break? Who’s hanging out with whom in the lobby? Here are a few of our favorite insider scenes from Sunday night’s Oscars.
The commercial breaks seem so fast. »

Big Change Coming To Sunday's Oscars
21 February 2013 5:44 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Kristen Chenoweth and Seth MacFarlane -- two stars known, respectively, for the stage and small screen -- will close out the Oscars on Sunday night with a final musical performance after the Best Picture award is announced.
"Seth and Kristin will perform a special number and we think it will be a 'can't miss' moment," said Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a statement.
The 85th annual Academy Awards are loaded with Broadway flourishes and musical performances -- a twist, perhaps, since the night ostensibly celebrates the best movies of the last year. In addition to the closing number, the Oscars will feature performances from Adele, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, the cast of "Les Miserables" and past Oscar winners Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Of course, this shouldn't be too surprising: Zadan and Meron were producers on the 2002 Best Picture winner "Chicago" (which is celebrating 10 years as an »

Exclusive: Kenny Loggins Talks Top Gun 3D and the Lasting Power of Danger Zone
20 February 2013 3:26 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Late director Tony Scott reinvented the action movie with his 1986 classic Top Gun, which remained at the top of the box office charts for an unprecedented four months. This romantic thriller ushered in an era of MTV-style filmmaking, with its quick-cuts, non-stop action, and its chart-topping soundtrack loaded with number one hits. Its obvious that Top Gun wouldn't have been half as cool without singles such as 'Danger Zone', 'Take My Breath Away', 'Heaven in Your Eyes', and 'Playing with the Boys' helping to push forth the narrative. In fact, Tom Cruise's career defining hit is as much remembered for these songs as it is anything else.
Fully restored and converted, Top Gun 3D hit IMAX theaters for a one-week limited run last weekend, and now, the Blu-ray has come home to roost. To celebrate this newly immersive release of the ageless classic, we caught up with renowned 80s songsmith Kenny Loggins, »

Top 11 Sinister Appearances by Hollywood Stars in Horror
8 February 2013 4:29 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
With Ethan Hawke most recently delivering a laudable performance in the terrifying box office hit Sinister, due to hit UK DVD and Blu-ray on 11 February through Momentum Pictures, we decided to take a look back at some other Hollywood notables who made their mark on the genre with style. Aaaaand Action!
Danny Glover – Saw (2004)
Perhaps best known as Roger Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon films, Danny Glover also has a long history of roles in smaller independent films. So it was perhaps not surprising when he turned up as obsessive Detective Tapp in low-budget horror Saw. Glover shot his scenes in two days, and the film went on to spawn one of the biggest horror franchises of all time.
