Chace Crawford Confirmed to Lead Footloose Remake

After Zac Efron's backing out drama and numerous speculations, the Footloose remake is now spelling out the name of Chace Crawford to reprise the lead role of Ren (previously played by Kevin Bacon). This news was confirmed directly by the producer Paramount Pictures to Perezhilton.com.

Now that we know who the leading man is, the leading lady will surely be another thing we would want to know. Four young female stars are said to be on the list that is led by Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Byrnes and Julianne Hough. Tween fans might be leaning towards the Miley Cyrus option, but I think Hayden Panettiere should be given consideration too. This Footloose remake is to be megged by Kenny Ortega, the same man who directed High School Musical movies.

Star Trek Rakes in $31 Million in its First 2 Days

Box office ticket sales for the much-hyped Star Trek prequel have jumped up from a decent $7 million on its premiere to a whopping $24 million last Friday May 8. That makes it $31 million in the first two days of this Paramount produced flick starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. The box office sales are also expected to balloon up to $70 million this weekend (UPDATE: Star Trek earned $76.5 million already in its opening weekend, according to AP).

Critic reviews of Star Trek may have helped boost sales of this J.J. Abrams classic. Rotten Tomatoes website gave it 96 percent in positive ratings, while in Marc Bernandin's Entertainment Weekly article, he found this film to suffice each fan's geeky expectations. Bernandin writes that: "Me, I thought it was good. Very good, even. But not great". The greatness it lacked was due to the fact that it was a prequel and you'd always expect that the Star Trek will survive this and that. All in all, it was decent film enough to pull in the fans to watch it. Plus Chris Pine is too good looking to ignore. Here's the Star Trek trailer for those intrigued of what's this movie all about:

Thelma and Louise Last Names: What are the last names of Thelma & Louise?

Thelma & Louise is one of the classic movies I watched and analyzed before. Shown in 1991, Thelma & Louise is a road trip movie that starred Geena Davis as Thelma and Susan Sarandon as Louise. As this movie is a trail-blazing one in the sense that it had capitalized on two female protagonists, Thelma & Louise is a story of two female friends who chose to hit the road and leave behind their troubled homes. In the process, they become outlaws. This film is also one of the first appearances of Brad Pitt, who played Thelma's husband. So you wanna know the Thelma and Louise last names?


Their full names are Louise Elizabeth Sawyer and Thelma Yvonne Dickinson. Could you believe it was quite tricky to find that information? So that's it!

Sexy Piolo in "Land Down Under"

Although the movie has no definite playdate yet, the promos for the Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual starrer "Land Down Under" has been going on since August this year.

The press has been making it a fuss of whether Angel or Piolo had a dangerous experience doing horseback-riding scenes for the movie in Bukidnon. Anyway, the movie has not finished its shooting yet -- they still have ten more days to shoot in Australia in the coming days. The movie is produced by Star Cinema and is being directed by Rory Quintos.

In a recent interview, Piolo assured the press that there will be steamy love scenes. Although the film will not be too crassly sleazy knowing Star Cinema's standards, Piolo quipped that his role in the movie is his most daring yet. Of course, the yada-yada of their difficulties in the film shooting are still the meat of discussion. Like he went to train for horseback-riding under Vic Barba and actress-equestrienne Mikee Cojuangco, hello? Spare us the whining because that's the reason you're overpaid so you could bring justice to the role.

So this will be your sexiest role yet huh? Well, let's give Piolo the top five things he should never say when doing love scenes with Angel Locsin for this movie...

5.) Alam mo, kasingtaba mo na si Juday dati... Yung di pa sya nafi-Fitrum.

4.) Naku, day.. Mas magaling pa makigpaghalikan si Erik Santos sa'yo...

3.) YUL lick me here, YUL lick me there...

2.) (Breaks into a song) "You are so beautiful girl... Kaya pa-relax ka lang. Dito na sa Speed babad, Speed babad. Worry mo ay oveeeeer!"

And the top thing that Piolo should not say when doing a love scene for this movie is.....

1.) (Taking cue from Kirsten Dunst in the movie "Interview with the Vampire")

I want SAM more...

Brad on Security Guard Groping Incident

When other people are longing to be touched and embraced, some would not even wish they were Brad Pitt for a day. As the dashing Angelina Jolie husband was attending a Los Angeles screening of his newest movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, legions of screaming fans and paparazzi could not bear containing themselves from laying hands all over him.

So this security guard groped, pushed and spun him around like he was a handbag being swerved away from petty snatchers. Despite the brash treatment, Pitt maintained his gentlemanly demeanor throughout the ordeal.

Brad had no qualms with that as it is "just another day in the life". One photographer was even surprised at the intensity of protection because Brad was not mindful having his pictures taken upon arriving half an hour early at the Bruin Theater in Westwood. Then, when the theater security barged in to push away all unwanted paparazzi, one guard "accidentally grabbed Brad by the arm really hard". (Source: MARY GREEN and PERNILLA CEDENHEIM of People).

Well, I guess Brad would not have problems visiting Philippine malls, if that's the case. I know how it feels like being unceremoniously groped as if you're hiding something deadly. Anyway, it's for our own good, but can these security guys just pass their hands and not pinch your what-nots? So, if you're one of those guys who wanna be touched and violated with your clothes on, you know where to go... Hehe!

Yul Wins International Acting Award

Erstwhile sexy Pinoy actor Yul Servo gained accolades for two of his indie films "Brutus" and "Torotot" (Trumpet). This is why he was given two best actor trophies at the 35th Brussels International Independent Film Festival last November 10.

Despite of his sexy image, it is no doubt that this brown-skinned hunk can act. He is currently slated to star as a gardener who seduces a 12-year old boy in a quite disturbing film "Dose". Currently, he is part of the cast of GMA's "La Lola".

As if you didn't know, Yul is now a Manila councilor. Probably, following the footsteps of another sexy actor Isko Moreno, who's also fortunate to cop the Vice Mayoralty seat in Manila. Yul also gained notoriety as he was rumoured to be Piolo Pascual's beau years ago. They claim that they are only close friends and nothing more.

With that, many text jokes have sprouted that played on with Yul-Piolo rumour. Also, the jokes now mutated that it includes fellow heartthrob Sam Milby, after the Piolo-Sam fiasco that Lolit Solis made famous. Here are some of it:

*What is Papa Piolo's favorite song?
Dati, it was "YUL be in my heart". Ngayon, it's "SAMtimes when we touch".

*What is Papa Piolo's favorite candy flavor?
Dati, it was YULcalyptus. Ngayon, SAMpaloc na.

*What is Papa Piolo's favorite time of the year?
Dati, it was Christmas. Bakit? Kasi, it's YULetide season. Ngayon, SAMmer na ang gusto ni Papa Piolo.

*Sino namang Hollywood actor ang favorite ni Papa Piolo?
Di naman nagbago. Si SAM-YUL L. Jackson!

*What does Piolo need to make his life complete (parang Centrum)?
Some hugs, some kisses, some loving and of course, SAM Milby!

Luis and John Lloyd To Star in a Gay Movie

It's confirmed! Luis Manzano gave his nod in portraying his first gay role in a movie starring his mom, Vilma Santos and John Lloyd Cruz.

Well, it's about time that Star Cinema will dish out something new on its roster of quality movies. Instead of producing such shameful film titles before like Tong Tatlong Tatay Kong Pakitong-Kitong (My Three Fathers Who.. I don't know how to translate that!) and Haba Baba Doo! Puti Puti Poo! (Long Chin Doo! White White Poo! --?), Star Cinema is about to produce a much-awaited film comeback of Governor Vilma Santos, which incidentally has a dominant gay theme. Star Cinema has always been too safe in the past years because perennially aims at earning big-time at the tills, with most of its movies ranging from heavy drama to romantic-comedy.

Anyway, the movie is to be directed by Olivia Lamasan, so one can expect it to be beyond good. With both actors portraying their first gay roles, the scenes will definitely be something to look out for because it will challenge both actors' feminine side. Publicity feeds say that the film will not only show a gay kissing scene, but also a love scene. The movie will start shooting in February next year, where some scenes will be shot in New York.

The movie has no title yet. So, I'm giving out the top five worst possible movie titles for this Vilma-Luis-John Lloyd starrer:


5. Lloydie and Lucky... Happy Together!
4. Sister Stella L. and the Sisterettes
3. Broken Marriage Meets Brokeback Mountain
2. Darna at Bading

And the worst possible movie title for this Vilma-Luis-John Lloyd starrer is...

1. Bata, bata... Paano ka naging bakla?
Translation: Child, child... how did you become gay? (Duh! How do you expect me to translate that in English? The English title of "Bata, Bata... Paano Ka
Ginawa" was simply "Lea's Story")
