Mike Tyson Launching One Man Show

March 17, 2012 | 02:08 PM PDT

Filed under: Mike Tyson, Broadway

Will Mike Tyson's one man show be surprisingly successful?

This should be disturbing! Let's hope there's no audience volunteer portion of the show… Mike Tyson has announced that he's opening his show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth at the MGM Grand in April, and he intends to take it to Broadway. If Mike Tyson wins a Tony, I'm quitting the gossip rag game.

Filed under: Broadway, Movies, Random, Twitter Tuesdays

After working at a salon, will Nikki Blonsky work in Hollywood again?
Remember that large and in charge missy that was scooped-up from a local Coldstone Creamery and made the star of the re-make of Hairspray starring Zac Efron and John Travolta?! Nikki Blonsky??

Recently, someone caught wind of the 23-year-old, rags-2-riches-to-minimum-wager babeskies latest gig and it turns out that she went from waltzing read carpets to sweeping a local salon. Huh?

@NikkiBlonsky1 recently Twitter gushed: “It’s true I’m working @ Superstar Salon as a makeup artist & more. I’m proud 2 b workin & helpin pay bills BUT I’ll NEVER lose sight of my dream." Word?

Will Daniel Radcliffe continue to be a huge star without "Harry Potter"?
Ah winter. Hollywood's silly season of non-stop awards, titles and self-praise. Entertainment Weekly got in on the fun this week by naming Daniel Radcliffe its 2011 Entertainer of the Year. Congrats Danny!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 grossed over $1.3 BILLION worldwide, wrapping up the $7.7 BILLION film series. Raddy also took to the Broadway stage as the lead in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

But should that earn one the title of Entertainer of the Year? Most might argue it does warrant the title. Others, however, might argue that Kim Kardashian & Co. provided more entertainment than any other. It doesn't have to be good entertainment to still be entertainment.

First Look At Nick Jonas In "Hairspray"

August 07, 2011 | 12:24 PM PDT

Filed under: Broadway, Nick Jonas

Nick Jonas did an AWESOME job playing Link Larkin in Hairspray last night at the Hollywood Bowl. The cutest of the Jonas Brothers (quote me!) played opposite John Stamos and Harvey Feirstein. Check out Nick singing "It Takes Two."

The youngest Jonai stirred up controversy with the show because he has quite the stage kiss -- With a 38-year-old woman. Wow! 20 years older! Get it boy!

"Spider-Man" Producers Break Silence

April 23, 2011 | 04:44 PM PDT

Filed under: Broadway

Can the ill-fated Broadway production of "Spider-Man" ever be saved?
I don't know about chu'all, but I've been watching this Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark debacle from the beginning! It looks like the web slinging Broadway play is one great big pile of suck -- but after the producers fired the director, writer, and forced Bono and the Edge to tweak their music, I'm left wondering: Will the show be saved?

Producer Jeremiah Harris says "There's nothing easy on this show. From the time he and I took over and got involved, this has been a constant battle from every perspective." Producer Michael Cohl adds that the original story "was muddled [and] difficult to follow. It lacked emotion. It lacked spirit and sincerity."

The duo is optimistic about the re-tooled show. Cohl says "I am not the least bit embarrassed by any of this… We tried to do something that's ambitious to the third power."

Hope you installed safety nets!

Brooke Shields Joins "The Addams Family"

April 04, 2011 | 07:43 AM PDT

Filed under: Broadway, Brooke Shields

Should the "Addams Family" films be remade as a movie-musical?
45-year-old former model Brooke Shields has been cast in the Broadway musical The Addams Family starting this June. She'll be shedding her nice-girl image to play none other than Moricia Addams, the gothic babe portrayed by Anjelica Houston in the film.

The Suddenly Susan star replaces Bebe Neuwirth in the role. This isn't Shields' first time on Broadway. She appeared as Rizzo in Grease in 1995, and even Roxie from Chicago in 2005.

Vanilla Ice To Play Captain Hook

April 02, 2011 | 04:10 PM PDT

Filed under: Broadway

Will appearing in a mime production of "Peter Pan" help Vanilla Ice's career?
Uhhhhhhhh, what? Vanilla "Ice Ice Baby" is set to star as Captain Hook in an English production of Peter Pan. That's right.

BUT WAIT! That's not all! The play is a "pantomime piece," meaning: Mimes. That's right, Vanilla Ice will be in a mimed version of Peter Pan. The theater's manager says "[He] has never performed in a pantomime before, but I am sure that he will go down as a hit..."

Is this a big joke? And is Vanilla Ice in on the joke? My guess is yes, and no.

Zac Efron Wants to Get His Broadway On

August 21, 2010 | 08:02 AM PDT

Filed under: Zac Efron, Justin Timberlake, Broadway

Would you rather see Zac Efron star in a musical over Justin Timberlake?
All you have to say is "Za-" and suddenly my ears perk up hoping that you're talking about High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron!

It seems that Zac can't stay away from those musical adaptations! The Hairspray star was so enthralled by the Broadway show Memphis that he has expressed interest in staring in a movie version of the show.

I'm in, Zac! But he'll have to watch out...Rumor has it that W director Oliver Stone wants to direct a version with Justin Timberlake as the lead. And suddenly I'm faced with this awful awful decision:

Zac or Justin?

Are you excited to see the $50 million Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark"?
It seems like years since this thing has gotten off the ground! Across the Universe director Julie Taymor is hoping to do the same thing she did for the smash hit Lion King, and bring Spiderman to the great white way as a musical written by Bono. It’s called Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and it sounds just gawd awful! With a budget ballooning to over $50 million, the show went on a year-long hiatus with an uncertain future.
 
Rehearsals for the web-slinging re-hash begin August 16th. Reeve Carney, the nobody playing Peter Parker tweets:
 
“Wow, man, I can’t wait for the world to see this thing… It’s finally happening!! I honestly can’t believe I’m getting paid to do things my mom would have killed me for when I was a kid!”
 

Too bad shawty doesn’t know his show’s about to BOOOMMMBBB!
