Paramount Pictures has finally found their Ren McCormack, after Chase Crawford dropped out of the role. Thing is, the role has gone to a no-name! Newcomer Kenny Wormald won the role after a worldwide search!

Wormald, a Boston native, appeared in the MTV series Dancelife and recently toured with Justin Timberlake. He will join Dancing with the Stars alum Julianne Hough, who will play Ariel, and Dennis Quaid, who joins the cast in the role of Reverend Moore. Writer/director Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) will helm the project that he rewrote after Zac Efron and director Kenny Ortega dropped out of the famed 1980s remake last year.

This could be a star-making role for Wormald, as Ren McCormack was for Kevin Bacon back in 1984. Veteran producer Craig Zadan, who produced the original, will also produce the remake. The movie will feature choreography from Jamal Sims, who most recently worked with Madonna on her Sticky & Sweet tour, and will next work for Neil Patrick Harris on his production of Rent at the Hollywood Bowl.

Says Brewer, “I can promise Footloose fans that I will be true to the spirit of the original film. But I still gotta put my own Southern grit into it and kick it into 2011.”

Paramount has set April 1, 2011 for the film’s release. Production is set to begin in August.

Lady Gaga bares her heart — and much more — on the cover of Rolling Stone’s new issue, on sale at newsstands nationwide Friday, June 25th. In the most extensive interview the pop star has ever given about the breakup that inspired her transformation from Germanotta to Gaga, her complex relationship with her beloved father and the music on her next album, Lady Gaga tells Rolling Stone art is life and not being fierce isn’t an option: “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl,” she says. “Then I say, ‘B*tch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’ ”

In a backstage interview before and after one of her mammoth Monster Ball shows in England, Gaga admits she wouldn’t have been as successful if she hadn’t had her heart broken by her East Village boyfriend five years ago, and that “sex is certainly not, like, a priority at the moment.” Her priority is, and has been, the relationship she’s built with her fans. “If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I’d come out as Gaga,” she says, adding that she models her celebrity on Michael Jackson. “Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business. That’s what we do. I don’t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music.”

Gaga also reveals some deeply personal details for the first time, including her recurring nightmare involving a phantom and a blond girl who’s tied up with ropes. “She’s got my shoes on from the Grammys,” Gaga says. “Go figure — psycho.” When presented with the idea that her behavior indicates she’s a survivor of a traumatic experience, Gaga says there are limits to what she’ll discuss in public. “You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.”

Despite a health scare (she currently doesn’t have Lupus, but the disease runs in her family) and nonstop touring, Gaga hasn’t lost her creative inspiration — she’s currently finishing up her new record and designing the stage production for her next tour. Gaga plans to announce the title of her new album — due out early next year — at midnight on New Year’s Eve. “I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” she says. “I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.” As for the subject matter of the music, Gaga says she’s moved on with writing songs about her quest for fame to crafting tunes with an angry, perhaps political bent. “Why are we still talking about ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’?” she says. “It’s like, what f*cking year is it? It makes me crazy! And I have been for three years baking cakes — and now I’m going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly. The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.”

Katie and Tom are in NYC where Tom is busy promoting his new film Knight and Day.

Tori Spelling says 90210 costar Tiffani (Amber) Thiessen doesn’t like her anymore.

“She doesn’t talk to me anymore,” Spelling, 37, said of Thiessen on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Monday.

In fact, the only costar she still speaks with is one of her best friends, Jennie Garth. She admits that she’s lost touch with all her other 90210 costmates.

“All my ’90210′ cast members hate me,” claimed the actress, who is currently hawking her latest book, “Uncharted TerriTORI.” “We were great friends during ’90210,’ we were friends after ’90210,’ and they all came to my first wedding.”

Following her divorce from Charlie Shanian in 2006, Spelling’s so-called feud began after she wed actor Dean McDermott less than a month later.

“All of a sudden, I marry Dean and I don’t know what happened,” she said. “I lost all my cast members.”

She added, “It’s my perception, and nonetheless, it’s a fun story.”

Also, in her new book Uncharted terriTORI Tori opens up about her fear that husband Dean McDermott will cheat on her.

“I’m a normal girl, and I worry about that stuff,” she explained. “You know how girls are! Girls get jealous. You have to deal with that living all the time. It happens. We are who we are.”

Tori says she’s confident in her marriage – most of the time. “He doesn’t really get jealous,” said Spelling, mother to Liam, 3, and Stella, 2. “I feel like an oddball being jealous all the time.”

I think she should worry! I definitely believe a man or woman who is capable of cheating on a spouse is more likely to cheat again in the future. You might not agree…
