I love ‘Princess Bride’ so much! One of my favorite’s of all time. Here’s to hoping they don’t try and do a remake.

Full picture below!

Julianne Hough is Hollywood’s new “it girl”. She’s not only starring in the upcoming ‘Rock of Ages’ opposite Tom Cruise, but she’s also starring in the remake of one of Hollywood’s most beloved films, ‘Footloose’.

Directed by Craig Brewer, Hough stars as Ariel, a small-town preacher’s rebellious daughter — a role first played by Lori Singer in 1984. Is she worried about backlash from fans of the beloved original? “We didn’t mess this up,” Hough told Moviefone. “Just go see it; there’s so many skeptical people out there that have gone to see it already and we’ve changed their minds.”

How many times have you seen the original?
Oh my gosh, probably over 50 times. Whether it’s on TV, I just kind of flip through channels and if it’s on, I’ll always watch it.

When this came along, did you go after the role or did they come to you?
I was attached when Kenny Ortega was first directing, and he came to me when I was still on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and asked, “Would you like to audition?” I was like, “Yeah! Totally.” A lot of people don’t know this, but I’ve wanted to act my whole life. That’s what brought me out here. So I auditioned and I got it and then people started dropping out and there was a moment for me when I was like, “Maybe I don’t want to do this,” because it’s not like the original — it’s a musical and I was thinking that a lot of the ‘Footloose’ fans from the original were going to be really upset. So, at first, I was a little apprehensive, but then they went a different direction. And then Craig Brewer signed on and I read his version and I was like, “Wow, okay, this is like the original and I get to show off more of the acting side and not so much the dancing.” But then I found out he wanted to do his own cast and hire them and so I was like, “Oh crap!” So I had to go and convince him that I was Ariel. I read for him, very casually, and out in Nashville and he hired me that day. I’m so glad and so glad that this version was made.

How important was staying faithful versus doing something new and original?
I think we were really lucky that Paramount was doing it, since they did the original. We had two of the originals that produced it on our set every day. And then Craig Brewer, who calls himself a “Footloose-ologist.” He saw it when he was 13 and thought this movie was literally made for him, so it holds a dear place in his heart. I kind of left that pressure to them and I just kind of felt like, I’m going to take this like how I feel this generation is going to look at this movie now and I did that. I really felt like I made Ariel my own and really tried to do some different things with her.

You got to wear the same red boots and the same prom dress as Lori Singer did in the original.
The dress was a little modified, but it was pretty similar. My favorite were the boots, though. I would wear the boots now.

What do you want to tell fans who are upset that there’s a remake and are convinced it won’t be any good?
I always watch remakes and I’m like, “Ugh, that was terrible, they totally butchered that.” But I can honestly say with pride that we did not mess this up. And it’s great. I think that you don’t see a lot of teen movies like the ’80s teen movies nowadays, with messages basically telling kids, “Fight for what you believe in.”

Have you heard from anyone in the original cast?
Not yet. None of them have seen the movie yet.

Are you anxious to hear their reactions?
Yeah. I hope that they like it and that we did them proud. But we feel like we really made our own movie with just a piece of the original.

MUCH MORE from the interview here!

‘Footloose’ is one of those movies that is so special, I’m really nervous about a remake. Usually remakes are NEVER a good thing. In fact – I’m not coming up with any remake that was better than the original. I’m sure they exist. I’m hoping this movie does the original justice, although I cannot imagine a ‘Footloose’ without Kevin Bacon. It’s just not right!

The adorable Zooey Deschanel has been busy these days filming her new sitcom, New Girl, airing Tuesdays on FOX. Yesterday, the quirky actress was spotted filming episodes of the scripted comedy in L.A.

Although Zooey’s show received good reviews after its premiere last month, the network has decided to hold off on new episodes until November due to conflicts with MLB playoffs and the The X Factor.

I’ve watched the first two episodes of ‘New Girl’, and I didn’t like it! I love Zooey, so I was really bummed that I don’t like her show. I just find it unfunny. Not a fan.

Have you seen it? What do you think?

The FBI has finally arrested the person they believe is responsible for the hacking of several celebrities including Scarlett Johansson and Vanessa Hudgens. The FBI is convinced that there is one person responsible for leaking the nude pictures. Apparently the guy never made a cent of the pictures he stole – he just did it for the fun of it.

Law enforcement sources tell us the man is from Florida, and the FBI has known about him for several months, but the U.S. Attorney didn’t take action until now.

Our sources say the man hacked into numerous celebrity phones and then distributed the ill-gotten photos to third parties, never asking for any money.  He did it because he got a charge out of it.

The FBI says the investigation was dubbed, “Operation Hackerazzi.”

So far, the identity of the suspect has not been released.

Among the stars who claim they were victimized by the hacker — Ali Larter, Jessica Alba and Emma Caulfield.

I love both of them! (Yes, even Gwynnie) Can’t wait to see it!

There have been plenty of rumors going around that Ashton Kutcher was driven to cheating – because his wife, Demi Moore – is a big ol’ hot mess. After battling substance abuse problems in the 90′s, Demi had reportedly been clean for years. Could her drinking have something to do with Ashton’s wandering peen?

Demi Moore is spiraling out of control according to a new report in InTouch Weekly. The magazine alleges that Demi, 48, has been behaving more like a ‘Girl Gone Wild’ over the past year instead of a married mom-of-three. The report claims that Demi has been so insecure that her husband Ashton Kutcher, 33, would leave her for a younger woman that she has reportedly turned to drinking.

“Demi is a complete mess,” a friend reveals. “The last year of her life has been a downward spiral, and she’s being urged to face her demons.”

The magazine points out one instance when Demi and Ashton were having their home renovated and Demi reportedly greeted the workers “sloppy drunk” every day.

“She would be drunk to the point of sexy dancing and passing out,” says the insider. “The workers were embarrassed for Ashton. Demi seemed to insecure — like she was working so hard to prove her appeal.”

Demi entered rehab in the 80s for a reported cocaine addiction and after a two week stint she was said to have kicked the habit for good.

“Demi is in a bad place, and her loved ones are concerned,” says the source. “They want her to get better … it’s a misconception that she was ever 100 percent sober. She’s been drinking for years.”
