Word On The Street: Fame Remake Sucks
For anyone who hasn't seen the original 1980 version of Fame, it's not exactly what you'd expect. Because you were expecting a grinning mob of leotard whores prancing around, squealing "feel the music!" to one another, whilst occasionally breaking rank to march silently towards a mirror, caressing their bodies, growling like tigers, weren't you? Weren't you? Go on, admit it. You were. And, for the most part, you'd be right. But, the original film was so much more than that. It was bleak. It was brilliant. And the new one, apparently, is a big sack of turds. So says the Boston Herald and LA Times anyway, and they've SEEN it. In the first outing, a cross section of New York "talent" is thrown together in a strict school for special people, who like singing, dancing and acting. The kids sometimes take time to play a cello in the canteen, or dash into the streets because a man in a taxi left his stereo on, and it's playing loud music.

Kelsey Grammer’s Heart Gives Out, Slightly
The only time Kelsey Grammer had previously been associated with a sense of impending doom was when people heard he was going to be an X-Man. But that changed in Hawaii this weekend, when Frasier star Kelsey Grammer suffered a heart attack. Don't panic, though - it was the just the normal kind of mild heart attack that you'd expect from someone with a history of cocaine and alcohol addiction, and Kelsey Grammer is currently recovering in an undisclosed hospital. Reports that David Hyde Pierce has also had a mild heart attack that was more pernickity and gay-seeming, just to make Kelsey Grammer's mild heart attack look more normal are rubbish. Seriously, we made them up just now.
