This week in Twittering Celebrity twatter we have two very different twittery stories.
Perpetual 12-year old and cougar-lover Ashton Kutcher threatened to quit that Twitter-bitch if they teamed up to do a reality show, ‘cuz you know, Kutcher’s above that sort of thing. Anyone remember “Punk’d?”
Ashton Kutcher — Twitter’s top tweeter — warned he may pull the plug on his tweeting if the micro-blogging service partners on a reality TV show.
“It’s all fun and games until somebody gets stalked,” Kutcher wrote in a Twitter posting late Monday.
Variety magazine reported Monday that San Francisco-based Twitter.com had partnered with TV producers Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment on an unscripted show that would be “putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format.”
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said there was “no official Twitter TV show” in the works, but “we have a lightweight, non-exclusive, agreement with the producers which helps them move forward more freely.”
Kutcher used Twitter to post a link to a news report about the partnership along with this message: “Wow I hope this isn’t true. I really don’t like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus.”
The actor, who boasts a record 2 million Twitter followers, frequently posts updates that take fans behind the scenes of his life and his current movie production — “Five Killers.”
“Five Killers” director Robert Luketic, who caught Kutcher’s Twitter addiction, also suggested he would disappear from the Twitterverse.
“Ahh yeah. If this is true my shop is closed,” Luketic tweeted in response to Kutcher’s message.
Kutcher challenged CNN last month in a race to 1 million Twitter followers, which he won. His following has almost doubled that in the five weeks since.
His wife, actress Demi Moore, also threatened to shut down her Twitter account, which has more than 1 million followers.
“I hope this isn’t true — if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!” Moore tweeted Monday.
Bitch PUHHHHLLEEEAAASSEE! Ever since Ashton teamed up with that stale botoxed sandwich Demi, he’s been a wet blanket full of twatty-ness. When these two aren’t crying about the non-issues like being “harassed by paparazzi” they are posting gross pictures of Demi’s ass or her missing toof. I can honestly not think of a more annoying couple, and that’s including Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. *ahem*
Losing Ashton and Demi’s voice in the “twitterverse” would be a Godsend, so please let the stalking begin if that’s what it takes. Two less twits twittering, where’s the downside?
On the upside, it’s nice to hear some celebs are using the blabbering-tool for the good of others. The NIN brainchild, Trent Reznor is using his twittering to help raise funds for Eric De La Cruz, the brother of CNN correspondent Veronica De La Cruz. Eric, who’s only 27, is dying from a rare condition and needs a heart transplant. When Reznor heard about the efforts to help save Eric, he decided to get involved and used his Twitter following to raise donations for Eric. More from BNET:
But, as the De La Cruz family is learning, then there is the power of rock n roll. Trent Reznor, who is better known as Nine Inch Nails and who is currently on a revival tour, found out about Eric’s case and posted via Twitter and the Nin website an offer way too good to refuse.
Donate money to Eric’s cause and you can hang out backstage with Nine Inch Nails during their tour. Over the space of about 48 hours, according to my sources as well as posts on Twitter, the group has raised around a quarter million dollars to help Eric’s chances of obtaining his heart transplant.
That amount is now in the $850,000 range and growing. Click on Trent’s page to learn more about how to help Eric.
Now, it’s no secret I would have had Trent Reznor’s goth babies (’except he’s now engaged, and well, I am married and beyond having bay-beh friends) so I guess you could say I am a bit biased. This however, does NOT mean I am wrong. Twitter (and yes Glosslip has an account in case you wish to follow our occasional tweets) is like any social networking tool, it can be used for good, like Trent is using it, or it can be used to annoy the hell out of people, like Ashton and Demi insist on doing.
The tool is only as good as the tools using it, and let’s face it, Ashton is a complete tool. Also, I CAN’T wait until Demi’s entire face and body collapse under the weight of all the plastic and botox she’s injected into and she finally looks her age. We’ll see how long Ashton hangs around for that nightmare.
Tick tock tick tock…Father Time awaits you Demi

And here we go again with the remakes!
It has been decided that they are going ahead and remaking Footloose. Why don’t they just leave these movies alone? Many would consider the original Footloose back in 1984, starring Kevin Bacon, a classic. The popular teen movie also starred a young Sarah Jessica Parker and the great Jon Lithgow.
I never considered Footloose a classic myself, but I do like Kevin Bacon, and I think they should just stop remaking these movies and come up with their own friggin’ ideas.
The original movie’s story was about a city kid who moves to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned. No, it wasn’t filmed in Amish Country in Pennsylvania.
I would think they might have to update the story line a tad to make it relevant to today’s youth. Maybe this one will be about an urban white boy who wants to rap? Oh wait, Eminem already did that.
Chace Crawford of “Gossip Girl” has been tapped to play the part of Ren McCormack, the part made famous by Bacon. Originally High School Musical and Hairspray star Zac Efron was set to play the part, but dropped out of the project, supposedly because he was done acting in musicals. Hmmm….one man’s cheese is another man’s gold I guess.
A better question is, will Kenny Loggins update the theme song of the same name, or will they remake that as well?
Hollywood — destroying my youth one remake at time.
While Chace is certainly a bit more hunky than Bacon, what with his chiseled jaw and classic good looks, I don’t know if he has the dancing chops to fill the role as Bacon did. Bacon did most of the dancing in the original,although he did have a dance-double for the more difficult parts. Which reminds me, how has Bacon managed to avoid “Dancing With The Stars”?
Kevin Bacon in Origial Footloose 1984
Bacon even does a back flip at the school dance. But perhaps the most famous scene for Bacon is the warehouse dance scene. And if you need a refresher on this movie, like I did. Check out the original Movie Trailer.
Back to the remake….
Us Magazine reported:
It’s official! Chace Crawford will star in the Footloose remake, Paramount Pictures confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively.
“Chace Crawford will play the lead role of Ren McCormack in the film Footloose,” Paramount told Us Tuesday.
The news is expected to be officially announced to trade publications Wednesday morning.
The actor has been considering the part for some time but had yet to officially sign until this week. He had been in contract negotiations and was struggling to make filming work around his Gossip Girl schedule, which is also due to start shooting its third season, a source told Us.
Crawford was offered the lead role of small town bad boy Ren — portrayed in the 1984 original by Kevin Bacon — after Zac Efron dropped out of the project in March.
The High School Musical star said the film “sort of” wasn’t a good fit.
“I want to grow a bit with the types of movies I want to make,” he said in April. “It was more along the lines that I was looking for a new challenge, and this was another musical.”
Footloose will be produced and directed by High School Musical alum Kenny Ortega.
Other stars who have auditioned recently for the movie, which is set to begin shooting in March 2010, include Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes and Dancing With the Stars pro dancer Julianne Hough.
Well I am sure all pubescent gals will be drooling over this movie, just like they did High School Musical.
Wonder what Kevin Bacon will think of the movie remake? Well apparently, not too much.
From TopNews back in March:
Kevin Bacon has told Broadway bosses not to offer him a role in the stage revival of his hit movie musical `Footloose’, as he’’s just “not interested”.
“I”m not interested in doing that. They did one, and that’’s enough for me.”
I hear Bacon is a nice guy, plus, he gets major props for keeping his Hollywood marriage to actress Kyra Sedgwick going for the last 21 years — a lifetime in Hollywood years. While Kevin may not be interested in doing any more Footloose interpretations, perhaps he will be curious enough to give this movie the ol’ once over to see if Chace did his part any justice.
Of course, Kevin’s got plenty of his plate to keep him busy, like his rock band, the Bacon Brothers Band and the charity he started called Six Degrees.
The charity is set up so you can basically support your favorite charities by donating or creating fund-raising badges — as well as check out the favorite causes of other people, including celebrities online.
A little help from Wiki to understand the premise behind the trivia game SixDegrees and the charity:
The charity was named six degrees after the trivia game based on the concept of the small world phenomenon and rests on the assumption that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon within six steps.
The game requires a group of players to try to connect any film actor in history to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible. In 2007, Bacon started a charity named SixDegrees.org. The fantasy author-editor Richard Gilliam devised his Movie Links online game in 1990, and it was played extensively on Genie four years before the quite similar Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game was promoted in 1994. Gilliam’s game was much more difficult in that a player was required to find the shortest number of movies linking actors as diverse as, say, Gloria Swanson and Chris Farley, rather than continual links to the same specific actor.
Pretty darn cool huh? Beat that Chace! For us in the “mature audience” we’ll take the original Footloose any day. No offense Chace!
