Gosh I miss High School, especially the prom...wait a second...no I don't! I do find it fitting that Hollywood has decided to remake the 1980 horror classic inspired by the antiquated event, though. Brittany Snow has taken over for Jamie Lee Curtis is this modern day retelling.
I have only bothered to write about his after my mother and I saw the trailer over Easter and instead of being the slightest bit scared, found ourselves laughing out loud.
I laughed at the fact that the last two Brittany Snow films have featured Quiet Drive's "Time After Time". Not to mention, the fact that this film (or at least its trailer) takes itself WAY to seriously.
I've put the trailer below just in case you want to decide for yourself. If you are brave enough to go see Prom Night in theaters it opens this Friday.

The Buzz part. deux: text message break up, Thursday Night Live?, Pam Anderson's reality
* Text Message Dump
-Damn technology. In today's society when couples break up they don't even have to do it in person! Carrie Underwood has dished to the press that her breakup with Gossip Girl's star Chace Crawford was done via text messaging. She claims it was "completely mutual". I wonder if that's because when they broke up Chace didn't have any service and couldn't respond in disagreement.
*Pam Anderson's reality
-Haven't you always wondered what goes through Pamela Anderson's head? Good news...you'll get to find out thanks to a new E! reality show. The former Baywatch star will fly solo in the series, meaning you won't get to see her kids. The network's release regarding the new series had this to say: “Viewers will get to know the real woman behind the famous breasts and follow Pam as she tries to juggle love, career and peace of mind. Going beyond the fame and fortune, this is Pam at her core, living her life with no regrets.”
Yeah that doesn't sound very exciting. A better reality show would be "Pam Anderson's plastic Surgeon". It's be like Dr. 90210 only better.
*SNL on Thursday?
-Maybe it's just me, but the whole point of Saturday Night Live being called Saturday Night Live IS THAT IS AIRS ON SATURDAYS AND IS LIVE!!! The peacock apparently didn't watch High School Musical because they sure as heck aren't sticking to the status quo. NBC has ordered up new episodes of SNL with specific politically themed sketches to air on Thursdays after The Office. The show will run in the weeks directly before the 2008 election. Here's my question: Are they going to open with 'Live from New York it's NOT Saturday Night!!!"

The Buzz: Entertainment news from Abroad, More song leakage
*Busy Brits
-British news reports indicate that the very adorable Prince Harry (hey I've seen him in person and can totally vouch for his hotness!) is not off the market. The Prince apparently popped the question to Chelsy Davi while on a safari in Botswana. I didn't know people actually vacationed in Botswana. Then again, when you have as much money as the royal family you can probably vacation wherever the heck you want.
*The Verdicts In...Princess Di's Driver and Paps to blame for Death
-It's been more than ten years since everyone's favorite Princess and Dodi Fayed,boyfriend and son of Harrod's owner, died tragically in a motor vehicle accident in a Paris underpass. The results of an official inquest are out. It was deemed that the actions of the vehicle's driver and the pursuing paparazzi caused the unlawful deaths. Recklass speeds and the lack of seatbelt use also contributed to the crash.
* New music on the Internet..."It Sucks".
-Kelly Clarkson found four yet unreleased songs leaked onto the internet this week. The demos were featured on a music blog and were obviously a work in progress. Kelly voiced her opinion of the leak saying to Billboard that, "The fact that people have heard music that's not ready yet sucks,but I hope they like it." The country inspired tracks (Kelly did just wrap up her tour with Reba McIntire) have already been taken down from the site. Bummer.

The Buzz: Cameron Diaz dating, Mariah's new album out-ish, Charlton Heston RIP
*There's something about Cameron.
-It seems as though Cameron Diaz now knows the answer to the question that was on every girls mind after the release of last year's 300. Are those Gerard Butler's real abs? Published reports indicate that Butler and Diaz have been quietly dating and were recently seen sharing drinks at Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica.
*Mariah Carey is having a bad week.
-You'd think Mariah Carey would be on top of the world right now with a new album on the way...but insteady Mimi has been laced in controversy as of late. Carey performed on German Idol recently but both judges and fans of the show suspect she was lipsyncing. To add insult to injury Mariah's new album has been leaked on the Internet. Bummer.
*R.I.P. Charlton Heston
-Sadly Oscar winning actor Charlton Heston passed away this weekend. The man who once played Moses died at his home with his wife of more than 60 years at his side. He was 84 years old. In 2002 Heston announced he had Alzheimer's and disappeared from much of the public eye.
*Jamie Lynn celebrates her B-Day by going to Wal Mart.
-So I grew up in a small town. A big day always includes going to Wal Mart, which is why I would have NEVER expected someone like Jamie Lynn Spears to include a trip to the famed retailer on her birthday. I might even let that slide, had her dinner plans not included a stop at Ruby Tuesday. I'm not saying Ruby Tuesday is bad. I'm saying that it seems like an odd place for a celebrity, even a 17-year old knocked up girl from hick-town Louisiana, to celebrate her birthday. It does make me feel much better about my life though. I've celebrated many a birthday at Applebees.
*Leatherheads gets sacked
-Maybe it was a case of over-marketing. I certainly feel like I've already seen George Clooney's latest film and I haven't set foot in a theater recently. Whatever it was, audiences across the nation haven't been drawn to the film as expected. The football film lost out at the box office to 21 and tied for second with the childrens flick Nim's Island (yeah I haven't really heard of it either). While the official numbers aren't in yet, Leatherheads is projected to pull in $13.5 million from the box office this weekend. Could it be that ole George is losing his touch?

NKOTB:Bringing back The Right Stuff
So they're a little older, but that doesn't mean that the New Kids on the Block aren't any worse looking than they were when they originally won over girls hearts fourteen years ago. Rainsoaked women stood wearing NKOTB apparel in front of the stage at the Today show hoping to get a glimpse of their one-time idols. Sadly the boys-scratch that-the MEN didn't perform...but they did say they'd be making a return trip to the show for their first performance on May 16th.
Check out their appearance here:

The Buzz: Dressing up in Brit, Cage gets an apology, Scarlett's trying to sing too
* Dressed like a Brit
Britney Spears doesn't just want to be a bad role model, she wants to be a model for children's clothing. The former Mousketeer and mother of two wants to tap into that inner child by starting a line with Hollywood outfitter Ed Hardy.
*Sorry and then Some
-Lying is bad news. Kathleen Turner found that out the hard way as the ruling from London's High Court of Justice granted Nicolas Cage an apology and then some. The "Peggy Sue Got Married" co-star will also owe Cage damages as a result of the libel suit brought against Turner and her publisher for an excerpt from the book Send Yourself Roses. In the book Turner claims that Cage was arrested twice for drunk driving and once for stealing a Chihuahua.
Seriously super stars don't need to steal puny little dogs. Get real.
*Another actress attempts to sing.
-Scarlett Johnasson is getting ready to release her first solo album. Anywhere I lay my Head is due out May 20th. Here is my question: Can she actually sing? If you've seen The Other Boleyn Girl you know that she tests her vocal chords out in that one...and its SERIOUSLY painful. I know she was acting, but still...I can't imagine she could get THAT much better. Then again, technology is a wonderful thing.
