Zac Efron wants to star in a 'Grease ' remake

Zac Efron wants to star in a 'Grease' remake.

The 'High School Musical' heartthrob admits he would love to step into John Travolta's shoes as gang leader Danny Zuko in the musical movie, but only with the legendary actor's consent.


Zac - who appeared alongside John in the recent film version of hit musical 'Hairspray' - said: "If John was involved I'd do it. But without his consent there's no way I could ever attempt a role like that. That's too hard, he's just too cool. He's a stud!"

The 20-year-old actor also revealed he is happy to star in more musicals after the success of his Disney movie franchise, and is convinced Hollywood will continue making all-singing, all-dancing films.

Zac added: "I love musicals! I've noticed that various movie studios want to get involved with making musicals and I think it's great. They're making a comeback and so I think there should be more in the pipeline. Any time there's a musical, I'm up for being on board. It's fun."

Mariah Carey: Determined not to get pregnant for fear of extra weight!

Mariah Carey is determined not to get pregnant because she doesn't want to put on weight.

The 'Touch My Body' singer - who has recently been showing off her slim line figure in a variety of skimpy outfits - is reportedly in no rush to start a family with new husband Nick Cannon because she is so concerned about gaining excess pounds again.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Mariah gets teased all the time about when she is going to have a baby - but she just looks at you like you said a dirty word and tells you that with her new figure, and how hard she always needs to work to keep the weight off, one pregnancy and it would be over!

"Mariah has got a great life - she is not looking for anyone, or anything, to change that. She would play a concert a month to support the world's starving children but a child of her own has never been her dream."

Lindsay Lohan returned to 'Ugly Betty set' for cameo episodes

Clad in a sexy orange cheerleader's uniform, Lindsay Lohan returned to the Ugly Betty set this week to continue filming her cameo episodes in the satirical fashion industry show. The starlet, who plays lead actress America Ferrera's former high school nemesis Kimmie, later swapped the ensemble for another racy school-girl style outfit of a pvc skirt and over-the-knee socks.

In the current storyline Lindsay is down on her luck and working in a fast-food outlet while the star of America's character has risen.

The rest of the Ugly Betty team have been full of praise for the Mean Girls actress. Ana Ortiz – Betty's sister in the popular series – said the 22-year-old actress quickly got into the improvisational style used by the cast, starting with a scene in which a food fight takes place.

"She throws a mean bagel," she joked. "It broke the ice really well!"

Alexa Ray Joel showcased her musical talents for benefit in New York

Proud parents Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley were more than happy to take a back seat on Saturday to watch their daughter Alexa Ray showcase her own musical talents at a benefit event in New York.

After guests at the sold-out fundraiser had enjoyed locally produced wine and cheeses, the talented 22-year-old daughter of the Piano Man took to the stage to provide the entertainment, singing a selection of tracks from behind her keyboard.

Encouraged from an early age by her famous father and classically trained on the piano, Alexa is an accomplished performer in her own right and delighted the crowd – including mom and dad – with her soulful blues sound.

The night had special meaning for the trio as the aim was to raise money for the Save Sag Harbor fund, a cause that helps preserve local shops in the area that Alexa, Billy and Christie have all called home.

its flagship store in New York.

The company enlisted the help of their new "angel" 23-year-old Doutzen Kroes and Victoria's Secret veteran Adriana Limain.

The company enlisted the help of their new "angel" 23-year-old Doutzen Kroes and Victoria's Secret veteran Adriana LimainBoth models paraded the new lingerie from the "Supermodel Obsessions" range in front of eagle-eyed fans and the media.

New signing Kroes said: "I just signed my contract with Victoria's Secret and when I arrived here this morning and saw all the pictures - it was just amazing."

Kroes has graced the covers of numerous fashion and society magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.

In April 2006 she signed a three-year contract with L'Oreal Paris. She can currently be seen in the company's commercials alongside Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington.

The new range of lingerie is made up of three themes: the prettiest pales which highlights soft pinks and greys, precious details, which is all about black lace and bows and boyish charms, which draws inspiration from men's silk ties and jumpers.

According to the designer Janie Schaffer consumers are looking for a "little pick-me up" that "won't break the bank."

She said: "We're very conscious that this might be a place where they can come and get something a little bit glamorous, a little bit lovely and afford to be a little bit frivolous even if it's only them that's going to get to see it."

The collection is available at Victoria's Secret stores.

Charlize Theron Brightened Up The Venice Film Festival

Beautiful Hollywood actress Charlize Theron brightened up the Venice Film Festival on Friday as she arrived for the photocall for her latest flick wearing a vibrant fuchsia Versace dress.

Teaming the outfit with black buckle heels and sunglasses, South Africa-born Charlize smiled broadly as she stepped off the boat before posing for waiting photographers. The folds and detailing on the dress, taken from Versace's 2009 resort collection, emphasised the Oscar-winning actress' enviable figure as she got to work promoting The Burning Plain.

And the Monster star's passion for fashion did not stop there. In an on-trend one-shouldered embellished number from the same fashion house, Charlize worked the red carpet at the film's premiere later that day.

Also starring LA Confidential actress Kim Basinger, The Burning Plain is a multi-part story about a mother and daughter trying to bond. Charlize not only stars in the movie, one of five US entries up for the festival's Golden Lion best film award, but also worked as its executive producer.

Kate Moss has been named the sexiest lingerie model ever.

The British beauty topped the poll by luxury underwear brand Agent Provocateur - which listed the top 10 most attractive women who have modelled for the chain - after appearing in several raunchy adverts and short films.

Explaining why Kate, 34, had topped the list, the survey said: "In the four films starring Kate, we are given dream sequences that invite us to imagine how we might fulfil her desires.

"The dreams are beautifully crafted fantasies, each with an eerie atmosphere that brings us into a serene la-la land where we feel free to imagine pleasing Kate."

Singer Kylie Minogue, 40, took second place in the poll, while burlesque dancer Dita von Teese, 35, bagged third spot.

Kylie was praised for a promotional piece she shot which sees her riding an electric horse.

The survey noted: "The camera closes in on her bulging behind as it rides up and down and shakes from side to side."

Dita won the third spot thanks to her ability to "tease out men's deepest fantasies through the power of suggestion".

Kylie Minogue: Disappointed with her last album 'X'

Kylie Minogue has admitted she is disappointed with her last album 'X'.

The Australian-born pop singer says although her 'X2008' tour has been well received, her post-breast cancer LP wasn't as good as it could have been.

Kylie told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "In retrospect we could definitely have bettered it, I'll say that straight up. 'Wow', '2 Hearts' and 'In My Arms' are crackers - they go off like a frog in a sock - but given the time we had, it is what it is."

Despite a huge push from her record label, the album

flopped in the US - not even making the top 100 of the American album charts.

However, Kylie isn't upset that Stateside success has eluded her.

She said: "I always go over there with the same attitude I've always had, which is, 'If it's to happen, it'll happen.' I'm kept pretty much busy enough. We'll see. I'm not racing over there. I'm heading home."

Kylie also revealed an unlikely inspiration for her tour - rock band Queen, in particular late flamboyant frontman Freddie Mercury.

Kylie added: "I'm releasing my inner Freddie Mercury. It's hard to explain but parts of the show are so over the top. When I sing 'Your Disco Needs You' it's a real Freddie moment."

Eva Mendes: I am a horrible cook!

Eva Mendes is a terrible cook.

The 'Ghost Rider' actress admits she loves food but is so bad at cooking she does not even try any more.

She said: "I have too much respect for food to do what I've done to it in the past. Man, I've really killed some stuff."

The actress also revealed despite her svelte figure, she has never cut down on junk food to maintain her weight.

She said: "I'd shock you at how much I could eat. Any kind of dessert is fantastic. It's gross, but I also love cup noodles. I'll eat two at a time because the salt really does it for me. They're so cheap so they can't be that good for you, but they're yummy!"

Eva added she only really watches her diet when she is filming, and allows herself to indulge at other times.

She explained: "If I have a shoot I'll work out more and watch what I eat, but if I don't I'll let myself go. I'm addicted to bread. I want it constantly so, right now, I'm letting myself have more of it but when I start my next movie I'll cut down."

Lindsay Lohan's grandfather dies

Lindsay Lohan's grandfather died thursday. (28.08.08)

The 'Mean Girls' star's father Michael confirmed the death of his dad Richard - who had been suffering from terminal colon cancer - but revealed he is unsure whether the 23-year-old actress will attend the funeral following the pair's public war of words.

Michael told America's OK! magazine: "My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified my ex-wife Dina's attorney. Let's see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral.

"THIS will show her true colours! Thus, not even a call. But that's par for the course with Dina! She didn't even send a card or visit when he was sick."

Michael - who accused Lindsay's girlfriend Samantha Ronson of using his daughter earlier this week - also revealed he is planning to star in a TV special.

The show will document how Michael's stinging attack on Samantha was orchestrated by Dina.

He said: "I'm going to do a one-hour special. Everyone is going to hear everything for themselves. They're going to hear everything Dina has to say. I have it all on tape - all recorded, time and date-stamped.

"You will hear it all. I have 101 text messages between Lindsay and I, and I have about 60 tape recordings of Dina. These lies have to stop. She can't say all these things to me and when I try to address it, deny everything. Dina's a hypocrite and I'm tired of it."
