...And why my nearly 40 year old ass is excited about this I have NO idea But yes, they're going to redo the movie AND they're BRINGING BACK DEBBIE ALLEN

http://news.yahoo.com/s/n...nm/us-fame

and all the teachers and administrators have been cast: Kelsey Grammer, BeBe Newirth (that's my GURL ) I hope they just don't f*** up with casting the students...aaah I remember the days of being a youngin' running around in leggings and leotards, quoting Debbie's famous line,

"You want FAME? Well fame COSTS. And right here is where you start PAYING. IN
S-WEAT "

oooh the memories

...alls I know is that they'd better not mess this up, or I'ma be MAD


"Fame! I'm gonna live fa-evah..."

Remakes are stupid

I know Sunny....but it's FAME...!!!

I've never seen the original.

I was JUST quoting Debbie's opening line on the tv show to my friend: "You want fame? Well fame costs. . . and here is where you start paying. . . in sweat!" Only thing missing was that big stick. That was my SHIT! I love that Debbie Allen. The Oscars haven't been the same without her.

Totally unrelated but as I type this an Always Infinity pad commercial is on TV and I SWEAR it's Regina King doing the narration. Just thought I'd share. . .

OMG!!! You REMEMBER Debbie with that big stick torturing those kids


..now as for Regina King and that Always Infinity pad

Who will be the "Leroy" character? Your link didn't work for me.

I was in awww as a little girl when I got to meet him at Howard Jonhson's in NYC. I was swooning, and giggling like a mofo! I think that ass of his is the very first I checked out. That body was insane!

Let me guess...Beyonce is being considered for the Irene Cara role

paintedlady said:

No doubt! I remember in the movie when he was 'sposed to be there to help his friend audition and he ended up stealing the show, Debbie was watchin' his young, tender ass dance and she was all Lawd, he was foine with a gorgeous smile!

RIP Ray-Ray

Remakes kinda scare me.

SCNDLS said:

Yea that's her. I put money on it. She's done a series of them if I'm not mistaken. The first time I heard that I was like Why in the hell?

Love her. She's sooooo down to Earth too.

That's it, that's IT!!! Why he remind of Prince right there???

'Gade screams "WHY, WHY???" loudly as he stabs his eyes out....wondering if a remake of "Saturday Night Fever" starring the cast of High School Musical isn't far behind....

can we get some damned originality out of Hollywood, please?

SCNDLS said:

Ummmm...cuz you've seen that pic of Prince in his gym shorts and suspenders?

Ottensen said:

Yeah, but fame was IRENE CARA!!!

SCNDLS said:

I absolutely love Debbie, but that 9th grade pincurls from the 80's does nothing for her. She needs longer bangs that frame her face better, and wear her hair straight.

SoulAlive said:

I hope so...I'd love to see her topless on the big screen. Irene Cara was a disappointment.

From what I've read, Frasier & Lilith will be in this movie too.

You are right.

Voiceover work for a national campaign is GOOD money, mama.That's the kind of gig that can pay for a year's college tuition depending on where her kids go to school
