My esteemed friend Mr. Mosey has called for a return of the days when many of my weblog posts would just be pointers to Salon articles. Well, Mosey, your wish is my command: Amy Reiter reports (scroll down a ways) that Lance Bass is interested in making “Grease 3” with his ‘N Sync bandmate Justin Timberlake’s girlfriend, Britney Something-or-Other, playing the role of Sandy and his band as the T-Birds.
Oh my sweet lord. If we didn’t have enough evidence of the need to torch the whole culture and start again, now we do. (At least my search engine hits will be getting a little goose from this post. Damn that Osama Bin Laden, anyway.)
Man, you are easy to sway…
Howsabout Grease 55: Rip Taylor as Danny, Bea Arthur as Sandy, Estelle Getty as Rizzo and Charo as Cha Cha? the Sunshine Boys could play the T-Birds (all dead I think) and the remaining cast of Golden Girls and Designing Women could be the Pink Ladies.
