A Nail In the Coffin for Dirty Dancing....

Since hearing the awful news of a 'dirty Dancing' remake I have become even more bitter and twisted.  Time has not helped me come to terms with this travesty and Jennifer Grey is NOT HELPING.  I was relying on her to be a voice of sense but she has let me down... 



Jennifer, who as we all know, starred as Baby Houseman in the 1987 film, assured fans that she was fine with the upcoming remake of the film!!! Is she serious?
She told the Wall Street Journal through her publicist: "I'm so excited about this news and I think there's nobody better than my beloved Kenny Ortega who is as responsible as anyone for the success of the first one. I can't wait to see what he's going to do with it."  Oh Jennifer - if you say so... but I'm still not convinced.

more 500 days

Did anyone else happen to notice the other 'dirty dancing' connection to this film??? Apart from the 'she's like the wind' reference, Clark Gregg, who played Vance Tom's boss at the greeting card company, is married to Jennifer Grey, who starred with Patrick Swayze in 'Dirty Dancing'.

Some of you may think this is kind of weird that I think this is a cool fact to note, but these are the things that keep my blood pumping!!!!!

jennifer grey - revisited

Well, no, I did not imagine seeing Jennifer Grey at the Oscars. It was really her!

Further investigation reveals,that she attended with her father, Joel Grey, a previous oscar winner. He won a best supporting actor award in 1973 for his work in CABARET and was there, with 4 other previous winners, to present the best supporting actor award, which of course was won by our lovely friend Heath.

Jen, best known for her roles in DIRTY DANCING and as the sister in FERRIS BUELLER, she disastrously, at the height of her career, decided to have a nose job, which changed her appearance so dramatically that the work just completely dried up.

In my opinion, her best role since this time was in a tv comedy called 'It's like you know", an hilarious look at living life in LA, in which Jennifer actually played herself and made fun of the nose job often. It was on pay tv for a while, but definitely worth a look if you like that sort of thing!

This lady is now married to an actor called Clark Gregg, probably best known as the ex husband in "the new adventures of old christine' and as the cheating husband in 'In the land of women'

She has however also been engaged to Matthew Broderick, and the one that got away, Johnny Depp. We have to love her just for that, don't we????

One of her best friends is Tracey Pollan, Micheal J fox''s wife, they went to school together!

So, anyway, just thought that the gorgeous memory J brought us deserved an update. Hope you enjoyed!!!!

Lip-Synching in the 80's

This is one of my all time favourite scenes in a movie and it fits perfectly with k's Top 10 this week. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey singing to Mickey and Sylvia in Dirty Dancing.

Watching this makes me sad too as the wonderful and talented Mr Swayze is not doing too well and I'm afraid we won't have him for much longer.
