JAMES MCAVOY TO PLAY ELTON JOHN IN A MUSICAL BIOPIC! KATHERINE MCPHEE IN NBC'S NEW MUSICAL SHOW "SMASH". JESSE METCALFE & JOSH HENDERSON AS MAIN HUNKS IN NEW "DALLAS"

You've probably already heard that sir Elton John is planning to make a film about his life, and since his life was quite crazy and wild, the biopic will actually be a surreal musical similar to the famous MOULIN ROUGE  movie. And since the producers are hunting for an actor who knows how to act and sing, Elton has admitted that they have offered the title role to no one else but James McAvoy! I kinda love the idea of McAvoy doing what Ewan McGregor did in MOULIN ROUGE!

You already know that, after the success of GLEE, NBC is now preparing their own musical TV show, which will be called SMASH and will follow a set of characters who come together to mount a Broadway musical inspired by the silver screen icon Marylin Monroe. The lead actress in the
cast will be gorgeous Katharine McPhee, the singer and AMERICAN IDOL star, who will play a beautiful struggling actress who tries to get the role of Marylin. Produced by Stephen Spielberg, SMASH will also have Debra Messing (WILL AND GRACE) playing a coreographer, and Jack Davenport (COUPLING) as a lyricist.

HOLLYWOOD SPY has informed you recently that the famous DALLAS soap will continue soon over at TNT, and that some of the original cast member will be returning almost twenty years after the series finale: Larry Hagman will play evil JR again, Linda Gray will again be his wife Sue Ellen while Patrick Duffy will play Bobby Ewing in the new show. I've also told you that young Jordana Brewster will play the girl
stuck in a love triangle between JR's and Bobby's sons, and according to latest news the two sons, the main stars of the new show, will be played by two megahunks - Josh Henderson and Jesse  Metcalfe (both from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES). I'm
already sold :)

The upcoming fantasy horror ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER has added a new female member to its cast. Gorgeous Australian actress Robin McLeavy will join Benjamin Walker (as Lincoln) and Dominic Cooper (As his mentor in vampire slaying) in the role of Mary Todd, Lincoln's wife, in the story of the American president who, in his free time, hunts down and kills vampires, while Mary stays at home to take care of the family. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, the film should arrive to cinemas summer 2012.
