Melissa McCarthy Visits Sesame Street, Puts on Her Dancing Shoes
Your favorite actress, Melissa McCarthy, loves to dance. She also loves Elmo, so much so, in fact, that she made a recent trip to Sesame Street, where the two explained to the viewing public the meaning of the word "choreographer." The "Bridesmaids" and "Identity Thief" starlet showed off her fancy footwork with the help of a penguin in a beret because sometimes, life is just that beautiful. Get More »

Mr. & Mrs. Anderson
Everyone loves a good wedding: free booze, awkward speeches and creepy DJs — what more could you want? All too often, however, the invites don't live up to the day.

So when film buffs throw calligraphy and caution to the wind and opt instead for movie-themed wedding invitations, it's time to celebrate. Get More »

Lionsgate Puts 'Dirty Dancing' Reboot in a Corner
Vestron Pictures
UPDATE: The time of your life will have to wait a little longer, as Lionsgate has postponed the "Dirty Dancing" reboot.
The new take on the 1987 classic starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey has been temporarily removed from the Hollywood dance card due to casting issues, according to Deadline. Kenny Wormald ("Footloose") had been mentioned last summer as a possible headliner for the new "Dirty Dancing," but apparently one remake of a dance-heavy '80s flick is enough for one resume.

Kenny Wormald to (Possibly) Headline 'Dirty Dancing' Reboot
Paramount
Kenny Wormald may not be a household name… yet. His biggest films to date include "Clerks II" (in which he simply plays a character called "Dancer") and "Center Stage: Turn It Up" (yeah, we never heard of that one either).
But that's all about to change when "Footloose" sashays onto screens on October 14—and Wormald, who plays leading man Ren MacCormick, is already being coined as "star material" by the powers that be.
Which is why this 27-year-old triple threat has reportedly been tapped to play Johnny Castle in the upcoming "Dirty Dancing" reboot. Get More »

GALLERY: People Were Planking in Movies Before There Was a Twitter
Tom Green can claim all he wants that he invented planking back in 1994. We all know the truth.
Obviously, it was Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze who kicked off the trend back in 1987 in "Dirty Dancing." And they weren't the only ones.
We've spotted planking in a number of recent movies from "The Smurfs" to "Green Lantern." Oh, and Edward Cullen? Yeah, he's been known to plank in a certain meadow here and there.
Look, we get that some of these characters may not have known what they were doing, but an accidental plank is still a plank, right?

Who Should Step Into Baby & Johnny's 'Dirty Dancing' Shoes?
Once you've come to terms with the idea that the "Dirty Dancing" remake is actually happening, the only logical step is to take a crack at casting the actors who will replace Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze and the rest of the original ensemble.
First consider a few facts: Swayze and Grey were playing 25-year-old Johnny and 18-year-old Baby, but they were actually 35 and 27, so we're not hung up on age here. Baby doesn't need to be a fabulous dancer, but Johnny and Penny do. Lastly, when it comes to the new cast, one thing's clear: they have epic shoes to fill, and we hope whomever lands the parts will do the original stars justice.
We've come up with some early picks for various roles, but now we want to hear from you. Sound off here in the comments or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
