We guess these screen tests went well, as “Dancing with the Stars” pro dancer and country singer Julianne Hough has now landed the lead female role in Paramount’s remake of Footloose. The casting is contingent on the studio and Hough working out scheduling, but she would star opposite Chace Crawford.

Filming is set to begin in March with plans for a “more mature version” than the original, says Variety. Dylan Sellers is producing alongside Ortega, Craig Zadan — a producer of the original film — and Neil Meron.

Before everyone has a laugh about a “more mature version” of “Footloose” from the director of the “High School Musical” movies, know that Kenny Ortega has directed tons of TV shows, including many episodes of “Gilmore Girls,” and he also directed “Newsies” and “Hocus Pocus.” In addition to that, he’s been choreographing for years, and one of his biggest credits is the original “Dirty Dancing.” Hopefully he can make Chace look good dancing and singing.

These days, Megan Fox’s career is nearly as hot as… well… she is. At the same time, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more desired screenwriter in Hollywood than the Oscar-winning lady behind “Juno,” Diablo Cody. Factor in demon possession, girl-on-girl brawling and Fox in a cheerleading costume, and you can see why “Jennifer’s Body” is looking mighty good.

“I just did ADR on it,” Fox said of the late-stage voiceover work that that marked the end of her role in the film as it enters post-production for a September release. “There’s this scene in a kitchen. I can’t reveal too much — but it’s the first time you see me cross over from human to whatever this weird thing is that I’ve become. I actually truly frightened myself — which I’m excited about.”

The flick features Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody and others in the slickly written, tongue-in-cheek sophomore effort from Cody. It follows a possessed cheerleader who begins using her sensuality to lure –- and kill — her male classmates.

“I’m a man-eater. I eat boys,” the “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” star said, grinning. “I’m sort of a zombie, but not really. I get improperly sacrificed [and it possesses me]… my character is a frighteningly vapid high school girl who’s captain of her flag team.”

“She gets improperly sacrificed by Adam Brody’s band, who have sold their souls to Satan in order to get a record deal,” Fox laughed. “And what happens when you improperly sacrifice someone is the victim gets taken over by a demon. They thought I was a virgin — and I was not a virgin.”

“So, I get taken over by a demon,” Fox continued. “And in order to maintain the state of the undead, I have to feast on human flesh. And so, I start eating boys.”

As anyone who’s seen “Juno” will remember, Cody’s style is as highly stylized as it is intricately hip. And so, Fox said that all the actors on set were careful to keep their improv tendencies to a bare minimum.

“That was actually something that was hard about making that movie,” Fox revealed. “Because it was Diablo — and because she just won an Oscar — we were not allowed to deviate from the script. Not even a single word.”

In this day and age of Judd Apatow, Christopher Guest and other ad-lib-loving filmmakers, such script fidelity has become rare. “It was really hard coming off of ‘Transformers,’ because everything is improvised — we don’t stick to the script almost at all,” Fox said of Michael Bay’s giant robot films. “So that was difficult. [Cody] definitely has a very specific way of speaking and of writing. But I feel like I tackled it okay.”

Which are you most excited to see: Another film from Diablo Cody, Megan Fox as a cheerleader, or a demon/zombie tongue-in-cheek teenager flick?

Steve Jobs Had Liver Transplant; Returning to Work in Days

In a piece of good news for Apple fans, Steve Jobs is still expected to return to work by the end of this month, albeit on a part time basis. The WSJ reports that Jobs was perhaps sicker than many imagined: he underwent a liver transplant in Tennessee in the spring, perhaps related to his previous pancreatic cancer:

Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave from Apple Inc. since January to treat an undisclosed medical condition, received a liver transplant in Tennessee about two months ago. The chief executive has been recovering well and is expected to return to work on schedule later this month, though he may work part-time initially.

Mr. Jobs didn’t respond to an email requesting comment. “Steve continues to look forward to returning at the end of June, and there’s nothing further to say,” said Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton.

There’s room for skepticism, however: Apple has remained quiet on the issue for months, insisting that Job’s health is his own concern. And yet such information has a significant effect on Apple’s stock price, creating an incentive to keep the details private: Apple’s investors would likely have become skittish if they’d known about Job’s surgery at the time.

As always with this saga, we’ll only know for sure when we see Steve Jobs back at work.

Well, that’s good. I’m such an Apple whore. I would’ve been really sad if Mr. Jobs didn’t return

Edit: Maybe I should come out with that i’m a new Apple whore and only got my macbook after being with a PC for years. I can now faithfully say it’s true, once you go mac you never go back.

Time travel, making out at the mall, werewolves, rock operas and a German lady. It’s not the recipe to the greatest teenage, sci-fi horror movie ever made; it’s .357 Lover. Deftly weaving majestic tales of wonder with a Rock ‘n Roll vaudeville act, this band creates an incomparable sound described by frontman Corn Mo as “Guns ‘N Roses meets Queen meets show tunes meets Tiny Tim.”

Thousands have already been exposed to Corn Mo from tours with They Might Be Giants, Ben Folds and Polyphonic Spree. Television appearances include Jimmy Kimmel Live, Total Request Live, and the 24-hour Human Giant marathon on MTV. He recorded a cover of "Get Your Hands Off My Woman" with Ben Folds. With TMBG he played accordion versus John Linnell on a live recording of TMBG’s "Particle Man" which was called "Particle Mo". He has performed at SXSW, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Bumbershoot, Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe and Lebowski Fest. In 2007, .357 Lover opened for Ben Folds, played with Andrew W.K. and backed John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch). In 2008, they toured to Austin for SXSW and back. Afterwards, Corn Mo went alone to Europe to support Ben Folds, sitting in with him at the Glastonbury Festival. In 2009, the Lover ambitiously created Alice Wakeman: A Rock Opera and performed it in its entirety at the Ars Nova Theatre in NYC.

Corn Mo has released two solo albums, the debut from 2000, I Hope You Win and The Magic is You in 2002.

In 2007 Corn Mo released his first full band effort with the .357 Lover, an EP titled Your Favorite Hamburger is a Cheeseburger. “The EP is an inoculation for the LP, but it’s so derivative you may already be immune,” explains Corn Mo, “that is, until you realize you’ve been raptured by a lovely day that you cannot shake. It’s like a zombie trying to cash a paycheck. It’s not going to matter. The true joy is that everyday is Halloween forever.” The EP will be followed by a full length album, Diorama of the Golden Lion, slated for a 2009 release.

Influenced by Queen, Cheap Trick, Sparks, Tiny Tim and David Lee Roth, Corn Mo originally formed the .357 Lover in Denton, TX. Heeding the call of the road, he left Texas to tour with a sideshow circus called the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. After many thrills and spills, including an incident involving a bed of nails, a magician and a wager, Corn Mo arrived in Brooklyn, NYC to continue on his destined path toward superstardom. He surrounded himself with a friend from Denton, bassist Dave Wallin, guitarists Brad Williams and John Caselli, and drummer Ron Salvo to create the definitive lineup of the .357 Lover.

The .357 Lover live show is a portal to great music past and future. From the jovial rag, “Thank You”, to the thunderous anthem, “Time Cop”, the band creates an atmosphere of excitement, absurdity and good times. Corn Mo describes the live show as “a powerhouse. It’s a one-man show multiplied five times. It’s like an Octopus-Lion. It looks as if the roar can live without the tentacles and ability to change color. But it can’t.” The NY Press expounded, "By the time he was through, I had no idea if Corn Mo was a comic hack, a real retard or a true genius. And I’m still not sure, which gives even more credence to that genius theory."

Shy and retiring Oasis singer Liam Gallagher has dished out a rare opinion on another artist.

Gallagher slammed Welsh-warbler Duffy and claimed she was a part of the "musical landscape".

"Duffy,she was alright till she opened her mouth", he said. "The music’s alright, know what I mean, till she done that fucking stupid advert and things like that. It’s fucking ridiculous."

Noel added: "Good luck to her, she’s a nice girl but you just feel like it’s been invented.

"It’s like they’ve said, ‘Amy Winehouse, she’s got a black beehive, we’ll do a blonde one. That’s the problem with the musical landscape, everyone’s got clipboards."
