What Band Should Star in the New Rock 'n' Roll High School?

In the 1979 film Rock 'n' Roll High School, the Ramones help a bunch of "rebellious students" thwart their "repressive, rock-music-hating principal." Now there's a remake coming, courtesy of none other than "shockjock" Howard Stern. Stern's other current movie project is an updated version of the raunchy 1982 comedy Porky's which, honestly, seems to make more sense for him than Rock 'n' Roll High School.

There aren't many details on the project yet, though we do know that Alex Winter, who played Bill to Keanu's Ted in their excellent adventures, will write the script.

Who do you think could replace the Ramones as the hip rock band that helps the kids? Brainstorm below.

Bill and Ted are Getting an Update

Dude.
The LA Times brings us the news that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is being remade for a straight-to-DVD release.

It's a joke, right?
Nope. Writers Gabe Grifoni and Suzanne Francis already have an outline for the script. Original creators Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson weren't asked to participate, but they said they wish Bill and Ted well.

What about Keanu?
From the sounds of things, this is going to be a straight-up remake, not a sequel focusing on the guys in their 40s (which, frankly, could have been pretty funny). So it looks like Keanu and Alex Winter are off the hook. But who else could play Bill and Ted?

Could it possibly be excellent?
I'm pretty worried about this one, guys. After all the outcry over the Footloose remake yesterday, I simply can't wait to see what you have to say about this.

Modern Family's Ariel Winter Offers Up Green Earth Day Tips For Kids

Rebecca M Gruber — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:15:04 PDT

Ahoy mate! Fans of Disney Junior's new Jake and the Neverland Pirates know that Captain Hook and Smitty are often up to no good, and this week is no different. On Earth Day (April 22), the animated series is offering up a show designed to teach tots about our endangered coral reefs, featuring a frequent guest voice on the show, Ariel Winter (better known as Alex Dunphy on our favorite parenting show – Modern Family).

I spoke with the teen star about her involvement in the episode and she offered up some tips for introducing kids to environmental awareness. See what she had to say!

LilSugar: Tell me a little bit about Marina and what is happening to her character on the Earth Day episode of Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Ariel Winter: I voice Marina the Mermaid. She’s the cheerful and bright fishtailed mermaid in Mermaid Lagoon. Our Earth Day episode is titled "Save the Coral Cove" and it’s where Jake and the crew save Marina the Mermaid and Sandy the Starfish’s underwater habitat when it’s threatened by Captain Hook – he’s searching for sunken treasure in the Coral Cove.

LS: Was it your idea to involve your character in an Earth Day story, or Disney’s?
AW: It was all mutual. We all said we need an Earth Day episode so kids can learn they need to be green and help the environment. I think it’s really cool that I get to be part of the Jake and the Neverland Pirates Earth Day episode.

LS: What’s it like voicing a mermaid? I take it you didn’t do much research in the water!
AW: It’s funny. I’m Ariel and everyone always thinks I’m named after the mermaid. It’s pretty cool to voice a mermaid because when you see her on the screen she’s so adorable and she’s got like the big blue eyes and the big fishy-tail. It’s just so cool because she’s just got an amazing aura and she just wants to help and she’s always there for Jake and the crew. I didn’t do a lot of underwater training through!
