NPH Entertains an Exuberant Crowd at the Tonys

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:30:42 PDT

Neil Patrick Harris donned a shiny tux and a big smile, hosting the Tony Awards last night at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Broadway veteran John Stamos and newcomer Anne Hathaway were among the stars who stepped out to present awards. Dolly Parton, Stockard Channing and Elton John took the stage, as well as Bret Michaels who injured himself during the big opening number. Liza Minnelli beat out Will Ferrell's George Bush impersonation for Best Special Theatrical Event - see all the winners here - but Will didn't seem to mind as he and the rest of the audience enjoyed a night filled with music and laughter.

The Results Are In: Recast Grease!

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

When recasting these iconic movies, it's so hard to find actors who could live up to the roles made classic by the original performers, but all of you who submitted lists did well to retain the spirit of Grease with your picks! I thought the much-suggested idea of putting Zooey Deschanel in the role of Rizzo was super fun. Christina Ricci would make an excellent Rizzo as well because, as CaterpillarGirl says of her idea, she is the bad girl.

I also loved a lot of the names put forth for Danny, like prbeachbum's James Franco, Wilmer Valderrama as suggested by alynn, and legaeagle's idea to use James Marsden. Finally, many of the ideas for Principal McGee were fantastic, and I especially liked roseannadanna's pick of Allison Janney, along with the ultimate musical dame Julie Andrews, as suggested by Atatakai Sunshine.

Overall, however, this week I most enjoyed Arienne's recast list! To see who Arienne picked, along with a new cast photo,

Recast Grease and Win a Prize!

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

This summer we have one beloved film-turned-musical-turned-remade-film, Hairspray, and recently heard news about another in the works: Footloose. Following along that theme (and using another of your suggestions), let's just say Grease were being remade and needed present-day actors (and let's face it, it's only a matter of time).

Who would you cast in those roles? You don't need to know if the actors can actually sing, just if they seem right for the roles. And please no reality show contestants from "You're the One That I Want"!
Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, July 24, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt,

The Results Are In: Recast Steel Magnolias

BuzzSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:45:06 PST

For last week's Recast challenge, I had BuzzSugar readers pursue a perfect new cast for the irresistible Southern chick-flick, Steel Magnolias. In my opinion, this was one of the toughest Recasts to date, so I was astounded by how many great submissions came in.

I loved RCLdesigngirl's choice of Amy Adams to play Shelby, and her casting of Meryl Streep as Clairee was echoed by several other users, including Erinnoelle and lslybnks. But the best overall Recast came from Pinkrabbit, who really nailed every role, particularly Stockard Channing as M'Lynn. Congrats, Pinkrabbit! Here are her picks.

M'Lynn - Stockard Channing
Shelby - Reese Witherspoon
Truvy - Ashley Judd
Ouiser - Carrie Fisher
Annelle - Liv Tyler
Clairee - Catherine O'Hara
