Did you guys hear? The screen musical is back! Well, at least according to Hugh Jackman, who kicked off his Oscar ceremony musical medley on Sunday by talking about the box office success of Mamma Mia!.

Back in high school I used so much Rave and Salon Selectives hair spray, I am still rather concerned about my lungs — and the ozone, for that matter. I have to admit, although the packaging and formulation are different now, my thanks go out to Barbiesugar for taking me on a drip down memory lane with her review of Suave 4x Mega Rave Hairspray, Scented ($2.89). Although it wasn't a "rave review," here's what she thought:
"I bought this product right before a wedding in Chicago.

With the latest catwalk and celebrity trend being big, retro hairstyles it's no wonder that the humble hairspray is making a comeback. If you want to create a mussed up, piled high effect like Diana Vickers' on the X Factor recently, then the sticky stuff is a must. I have to admit though that I hate that icky, dried-out feel that most sprays give.

Regardless of the haircare sponsor of any show during Fashion Week, stylists pack L'Oreal Elnett hairspray in their bags like contraband. Which it is: The stuff has been banned in the US since 1987 due to the use of ozone-damaging flourocarbon propellants. Until now, that is.

About a month ago, Oscar Blandi launched a brand-new medium hold aerosol hairspray called Lacca ($23). What sets this styling product apart from the crowd is the scent, the ingredients and its anti-static properties. Not only can you use this to keep your hair in place, it can also double as a static guard (a little trick for ya).

Truth be told, I haven't been into hairspray since the days when Firehouse and other lousy rock bands promoted the big-hair look. Truthfully, I wasn't into the music, but I wanted to fit in with the popular girls. So every morning, I'd break out Mom's curling iron, twist my bangs into a crisp claw of curls, and look like a fool despite my best efforts.

As the weather warms, you'll start allowing your toesies to breathe with open-toe footwear such as this Gucci Alison High Heel Platform Slide ($675). The problem with high-heeled mules and warm weather? You guessed it: sweaty feet.

Only metres away from last night Empire Awards, were theatre's Olivier Awards, at Grosvenor House. As you can imagine there was a lot of intermingling, and you'll spot some of those familiar from the film awards posts amongst the theatre darlings. It feels like yesterday we announced the Hairspray-dominated nominees!

I know I shouldn't be surprised that Daniel Radcliffe is an adult male, but I think his role as Harry Potter had solidified him in my mind as a boy wizard. What with his nudity in Equus and his new chiseled-jaw appearance, however, I'm going to have to admit that Dan is in fact a man. And this man has just won two awards at the Theatregoers' Choice ceremony, which took place at the Lyric Theatre in London yesterday.

Do you feel that, too? That giant hole in your Wednesday and Thursday nights that used to be filled with glorious dance (and Nigel Lythgoe)? It's just one week since the finale, and I'm already suffering withdrawal from So You Think You Can Dance.
