Tough Times!

youngfrankenstein.jpg

To keep the show Young Frankenstein on the Great White Way, creator Mel Brooks and billionaire producer Robert F. X. Sillerman have taken the very unorthodox step of asking the show's lead actor to slash their salaries by 50%, according to new reports.

How rude!

The actors, whose contracts are up in August, were told last week that if they want to stay on they need to accept the cut.

To show they're serious the show suits openly met with possible replacements.

Producers not involved in Young Frankenstein call the drastic salary cuts unprecedented.

The actors and their agents are understandably upset about the pay cuts, but unless they get a TV series, they're unlikely to find a job as lucrative as Young Frankenstein–even at half their original salaries.

Decisions! Decision!

Quote of the Day

terrence_howard_25872t.jpg

"Tough thing about Broadway is eight shows a week. It's slavery. That needs to be adjusted. It's wrong. Actors work three years straight sometimes with one day off. This exhaustion puts you into depression. Like today [Wednesday] it's two shows. I have to put makeup on, take makeup off. Not like in movies with whole departments to fluff and puff you. In between performances, I have to study with my son, who's taking Bible and guitar. And we're filming this play for the archives. Come 7:30, I have to take another look at the script, get into the mind-set again, then sign autographs, pose for photos with fans and thank them for their attention and for coming. Monday, your one day off, you have to cram in all your meetings and appointments and the rest of your whole life, and hope you can survive on Benadryl. I love what I'm doing. No cameraman's saying, 'Stand here . . . look there.' It's not all done in five-minute takes. Your work has to be inside you. You push beyond your comfort zone. Broadway is an actor's revenge. I couldn't do Broadway again if it's more than five a week. I'd just say no. N-O. Not doing it. I'm not saying it has to be my way. I'm saying they can get somebody else. I always listen. If your point is right, then I will make adjustments. It's not arrogance. It's just that I have to live with me the rest of my life."

- Idiot Terrence Howard, currently starring on Broadway in Cat on a Hot Tin Rood

Diversifying

melbaby__opt1.jpg

Spice Girls Mel "Scary" B. and Emma "Baby" Bunton have been bitten by the acting bug.

Scary told a reporter at the Glamour magazine Women of the Year awards in London on Wednesday that she's been offered a part in Legally Blonde on Broadway.

So fun!

Mel's a little old to play a college girl, so we're assuming we'll see her as the beauty salon worker Elle befriends.

She also revealed that she's working on a sitcom AND planning to launch her clothing line on Project Runway.

Busy, busy!

Baby Spice told the media at the London event, "I'm really looking forward to doing some acting – a TV drama, maybe something a bit gritty."

Wouldn't it be interesting to see Baby all broody and cracked out?

Good luck with the acting, ladies.

We've seen Spice World…get yourselves a good coach!

Legally Blonde show - fake like The Hills!

In the promo clip (above) for the MTV reality competition show Legally Blonde: Search For the New Elle Woods, host Haylie Duff proclaims, "None of you (contestants) have ever been on Broadway and at the end of this competition one of you will be starring on Broadway."

However, a Perezcious reader has pointed out to us that two of the contestants HAVE appeared on Broadway!

In fact, the two gals — Emma and Celina — mention their Broadway creds in their bios that appear on MTV's Legally Blonde website.

Looks to us like MTV needs to watch its accuracy!
