The new leading man of the Footloose remake, Chace Crawford, might have a new leading lady in his life!

According to reports, the hot young star is getting close to supermodel Esti Ginzburg. A witness at a party on Sunday saw Esti texting Chace all night long and left the party to go meet up with him. That "witness" is probably Esti herself - or her publicist!

The pair are slated to star in the adaptation of Nick McDonell's book Twelve.

Eh, we don't think she is pretty enough for him. Yes, she is a super model, but look at HIM!

There has been a lot of speculation and rumor about who will be cast as in the remake of Footloose after Zac Efron, who was attached to star in the movie, dropped out. Well, ponder no more, at least about the leading man!

Pararmount, which is producing the movie, confirms exclusively to PerezHilton.com that it will be none other then Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford!!!

Crawford will be reprising Kevin Bacon's famous role of Ren and Kenny Ortega, the man behind all the High School Musical films, will be directing!

Good choice people! We approve!

But what of the leading lady?

Well, Kenny Ortega may be dipping back into the Disney tween pool for that.

New reports claim that Miley Cyrus is the latest little lady to be considered for the part. That puts her in the running with starlets like Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes and Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough.

Now that we know who's the star, who would U like to see as his love interest?

Every year, the President hosts the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, and this year, President Obama is going to be surrounded by some big-name celebrities.

Expected to attend are Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria, John Cusack and some of the fresh, hot faces from Gossip Girl.

Slated to attend are Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr. Crawford, who is a Democrat, was invited to the event by Fox News and he hopes this will mean a meet and greet with Bill O'Reilly so the two can talk "about his pro-Obama beliefs."

Now, we wish we were going.

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere may be dancing beside Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford in the upcoming remake of the 80's classic Footloose!

Word is Panettiere flexed her vocal pipes for the filmmakers and managed to wow them with her singing!

"No one realized what a good singer she is," an inside source said of Hayden's audition for the role of Ariel Moore.

Panettiere is up against Dancing With The Stars Julianne Hough for the lead, but if Hayden nails the dancing callback and read-through with Chace, we assume she'll land the part!

Speaking of Crawford, although he has not been officially named as playing Ren McCormack in the musical flick, according to sources it's "pretty much a done deal."

Could Chace and Hayden re-create the same movie magic Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer did the first time around??

Is this bromance over?

According to reports, Gossip Girl hotties Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick are sick of each other.

Well, sick of living with each other at least.

The co-stars and roommates currently share an apartment in New York City. But it seems Chace wants to live solo.

And just what is he looking for?

Apparently, he wants to live "downtown, in a secure building with a doorman."

A source adds that "Chace wants to move out to a bachelor pad. He wants privacy and has told his agent to spare no expense in finding the perfect loft."

Wonder if the two boys had a little argument over something?

As we previously mentioned, Zac Efron pulled out of the Footloose remake in order to take on more "serious" roles.

Zacquisha's loss is another famewhore's gain!

And, last month, we told you that Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford was said to be screen testing for the role.

Well, surprisingly it seems he might get the part! That is, if his GG schedule allows him.

According to reports, the negotiations are in the final stages, but the only thing stopping them is the shooting schedule, and Gossip Girl seems to be getting in the way!

A source reveals that "There's a big overlap of when he'd have to shoot Footloose and the next season of Gossip Girl."

And since the heads at GG haven't been able to accommodate Crawford's schedule, "Chace may be hiring a big-league attorney to come in and figure out how to make it work."

Work it out, bitches!

Chace Crawford, 50 Cent and Emma Roberts have all signed on to act in the upcoming Joel Schumacher film, Twelve!

The film, adapted from the Nick McDonell novel of the same name, will follow the story of a "high school dropout-turned drug dealer… [whose] lucrative life sours when the dealer's cousin is brutally murdered on an East Harlem playground and his best friend is arrested for the crime."

Sounds intriguing!

The film which, also stars 24's Kiefer Sutherland and Emmy award-winning actress Ellen Barkin, will begin shooting later this month in New York.

P.S. Do y'all really wanna see Fiddy act???

We'd rather watch Chyna in another sex tape! Speaking of, that's coming….soon!

He wishes!

Chace Crawford is scrounging for Zac Efron's sloppy seconds. The Gossip Girl hottie reportedly screen tested for the remake of Footloose this weekend!

Crawford auditioned for Kevin Bacon's role in the remake, which was originally nabbed by our beloved Zacquisha before Efron dropped out because he wanted to take on more "serious" roles.

Although Crawford is known more for bringing the dramz on GG and less for his singing and dancing talents, sources have spilled that Chase "did really well" during his screen test!

Crawford starring in Footloose?

We want Zac back!!
