The Traditional Beheading of an Incongruous 80s Rocker at the Tonys
Hey, Broadway's not for everyone. You'd probably get a little bewitched, bothered and bewildered if this happened to you.

Girls Just Want to be Left Alone!
It's official: Fox Studios is remaking the 1985 classic dance film Girls Just Want to Have Fun, which featured Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt and Shannon Doherty. And Miley Cyrus is set to star. Ew yuck NO, I say!
I adored this movie growing up. (And totally still do) It is an amazingly ridiculous and ridiculously amazingly homage to the eighties and a contemporary version would hurt my heart to its very core. Just watch the First scene. How could Miley ever begin to illicit such love? And then take a look at the most awesomest grande finale one could ask for.
Even if Helen Hunt, SJP and 12 year old Shannon Doherty were replaceable (which they are so NOT), how could anyone attempt to replicate, or worse- replace, this delightful confection of 80s goodness! Yes, that is what GJWTHF is all about: 80s goodness. And no contemporizing or Miley-izing will ever come close to the brilliance of DANCE TV! (Circa 1985)
But, in case that wasn't argument enough for you, just watch Miley performing the the title track . Ew, yuck, NO!
This post is dedicated to my best friend and cultural savant, Elliot.
