HAIRSPRAY 2?!?!?

Just watched Hairspray on my new Hi-Def flat screen, and thought I'd see what Nikki Blonsky and the rest of the cast were up to since the film came out. Upon searching, I came across "Hairspray 2". I was like, "What?!?!" You couldn't possibly do a sequel to a sequel of a sequel. Could you?

So here's what they plan to do in the 2:

1. John Waters has written a crazy treatment for the sequel called Hairspray 2: White Lipstick.
Gotta love John Waters. He's the King of Kitsch. Did you see him as the streaker in the movie?

2. Hairspray director/choreographer Adam Shankman and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are also set to return.
Boo.

3. The story will look at Tracy’s entering the late ’60s era of music, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the British invasion. “We’re trying to track, in a comedic way, the historical elements,” Shankman told EW.
All right, now! Maybe a mentioning of Jim Morrison wouldn't be too much to ask...

4. Tracy (Nikki Blonsky) is hated because she’s now famous but doesn’t lose weight.
My problem exactly.

5. Link (Zak Efron) gets a mop-top Beatles hairdo and tries to masquerade himself as a member of the British Invasion in an attempt to remain hip. The hair causes three pimples to spawn on his forehead, which he has “an ongoing dialogue” throughout half the movie. He also somehow accidentally experiments with acid. Shankman later said that Link’s drug storyline probably won’t make it into the final film.
Zacquisha? Pimples? Oh no no. Acid. Hell yea!

6. Edna (John Travolta) gets hooked on diet pills, actually loses weight, but sees her husband (Christopher Walken) lusting after fat women. Shankman told MTV, “she finally breaks down and runs over to a snack table. Just within one number, she gets fat again; gaining 20 pounds at a time. [Her fat] pops out, and by the end of the song she’s completely at her old weight again.”
We want Danny Zuko! We want Danny Zuko!

7. Velma Von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer) will likely not appear in the sequel due to the introduction of a new villain.
Too busy shooting Stardust 2: the Stinkuel

8. Someone gets drafted into war, but it isn’t Link.
Gut feeling: Seaweed. He won't die, though. He'll get the purple heart, come back and marry Penny.

9. New Line/Warner Bros has yet to official announce any actors/actresses for the sequel, but they have said that they hope to keep most of the original cast.
Well we can only hope! Damn!

10. The film is tentatively scheduled to hit theaters in mid-July 2010.
Wahoo!
