Hairspray

WE’RE LOOKING AT NICK JONAS DIFFERENTLY NOW

Nick Jonas has a new fan. We never thought we’d be confessing this, but we were blown away by his polished performance in “Hairspray” at the Hollywood Bowl last weekend. The cast was more than impressive – Harvey Fierstein, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Corbin Bleu, Drew Carey, Darlene Love, etc. The sets were minimal, but incredibly, the actors managed to fill the enormous stage. Nick played the Link Larkin teen idol role – not only did he outdance the pros in the chorus, but his voice filled the enormous stadium. When he kissed Tracy Turnblad, the crowd went wild. He was adorable and has a great future on Broadway.

ZAC EFRON AND MICHELLE PFEIFFER: TOGETHER AGAIN

Zac Efron, 23, and his “Hairspray” costar Michelle Pfeiffer, 52, are reunited in their currently filming movie “New Year’s Eve.” It’s about a group of single people and couples in New York whose lives intersect on New Years Eve. (The same idea as last year’s “Valentines Day” except it doesn’t take place in LA and has mostly a different ensemble cast.) Zac plays a delivery guy with a Vespa who takes Michelle for a ride.
