Actors that Turned Down Iconic Roles – Part Three

Okay, I promise I will stop after this one! I just find it fascinating to think of certain actors in certain roles: John Cusack as John Bender in The Breakfast Club? No doubt that Judd Nelson was perfect in this role, but how would John Cusack have faired? It certainly didn’t hurt his career to miss this role. Judd Nelson on the other hand… Bruce Willis as Sam Wheat in Ghost? Yep, apparently this one was given to Bruce Willis to read first, but he thought playing a ghost would be bad for his career. Wait, didn’t he play a … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Mysteries Solved

Granted, I don’t know all the details of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s divorce, but I can’t help but wonder what the actress thinks about the current state of her ex-husband’s life.

The Return of the Heavyweights

I was at the mall the other day when I saw a girl with her shirt off one shoulder, a miniskirt and leggings. I looked at my husband and asked him if the 80s were back. Apparently, they are!
