If you were thinking that a reality TV mash-up of NBC’s Smash and Disney’s High School Musical would be great … you have odd, specific taste in entertainment. Dina Lohan apparently agrees with you, though. For reasons unknown, someone signed her to produce an unsold documentary series along those very lines. Lohan’s new project promises to chronicle the real-life journey of launching a Broadway musical from “page to stage,” as well as all the behind-the-scenes drama. “There is nothing more important to me than a parent standing behind their child and helping them fulfill their dreams,” Dina told Celebuzz , apparently without irony. Production for the series begins soon and will run through the summer. It will take the audience “behind the scenes of The White Plains (N.Y.) Performing Arts Center’s theatre company,” with producers promising to take the audience “on a roller coaster adventure.” We absolutely can not wait. In other family news, Ali Lohan’s too thin and Lindsay is being sued for stiffing a tanning salon out of $40,000. The number of zeroes there is correct. [Photo: WENN.com]
If Catherine Hardwicke had her way, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart might never have gotten together. For real! While it’s nearly impossible now to imagine R. Patt without his K. Stew – just watch this adorable video of Robsten cuddling and kissing ! – the Twilight director tells Elle Magazine that she noticed chemistry right away between the potential co-stars… and feared its consequences. “Rob and Kristen sat down at the table and did the biology scene,” Hardwicke said of Pattinson’s audition. “I felt the sparks. I could see the attraction. Kristen was very vocal – she knew she had the strongest connection with Rob. I said, ‘Let me have a day to see if it translates to the screen.'” We all know it did, of course. But Robert was 21 at the time and Kristen only 17, which led Hardwicke to warn her handsome leading man: ‘She’s underage, don’t even think about it! It’s a law in our country.'” Fortunately, Pattinson and Stewart evaded the police until the latter turned 18 and have been happily dating ever since.
