OMG. Matthew Broderick is finally reprising his career-defining role of Ferris Bueller. That’s the good news. The bad? It’s only for a Super Bowl commercial. The sequel to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has been rumored for years, and will likely never happen. Which is probably for the best, as it could never be topped. Perhaps a 30- or 60-second Super Bowl ad – for what, we have no idea, but a teaser for the spot appears below – is the perfect dose of Bueller in 2012. Check out a gray-haired Matthew reenacting a famous scene below: Matthew Broderick Ferris Bueller Ad Tease We don’t know what’s funnier, seeing Broderick as a middle-aged version of Ferris, or that we live in an age where Super Bowl commercials have their own trailers.

Abby Lee Miller says O’Donnell wants to play her in a movie. By Jim Cantiello Abby Lee Miller of “Dance Moms” Photo: MTV News Early TV ratings show Tuesday night’s “Dance Moms” season-two premiere scored 2.5 million viewers — a series high — so it’s no wonder that the star of the show, dance instructor Abby Lee Miller, has a difficult time going incognito in public. “The kids notice me first,” Miller told MTV News about her newfound fame. ” ‘Mom! That’s the lady from “Dance Moms!” ‘ ” However, Abby said some fans are more eager to give her a piece of their mind than request an autograph. “Just three days ago, I was having a rare dinner with a friend, and this lady walked right up to our table and started yelling at me because I’m mean to [‘Dance Moms’ co-star] Holly. ‘Holly is not some ghetto girl! Holly is very well-educated!’And she went on and on and on and on and on. And the restaurant called the police! She was interrupting the whole restaurant,” Miller recalled. “Then I immediately called Holly to tell her. In retrospect, it was funny.” While Miller is able to brush the dirt off her shoulders (“It’s reality television! It’s fun! It’s entertainment!”), the dance instructor with decades of experience is still having a difficult time adjusting to being a TV star — specifically, physically watching herself on the boob tube. “I just look at my hair and my double chin and my this and my that. They put Natalie Portman’s face on somebody else’s body, but they can’t fix me up a little?” Miller joked of the “Black Swan” star. Hollywood has taken notice of Abby Lee Miller too. Last summer, Neil Patrick Harris tweeted about his “Dance Moms” obsession, and in December, Miller had a public run-in with another plus-size TV star known for her big mouth and witty barbs. “I was recently at ‘Lysistrata Jones’ [on Broadway], and the guy who wrote the show was in the audience. He spotted me, he asked me to stay and meet the cast, and of course I was honored to do so,” Miller said. “And Rosie O’Donnell was there the same night. And she was onstage, then saw me, and she just went ballistic. She started screaming and quoting me. She wants to play me.” But before the Lifetime Original Movie “911 on Speed Dial: The Abby Lee Miller Story” gets green-lit, Rosie had some advice for the dance guru. “She said, ‘Why don’t you just shoot all those mothers and put us all out of our misery?’ ” Did you tune in to the “Dance Moms” premiere?

Lindsay Lohan is in “early talks” to play Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie “Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story,” according to Entertainment Weekly . Who better to play the a glamorous Hollywood icon than a train wreck frequent jailbird Playboy model who hasn’t had a notable acting role in years! The film will focus on Taylor’s tumultuous relationship with two-time husband Richard Burton. So how on Earth did they think of Lohan for the part? Like Lohan, Taylor began her career at a young age, growing up in the spotlight. Some say she made plenty of missteps along her road to icon status. Lohan also posed for Marilyn Monroe-inspired Playboy photos which allegedly racked up record sales for the mag, resurrecting her career somewhat. Maybe a Liz T. photo spread is next? Eh, maybe not. Elizabeth Taylor passed away in March at age 79. [Photo: WENN.com]

And the award for Most Unexpected Feud of the Week goes to… A few days after Will Smith posted a photo on his Facebook (below) of him and fellow cast members from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, many wondered: where was actress Janet Hubet, who portrayed the character of Smith’s aunt, Vivian, for multiple seasons? The answer, according to Hubert herself: Nowhere to be found near the former star of that sitcom… and don’t expect that to change any time soon. “I will never do anything with an a–hole like Will Smith,” Hubert told TMZ. “He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word.” Hubert believes Smith got her fired in 1993, halfway through the show’s run, because she refused to kiss up to the actor. He, of course, tells a different version, claiming Hubert was simply bitter because he instantly got a major break in the acting business, while she struggled for 10 years. But both agree on one thing apparently: “To her I’m just the AntiChrist,” Smith told an Atlanta radio station.
