John Travolta seems unlikey to reprise his role as Edna Turnblad in the planned Hairspray 2. He told Australia's Sunday Daily Sun, "I think once is enough. I did it and I did it well but I'm not a big sequel guy."
Playbill pointed out that Travolta did do two sequels, so don't lose hope yet! Adam Shankman is also still for the idea.
"I never thought of musicals as franchises, but it certainly worked with 'High School Musical,' and the idea of working with that cast again, and creating new material and music, is a dream come true. John (Waters) has such an original and extraordinary voice; we all can't wait to see what he has come up with."

'Proof' tells story of cancer revolutionary
...Amid all its emotion, "Living Proof" also has lots of details and detours. Viewers need an entry point; they get that from Amanda Bynes, playing a bewildered liberal-arts major working as Slamon's new aide.
It was typecasting, Bynes says. "I'm definitely not a science major."
At home, her dad (a dentist) and brother (a chiropractor) know the big words; Bynes, who had her own comedy show at 13, knows humor. Now, Connick explains things to her.
"It was based on his research assistant," she says. "In the end, she went to medical school."
Bynes emerged with a deep respect for Connick ("he's a tremendously nice person") and of the man he portrays.

Here's what he posted on his blog:
We decided to throw an impromptu house party on Saturday night - thanks Eric! - for no special occasion.
It wasn't anyone's birthday. We were just in town, we knew that a bunch of our friends were in town and since it's rare for so many of us to all be here at the same time, we thought it was the perfect opportunity for a party.
No expectations. No RSVPS.
And we honestly had the best time ever!
Some of our favoritest people in the world showed up, some you don't know and some you might - like Katy Perry, Mika, Josh Groban, Lady Gaga, Amanda Bynes, Emmy Rossum, Michelle Trachtenberg and Diane Warren.
