Ask filmmaker John Waters to name his favorite movies and he'll tell you that just about nothing is off-limits. He says his DVD-watching habits tend toward the strange, the shocking and the exploitative. Oh, and the extreme.
Adam Shankman's adaptation of the stage musical "Hairspray," itself an adaptation of the non-musical John Waters film of the same name, stars Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad, an overweight high school student whose only dream is to be on a local Baltimore teen dance program. Also on DVD: Live Free Or Die Hard and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.

"Hairspray" creator John Waters loves his hometown, Baltimore, which has been the backdrop of his cult movies. He takes Sunday Morning on a tour of the city.
As a fitting finale (hopefully) to their lengthy series of premieres, the young half of the cast of Hairspray spent Wednesday night celebrating in Baltimore, the city that inspired the original John Waters film back in 1988. The awesome Waters himself was there and looked happy to be on the red carpet in his lime green pants. Amanda, Zac, Nikki & Elijah were even gracious enough to show off some moves at the after party. Marsden, on the other hand, just continued to look dreamy. After this lengthy lead up full of fresh faced youngins (and even more fresh faced Pfeiffer), I bet at least some of you are super excited that it's finally out today! Buzz had a blast at the movie, check out her full review here!
Probably sick of the red carpet formality, Zac and Nikki dressed down for a pretaped appearance on TRL this week, but Amanda was more sick of the costume changes and opted to wear the same dress to both this and the NYC premiere later that evening. What can I say, the girl loves her leather mini dress! It's funny to think that of the three of them, Amanda is the oldest at 21-years-old. Even with her blonde Barbie locks she still looks so young. We've been on Hairspray overload, but it's just about over. The movie is out tomorrow so the world can see for itself how they feel about the remake of John Waters' classic. So, anyone still excited?
The world probably didn't need another film version of John Waters' 1988 romp "Hairspray" any more than it needed a Broadway musical version of it. The whole cycle reeks of that movie-of-a-stage-production-of-a-movie debacle that has tainted the legacy of "The Producers."

It was the LBD brigade at last night's NYC premiere of Hairspray. Michelle once again looked absolutely phenomenal. What is it about her -- lucky lucky eternally 25! It's always a treat to see the stars of the film, but Holy Katie Holmes! Yowza! She surprised the crowd just by showing up, but seeing her in that skin tight little number is what is more shocking for me. I do love seeing her with little Suri all the time, but youthful happy Katie is awesome to see, too. All the other ladies -- Amanda, Nikki, Queen -- looked outstanding as well, especially little Brittany Snow who looks a whole lot better than last week's too yellow number. ICYMI, let Buzz's interview with Nikki Blonsky get you excited to see the movie this weekend!
