THANKS TO SONY, WE CAN EXPECT A REMAKE OF “THE CRAFT”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>broke the news this week that\u00a0Andrew Fleming’s 1996 supernatural screenplay “The Craft” is set for a re-make thanks to Sony. Starring Fairuza Balk, Rachel True, Neve Campbell, and Robin Tunney the film follows the\u00a0four teen witches who cause havoc with their powers. Having loaned grungy-goth fashion and attitude tips to teens worldwide, it’s going to be a tough to beat but we’re already dying to know who’s on the casting list.<\/p>\n

DIOR BETTER HAVE RIHANNA’S MONEY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Marking\u00a0the first black woman as the face of the house in 69 years, Rihanna features in the\u00a0fourth chapter of Dior’s\u00a0Secret Garden\u00a0<\/em>saga. The teaser for Steven Klein\u2019s film, shot in the Chateau and gardens of Versailles, sees Rihanna climb the dimly lit staircase in killer heels and a red dress, arm tucked behind her back, Dior clutch in hand to the sound of piano keys that later erupt into a second of pop that cuts short leaving us in suspense. Rihanna slays again.<\/p>\n

BRIT DON’T DANCE LIKE SHE USED TO<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea have teamed up for their new Little Mix-penned track “Pretty Girls”. With candy pink lips, over-crimped hair and lashings of leopard print, the blondes belt out the girl-power lyrics: “All around the world, pretty girls, jump the line to the front, do what we like, get what we want”. Meanwhile animated planets fly across the screen \u2013 an obvious nod to Julien Temple’s 1988 film Earth Girls Are Easy \u2013<\/em> and Azalea plays the alien treading unknown territory. Whilst my inner 13-year old is desperate to love it (I’m not for one minute going to deny being a die hard Britney fan circa 2000), the sad reality is that I don’t.<\/p>\n

Just like two wrongs don’t make a right, two famed blondes don’t necessarily make a good record, or video for that matter. As\u00a0Noisey’s\u00a0<\/em>Kat George puts it:<\/a> \u201cPretty Girls\u201d makes Britney “look like Jenna Maroney\u2019s mom in\u00a030 Rock<\/em>: a cloying stage mom desperate to share her young daughter\u2019s spotlight in a tacky money grab”. My 13-year-old self also remembers Brit being able to bust a move, “Pretty Girls” confirms she really can’t.<\/p>\n
