Up until about a year ago, the most direct line Kenny Wormald could draw from himself to Kevin Bacon in that famous game of six degrees involved a lifetime of staring at the television screen. Now, the 26-year old Boston native IS Kevin Bacon, for all intents and purposes.
As the star of the new big screen remake of the iconic dance film "Footloose," Wormald is charged with breathing new life into Ren McCormack, a big city bad boy dance savior of Beaumont, Texas, the portrayal of whom launched Bacon to superstardom in 1984. But as daunting as that task may seem, the real pressure came for Wormald, a seasoned dancer with just a few small film credits to his name, in getting the part in the first place.
"I had more pressure on myself for booking the role. Once I booked it, I felt amazing because I put a ton of work into the audition process, and then all of the sudden the weight of, oh yeah, you have to make 'Footloose' now hit me, and I was like 'okay, here we go,'" he remembered in a conversation with The Huffington Post on Thursday.
The trepidation makes sense; throughout the film's protracted pre-production, there were a number of big names attached to star in the film, including this generation's top singing and dancing teenager, Zac Efron. And he'll co-star with "Dancing With The Stars" dancer Julianne Hough, a star in her own right, and girlfriend to megawatt personality, Ryan Seacrest. So, pressures on. But again, the confident Wormald was mainly concerned with his own moves.
"You know, its funny, you can always compare yourselves as dancers and actors and you're like 'oh man I could've done that and then it was all of the sudden boom, it was my opportunity to prove that I could do that. So I was glad that the Ren character had such a buzz, because of those guys, and I think it's really cool it ended up being me," he said. In fact, he thinks his casting has its unique advantages for the film, too.
"As a dancer, I think y'know, I did a lot of the stuff in the film and you didn't have to use choreography, a stunt double, excuse me a dance double, and you know I was totally psyched for the opportunity and I didn't care who was onboard before," Wormald insisted. "It was my movie, and it was my mountain to climb, along with the help of an amazing director in Craig brewer, I think we did a great job at it."

Née Annie Hawkins-Turner, the 52-year-old for Atlanta, Georgia, has the world's largest natural breasts (as reportedly confirmed by Guinness) -- 102ZZZs. That's 3.5 feet of cleavage and each side weighs in at 56 pounds.

Hawkins-Turner made headlines on Thursday after appearing on UK's "This Morning" to talk about her assets with hosts Phillip Schofield and Jenni Falconer.

On getting her first bra when she was 10:

"I don't know what size I was. I was just big. The only thing I remember about those bras is they were cotton and they stuck out just like footballs and that's when I knew I was different. Kids are some of the worst people in the world when it comes to picking on people. I was teased a lot."

On her daily routine:

"When I go out of my house I have to think about what my day is going to be like and who is going to attack me today. Every day someone teases me that doesn't know me. They make fun of me and there's no reason. I'm human like everybody else."

On her late husband Alan:

"He turned my whole life around. He made me love myself and turned me into his Barbie doll. I was like a plus-sized Barbie doll to him. He treated me like a queen. He loved me and he loved my kids. He was my angel, it wasn't just sexual."

On the work she's done for adult websites:

"I've shown people big is beautiful and you can be sexy in your own way. It's not mucky, I'm an entertainer. I talk to you, I'm your fantasy. When I talk to you it's because there are things in your mind that you want to do to me. But in reality you'd never meet me."

Her annual school fees cost a yearly salary, but Caggie Dunlop bid farewell to her posh upbringing last night.
The Made In Chelsea star sat drunkenly on the pavement outside the Mayfair Hotel, sitting on the concrete surrounded by cigarette butts.
She seemed oblivious to the fact she was perched on the floor instead of a throne, as she cosied up to love interest Spencer Matthews. 
Spencer, who also appears on the E4 reality show, looked delighted with the attention and reciprocated by putting an arm around his friend.

She won praise from fashion's fiercest critics when she arrived at Royal Ascot last week in a plunging, corseted Alexander McQueen dress.
So it's little wonder Princess Eugenie decided to attempt to recreate her Ascot success by wearing an incredibly similar red number to Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball.
The 21-year-old princess looked stunning in the Vivienne Westwood full-length gown, which was corseted to accentuate her tiny waist and feminine curves.

A cellphone of Osama bin Laden's trusted courier recovered in the U.S. raid last month that killed both men in Pakistan contained contacts to a militant group that is a longtime asset of Pakistan's intelligence agency, The New York Times reported late Thursday.

In a story posted on the Times website, senior American officials and others briefed on the findings said the discovery indicates bin Laden used the group, Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen, as part of his support network inside Pakistan.

It raises questions about whether the group and others helped shelter and support the al-Qaida leader on behalf of Pakistan's spy agency.

The officials and analysts told the Times that Pakistan's intelligence agency had mentored Harakat and allowed it to operate in Pakistan for at least 20 years.

In tracing the calls on the cellphone, U.S. analysts have determined that Harakat commanders had called Pakistani intelligence officials, the senior American officials said. One said they had met. The officials added that the contacts were not necessarily about bin Laden and that there was no "smoking gun" showing that Pakistan's spy agency had protected bin Laden.

Beyond providing leads about why bin Laden was able to live comfortably for years in Abbottabad, a town dominated by the Pakistani military just 35 miles from the capital city of Islamabad, the discovery also may help shed light on bin Laden's secret odyssey after he slipped away from U.S. forces in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan nearly 10 years ago.

Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy, made a shocking revelation in court today when she said that she, not Casey, had conducted Internet searches for "chloroform" in March 2008.
The bombshell testimony came during day 25 of the trial. Casey Anthony is accused of multiple charges, including capital murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement for the death of her daughter, two-year-old Caylee.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
Called to the stand on behalf of the defense, Cindy Anthony explained she conducted the computer searches in an attempt to figure out why her Yorkshire terrier was "extremely tired all the time." The dog was known to eat bamboo plants, so Cindy Anthony said she started out searching for chlorophyll, a green pigment that is found in most plants.
The search for chlorophyll led to a search for “chloroform” because some species of algae produce a natural form of chloroform, Anthony said.
Anthony also told defense attorney Jose Baez that she conducted searches for "chest injuries" and "head injuries" around that same time because a friend of hers had been in a car accident.
"[I was] looking up specific terminology that someone had asked me to look up," Anthony testified

A student with a rare condition that caused her to faint every time she stood up over 14 years is finally back on her feet.
Lizzie Rees, 22, suffers from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which affects the body's ability to adjust to the pull of gravity.

The condition causes her heart rate to speed up whenever she stands, causing her to pass out up to five times a day.
Even getting up from a chair would cause her to collapse and she often had to crawl around on her hands and knees or use a wheelchair.
But after countless medical experts failed to cure the problem she is finally enjoying a normal life after a heart specialist prescribed a drug to control her blood flow.
Miss Rees, from Bristol, said: 'I would pass out up to five times a day and was constantly getting injured banging my head and have to go off to A&E.
'I have seen cardiologists and doctors of pretty much every speciality going, but it is great to know that this is treatable.
'I remember feeling so much better after I started treatment. I still pass out occasionally but going to college now shows how far I have come.'
POTS is a form of dysautonomia - an abnormal functioning of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which controls many subconscious bodily functions including breathing and balance.
When the average person stands their blood pressure drops slightly but the ANS recognises this and causes their heart rate to momentarily increase.
But in POTS patients, their blood pressure plummets when they stand, causing the heart to race. Blood supply is not able to reach the brain quickly enough, resulting in dizziness, vision loss and fainting.
