Gaga dance-maven's series follows unknowns

ATLANTA, April 17 (UPI) -- Choreographer Laurieann Gibson says her new BET series "Born to Dance" looks outside the U.S. media meccas for new talent.

"Born to Dance" features Gibson working with aspiring young dancers in Philadelphia and Detroit who don't have access to top-tier instruction but are also shielded from the cut-throat environments of New York and Los Angeles.


Production will be based in Atlanta and the show debuts Aug. 2, Billboard said Sunday.


Gibson, who is best known for her work with pop star Lady Gaga, told Billboard the series will include the brass-tacks of making a living while also devoting their passion to their art.


"It's a survival story of youth and how much they need real art," Gibson said. "We are very conscious about not saying, 'You're fired.' There's so much rejection in the dance world. My show isn't about winning a trophy and then being let go."


'Sweetvalley' girls grown up in new book

NEW YORK, April 17 (UPI) -- New York City-based writer Francine Pascal says Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, of the teen "Sweet Valley High" series, are all grown up.

Pascal said that's why she decided to write a sequel to the former California-based series, calling it "Sweet Valley Confidential," the New York Times reported.


In the new book Elizabeth and Jessica are 27, live on opposite coasts and enjoy alcohol and apparently at times, even casual sex.


"I've had people who have questioned Elizabeth having orgasms," said Pascal, the creator of the original series and author of the new book. "And I say to them, if they're listening, would you deny a 27-year-old woman the right to have an orgasm?"


St. Martin's Press is the publisher of "Sweet Valley Confidential" and its target audience is not new readers, but those who were devoted to the story in its original form. Despite some poor reviews, the new book made its debut on The New York Times bestseller list Sunday.


"We were surprised by the reaction," said Dan Weiss, the publisher at large at St. Martin's. "It speaks to the fact that initially there was a real core group of fanatic fans, who are always the preservationists. They don't want things to change."


Pascal understands how fans of the previous series feel.


"Sweet Valley was their adolescence and I've done some very radical things," Pascal said. "But you are different from that inchoate person of 16, and you have to allow that change to those characters."


The series was introduced in 1983. It chronicled the high school dramas of the Wakefield twins, Jessica, a playful diva, and Elizabeth, a moral goody-goody.

Things You’ll Only See In America



Simon Planning All-Girl Baseball Anthem

Carly Simon is working on a new baseball anthem after confessing she once started to write a song to rival traditional tune Take Me Out To The Ballgame.

The You're So Vain singer has recorded a rendition of the beloved sports anthem for a CD accompanying a kids book about baseball, and the star reveals she once tried to pen her own stadium tune - about her daughter becoming a major league player.

She tells The Associated Press, "I really should finish it."
