It's looking like Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta are in talks to bring back Danny and Sandy – and we're a little bit over the moon.

Olivia has confirmed that the pair are chatting about plans for a 40th reunion next year, but she's keeping her cards close to her chest.

Speaking at the Fame Awards at the Hard Rock Live in Las Vegas, where she won the Icon Award, Olivia said: "We are thinking up ways. Nothing to announce yet.

"Forty years anniversary of Grease, which I can’t believe. Time goes so fast. It is so exciting."

According to The Mirror, the Fame Awards producer, Al Browman, said about Olivia: "To hear that she is returning as Sandy with John will be a huge deal for the world.

"It will be a huge deal. We would welcome them performing at next year's Fame Awards."

We're getting waaay too excited for this.

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

Want to take a look at Ross Gellar with mini Kardashians?

While a lot of us may be too young to remember the most highly-publicised court case in American history, we now have a second chance to see the whole thing.

And just in case that doesn’t entice you, it’s going to be full of Kardashians too!

The first pictures of the actors playing the young Kardashian clan on set of American Crime Story have been released, and they look SERIOUSLY similar to our favourite family twenty years ago.

It is no secret that the Kardashian name first came to prominence in the early 1990s during the murder trial of former sports star and actor, OJ Simpson.

In this new series from Glee creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, David Schwimmer (yes, that’s Ross Gellar) is playing Robert Kardashian – Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob’s Dad.

Selma Blair is playing Kris Jenner in the show. The Cruel Intentions star actually bumped into the momager on a red carpet two months ago, and their uncanny similarities were seen in person for the first time.

Meanwhile Oscar-winning actor, Cuba Gooding Jr, is set to play the role of Mr Simpson himself and John Travolta appears as Robert Shapiro, another of Mr Simpson's defence attorneys.

With the world’s attention permanently fixated on the lives of the Kardashians, we have no doubt that this show, which is set for a 2016 release, will garner a HUGE audience.

Double-take: Kris and Selma bump into each other on the red-carpet

She’s due to play Kris Jenner in a forthcoming TV series dramatising the OJ Simpson trial, and now Selma Blair has bumped into her the woman herself on the red-carpet.

Both were in attendance at the at the Children’s Justice Campaign Event in Beverly Hills yesterday.

Fittingly, the duo were dressed in almost-matching black attire (Selma opted for a playsuit; Kris stuck with a dress), and they also happily posed up for photographs side-by-side.

Kris, 59, and Selma, 42, even whipped out their phones to capture a few selfies.

On Monday, the actress was confirmed as playing the role of Kris in American Crime Story: The People V OJ Simpson.

Ms Blair told reporters at the Beverly Hills event that she was “very excited” to portray Jenner in the television mini-series. “She’s such a presence,” she said.

“People do say I look like Kris,” the Legally Blonde star also acknowledged.

Kris was equally gushing about Selma, commenting: “I think she’s great. I’m a big fan.”

Cuba Golding will play OJ in the series, while John Travolta will star as Robert Shapiro. Former Friends star David Schwimmer has been confirmed as taking on the role of Robert Kardashian.

The OJ Simpson trial, during which the former professional footballer and actor was found not-guilty of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friends Ronald L Goldman, took place in 1995. It remains one of the most absorbing and controversial cases in US legal history.

The TV series is due to premier next year and begins filming in Los Angeles later this month.

John Travolta was the ULTIMATE creep at last night’s Oscars

After majorly messing up Idina Menzel's name at last year's Oscars, we thought John Travolta would be keen to stay out of the limelight this time around!

The actor raised eyebrows all over the world at 2014's ceremony when he introduced Idina as Adele Dazeem – basically a random jumble of sounds which left everyone VERY confused.

This year though, he did one better and weirded out everyone in a big way when he attempted to give Scarlet Johansson a "friendly" kiss on the red carpet.

New mum Scarlett was posing for photographers outside when John stepped up behind her and planted a kiss on her cheek – much to poor ScarJo's shock and horror:

SHUDDER. Scarlett did manage to crack a half-smile once she realised what was going on, but it's clear she was more than a little creeped out! The pair did work together on the 2004 film A Love Song for Bobby Long, but judging by these pictures, they aren't exactly best friends.

So, we've finally got John Travolta figured out – he's that awkwardly overly familiar uncle you see once a year at some family event and pray you're not left to make small talk with…

As for Idina-gate, the Wicked actress attempted to make light of John's 2014 flub by giving him a taste of his own medicine. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage my very dear friend, Glom Gazingo," she said as John joined her on stage to present the award for Best Original Song.

Could we be cringing any more for him right now?!

Idina Menzel handles her wardrobe malfunction in the best way!

We already knew what a great sport Idina was, after the way she handled John Travolto’s crazy mispronunciation of her name at the Oscars.

But we love Idina even more now, after she managed to laugh off an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while performing on stage at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on Monday.

Fans notices that the Broadway star had a nip-slip in the middle of her on-stage performance, but instead of getting all worked about it, the Let It Go star still carried on with the show.

Idina even went on to say that she wasn’t too worried about her boobs going viral, shouting: “f**k it, they’re real!”

Oh Idina you know how to make us smile!

Idina Menzel opens up about John Travolta’s name slip

It’s been a month since the Oscars, but it seems that John Travolta cannot escape that infamous introduction of Idina Menzel.

Travolta’s confusion over Idina’s name went viral, as he managed to call the actress something that resembled: “Adele Dazeem.”

Idina has finally opened up about John’s name mistake and admits that his introduction threw her before she had to perform.

“It threw me for like eight seconds because I had done this whole preparation to make sure I really was in my body and didn’t get too nervous. And there was Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep sitting there make me so nervous. “

The Frozen actress admitted that she got through her big Oscar performance by imagining she was singing the Frozen hit to her son.

“So I was picturing my son Walker and singing it to him like we do in the bathtub and make sure I breathe — and then [Travolta] said my name like that and I was like, ‘Did that just happen?'”

John has clearly felt terrible about his mistake and has even sent a bouquet of flowers to the Frozen actress. But Idina is willing to Let It Go and is choosing to focus on the positive outcome that came from the famous name slip.

“I don’t want to keep saying it because I don’t want him to feel worse or anything, because he sent lots of apologies and everything that were really nice.”

Travolta still feels bad about name mix up

It’s been two weeks since the Oscars but it seems that John Travolta is still not over his embarrassing name mix up at the award ceremony.

Travolta introduced the Frozen star, Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem” just as she was about to perform the Frozen hit Let It Go.

Travolta decided to make up for the mispronunciation by sending a bouquet of flowers to Idina at the location of her new musical in New York.

Even though Idina has said to have laughed off the name mix up; it was still nice of John to send her the bouquet.

Following his epic fail at the Oscars when trying to pronounce Idina Menzel’s name, we are sure John Travolta just wants to forget the whole thing.

But there’s one group that has decided to make the most of his mistake – his fellow celebrities!

Kat Dennings, Cat Deeley and Jessica Biel have all “Travoltified” their names and uploaded the results onto their Instagram accounts.

With friends like these, who needs enemies, eh John?

This is SO much worse (and funnier) than Leo’s PhilMania slip at the Golden Globes.

While trying to introduce Frozen‘s Idina Menzel, John Travolta uttered something that resembled “Adele Dazeem” instead of the Broadway star’s actual name.

We can only assume he has about twenty people to tell him his one line, as well as having it in front of him while reading it aloud, so how did he get it wrong?

Watch the hilarious clip above – it is so cringe-worthy.

Despite Travolta’s rocky intro to her performance, Idina absolutely killed it on stage and her performance was flawless.
