Who can forget the brilliant reality show talent contest Spotlight!: Search for a Star? It had us all glued to our seats, right until the brilliant one-off TV special of Spotlight! The Musical featuring the best of new young British talent.

The bad news is that the musical’s writer – rock legend Mick Caruso – has no plans for another series, telling us at Hiya! Bye-a! it was only ever meant to be a one-off. We wonder if that’s true or if it has something to do with the surprise last-minute withdrawal of his daughter Jade from the line-up, along with teen heart-throb Danny Harvey.

The good news is that the live broadcast was so successful that it’s about to be turned into a blockbuster Hollywood musical! Casting is due to start any minute and rumour has it that the stars of the TV special, including Nydia Assimin, Ruby Parker and newcomer Gabe Martinez, are high on the list of preferred actors to win roles. We’ve also heard that sixteen-year-old international superstar Sean Rivers, who retired recently much to the misery of his global army of fans, might well be up for one of the lead roles in the movie!

Will we see Jade Caruso try out for the lead part of Arial again? It seems unlikely, especially as Mick Caruso told Hiya! Bye-a! that he’s letting Hollywood get on with it while he concentrates on writing material for his new album, due out next year. And we don’t think Hollywood would want to risk big bucks on an unreliable unknown with no track record.

So who will win a part in the biggest teen musical role in Hollywood? Keep your fingers crossed for the Brits and watch this space!
