Let's hear it for the boy

Hearing about Chris Penn's death this morning made me more than just a little sad. Cheesy as it was, who doesn't remember Chris as Willard Hewitt in Footloose? One of the most memorable scenes in the film has to he the Chris Penn/Kevin Bacon dance sequence. And, really, doesn't a smile always accompany that memory?

RIP Chris.

They said out of every celebrity they have ever had on the show he was the #1 jerkiest of all time.

Then a couple of people called in to say the same thing in their encounters with him.

Just the same I loved that scene and movie too and will always remember him for that. It was one of the best!

01. Will Madonna attend the funeral since she was married to Sean?

02. If she does attend the funeral, whill she try to convince the Penn's to make it a Kabalah service?

03. If they agree and make it a Kabalah service, will Ashton, Demi and Brittney attend?

My favorite part of that scene is the fact that he has on those cowboy boots. Priceless!
