Hollywood Minute: "Sister Act" Coming to Stage

"SISTER ACT" IS COMING TO THE STAGE AS A MUSICAL, AND BARBARA WALTERS IS UNVEILING SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO FASCINATED HER IN 2008.  BROOKE ANDERSON HAS MORE IN TODAY'S HOLLYWOOD MINUTE.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG'S 1992 HIT MOVIE "SISTER ACT" IS BEING MADE INTO A MUSICAL.  GOLDBERG WILL PRODUCE, BUT NOT STAR IN THE STAGE VERSION THAT TELLS THE STORY OF DELORIS - A LOUNGE SINGER WHO WITNESSES A MOB CRIME AND HIDES OUT IN A CONVENT.  THE MUSICAL OPENS IN LONDON THIS SUMMER.

BARBARA WALTERS HAS UNVEILED SOME OF HER "10 MOST FASCINATING PEOPLE."  ON WALTER'S LIST FOR 2008: OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST MICHAEL PHELPS, TEEN SENSATION MILEY CYRUS, BOX OFFICE GOLD MAKER WILL SMITH, AND THE STAR AND CREATOR OF "30 ROCK" - TINA FEY.  THE VETERAN JOURNALIST WILL REVEAL WHO TOPS THE LIST WHEN HER ANNUAL SPECIAL AIRS ON ABC, DECEMBER 4TH.

NBC ANNOUNCED IT WILL NOT ORDER NEW EPISODES OF TWO OF ITS SHOWS WITH BIG NAME STARS... BROOKE SHIELD'S "LIPSTICK JUNGLE" AND CHRISTIAN SLATER'S "MY OWN WORST ENEMY."  BOTH SAW RATINGS FALL AFTER THEIR PREMIERES AND WILL NOT BE BACK IN THE NETWORK LINEUP.

FOR HOLLYWOOD MINUTE, I'M BROOKE ANDERSON.
