Former Summerland siblings Jesse McCartney and Kay Panabaker snap a pic inside Variety 's 2009 Power of Youth event held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon .

Fame , the newly released movie, is a remake of the 1980 original movie of the same name.

It was a case of the old meets new at the premiere of Fame this week. Star of the original film Debbie Allen mixed it up with members of the cast from the remake at the red carpet event, which took place in Los Angeles.

THESE days fame is a commodity and yet more fleeting than ever, with millions of kids dreaming of catching a shortcut to celebrity via TV talent shows.

It's hard to imagine actors being 'real' people. We know they're real, but still have a hard time separating them from the characters they play.

Fame , 2009-style, takes a couple of the iconic songs and the concept of a group of young dancers, singers, actors, and artists attending the New York City High School of Performing Arts, and presents a completely new story.
