WHAT!?
"MTV is going to turn The Rocky Horror Picture Show into a TV movie. They will take the 1975 cult classic sci-fi, horror musical spoof and give it a 2008 spin."
A 2008 spin?! The fuck does that even mean? They'll have it star Heidi and Spencer?

For a moment there my brain was trying to parse an update of Rocky Horror Picture Show featuring the characters Heidi and Spencer in the place of Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, respectively.
That would be amusing.
I have since checked the links, and do not know of the Heidi/Spencer of which you speak, nor do I care to based on what I read.
I should mention that I've never liked RHPS, and even as a child I found it... outdated. That said...
If this MTV "updated" version was being led by Jack Black, who would be playing Meatloaf's part as Eddie, I might give it a chance. Instead, what you've got is Marilyn Manson claiming that he will replace Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. One of the most interesting actors in cinema being replaced by one of the dullest person-like-thing in media whorery.
I note also that MTV says "based on" and that they will be changing "some" of the songs, removing others, and adding in some new ones of their own.

No, that doesn't work either.
