Charlyne Yi and Channing Tantum Prove (Again) No One Puts Baby in the Corner
Growing up, every little Jewish girl swooned over Dirty Dancing—hunkering down in the rec room for the 17th viewing in a row following a bout of unrequited love, or practicing those super hot steps out in the backyard (or maybe that’s just me…and maybe I shouldn’t admit to this in a public forum).
Regardless, MSN Video and Mean magazine have struck gold with this reimagining of a scene from the classic chick flick, starring comedian Charlyne Yi as Baby, Channing Tantum as Jonny and score courtesy of Ryan Kattner, of Man Man fame.
With a new movie on the horizon (Paper Heart, for which she wrote the screenplay), a celebrity boyfriend (Michael Cera) and a whole lotta buzz accumulating in the indie world, Yi seems to be going places. Jennifer Grey should hire Yi to resurrect all of her most popular roles. Wait…

Jennifer Grey should have kept her cute Jewish nose.
