Chace Crawford is reportedly furious his name has been attached to the Footloose remake – after hordes of teenage girls swarmed the set of his show to sing him the film's theme tune.

The Gossip Girl actor was linked to the part made famous by Kevin Bacon in the 1984 classic after Zac Efron pulled out in March.

Crawford reportedly impressed casting bosses with a stunning screen test, and has expressed his desire to move into films. But after the rumours surrounding his connection to the project was leaked to the press, the TV hunk has faced constant serenading from his female fans while filming hit show Gossip Girl in New York. And TV bosses have been forced to hire extra security for the star after the musical bombardment – which has led Crawford to seek refuge in his native Texas.

A source tells E! Online, "They had to beef up security because more girls have been showing up to set every day singing Footloose. He couldn't take it anymore, so he's leaving town tomorrow."

When asked why the movie's theme would drive him out of town, Crawford sniffed, "I prefer the melodies of the earlier Loggins canon. Perhaps something off 1972's Loggins and Messina. The Footloose soundtrack is for posers."

"I want to do the edgy independent movies, like Leonardo DiCaprio did, but you have to balance it out. It's about carving out your leading-man role. 'Fight Club'? Yes! 'X-Men'? Yes! All sorts of different films. 'American Beauty'? Yes! I don't know if I could pull off a Kevin Spacey, but I'll try!"

So rest easy, Sam Ronson. You have nothing to worry about.

After meeting him at the Diesel XXX Rock party in New York, the pair swapped numbers ñ and she has been calling him up to four times a day ever since.

Our party mole says: ìLindsay took a real shine to Chace and was pretty much throwing herself at him all night.

ìShe was standing in such a way that some part of her body was always touching him ñ at one point hip to hip.

ìShe was also giving him the filthiest looks, whispering in his ear, and turning everything he said into an innuendo.

ìEveryone on the set of Gossip Girl has been teasing him mercilessly as Lindsay has been calling him three or four times a day and sending provocative text messages. Although she may just be having a laugh and not have any serious amorous intentions, everyone reckons Sam will go mad when she finds out.ì

As a result Chace has been advised to stay well away from Lindsay and give the couple a very wide berth.î

Oh, honey, we don't think you understand what gay means. Gay girls like other gay girls, not gay boys.

And if that's not enough excitement for you, how about a little lawsuit? Everybody loves getting sued! Reports People:

Lindsay Lohan is being sued by three men in an SUV she drove during a car chase leading to her second DUI arrest last year.

The actress was "angry and aggressive" and the men "felt surprise, shock, fear and panic at Lohan's surprising and sudden act" of allegedly commandeering a car in which they happened to be sitting to chase her personal assistant through the streets of Santa Monica, according to the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs ñ Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro ñ are seeking unspecified damages in the case, filed in Superior Court in Santa Monica.

Although nobody was physically injured, their suit describes a wild, traumatic ride with Lohan allegedly angry and intoxicated as she went after the other car following a party.

"Dante and Jakon continued to implore Lohan to slow down, stating specifically that she was endangering all of their lives and that they could be killed," the lawsuit says. "Lohan refused to slow or stop, but instead responded with abusive cursing and vulgar language, including a statement that she did not care about the risk of death."

The lawsuit adds: "She also stated that because she was a celebrity she could do whatever she wants."

Wait a minute. Hold up here. Let us get this straight. Chace Crawford? Car chase? Chace, chase? What are you trying to tell us here, Lindsay? Are you planning a career change? The next time we stop by our local Chase bank will we see a plaque on a desk with the name Lindsay Lohan on it? Will you be assisting us in opening a money market account? Because, truthfully, that might be a good move at this point.
