MR. CLEAN, TWINKIE THE KID TO BECOME ACTION STARS

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Move over Jackie Chan, the next action star may be Mr. Clean. It seems Mr. Clean, Twinkie the Kid and even Chef Boy-R- Dee are about to become the stars of a digitally animated cartoon. The upcoming 'toon -- called "Foodfight!" -- will attempt to explain what really goes on when the supermarket closes. "Foodfight!" producer Larry Kasanoff says Mr. Clean and Twinkie will star as freedom fighters trying to overthrow the evil "Brand X," a organization trying to control the store. The cartoon is tentatively set for release sometime next year, but prequels featuring the advertising icons will start appearing at thethreshold.com within the next six months.
