** John Waters wrote a sequel to the 2007 movie titled ''Hairspray 2: White Lipstick'', detailing everyone's struggles to adjust to new music trends of the late 1960s. Plot points he shared included the African-American dancers planning an all-Black music program, Link becoming [[Fake Brit]] to attract fans of [[The Beatles]], and Edna losing weight through weight loss pills. New numbers included Link having a [[Mushroom Samba]] and singing with his pimples, and Edna gorging back all the weight she lost after learning that Wilbur thinks she looked better when she looked fat.
