Well, if the Virgin Megastore space goes the way of the rest of Times Square, most likely, another hotel.  :-\

Another reason DR Tomovoz appreciates living in Melbourne, Australia:

Patti LuPone is on "The View" today.  Singing!

I certainly didn't find the Cubby thing funny, but that's just me.  Of course, it makes perfect sense that Mr. Colaizzo is in it - he works for the General Management team.

You will remember where you first heard about the demise of Virgin - I predicted the Broadway store would be closing, because I received some insider information.  They chose to hang on in NY, close their flagship store in LA and other stores elsewhere, but the writing has been on the wall for two years now.  Soon, the only store options will be Target and Best Buy and that, for me, is the end of the retail music business - which is nauseating and pathetic.

I'm not sure if Lasenza is a canadian company. But it's a big lingerie store.

Anyhow every year they have a huge wearhouse sale where everything is $1-5. It is crazy.

This year in their ad they put "no long line-ups" which is clearly not the case.

They give you a plastic bag and women run around like crazy. Normally i am not into such things. But i decided to try it (since this year the sale is 5 minutes from my house).

Luckily i did not have to wait very long (just for them to open the doors). Although there were a couple hundred others there waiting too. But at least no line-ups at the cash.

It's crazy. tshirts are $2. Giftsets $2. Only bras and pjs and sweaters and stuff like that were $5.

HMV used to be here in NYC too.  It was my favorite record store.  Until they closed. :-\

How sad to hear about Mel Ferrer's passing.

He was the last living link to my earliest moviegoing memories.  My earliest recollections of going to movies was 1956 when I saw, among others (but most memorably), "Anastasia", "The Ten Commandments" and "War and Peace."  He was a wonderful Prince Andrei  for Audrey Hepburn's Natasha in that latter film.  The stars of all those films are now off to other adventures in other realms.

Can someone explain the joke (or the not funny joke). I must have missed a post. I saw the part about Xanadu trying for the Tony. But I am not connecting the dots.

Well... I think I heard about the likely closing before you did, but from a different insider - who's really not that much of an insider.

The end is being hastened by Amazon offering $0.99/ track downloads of new albums!

More like and/or in conjunction with iTunes.  -Which has offered 99-cent downloads since they began (I think).  And for just 50 cents more, you can download a "loss-less" music file.

I do plan to watch FEAR ITSELF tonight on NBC, an horror anthology series slated for a 13 week run. I'd love for this to be successful. It would be nice to have one anthology show running that starts a viewer off fresh every week with a new tale. It's been SO long since one of those was successful.

Do you know anything more about this show? Would it be my cup of tea?

Unfortuately i cannot watch it right now.

Would it be possible for someone to just give me the basics of what it is about.
