One good thing--at least Jake Gyllenhaal has somewhat lessened the stigma of spontaneously breaking out into a rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going".

...somewhat...


Unfortunately, he probably increased the stigma that all gay men are drag queens.

I, however, saved the GREASE show to watch tonight before prime time TV begins for me.

I did watch the dramatic shows I recorded from last night.

However, I began with the hilarious EXTRAS, Ricky Gervais' very funny and droll British series currently beginning its second series of shows on HBO. Orlando Bloom was a hoot last night bragging about his looks. Hysterical from beginning to end.

Next I watched DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. There were some funny things at the beginning, but the show quickly took a turn to the serious, and I quite enjoyed all of last night's storylines. Poor Julie learning the truth about Edie's nephew.

I did a little searching on the names and I would not qualify them as Broadway vets either. IMHO, you have several successful  shows under your belt and be RECOGNIZED by your peers as a strong talent.

I disgree on your criteria.

The label "verteran" denotes longevity of service; it is independent of quality, success, or recognition.

Next, I watched CROSSING JORDAN as Jordan and her family at the morgue worked overtime to try to clear her name of murder in the second half of the cliffhanger from the end of last season. Nice to see a favorite show back on the air.

I don't think that the popularity of reality shows have as much to do with a love of competition as much as it does with voyeurism.

WITHOUT A TRACE had a lesser episode about the disappearance of a champion eater right after he'd earned $5,000 for winning a chili contest. The guilty party was pretty obvious once we got each suspect's backstory. Often, WITHOUT A TRACE is one of the most difficult of the procedurals to guess the identity of the guilty party, but not this week.

I will scan through the Golden Globes tonight before I log back on, but I won't be doing any fashion commentary since it'll be after the fact (on the East Coast anyway). And, of course, I'll not spoil the revelations of the winners either.

touting Miss Marshall as a Tony Award-winning director (she has never won a directing award, Tony or otherwise..

Well she IS a director - her last two Broadway outings had her Tony nominated as a Director; she is a two-time Tony winner, albeit for choreography. Therefore, to refer to her as a "Tony Award winning director" is technically correct (perhaps a tad disingenous).

One Murphy leaves, and another Murphy joins the fray.  Glad to see my reclusive mother has returned in fine form.  

I very much like "DR Elmo" as a new nickname for you, Lar, but I'm afraid if I start using that, some of my old nicknames might start leaking out (courtesy of my mom...).


Don't ever worry about that, Mr. Poopy Pants.

Unfortunately, he probably increased the stigma that all gay men are drag queens.


I can't remember who it was, but I recall a gay radio host often saying that all gay men should dress in drag at least one night a year.  I never agreed with him--I just feel that dressing up as woman is way too much work.  I can barely keep up appearances as is.

Yes, Russian dressing is high in fat and carbs but it's very good.  It's the Mayo factor.

I could be worse - Ranch has 25% more calories than Russian!

My Closer producer had a friend who was a singer/dancer in the Broadway production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. She was told she couldn't audition for the Grease thing because she had too much professional experience.

So how can Juliana make it? It doesn't seem fair--I thought the idea was to discover new talent! (Maybe I should just watch the show...)




I believe that both Austin and Juliana were signed to their respective tours as understudys.  Neither had previously appeared on a Broadway stage.  Maybe that it the difference.

Kind of an exciting day at work..since there's not much to do graphically and we're short-handed they sent me on a shoot. A church steeple decided it didn't want to sit on top fo the church anymore. I hadn't shot a story in years, it was fun. There were 7 people in the office of the church, the heard cracking for a couple of hours, then bolted when they heard the crash. Nobody was hurt luckily. It was really weird to see though.

Well, he certainly is adorable, and everyone has raved about his work in BRAIN.  I wish I could have seen it, but I guess (for now) I will have to be content to look forward to hearing the CD.

Did I mention it warmed up to a balmy 2 degrees so I went out and shoveled the walk and the pile at the end of the driveway from the road grader.
