Haines His Way

Why would I care what movie Rose McGowan thinks is an essential?

Jimmy Clanton?
(Mark Wynter if you were shopping in the UK)

Ack...ack-ack-ack....ack-ack!

Yes, Jimmy Clanton.  I guess my night had a thousand eyes.

Good Evening!

Well, that casting session was short and sweet.  -Very much like most of the boys and girls who came in today to audition.  

And this is now official-official too...

Mario Lopez Will Be A Chorus Line's Next Zach


-Guess I'll be playing some more day rehearsals over the next couple of weeks.  

Well... And there was little tidbit in today's New York Times:

Chef Cooks Up Hoax

The celebrity chef, author and aspiring St. Petersburg, Fla., restaurateur Robert Irvine will be replaced by the Food Network as host of “Dinner Impossible” after admitting to inaccuracies in a résumé that included a British knighthood, ownership of a castle in Scotland, friendship with Prince Charles and cooking for four United States presidents, the BBC reported. The British-born Mr. Irvine, 42, who also said he had helped to make the wedding cake for Prince Charles and Lady Diana, told The St. Petersburg Times that he had fabricated parts of his history because he felt pressure “to keep up with the Joneses” and that he was “truly sorry.” Mr. Irvine, the author of an autobiography, “Mission: Cook!,” and the owner of a company that sells his own brand cookware, did work at the White House, but in the Navy Mess, not as a personal chef to a president. A spokesman for the Food Network said, “We appreciate Robert’s remorse about his actions,” but added that “for now we will be looking for a replacement host.”

First Cast Album:  ANYTHING GOES (Eileen Rogers)

First Movie Soundtrack:  BEN-HUR

(Let me think about the rest.)

In February of 1964, after about nine years off and on in Junior Theatre, I got cast in my first mainstage show at the Tacoma Little Theatre.  I was cast as Nick in the production of A THOUSAND CLOWNS.  Being cast in one of the main stage productions immediately changed my status from just one of the kids, to one of the regular crowd involved with the theater.  The first production after A THOUSAND CLOWNS was ANYTHING GOES, and since I was now with the in crowd, I used to take the bus down to the theater on Friday nights, because I could hang around backstage and watch the show from the wings. Naturally, the cast recording became a very important part of my youth, because it reminded me every time I played it, that I was no longer an audience member or a Junior Theatre kid,; but I was now an actor.  

DR singdaw - Were you planning on coming into the City tonight?  Or is your other-half in the city today?  (re: the building collapse)

Well...no and no.  So I guess that news had no impact on anyone here at HHW.  Oh well!  

NEW AMSTERDAM, a new procedural series with an immortal detective as the lead. Let's see how it compares to MOONLIGHT.

If the good looks of the leading actors is any indication, I would say we have a tie!

How about an immoral detective?

We have all heard stories about how various show biz folk, including Clark Gable, supported themselves before they became famous.  Should we really care whether this young man took his clothes off in a gay bar, a straight bar, or on a street corner?

Well... I'm just waiting for Frenchie Davis to pop up again in the news...

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:

Beautiful, as always, DearReaderLaura DR!

I'm here at Panera, waiting on a sandwich.  The sandwich is being very rude and I know it will be a small tipper.
