While I was waiting for Jeff to arrive, I watched the Angela Lansbury-Private Screenings episode on TCM. It's one of the better interviews conducted in this series.

Has anyone else heard anything about a new LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury?

I read it's in the planning stages, but I'm sure they've signed on the dotted line yet.

Is this for the stage or for film?

I'm hopping off-line now to write up today's work project. Then, I'll have the evening free to watch what I want.

And now I'm really going!

Went to Duane Reade to get the toiletries that are too large to carry on the plane - I do this every trip since they made that ultra-ridiculous 3 ounce thing in a plastic bag thing. I walked over to the gym - it looks nice, but I know these NY gyms get crazy busy, so I have no idea what to expect. I'll mosey on over there at nine tomorrow and see what's what, but if it's crazy, I'll just jog for forty-five minutes or an hour.

One block from the hotel is a Popeye's fried chicken and next door to it is a Baskin-Robbins.

I did a lot of notes for Crista's act whilst on the plane - she'd sent me everything we put together last year, but that isn't really an act - I put Band-Aids on all the patter and numbers, and it's worked fine for her, but now it's time to make it a real structured act, so there's going to be lots of new stuff to learn and songs to be chosen - but I have a clearer idea of how it will work after making the notes.

Wow! John Cudea could make me want to see PHANTOM OF THE OPERA again. He isn't Brent Barrett, but he is damn cute.

SEND in the stars!

Just a week ago, Trevor Nunn's revival of Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" was on the verge of falling apart.

The great Angela Lansbury had agreed to play Madame Armfeldt, provided the producers lined up another star to play her daughter, Desiree.

An old showbiz shrewdie, Lansbury didn't want to shoulder a multimillion-dollar Broadway revival by herself.

The producers were sweating a Labor Day deadline, but now it appears they've got their second headliner: Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Zeta-Jones, who won an Oscar as Velma Kelly in the film "Chicago," recently moved here from Los Angeles with her husband, Michael Douglas, to do a show. She'd accepted an offer, sources say, to star in "Women on the Verge," based on the Pedro Almodovar film, but the producers decided she'd have to audition, and, annoyed, she passed.

Sondheim called Zeta-Jones and persuaded her to do "Night Music" instead. It will open at the Walter Kerr in mid-December.

Thank you, derBrucer. I thought someone had made that story up.

I shall now be on my way to Joe Allen and Miss Crista Moore. Mr. Kevin Spirtas may stop by later. And I can't wait until our get-together tomorrow night - for it's get-together weather.

A question for those living in Oregon:

Are you supposed to tip the guy who pumps your gas at a full-service station?

I wonder if Uncle Steve could convince Brent Barrett to play Fredrik?

Bruce, IMHO, you should be wearing running shoes on a treadmill. I would not use one without them.

We let the kittens out of the kitten room, and they are having a ball running around. The older cats are watching, looking quite bewildered.

Will there be a video?

OH!

One of the tape box collages that Louis Armstrong assembled included a photo of him standing alongside Danny Kaye and Susan Gordon from "The Three Pennys".

What happened to the other two pennies?

I should try to catch Elmore doing the sidways hop down the hall with his tail bushed up.

DR Matt H, I'm glad you won't need to cook for awhile. I wish my friends were all scattered around the country, even in L.A. they are all very far apart.

This is funny. It seems like a waste of money unless you check your bag on the return trip home. How many items did you have to buy?

I am always on the lookout for travel size products of items I use, and for small containers to transfer products into. With my allergies I cannot trust I'll find products which are safe for me to use.

Found out yesterday my Godfather passed away at the age of 94 from complication of Alzheimers. He was a superior court judge in Canada and was responsible for my father going to practice law in Toronto and because of that he met my mother and they got married and then had me. One person can make a difference. Even though I did not see him for the last 7 years he will be missed.
