Theater died when Norman Mailer began writing plays.

Technically, Lionel Richie got his money the old-fashioned way: he earned it.

@She Blinded Me With Omniscience: But, for Lionel, it came so Easy Like Sunday Morning

One can only hope for a re-play of the Iroquois Theater Fire, but without all the deaths, before she goes on.

At least she's DOING something. Putting her ass on a stage and performing is almost like having a job. I'm so sick of these celebrities who are just celebutards, who have no real careers whatsoever.

Wasn't she in Rent a while back too?

She has no talent, Say You. Say Me give her a break.

I can't even think I am so mesmerized by those highlights.

If she turns sideways, she won't even be visible from the cheap seats in the mezzanine.

But...she's not an actress.

@fiveinchtaint: nor a singer nor a dancer...can't wait for James Lipton to have her on! He will be sitting with one blue index card and a whole lotta nuthin!

Since when was the word "talent" changed in Webster's dictionary to allow such a travesty?

she'll follow this up with the reprise of Evil Dead: The Musical. I hope and pray, i do.

ugh vomit. this is why talented nobody's like myself cannot get roles anywhere near broadway... they're all taken up by moneymaker psuedo-celebs.

I saw the Broadway production a couple of years ago-it was terrible. At least there will be an actor someone has heard of in the show. The tour about a decade ago or so was much better.

Mrs. Cellophane?

Thanks, Middle America, for buying tickets to see talent-free folks like this ruin Broadway's greatest.

if this makes Paris choke w/ envy, it's all right w/me

@minx:

Shhhh.... the Weismans will hear you and invite Ms. Hilton to play Velma.

It's funny because "Chicago" is about how fame is ridiculous.

I'm going to weep softly into my Bob Fosse biography for a while.

Sigh.

With glasses that big, she must be just on the verge of blindness. Will she be able to read the script?
