entertainment news

Big day in the entertainment news area! Lance isn't going to space, JC might be going to Broadway, Brandy is pregnant, Roger Ebert is having another tumor removed, and Kerr Smith and James Van Der Beek are getting married. (Um, not to each other. <.g>) I haven't read this many entertainment articles in a long time. LOL

But yeah...I feel bad for Lance. He *seems to be the shy, happy to be the background type, but the boy just can't stop trying to get attention. And he may not be the rather girlish looking geek from high school who got made fun of anymore, but he's still getting made fun of. On an international scale. <.g> It's gotta suck. : ( (But Miggie, there are still some prime fic opportunities to be had! Hurt/Comfort, anyone? <.g>)

And I am SO hoping that JC really does do Rent on Broadway this summer. I've been dying to see that for years now, and I was so sad that I missed it this fall when it came to Champaign. I would definitely take a birthday trip to NYC with Erin to see him perform! Actually, I'd probably go with Erin to see Rent with or without JC. LOL Hey, question...is Rent, like, based on anything? A play or real life, or whatever? Just curious.

My big surprise of the day....Kerr Smith is 29 years old! I guess I really am bad with ages, because I didn't think he was that old. I thought he was about 23 or so, honestly. Shows how much I know. <.g> But he really doesn't look much older than Josh Jackson, who is 22. Huh. Oh, well. LOL

I have gotten NOTHING done today. Literally. I read a Xena fic. Or two. And took a nap. And that's it. <.sigh> Way to keep up with my list. I am gonna at least start the MASA thing, though. I was going to e-mail a friend of mine to see if I could interview her or her husband about being Muslim, for EdPsych, but then I realized that part two is going to an activity with them. Fabulous. How does someone in IL go somewhere with people from Maryland? It doesn't work. Is there anyone who reads this near UIUC and different from me? LOL The assignment is to interview people different from us. Oh, or you can be from farther away and volunteer to help me make up one page about an activity we ostensibly did together. <.g> I'm flexible that way.

Well, I better go and see what else I can get done today. I'm still sleepy, though, although the nap took the edge off of the headache. But I'm still blurry in my head. <.g> I think it's another early to bed night.

I believe Rent is somewhat based on Jonathan Larson's (the guy who wrote it) life. Sadly, he died RIGHT before Rent opened for real. A week before, or something. He never got to see his "baby" take off. And I think the official Rent site is www.siteforrent.com. =)

those wb actors just are deceiving in age, aren't they? :)

Thanks for the link, Kate! Turns out it's based on La Boheme. : )

And YES, they are! LOL I still can't believe Charisma is 30. *g* It's not like I think they're teenagers or in their early 20s like they play, but I also never think they're in their 30s. LOL
