Hey Mama Welcome To The 70's?

New Line Cinema has made a deal with "Hairspray" creator John Waters to write a treatment for a sequel to summer 2007’s hit musical feature. Planning to return are director-choreographer Adam Shankman, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron and Tony-winning songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who will write new songs for the film. No cast has been engaged yet, and none of the stars of "Hairspray" had sequel options. But the studio hopes to reunite the original cast in a film that will be ready for release by Warner Bros. in mid-July 2010. Aim is to pick up the Baltimore saga of the Turnblad family after the resolution of the first film, which was set in 1962. "I never thought of musicals as franchises, but it certainly worked with ‘High School Musical,’ and the idea of working with that cast again, and creating new material and music, is a dream come true," Shankman told Daily Variety. "John (Waters) has such an original and extraordinary voice; we all can’t wait to see what he has come up with." There (More Inside)

RE: Obama will win it all

It could be the best thing ever for the Republican Party if they lose and lose big. I mean almost total annihilation.

There's currently a lot of frustration amongst where the party is going with young Republicans. If there is a mass purge of the old guard (by voting them out), something better might eventually come out of it.

Unfortunately, I don't think the Republican Party will ever be good enough for what we could reasonably want out of them but since they will inevitably be back in power one day, if we can at least have some of the worst homophobic, misogynistic and hatred of the poor elements knocked off them, that would be a start.

Alanis And The Pope

The faces of Vatican cardinals were left as red after realizing Alanis Morissette had understood every word they'd said about her after she met the pope. The singer met the pontiff in Rome in 2000, but some French clergymen ruined the magical experience. Morissette says the problems occurred as she left the stage after meeting the pope, and did not know whether to walk in front of cardinals or not. She explains, "I'm post-Catholic; I don't know how it works anymore, so there was this awkward moment and I walked in front of them. "They were all French and they were speaking about me behind me, saying how rude and horrible I was. "I speak French, so I bit my tongue the whole way out and they were just ripping me apart, and then right at the tail end. ... I just turned back and spoke to them in French and said, 'Thank you so much for your kindness.'" (sfgate.com)

Note for R7: in the school district where I taught, it is a no-no. You could dare the principal to challenge you, but the school board would fire you and they'd win your suit against them in court. Many large companies forbid all sexually explicit (or suggestive), political, religious, or even shopping sites and have software patrolling for it. My present company is heavily involved in internet delivery of services in a very high level of security. Any personal use is considered an abuse of the band width.

RE: Ottawa Woman Upset Because Her Ferret is Banned from Buses

Transit company pulls a reverse ferret

A disgruntled transit rider is fighting to have her pet ferret's bus pass reinstated.

Frances Woodard, 54, suffers from agoraphobia, anxiety and panic attacks that make it extremely difficult for her to go out in public -- unless she's with her 3-year-old albino ferret, Gyno (pronounced Gino).

But OC Transpo, Ottawa's public transit authority, took Gyno's pass away in April.

"He grounds me. It's like he senses I'm going into a panic, and the petting and stroking calms me down. It gives me something to focus on other than the panic," she said.

Last fall, Woodard said, she bought the proper pass to allow her to take a ferret on public transit as a working animal. She still has the plastic transit pass bearing a picture of her holding up her ferret next to a green box that reads "Assist - Customer entitled to a service animal."

"It gave me such a change. A feeling of freedom," she said of the time she was allowed to take Gyno on the bus.

**OFFICIAL** DINNER THEATER MEMORIES/GOSSIP/DISH THREAD!!!

In 1973 I worked at the Chateau DeVille dinner theater chain in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in THE SOUND OF MUSIC starring Erik (Eric cigars commercials) Silju as Georg. Dean Dittman (Max) was a perv who hung around backstage in his underwear, hoping to attract some male attention. At the same time we were performing in Framingham, Mass. Betty Hutton was doing ANYTHING GOES at the Warwick, R.I. theater having a nervous breakdown onstage, leading her to a rectory nearby for many years.

Any other stories?
