BAM and New York City Opera present

Anna Nicole
Composed by Mark-Anthony Turnage
Libretto by Richard Thomas
Directed by Richard Jones
Conducted by Steven Sloane

Anna Nicole was commissioned by the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London and premiered there in February 2011

“…an engrossing, outrageous, entertaining and, ultimately, deeply moving new opera.”
—The New York Times
 
In a brilliant marriage of lowbrow bawdiness and highbrow operatic craft, British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage and librettist Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer: The Opera) immortalize the tumultuous life of Anna Nicole Smith—stripper, playmate, and formidable tabloid queen.

Looking to each paparazzi-plagued chapter of the star’s story—the bombshell centerfold, the devastated mother, the unlikely wife of an 89-year-old billionaire—Anna Nicole captures a woman caught between greed and exploitation. Turnage’s vibrant, eclectic score (performed by the New York City Opera orchestra and chorus) and Thomas’ razor-sharp libretto drive this operatic portrait, at once comic and tragic, of modern celebrity and one woman’s warped pursuit of the American dream.

ANDY COHEN SAYS SHOVE IT RUSSIA!

 

 

 

Andy Cohen Drops Out of Hosting Miss Universe — Because of Russia

( GOOD FOR YOU ANDY & NOBODY WATCH IF THEY INSIST ON HAVING IT THERE-FUCKERS!)

8.15.2013

By Neal Broverman 

 

The Bravo host and executive will not host this year's Miss Universe event, which takes place in Russia. 
Andy Cohen, the host of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, has dropped out of co-hosting the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, saying he doesn't feel safe traveling to Russia as a gay man.

Reacting to the nation's recent antigay "propaganda" bill, Cohen told E! News, "Their discriminatory policies make it unsafe for the gays who live there and gays coming to work or visit... The law is that anyone under suspicion of homosexuality can be arrested. [I don't] feel right as a gay man stepping foot into Russia."

The Miss Universe pageant is scheduled for November 9 in Moscow. There is already a Change.org petition urging a change of venue, with over 25,000 supporters. Donald Trump, the owner of the Miss Universe pageant, has not commented on the petition.

THE MARILYN MONROE OF BURLESQUE DIES--86

Dixie Evans, 'Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque,' dies at 86

(IRONICALLY TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE REAL MARILYN MONROE'S DEATH IN 1962)


Mere days before a week of burlesque shows dedicated in her honor, Dixie Evans, the "Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque," has died. She was 86.
The former Helendale resident, who died on Saturday, had been recuperating in a Las Vegas assisted-living facility after she suffered a stroke earlier this year.
Dustin Wax, executive director of the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, said Evans was "profoundly important to the burlesque world, and we are deeply saddened by Dixie's death. The entire community (of burlesque) is hurting today."
The recent revival in burlesque often has been attributed to Evans.
The "beloved Godmother of the new burlesque movement" according to dixieevansweek.com was planning a week of celebrations honoring her contributions to the art and raising funds to aid in her recovery from a stroke in January.
Evans was born in Long Beach and rose to fame in burlesque with her parody and tribute performances to Marilyn Monroe. Baseball great Joe DiMaggio, who was once married to Monroe, is said to have attended Evans' performances.

MY EXPERIENCE AT "THE VIEW"


 

YESTERDAY WAS A FUN DAY; I WENT TO SEE  'THE VIEW".

SINCE I AM BEYOND PUNCTUAL, I ARRIVED IN LINE AT 7:30 AM. MY LETTER HAD ASKED WE BE THERE BY 9--LOL. I WAS THE 8TH PERSON IN LINE.

AFTER WAITING 15 YRS , I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD GREAT SEATS & I DID : FRONT ROW BY BARABRA WALTER'S CHAIR -4TH CHAIR IN--AWESOME! YOU CAN SEE ME IN YESTERDAY'S SHOW (JULY 9, 2013) IN LONG SHOTS. I'M WEARING A GRAY SUIT & A RED SHIRT.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE WAIT WAS EXTREMELY LONG-REALLY LONG!

I DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD REDEEM THEMSELVES BUT THEY DID. THE ENTIRE CHECK-IN STAFF WAS GREAT--ESP. THE AUDIENCE COORDINATORS. 

ONCE INSIDE THE TEMP WAS COLD IN THE STUDIO-PERFECT! IT WAS A HOT DAY OUTSIDE.
THEY GREETED US WITH CRANBERRY DRINKS & SWEET POTATO CHIPS.
THE MOOD WAS JUBILANT --EVERYONE WAS SMILING & EXCITED. THE STUDIO IS MUCH SMALLER THAN IT APPEARS ON TV ( SO WERE THE HOSTS & GUESTS--THIS I KINDA EXPECTED).

THE WARM UP GUY (TOM KELLY) WAS NOT ONLY ADORABLE--TOO BAD HE'S STRAIGHT- AND VERY FUNNY. IMMEDIATELY HE HAD US LAUGHING & DANCING.

THEN WE WENT ON AIR.

IMPRESSIONS OF HOSTS:

CO-HOST-CHIQUI RIVERA-DAUGHTER OF THE LATE & GREAT JENNI RIVERA, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL & ARTICULATE. SHE SPOKE EMOTIONALLY ABOUT HER MOM, THE PLANE CRASH, THEIR RAPES AND UPCOMING BOOK, "UNBREAKABLE"

BARBARA,  AT 83 YRS OLD, LOOKS GREAT FOR HER AGE (THE LAST TIME I MET HER WAS MANY, MANY YEARS AGO AT CARNEGIE HALL WHEN SHE TAP DANCED WITH GLORIA STEINEM-I KNOW, RIGHT?)

JOY LOOKS THE SAME, BUT SINCE I'VE MET HER THROUGHOUT HER CAREER I HAD A CLEARER IDEA OF WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE IN PERSON.

 WHOOPI GOLDBERG LOOKS THINNER & HAD KILLER SHOES, AS USUAL (SHE WAS THE MOST ENGAGING WITH THE AUDIENCE ON BREAKS- SHE DEF. CAME OFF AS THE MOST LIKABLE).

JOY WAS HYSTERICAL--WHEN I WATCHED THE SHOW BACK YOU CAN'T REALLY HEAR HER NON SEQUITURS UNDER HER BREATH--SHE WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO PERSONALLY WAVE HELLO.

BARBARA PERSONALLY THANKED THE AUDIENCE & HOPED THERE WOULD BE TIME FOR QUESTIONS FROM US--THERE WASN'T, UNFORTUNATELY.

 (WHILE OTHERS WERE MINDING THE COMIC DURING BREAKS I WAS TRANSFIXED WITH WAS GOING ON ON STAGE & WALTERS WAS THE MOST CONCERNED TECHNICALLY WITH TIME & OTHER DETAILS-JOY LEFT TWICE TO TEXT/PEE/WHO KNOWS?).

I MISSED BIBLE-THUMPING SHERRI-SHE HAD A DAY OFF- BECAUSE SHE IS SO DAMN FUNNY!

ELISABETH HASSELBACK DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE OR TRY TO  ENGAGE AT ALL-SHE CAME OFF AS A SNOB. TODAY I READ SHE IS LEAVING THE SHOW TO JOIN "FOX (FAUX) NEWS"--MAYBE SHE WAS PREOCCUPIED WITH THAT--BUT REALLY, NOT A WAVE? SCREW YOU! SHE WAS DRESSED NICELY & HAS KILLER LEGS BUT IS RAIL THIN--TOO THIN FOR MY TASTE. IRONICALLY, SHE ANNOUNCED LATE YESTERDAY ABOUT HER MOVE TO FOX BUT RUMORS HAVE IT THAT SHE WAS FIRED A FEW MONTHS BACK BY WALTERS--GOOD MOVE BARBARA, THOUGH I DO THINK A CONSERVATIVE POINT OF VIEW IS NEEDED IN THIS FORMAT.

 NOW 3 SPOTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER;  THE NAMES BEING THROWN AROUND ARE BROOKE SHIELDS & JENNY MCCARTHY AS REPLACEMENTS.

THE GUESTS:
ANDREA SYRTASH & JEFF WILSER SPOKE ABOUT THEIR DATING BOOK (THE AUDIENCE WENT HOME WITH IT). JEFF DANIELS TALKING ABOUT HIS CAREER (WE GOT SEASON 1 OF "THE NEWSROOM"). THE STUNNING BERNADETTE PETERS WAS THERE TO PROMOTE THIS WEEKEND'S "BROADWAY BARKS" TO ADOPT PETS IN THE THEATER DISTRICT THIS SAT FROM 2:30-6:30 AT SHUBERT ALLEY. SHE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY ADORABLE, ADOPTABLE DOGS--OMG! SHE WAS VERY SWEET TO US AFTER THE SHOW AS WELL. SHE LOOKS AS HOT AS EVER!

I RATE THIS & "ANDERSON" AS THE MOST FUN SHOWS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO, FOLLOWED BY "THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW". ELISABETH REMINDS ME OF HOW DISGUSTED I WAS WHEN GERALDO RIVERA HAD HIS SHOW & HOW WOODEN & DISENGAGING HE WAS TO HIS AUDIENCE--THEY ARE OF THE SAME ILK. DON'T THEY KNOW WITHOUT AN AUDIENCE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A CAREER? IDIOTS!

 SOME WAITING IN LINE WERE RUMORING  THAT TYRA BANKS PUTS HER HEAD DOWN ON BREAKS NOT TO LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE--WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?. A REPORTER I KNOW HAD LUNCH WITH HER & SHE TOOK HIM TO ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS IN NYC & MADE HIM PAY THE BILL--HE THOUGHT SHE WOULD. AFTER ALL, SHE'S LOADED, HE ISN'T. IT WASN'T EVEN FOR HIM TO GET A STORY.

MOST STAND-BYS GET IN "THE VIEW" NOW (HARDER IN THE FALL)---GET THERE EARLY OR SEND IN FOR TIX. THE WAIT IS ABOUT 2YRS OR LESS.
 ______________________________________________________
UPDATE: (JULY 15, 2013):

Done deal: Jenny McCarthy is joining The View.
The comedian-actress will fill one of the open slots on ABC’s popular daytime talk show this fall.
Longtime The View fans already have some sense of what she’s like on the panel. McCarthy, has made 17 previous appearances on the show, including eight as a guest co-host. For months the media has speculated that McCarthy is likely to fill a vacancy on the show.
The View saw the departure of longtime co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck last week to Fox News, while Joy Behar will leave next month. Founding co-host Barbara Walters has announced she will leave the show next summer, but will remain on the show as a producer.

"STEFON" (BILL HADER) LEAVES SNL...WTF?



 
UPDATE: MAY 29, 2013--HADER WILL HOST A SHOW ON THE TCM NETWORK CALLED "TCM'S ESSENTIAL JR." TO INTRODUCE CLASSIC MOVIES TO CHILDREN...GREAT!

The Brilliant Bill Hader to Leave ‘Saturday Night Live’


"With just one departure, “Saturday Night Live” is losing its excitable “Weekend Update” city correspondent, Stefon; its frenetic incarnations of James Carville, Al Pacino, Vincent Price and Julian Assange; and any number of unctuous, self-satisfied game show hosts.
 NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..lol
All of which is to say that Bill Hader, an eight-year veteran of “Saturday Night Live,” will be leaving that NBC late-night franchise when its season ends on Saturday.
“It was a hard decision, but it has to happen at some point,” Mr. Hader said in an interview. “It got to a point where I said, ‘Maybe it’s just time to go.’ ” 

Mr. Hader, 34, joined “SNL” as a featured performer in the fall of 2005 and was promoted to a full cast member the following year. He quickly became known for his offbeat celebrity impersonations, as well as portrayals of original characters like Stefon, a breathless aficionado of obscure New York nightclubs, and Vinny Vedecci, an Italian talk show host.." 


ON A MORE DEPRESSING NEWS--WE HAVE TO STOMACH THE ALWAYS ANNOYING KANYE WEST TO SEE HADER'S FINAL APPEARANCE ON SNL THIS COMING WEEKEND. KANYE THIS WEEK (BEING THE SPOILED-OVERRATED CELEBRITY HE CONTINUES TO BE--GOOD LUCK, KIM K.-SOUNDS LIKE A HORRIBLE FUTURE DAD)

This weekend, Ben Affleck is scheduled to host “Saturday Night Live” for the fifth time. Affleck’s appearance is competing with other big SNL stories though, including cast members leaving and Kanye West going off on a rant on the show before his appearance as a musical guest.
 West performed Wednesday night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City for Adult Swim’s upfront presentation, and he had some unkind words about the idea of participating in any SNL skits this weekend.

“[I had a friend ask me, ‘Are you gonna go on] SNL and you’re going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and shit and like humanize yourself?’ I ain’t here to apologize to no motherf---ers man,” West reportedly said, according to Complex.

“Hell nah I ain’t doing no motherf---ing SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain’t no motherf---ing joke. That’s it. Stop that s--- right there.”

  This isn’t the first time West has dissed SNL — he did it in his 2010 single “Power”-WHY DO THEY KEEP HAVING HIM BACK--YUK! DISGUSTING!

LEAVING AS WELL IS SETH MEYERS--TOO BAD.
THEY BETTER KEEP BOBBY MOYNIHAN--HE'S HYSTERICAL!

 


AND WHY DO THEY KEEP KENAN THOMPSON? HE'S ALWAYS THE SAME--NO RANGE AT ALL ( I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY NEEDED THE TOKEN BLACK GUY FOR SKITS INVOLVING AFRICAN AMERICANS--ONLY RECENTLY DID THEY HIRE, JAY PHAROAH
WHO'S GREAT AS OBAMA & REALLY HAS RANGE).

"AMERICAN IDOL"---SEASON 12

HERE WE GO--NOT AGAIN...?

I HOPE I HAVE THE PATIENCE TO PUT UP WITH ALL THE "DIVA-NESS" THIS SEASON.

SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL MARIAH CAREY & NICKI MINAJ THAT THE SHOW IS NOT, NOT, NOT ABOUT THEM!!!
PLEASE SEND THEM THE MEMO ASAP...
(ACCORDING TO "ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY", IDOL'S RATINGS CONTINUE TO PLUMMET).
THIS IS THE WORSE COMBINATION OF JUDGES YET. JLO WE MISS YOU!

IN PAST SEASONS:

 WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO BELOW AVERAGE CONTESTANTS WHERE WE WONDERED "OK WHICH ONE IS NOT SOOOO BAD?'.

OR

 WE HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO  HAVE SEEN SO MANY POTENTIAL SUPERSTARS THAT WE WONDERED, HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE BEST FROM THIS CREAM OF THE CROP?.

BUT ALWAYS-ALWAYS- IT WAS ABOUT THE CONTESTANTS.
 EVEN PAULA ABDUL'S RAMBLINGS & GAFFES WERE "My old aunt got drunk at the party again" BY NATURE.
THE CLOSEST THING RESEMBLING  THIS SEASON'S OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR WAS SIMON COWELL; AND FRANKLY, I'D RATHER BE SITTING BETWEEN HIM & HIS ENORMOUS EGO THAN BETWEEN THESE TWO (UHUM) LADIES.

(TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SIGNIFICANCE & VALUE OF THE EDITING PROCESS IN ALL THESE REALITY SHOWS. BEFORE "IDOL" EVEN  PREMIERED, THE BUZZ AND ENDLESS CLIPS OF CAREY & MINAJ  AT EACH OTHER'S THROAT HAD MANY PERCHED TO  WATCH, JUST TO SEE WHEN THESE TWO WILL BITCH SLAP EACH OTHER.  NOW THAT'S AN EDITING JOB I'D LIKE TO SEE).

DAY 1:
--MARIAH CAME OFF AS THE DIVA SHE CLAIMS NOT TO BE. ONE MORE "DAHLING" OR SICKENING HISTRIONIC AND I WAS READY TO SNAP. I KEPT HOPING SOMEONE WOULD PULL OUT HER EXTENTIONS ONE BY ONE---PAINFULLY!
--RANDY (THE "DAWG"--BARF!) WAS TRYING TO CHANNEL SIMON. I GUESS HE FEELS IT'S THE JOB OF THE ELDER STATESMAN OF THE GROUP.
--KEITH URBAN WAS BEIGE (NEVER A COMPLIMENT FROM A GAY MAN) --SURPRISINGLY NICKI WAS THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE WHEN SHE WASN'T ADJUSTING HER BOZO WIG.
BUT AT THE END OF THIS LONG 2 HOURS I WANTED TO POKE MY SLEEPY EYES OUT WITH A SHARP FORK!

DAY 2:
THINGS DID A COMPLETE 180. FOR ONE THING THE 2 HOURS DIDN'T SEEM LIKE 4. --MARIAH HAD AT LEAST ONE LEG OFF HER HIGH HORSE AND WAS ACTUALLY HUMAN (HAS ANYONE CHECKED?) SHE WAS THE KIND & POLITE ONE.
HOWEVER,  MINAJ WAS THE BIGGEST ATTENTION SEEKER SINCE LIBERACE --WITHOUT THE FUNNY CAMP OR TALENT. I HOWLED WHEN ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS CUT MINAJ OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF HER LIVING IN THE "NICKI" SHOW MOMENT TO GIVE CAREY A HEARTFELT COMPLIMENT. IT MUST OF KNOCKED HER THIRD SET OF EYELASHES OFF; OR CRACK THE MIRROR SHE  CONSTANTLY KEEPS IN HER HAND TO SMITHEREENS.
--RANDY WAS STILL CHANNELING SIMON (I GUESS WE'RE STUCK WITH THAT).
-- THE WINNER WAS ACTUALLY KEITH URBAN. HE WAS SINCERE AND HIS SPECIFIC CRITIQUES OF THE CONTESTANTS WERE ON POINT. HE EVEN SHOWED A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HARMLESS SARCASM & SENSE OF HUMOR.

GOD HELP US ALL!

FINALLY MY CONTESTANTS HIGHLIGHTS:

MANY GREAT BACK STORIES-AGAIN. YES I CRIED--F U !

1.OF COURSE THE VIRAL WORLD HAS FOCUSED ON THE GORGEOUS, CUBAN STUTTERER FROM FLORIDA, LAZARO ARBOS. HE DOES NOT STUTTER WHEN HE SINGS -PUT HIM IN THE TOP 10 NOW! HE "WAS" FLAWLESS IN HIS RENDITION OF "BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER".

2.THE AMAZING YOUNG WOMAN WHO ARMED HERSELF WITH CHARMING CHUTZPAH  WHEN SHE ASKED TO DUET "BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE" WITH KEITH URBAN.

3. ANOTHER YOUNG WOMAN, BRANDY, AND HER RENDITION OF "YOUR CHEATIN' HEART".

4. CURTIS FINCH, JR. HAS A VOCAL RANGE WHICH I CAN ONLY COMPARE TO WITH WHITNEY HOUSTON--YES THAT GOOD!

5. FROM NY-DAY 1-THE HIGHLY TALENTED FELICIANO GIRL- WHOSE FAMILY ADOPTS SICK ORPHANS.

6. THE QUIRKY ANDROGYNOUS STREET PERFORMER, KASBAN, WHO SANG "PINOCCHIO" (I KNOW, RIGHT?)  AND A HEART WRENTCHING ORIGINAL SONG W/ HER PERFECT GUITAR ACCOMPANIMENT.

 7.CHARLIE ASKEW-THE PUREST VOICE YET--GOOSE PIMPLES! WOW! HE WILL BE A STAR!

FINALLY:

8. MY FAVORITE BACK STORY AND PART OF THE NIGHT, (BESIDES THE MULTIPLE EYE CANDY FROM CHICAGO & ITS NEIGHBORING STATES, DAMN THOSE MID-WESTERN BOYS--WHEW!!!), WAS THE GIRL BATTLING ANOREXIA (GET THE KLEENEX).
SHE SANG LIKE AN ANGEL AND LEFT IT ALL ON THE STAGE. HER SOUL IS PURE AND HER VOICE A GIFT TO ALL OF US.
 HERE I GOTTA GIVE IT TO MINAJ WHEN SHE SAID THAT SHE AND OTHERS LIFTED "US"--TRUE THAT!

SO YOU SEE I WILL STILL WATCH FOR THE ABOVE 8 REASONS AND THOSE STILL LEFT TO ADMIRE.
BUT MAN I NEED TO MEDITATE TO DEAL WITH THE THE BUZZING FLIES SURROUNDING THE JUDGES TABLE.

WISH ME LUCK!

TWO "IDOL"UPDATE(FEBRUARY 1, 2013):
1--------JUST LIKE LAST SEASON ON AGT, ANOTHER CONTESTANT LIES & IN A MORE DESPICABLE WAY:
It was Matthew Farmer's heartbreaking tale of his service in Iraq as much as his vocal prowess that impressed the "American Idol" judges on Wednesday night.
Now Farmer admits that his claim of a traumatic brain injury from an IED explosion in Iraq was false.
"It was all lies," Farmer, 26, confessed on Guardians of Valor.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF HE BROUGHT IN HIS ADORABLE DAUGHTER--MORE PITY POINTS I'M GUESSING ---TOO BAD YOU'RE ONLY BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE!!! SHAME ON YOU! GET HELP!!!

'American Idol' drops again: How low will the ratings go?

When Idol numbers dipped after the show moved from auditions to the Hollywood rounds, that was also to be expected too — the reality veteran’s ratings tend to sag during the middle portion of its run every year.
But Idol is dropping nearly every week and last night was down 50 percent from its Thursday night premiere this season … and that’s scary.
