    Two Stars Have Turned Down Annie And One Was Turned Away!

    The producers of the upcoming Annie revival know that whoever plays the mean orphanage lady Miss Hannigan has to be even more memorable than fright wigs and eyes without pupils.

    I'm Up For A Grammy Award!

    ​As you'll recall, I'm in TV on the Radio's video for Nine Types of Light. I brilliantly played a hapless janitor, Carol Burnett-style, thanks to filmmakers Amy Davis and Jon Mortisugu, who cast me with a mop in mind and also nabbed Murray Hill to play the nightclub MC. And it's up for the G ... More >>

    Celebs Who Are Only Children: Here's The List

    I always assumed I was the only Italian-American only child in creation -- those people tend to procreate a lot -- but it turns out Al Pacino is one, too! I'm not alone!

    By The Way, Meet Vera Stark: My Review

    ​I recently turned on TCM and caught a wildly campy Civil War epic called Band of Angels, with Yvonne De Carlo as a Southern belle who finds out she's part black and ain't happy about it! I wonder if Pulitzer winning playwright Lynn Nottage (Ruined) saw it, because her new work deals with jus ... More >>

    I Had My Dream Role in A Music Video

    The second I was asked to be in a music video for TV on the Radio's song "No Future Shock," I did a little Google search and squealed, "Yes!" OMG, the Brooklyn band is huge -- in fact, they're headlining Radio City in April!

    Charo Disses International Pop Sensation! Ay, Caramba!

    charo.com​ Charo is the Spanish singer/guitarist who cuchi-cuchied (and shed) all over The Love Boat and who, after many decades living in this country, still speaks English with an accent thicker than a Meryl Streep character's. It's part of her shtick, and she's muy delightful at it. But ... More >>

    Who Should Host Saturday Night Live?
