Before Madonna played Evita in the 1996 movie, Patti LuPone originated the role on Broadway in 1979. Yesterday, while the legendary actress was on Watch What Happens Live someone called in and asked her if Madge and her ever had a conversation about playing the same iconic role.
Lupone said that the two of them spoke only once and all the singer said to her was, “I’m taller than you.” Then Andy Cohen asked his guest what she thought of the taller actress in Evita. This is where it gets good, oh so very good. LuPone told him, “I was on the treadmill, you know when MTV had videos, right, and I saw I believe it was Bueno Aires and I thought it was a piece of sh!t.” Then she continued on, “Madonna is a movie killer. She is dead behind the eyes, she cannot act her way out of a paper bag, She should not be in film or on stage.” Don’t cry for Madonna because it is true. Did you see Swept Away? That is one of the worst movies ever made, like Top 5 worst movies ever made.
LuPone wasn’t all negative about her because she also said, “She is a wonderful performer for what she does, but she is not an actress. Bang!” Madonna definitely felt that bang, we felt that bang.
Ob la di, ob la da life goes on, and it goes on so much better thanks to LuPone’s brutal and accurate honesty. Can anyone deny that what she said isn’t the truth?
They performed over 800 songs on Glee over its 6 seasons, but which one was the one that Lea Michele hated to do the most? That is what Andy Cohen wanted to know on Watch What Happens Live yesterday. Was it Gangnam Style? She says it is when they did Ylvis’ The Fox (What does a Fox Say?) with puppets. I don’t know about you, but I enjoyed that one. There were so many other worse performances, which one still irks you?
When it comes to her favorites it is either Journey Don’t Stop Believin’ or Queen’s Need Somebody to Love. Both were two of the Fox show’s most iconic performance. Personally, I am surprised she didn’t go with Barbra Streisand’s Don’t Rain on My Parade, I thought that was her best solo out of them all.

Sarah Jessica Parker, her husband Matthew Broderick and her BFF Andy Cohen decided to go to the opening night of Hello Dolly together, but how to get there? Rent a limo? Nope, take the C train in from Brooklyn. Now we know what the C stands for…Celebrity. At least for those few minutes they were on it.
Since Keri Russell can’t sing, we sometimes forget she was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Thankfully, Andy Cohen didn’t forget and yesterday on Watch What Happens Live, he asked her to Shag, Marry, Kill Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. Which did she chose for each of her former male co-stars? Felicity said she would kill Chasez because he was her friend and he will understand. Will he? I wouldn’t.
Then she said, “Shag, Justin because he is a good dancer.” Finally settling to marry Ryan Gosling. Lamer than lame.
If each of those three guys played the same game, I bet they would all kill her because who doesn’t want to shag and marry Britney and X-Tina over her?
Back in the early ’80s, Rick Springfield was the hottest teen idol out there. He had huge hits like Jessie’s Girl and I’ve Done Everything for You and he was starring on General Hospital as Dr Noah Drake. So it should be no surprise that child actress Helen Hunt was mad about him like so many other girls her age.
Well the 19 year old was working on the same lot as him in 1982 and she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she left a note on his car windshield declaring her love. How did he respond? Let’s just say Don’t Talk to Strangers is not only one of his songs it is what he does.
Sadly, the Oscar winner never heard from her, but she was able to share that story almost 35 years later. I wonder how he will react when he hears this? He will probably say, “I hate myself.” Imagine what could’ve been if he would’ve acted on her affair of the heart?
