Taye Diggs wanted to make an entrance on Ellen, and boy did he make one today that will be very hard to top. And I do mean hard! The actor came out doing aerobics to Olivia Newton-John’s Physical in a one-piece spandex leotard, and we could hear his body talk. So much so, our bodies are talking back and saying schwing!
Seriously, didn’t that grand entrance make you happy? What is it about watching aerobics that makes you happy? Doing that exercise is a completely different story!
Back in 2003, Idina Menzel married Taye Diggs, her co-star from the Broadway version of Rent. This weekend, she married another Rent co-star, but this time from the 2005 movie. Aaron Lohr and her tied the knot at their house as her father and 8-year-old son, Walker Nathaniel Diggs, walked her down the aisle. The actress described the nuptials as, “It was magical.” If anyone would know, it would be a Disney Queen.
Lohr and Menzel started dating 10 years after they made Rent, and got engaged almost exactly a year before they said I do.
In less that 525,600 minutes Fox will be adapting Rent for the small screen with a live version sometime next season. The Broadway musical is about AIDS, drugs, homosexuality and being as free as you can before the turn of the millennium in NYC. I just don’t know how they are going to do it for broadcast TV and keep the feel that the late Jonathan Larson was going for, you know La Vie Bohème, even though his estate gave their blessing for the production.
The only way I would approve of it, is if they get the original cast members to do it. But instead they will go with cast members from Glee. No one can see One Song Glory like Adam Pascal. His voice was made for Rent.
Now, I thought I would hate Grease Live, but I enjoyed it. I knew I would detest Rocky Horror Picture Show and I am still flipping mad over it. And not in a Dr. Frank-N-Furter way. Well kind of like how he felt towards Eddie sort of way.
Anyways, I will try to be positive, but Rent is one my favorite plays and I just don’t have enough faith in them to get it right. How do you feel about them doing Rent?
Gina Rodriguez was on The Late Late Show yesterday and James Corden wanted to know if strangers come up to the Jane the Virgin star to talk about how they lost her virginity. They do.
She wanted to see if the CBS late night would tell how he lost his, but he had the best way of getting out of that confession. His parents were at the taping. Since Idina Menzel’s were not, she coughed up to how she had her cherry was popped. She gave it up to a boy she had been dating for a long time in her parents’ bed. She wonders if that was a bad thing. That and if all the little Elsas were asleep because they shouldn’t know how she let it go.
Almost every night since Jimmy Kimmel Live started, the late night host apologizes to Matt Damon because he ran out of time and can’t have him on the show that night or any night. For the last 13 years, we have wondered if Jason Bourne is really there waiting to go on. Last night we got that answer and it is yes.
When Idina Menzel nervously told the Kimmel that she has a crush on his arch nemesis and feared that he hated her in Wicked, the ABC talk show went live from his dressing room, where he has been housed for over a decade, to get the facts straight. Just as Damon was giving his side of the story, Kimmel informed him they ran out of time.
Maybe tomorrow, we will learn more. That is unless they run out of time for him yet again.
