Idina Menzel is having an interesting year. First, John Travolta mispronounced her name as the Oscars and yesterday she had a wardrobe malfunction while she was performing at Radio City Music Hall. Just as she was about to start singing Take Me or Leave Me from Rent, her boob decided to leave her dress. The audience told what was happening and she handled it perfectly. Once her boob was back in its place she told the crowd, “Well f*ck it, they’re real!” And that real reaction is why we love Adele Dazeem, I mean, Idina Menzel so much.
I’ve said this before and I will say it again. I am happy she is finally getting the press she deserves because she sincerely is one very talented lady.
Before Taye Diggs was a homicide detective on Murder in the First, he was visited by one on New York Undercover. How cute was the 25 year old in that 1996 episode?

Rosario Dawson and Katie Couric both showed up to the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday in off white lace dresses and I can’t decide who wore the over-sized doilies better? Do you prefer the newsanchor’s floor-length gown or the Rent star’s knee-length one? Or do you think both wash them out and make them look duller than Katie’s now cancelled daytime show? I think the latter!
On Saturday night, the cast of If/Then, that includes two castmembers from Rent’s original Broadway lineup, sang the song Seasons of Love to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Idina Menzel and Anthony Rapp raised $8,000 for the charity and along with their new castmates recaptured our hearts with the defining song.
Even though it has been 18 years since we first heard that tune, it is still just as timeless and it will never age. Even if it keeps counting the seconds in the year.
Ever since the Oscars, everyone has wanted to know what Idina Menzel thought of John Travolta introducing her as Adele Dazeem. Well, Billboard finally asked her about it and she told them she Let It Go. Actually what she said was that leading up to her performance she was very Zen and focused, that is until he botched up her name. His screw up threw her for a loop, but then she remembered when she was and got back on track singing the track. So what happened after the Oscars? She said that, “He was really gracious and sent this gorgeous email, and we’re buddies and it’s all cool.” Does she hold any resentment towards him? Nope, she also said, “Please. I mean, I’ve only benefited from it.”
That is so true, ever since the Oscars everyone knows her name, Adele Dazeem, I mean, Idina Menzel!
