"I don't know how I will do but here goes."

I couldn't get through that second line.


And I hope she's got permission to use that registered term of 'OSCARS' on her site.

I'd hate to see her shut down.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 2/26/11 at 10:59pm

I'm afraid i had to report her to AMPAS.

[Mildred Plotka]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 1:34am

Julie Halston for Best Actress. Harvey Fierstein for Best Actor. The Bad Idea Bears for Best Supporting Actor and Actress.

FYI I still have the infamous John Kander interview. Managed to save it before it was taken down. Like any classic it deserves to be revisited.

[alliez92092]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 4:18pm

I just...wow. Corine always manages to outdo herself.

And Dame, please post the interview! I could do for a good laugh.

[Dollypop]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 4:20pm

Yes, DAME, please do!

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 5:55pm

Does she have live red carpet coverage on her site? I don't see anything there and it's about to start!!!

[DAME]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 5:59pm

It is on my hard drive. Have to upload it. Will do it soon. It is all in the timing you know.

[Dollypop]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 6:52pm

I don't want to rush you Dame, but RUSH!

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 6:55pm

That interview is like Sophie's Choice. It's incredible and everyone should see it but it's so disturbing, I couldn't watch it twice.

[Dollypop]

Posted: 2/27/11 at 7:02pm

We'll all be eating our words when Corine replaces Regis.

CORINE AND KELLY!

[wexy]

Posted: 2/28/11 at 11:11am

I still haven't recovered from being unfriended...

[Dollypop]

Posted: 2/28/11 at 3:15pm

Has anyone bothered to tally how many of her "picks" became winners?

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Posted: 6/15/11 at 9:41pm

Not sure who Corine is, but I'm intrigued by this John Kander interview...did it ever materialise?

[Dollypop]

Posted: 6/15/11 at 10:18pm

Oh yes, it materialized, but once it was posted here at BWW, people justifiably tore it to shreds. It has since diappeared from the internet.

I'll never forget the look on Kander's face when Corine kept giving the wrong name of a performer even after Kander gently corrected her.

[paradox_error]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 5:01am

It's time for it to re-materialise! I need to see this!

[tazber]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 7:09am

Coco is annoying, but she does on the rare occasion ask decent questions to her interviewees.

The Kander interview was just so embarrassing though. He was very gracious to Coco despite the fact that she clearly had done zero research when preparing her questions (assuming she even prepared any questions before hand).

What made you search for this thread Jay Lerner-Z?

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 8:57am

tazber, I was searching for something else entirely and somehow stumbled upon this. Being a devotee of Kander and Ebb, my curiosity was piqued!

[Dollypop]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 6:19pm

To give you an idea of how gifted Corine is as a writer, here's an article she did for BWW. Oddly, her name has been removed from the bi-line.

Is the John Kander interview the one where she refers to 'Scottsboro' as being the FIRST K&E collaboration, or is that another one? Oy.

[Dollypop]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 11:18pm

Who was the singer whose name Coco flubbed? Kander corrected her and she came out with the wrong name a second time!

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 11:33pm

Bertha Klitt?

[jv92]

Posted: 6/16/11 at 11:36pm

Oh yes! I remember that one! She completely massacred Eartha Kitt's name!

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 6/17/11 at 12:30am

She called her Aretha Kitt, didn't she?
