I have got to give major props to Melissa Etheridge whom I just saw on TV tonight on the Red Carpet on E! She was there being interviewed by Star Jones - BALD! She is done with her chemo treatments and looking healthy. I have to give her lots of credit for opting against a wig. GOOD FOR HER!

Posted: 2/13/05 at 8:16pmdon't worry RENT, I had no idea either.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Posted: 2/13/05 at 10:21pmI am not as big of a fan as my partner is, but I have to say, I was very impressed with Melissa's stage presence and performance during the Janis Joplin tribute tonight. No offense to any Joss Stone fans, but in my personal opinion, Joss should have not shared the stage for this piece. Her voice is VERY different than Melissa's and not "hard" enough for Janis songs. Melissa's voice was a perfect fit for a Joplin tribute. Oh well.

Posted: 2/14/05 at 3:12amWe gave up on the Grammy's YEARS ago - but reading the recaps in the news made me wish I had seen this part anyway. Good luck to her - she deserves to be well, and the world is a better place with her in it.

It was indeed a BEAUTIFUL thing she did. On so many levels. I bet she made millions of women who have dealt with cancer proud--maybe even feel stronger.
And that performance was fierce.

Posted: 2/14/05 at 3:16amI had known Melissa Etheridge battled cancer last year but it was still amazing to see her walking out on stage as ballsy as ever and as beautiful as ever. I've heard her sing that Janis song live in concert before but tonight she seemed even more into it. For me, that was the performance of the night!

When my friend Marjorie Gross had cancer she never wore a wig. Well, except for the multi colour clown one...
She said the bald head was real good to get u bumped up to the head of a line!

Posted: 2/14/05 at 1:24pmMelissa sang the heck out of "Piece of My Heart". It was one of the highlights of the evening! Janis would have been proud.
