Whatever happened to "The Bodyguard" coming to the Marquis?

"I literally just laughed my ass off!"

I hope we're all hearing that with the requisite glottal fry.

"I hope we're all hearing that with the requisite glottal fry."

What are you trying to say?

I'm literally sitting here crapping myself laughing so hard that I'm literally inlcontanent now and literally rolling around in my own feces.

Ok so laughing my ass off has nothing to do with crapping and rolling around in it. Its just a saying. I guess I've lived now not to say anything that can be twisted into something totally different on this website anymore because someone will certainly give it a new meaning.

Well, if it's just a saying, you couldn't have been "literally" doing it. That is the complete opposite of what the word "literally" means. People will give you less of a hard time if you sound like you know what you're talking about just a bit.

I put literally, so what? I cannot believe that all of you are making such a big deal about this. You know what, to make you all happy I will delete the word literally. Would that make things better?

I literally died laughing when I read your replies.

"I literally died laughing when I read your replies."

Ok.

What ever happened to Deborah Wilson?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/23/14 at 12:42am

she literally hasn't done much that I've seen. And I literally miss her so much, that I I die a little bit every time I think about her.

Ugh. I would literally kill for some Ben & Jerrys right now.

You only figuratively die a little though, fortch.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 7/23/14 at 12:48am

Figuratively, your statement makes literally no sense.

Why are you guys obsessing over this? It was a mistake. Have you ever made a mistake before? I put literally where it shouldn't have been. I'm sorry. But it doesn't call for you to act like children and make fun of me for it. Seriously, where do you guys get off with this? It was one word.

I literally get off with this.

Her Oprah impressions were epic.

And how I loved Banifah Latifah Sharifah Halifah Jackson.

So many people on that show deserve I be a hell of a lot more famous than they are.

I absolutely love Deborah Wilson! I miss her acting, voice, and her on point impersonations! My favorite is her Oscar performance of "Little Nicky", and the MTV program with Bobby Brown. Bunifa was one of my favorite characters on the show too, especially the burger spot skit and the one with Regis. I really wanted her to play Whitney in a film (or musical), but she said she will never do a impression of her again...

Can they use this song too?

Who will win the Best Featured Actress in a Musical Tony for playing Mariah Carey in the Whitney Houston Musical Biopic?

Seriously though, they have to write a new song for the show called "Crack is Whack".

For a bio to really work, we have to learn something we didn't already know or at least have a different POV. We know the Whitney Houston public story.

But what about her relationships with women? Robin and others...? After disasterously telling Robin she has to move out of the house because Whitney has to appear straight, we could get I Will Always Love You solo in a pin spot, and we would know all that follows is downhill and ending in tragedy. We don't have to see it.

Of course the Houston estate wouldn't like this story line very much.

The Whitney Houston Story, as has been pointed out, is just The Judy Garland Story all over again. Ho hum.

It would be a tragedy on par with her death to generate an imagination-free tribute musical, with some gal imitating Houston's vocals on Houston's songs.

However - an original show, taking liberties with "facts," with an original score?

Imagine the 11:00 number:

I've been a bitch, I've been a diva,
But when I go, I'll leave a
World that plays me like a psychopath;
I told them in the lobby
Not to let up Bobby,
And now I think it's time... for my bath!
