I thought it rather strange that she didn't get a standing ovation.

Carol Channing is adorable. On the red carpet she was waving to fans and she has such spunk. The woman is really outstanding.

Sean Combs liked her so much he's producing her next album. Thta is, after she gets out of prison for her role in the drive by.

This was the Tony's most memorable moment for me. I will never forget this, how CAN you? I can't get this picture out of my head! Ahhhhhh! Carole Channing in that short sparkling "Millie" flapper's dress that she probably bought in 1922, RAPPING with LL Cool J.

Actually TGC was wearing the same dress she wore when she did SINGULAR SENSATIONS Off-Bwy last year.

How embarrasing for TGC. She is a Grande Dame of American Theater and should act like it. I'm not saying this to p.o. Dollypop either.

What a sport! Gotta love her.
OK, I'm not a rap fan either, but it was great fun to see her come accross cultures.
God bless her!

Albin, that's why the segment was funny. The very idea of someone of TGC's stature joining KoolWhip--or whatever his name is--in a rap number is funny. To actually see her doing it is twice the fun!

(Fifty Cent--another rapper--donated a vast number of books to our school. When I was discussing this with my classes I referred to him as "Mister Cent" and the class thought it was hilarious. How does one refer to people with names like 50 Cent?)

What I love about Carol Channing is that she is prepared to send herself up. You've got admire that. She's a great entertainer. Look at her and then at that Rashad woman, what a poser. Who would you rather spend time with?
