Posted: 6/18/12 at 10:22amYou think it was bad when LuPone destroyed that person taking pictures? You ain't seen nothing til you've seen LaBelle on her tears. Sorry, the woman is a bitch. Trust me, I've first hand encounters with her legendary vileness.

Posted: 6/18/12 at 11:58amYeah, everything's coming up roses would be thirteen minutes long, and that is without the obligatory repetition of the song's ending after the applause dies down.

Sheryl Lee Ralph!
"Stripping does not put food on the table. Stripping does not pay the bills. Stripping is no guarantee to a future, even if you have got talent."
"Mama, you know I can strip."
"So could your daddy, and he died still trying to make it."

Saw LaBelle in a production of HOUSE OF FLOWERS directed by Geoffrey Holder. She can't act (and Holder couldn't direct). Mama Rose needs to act.
Case closed.
