I wonder what Arthur thinks about all this... I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
Isn't it a full moon tonight?

P.S. 20 seats? 20?
P.P.S. Sheena Easton was fantastic in MAN OF LA MANCHA in '90.
P.P.P.S. I'm all for Prince writing her a Broadway show. It would be something unique, whatever he came up with...

After he launched Bria Valente's career into the stratosphere via Target, she should thank her lucky stars.
(If he calls, Bria, do NOT ANSWER THE PHONE.)

Posted: 6/8/09 at 11:44pmDoes Prince still think it's the 80s & that people care enough about him to bother him at the show?

That's creepy.
That dirty midget freaks me out.
But I will say Ms. Olivio was lookin' smokin' hot.
Why can't she wear her hair like that in the show?

It sounds like a fabricated gossip column story. If not.....
Crrreeeepppeeeeyyy.
Incidentally, when attending the theater I frequently purchase a block of tickets and surround myself with 19 empty seats so that no one will notice me in any way and I will be left alone. You go, Prince.

He better watch it, Matt will kick his scrawny little ass.

Posted: 6/9/09 at 3:45pmI'll bet if he started handing out the latest issue of "The Watchtower" at the theatre, the 20 seats around him would clear out without him having to spend the money on the ticket block.

Get in line, Prince.
But seriously, that is CREEPY.

Posted: 6/9/09 at 4:04pmThis is creepy but if this is gonna make Karen successful I am all for it. She totally deserves it.

I find this whole thing hilarious! okay maybe I shouldn't, it's very very creepy. But between him buying 20 tix, and the convenient pun-headlines bound to follow this event, it's some great publicity for WSS.
Also it's just absurdly hilarious.
P.S. Title is bothering me: it's Olivo.

Cameron MackIntosh stepped in when Howard Stern tried to buy out the Barrymore for a matinee when Kathie Lee Gifford was playing Carol Burnett's role.
Obviously, he felt that it wouldn't be fair to the performers to endure an hour and forty-five minutes of Stern fans who were vying for tickets via a contest.
Stern, had he really wanted to be the a*shole everyone perceives him to be, could have just bought a block of tickets or sent people to the show (richard and sal, probably) to harrass Kathie Lee from the audience had that been his point. Stern hates hypocrytes and targets them, rightfully or not. At that time, Lee was just revealed to be involved with the sweat shops and all that.
And, hey, she DID ask Sondheim to change a lyric so maybe she deserved it?
P
P.S. Is it wrong to find Kathie Lee and Howard Stern both pretty interesting in the bland, milque-toast void of entertainment?

What lyric did she ask to be changed?
The next Carmen Electra??? I'd stay in theatre all my life if all I was going to do was "Scary Movies" and stuff like that.
