Posted: 4/26/11 at 8:23pmWouldn't that blow when neither of their shows win best musical?

Posted: 4/26/11 at 8:30pmActually it would be a pretty brilliant move one everyones part. I hope something like this happens.

You realize that Bette turned down Sister Act which gave Whoopi two movies? I don't think sharing the stage is a possibility.
But if Bette hosted with Bruce Vilanch writing it might fly.

They seem to actually be friends. I don't think it would be a issue at all.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 12:36amThat doesn't seem like a very marketable idea at all to me. Next you'll be wanting Anne Hathaway and James Franko to host the Oscars... oh wait.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 1:57amSo if Chris Rock is chosen to host how long before we see the reemergence of the get Hollywood out of Broadway crowd?

I love Whoopi, but she sucked at hosting the Tonys IMO.
Neil Patrick Harris was perfection.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 10:46amAnd Riedel gets the name of the song wrong. Shocking. "Kiss Today Goodbye"? No. "What I Did For Love"? Yes.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 11:03amAlthough not ideal, I'd rather see Matt Morrison or Krisin Chenoweth host.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 12:10pmI am sorry. But Chris Rock would be a awful choice. I would be thrilled wit the Whoopi and Bette combo. They both have shows up and if Bruce Villanch wrote for them it would be fab.

I don't think much could top Whoopi's costume changes at the Oscar's that year...she didn't even have to open her mouth when she came out dressed in gold as that Victorian queen or whatever it was.
I think Matt Morrison would be a good choice because he's the living example of what Broadway has to offer. Solid singer, dancer, actor who made big. Everyone seemed to enjoy his Gypsy number on the Tony's.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 2:37pmI just saw a commercial for Poise Pads where Whoopi admitted her "secret" that sometimes she leaks (i.e. pees her pants). I will never be able to look at her again without wondering if she has wet herself or if she is wearing her Poise Pads to avoid moistness in her panties.

Posted: 4/27/11 at 2:49pmCan't we piss off Trump and let Rosie do it again?

Would love for Bette and Whoopi to do it.
Great idea.
