has anyone heard this I like cheese, I like chocolate thing?

I heard this on a broadway world.com post a long time ago:
Idina Menzel was giving some speech on the Tsunami fund raising. She asked if Jen Laura Thompson had anything to add, and after a pause, Jen goes, "I like cheese!" Then Idina goes, "I like chocolate!" And they dance around, "I like cheese! I like chocolate!" Then Idina says to audience, "Inside joke!" or something like that, and the curtain closes. Anyone there when that cute little thing came up?

Some of us on an Idina site think that their talking about their hubbies. It would make since because Taye is black, and JLa's hubby is white.

I wouldn't say it is necessarily brain-dead nonsense.
I just don't see how it is even remotely funny.

Someone here thought that it was done AT a benefit. No, it was actually during the curtain call, they spoke to the audience for a few moments about the Tsunami, and then they broke into this chocolate/cheese thing. I guess one had to be there to find this funny, but it's not like they were at a benefit to raise money and acted like this.

I was there. It was on January 4th...they came out after the curtain call and Idina made a speech about how they were raising money for the tsunami victims. Then she asked JLT if there was anything she wanted to add. JLT replied, "I like cheese". Idina didn't say "I like chocolate!" Then they did the little chocolate/cheese song and dance for about 5 seconds, and said that it was a little inside joke. The audience ate it up, myself included. No big deal. Cute though.

I didn't get to see it, but a friend of mine did. But basically it was just to call everyone to attention during for the Tsunami Victims thing...and well Idina said something along the lines that she was announcing her engagement to JLT. JLT was supposedly a bit irked by this...but it was all a joke. (obviously) And well Idina asked her if she wanted to add anything...and she kind of thought for a while and said "I like cheese." And well Idina couldn't stop laughing and they eventually started this little song and dance number about liking cheese and chocolate. re: has anyone heard this I like cheese, I like chocolate thing? I doubt it had anything to do with their husbands. CHEESE...completely random guys...it actually happened once during a practice round for a Mock Trial competition (but that's another story...)

So I'm to understand that they got silly while asking for money to aid victims of a horrible disaster? Is that it?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I finally got my hands on the footage. It's a minute long and well it's blurry considering whoever taped it was being VERY, VERY, BAAAAAAAD!

Idina: I would just like all of you to know that Jennifer and I are engaged.
Jen: [Howling laughter] Oh thank you sooo much _______ ( I can't really make it out...sound sort of like "Dee")
Idina: I just um...want to take one moment of you time and um, let you know that, um this week we are going to raise money for um, all the people in South East Asian that have been ____ by the tsunami, so we have this um organization called AmeriCares--AmeriCares it's a four star charity all the money goes directly to the cause. (more chatter about the organization....saying who's going to collect it and blah, blah, blah.) Ummm...do you want to say anything Jen. :laughs slightly:
Jen: :giggles: I like cheeeeeese!
:insane laughter:: Idina is like croaching down laughing.
Idina: I like chocolate!
Jen: And I like cheese!
Idina: I like chocolate!
Jen: And I like cheese!
{they are like dancing and sort of flinging their arms around}
Idina: Sorry we just had to crack a joke. We love you! Good night!

Well it could very well be the speculation from before...but well...it sounds like they were more giddy then anything else.

Let it rest guys. Please, all this speculation about what it was or what it meant is stupid and immature. Everyone has inside jokes that no one else gets, and everyone does something silly every once in awhile.


Let it be.

Fish is still trying to figure out the Wicked Crazies:

To the normal, non-stalker person, you would take this as two friends being goofy at curtain call. Not breaking character or being unprofessional, but enjoying some inside joke they share.

However, but if you were a crazy, you'd start eating mass qaunities of chocolate and cheese and wonder if there is some hidden implication within the context. Does Idina like chocolate b/c her husband is black? Does Jen like cheese b/c her husband is white? and so on...



Who in the hell has this much time on their hands? Who? I'll tell you who, the stalkers.
