i was wondering if anyone has heard of any negative comments about kerry. according to the amiannoying.com site a co star called her a spoiled little bitch. i don't know if it's true or not and don't get me wrong i love kerry i think she's awesome but i'm wondering if anyone has heard anything like that

No! That is not true.
I have met Kerry several times and interviewed her.
She is down to earth, sweet and adorable.
One of the nicest kids in town.
Maybe people are jealous of her. She is beautiful, talented and successful and some people hate that.
I hate when people make up rumors because they have unhappy lives.
Kerry has always been a delight when I have talked to her.

Right Corine, as usual an insightful post by you. Could it possibly be that "She is down to earth, sweet and adorable.
One of the nicest kids in town" to *you* because you're press? Or do you think it was because she was genuinely fond of you? Again, that's a rhetorical question.

Come on, Al.

I'm neither press nor peer and Kerry's been nothing but nice to me the couple times I met her.

I have meet Kerry several times also and I'm no one but a Fan and when I have met her she is sweetest person. I would go far as saying one of the nicest people I have meet in a very long time. I really couldn't see someone saying something like that about her.

Al,
Please remove the stick from your ass.
What is your problem?

I had to do that once. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you said "stick."

what makes that especially funny is her pic since I can picture her saying that, then posing like that

i know kerry and she is an incredibly sweet person. i have never seen her be mean to anyone.

As much as I find her to be both miscast and slightly lost in LSOH, I've found her to be both friendly and a generous performer. I've never heard any negative comments about her either behind the scenes or in public, she was perhaps the nicest Belle ever and they all have been sweethearts, except for Toni..oopps!

My partner and I saw her in Hairspray...and the following day we recognized her (and chatted with her) outside of the East Bonnet Competition. She seemed very charming and gracious.

Very girl-girl-next-door!

Best Regards

She even collects disney pins.

I've spoken with Rob Bartlett (Mr. Mushnik) by e-mail and he had nothing but praise for Kerry, and said she was "a doll". He also noted how great everyone in the cast of LSOH gets along.

I finally saw a number from LSOH on the Parade, and I gotta say it: Kerry Butler playing "Audrey" reminded me of a high school production, with the most popular theatre geek finally getting the role she's been gunning for. Good lord. The three girls were great, Seymour was fine, but her? AAAAAAAAAAH. Complete miscasting, IMHO.

Because performers are always at performance level at the Macy's Day Parade ...

Oh, give me a frikkin' break, JP. True, performers probably aren't at performance level at 9:00 Thanksgiving morning in the middle of 34th Street, but one certainly form an opinion based on their performances. It's not like they roll out of bed, throw on a wig, and are on air within 15 minutes of the alarm clock ringing. This ain't my first time at the rodeo, so save your zingy one-liners.

[JohnPopa]

Posted: 12/3/03 at 10:13am

Wasn't implying anything of the sort. You could say 'I didn't think that performance was particularly good' but to then make a brash and insulting judgement about an entire performance based on that is, well, crude at best. In fact, the point of those performances is to try and market the product so there's certainly nothing wrong with discussing whether or not that performance would or wouldn't sell the show to you.

May not be your first time at the rodeo but is it your first time outside the cafeteria?

"Sutton, I'm tired of being so g***dam SWEET and NICE to all my fans. They all think I'm just f***kin' Shirley Temple! HA! (Roars with laughter) They should only KNOW how hard-bitten and mean I am... HEY, DRESSER! WHERE'S THAT CASE OF CHIVAS I ASKED YOU FOR, YA LAZY SONUVAB****H?! (Tosses back glass of scotch, takes long drag on cig). SH*T. Too bad I can't FIRE that loser."

"Kerry, you're preachin' to the chior here (removes wad of gum from heavily lipsticked mouth, parks it in outstretched hand of bedraggled dresser, adjust sagging nylons and garter belt while puffing on a Lucky Strike). Damn, do you know how many times I wanted to onstage bitchslap that nancyboy leading man of mine and that Harris broad? O yeah...my fans! Ha! Everybody thinks I'm g****dam Millie, fer Chr**sts sake. And if I don't sign EVERY damn Playpill or souvenir book for those poor slobs, they go runnin' to those internet boards and wail an' complain. THE POOR DEARS! (roars with bitter, nasty laughter)...Ya want a refill, doll?"

I suppose you have a point. So I will say this: "Based on her performance on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, I will not buy a ticket to one of my least favorite shows. This may be based on my opinion of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, but Ms. Butler's take on Audrey (as seen on the brief snippet on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, used as a marketing tool for the show and performed at 9:00 in the morning EST on a beautiful Thanksgiving day in New York City) did nothing to lure me into the theatre -- in fact, it made me want to stay away all the more."

And while my fingers are itching to unleash a torrent of snappy comebacks to your "cafeteria" retort, I shan't. You see, it's all about the three Fs. Remember, Namo?

I will have to say that even though it's not always smart to judge someone's performance from the Thanksgiving Day parade, rlb is still pretty right about Ms. Butler (lovely person though, she is...she just isn't right for this role).

However, she's nothing compared to a certain cast member in the same piece that makes my teeth sweat!
