MADONNA FRIDAY: BUENOS AIRES

Yep, Madonna was the perfect star for the movie musical Evita. I mean, c'mon! She IS Evita. A girl who had to find the right guy to put her on top, but once she got there, she made everyone fall in love with her. The rest is history. Very smart casting, and, it turns out, Madonna's finest movie moments to date. She went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Actress/Musical, Comedy. Buenos Aires is

TAYLOR SWIFT NOT DOING THE LES MIZ MOVIE AFTER ALL

Taylor Swift, the eternally-surprised country starlet, was widely believed to be the choice for pivotal role of Eponine in the Toby Hooper movie production of Les Miserables, but turns out, she AIN'T! Producer Cameron Mackintosh announced the cast today and the role is being played by British actress Samantha Barks. Barks has a musical background, currently starring in the stage production of

GLEE CASTS RACHEL'S TWO DADS!

And it's kinda genius. Rachel Berry, as all we Gleeks know, has two dads.

REVIEW: "STANDING ON CEREMONY: THE GAY MARRIAGE PLAYS"

Last night I attended Standing On Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays at the Minetta Lane Theatre here in NYC. The show is a series of short plays about the ongoing battle all over the United States to secure equal rights for the LGBT community to marry the person they love. Gosh, what will we want next? The right to vote? Ha. Anyway, SOC was truly an inspiring reading of nine different short plays

WATCH SARAH SILVERMAN'S HILARIOUS BROADWAY MEDLEY

It's not THAT bad actually. Ha. Sarah Silverman proves she is a theatre geek by doing a little Broadway Medley with Seth Rudetsky on SiriusXM. Her On My Own from Les Miz is a class is serio-comic singing. I get a kick out of it. It's nice to see Sarah doing something besides her usual sarcastic humor, although I adore that too. In that genre, she does a great Ladies Who Lunch. LOVE!!!! There's
