Jessica Simpson Gets "Chillbumps" From Sister Ashlee

Share


As you've heard by now Ashlee Simpson was given the axe by execs at Melrose Place but rebounded quickly with a gig reprising the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago, but this time on Broadway. The starlet previously played the part in the West End back in 2006.

If you recall Jessica Simpson twittered Melrose Place was "crap" upon Ashlee getting kicked to the curb, a comment I don't totally disagree with, though her motivation is suspect. This time around Jessica is twittering support for her younger sister and Ashlee's new role writing, "I can't wait to watch @ashsimpsonwentz on broadway in all her glory!!! I get chillbumps from toes to noggin thinking about it!! YAY!!!!"

It seems that all is going well on stage. Ashlee twittered "just finished second CHICAGO rehearsal. Man I love the theater and putting my dancing shoes back on!!"

On a side note- can anyone tell me what happened to Heather Locklear's face? I, of course, tuned into her much anticipated return to Melrose Place and was frightened. Why is no one talking about the botox and lip injections gone wrong?!

Daniel Craig Will Give You The Watch Off His Wrist

Share




It's been reported that Daniel Craig has requested extra security for his stint on Broadway in A Steady Rain opposite Hugh Jackman, however, these pictures of Craig mixing and mingling with fans just outside the theater paint a very different picture of the actor.

While Daniel's clearly not afraid to pose for fan photos--even when unsolicited--after meeting Tom Murro and his wife, Kelly, Craig went above and beyond. Murro explains that he complimented the James Bond action star on the watch he was wearing, to which Daniel replied, "I could spare one and it's yours if you want it." Too shocked to accept, Tom politely declined, much to the chagrin of his better half.

Well, would you look at that? I bet Daniel would give you the mustache off his lip, if you asked him nicely.

A special meet-and-greet was held today, which united Tony-Award-winning Broadway veteran, Angela Lansbury, and Chicago star, Catherine Zeta-Jones, as well as the cast of Trevor Nunn's production of A Little Night Music.

The lovely ladies posed for press and chatted with press to promote the revival of the Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's play, based on the Ingmar Bergman movie, Smiles of a Summer Night.

An official opening kicks off December 13, with performances starting November 24. Meanwhile, I'm loving Catherine's look, the sleek black dress with the sexy red accents.

Katie Holmes Up For Cocktail: The Musical

Share



Ha!  I just can't with this one.

The New York Post reports that super-80's Tom Cruise vehicle Cocktail is currently being adapted into a Broadway musical by Heywood Gould, who wrote the original book and film (and owner of the hottest name I've ever heard).

Heywood (seriously, my kid will have this name) says that it's too early to talk about casting, but he's got his eye on Katie Holmes.  Double ha!

Truth be told, Cocktail, which just celebrated it's 20th anniversary (feel old yet?), was never a hit with me.  Does anyone else find it absurdly bad?  I guess this weepy Stepford wife would fit right in.  Maybe Suri could be her stylist for the show?

Here's Katie and the fam looking as though they are rushing to start their day.  Tom looks like he hasn't even finished his fancy breakfast souffle!  He's going to need it.  Fancy breakfast souffle: the best way to start the day.  I'll take my check now.

Sienna Miller's Legs Get Rave Broadway Reviews

Share




British import, Sienna Miller, has been receiving praise for her turn in After Miss Julie on the Broadway stage. But it wasn't her acting skills that earned her highest compliments.

New York Times critic Ben Brantley limits his praise to the Factory Girl star's "good diction, good posture and great legs. Commendable as these attributes are, they are of limited use..."

In addition, an Associated Press review describes Miller's "trim figure wrapped in a pert floral print dress that shows off her great legs." To be fair, John Simon of Bloomberg News says Sienna is "convincing enough in the title role, managing superciliousness and condescension, lust and humiliation, with unassailable proficiency."

I'm sure that as long as no one is dying in the front row, Sienna's a happy camper.

Scarlett Johansson Confesses Stage Fright

Share




Movie star, Scarlett Johansson, has admitted that although she harbors dreams of taking to the stage in Broadway, she's holding back as a result of crippling stage fright.

The curvaceous actress confesses to Glamour magazine, "I would love to work on Broadway, but I don't know that it would manifest itself in musical theater...I have terrible stage fright that I'd have to get over."

Oddly enough, as a child, Johansson took to to the stage in the early stages of her career but as ScarJo explains, "It came on when I was a teenager, and I think it somehow sticks with you." Maybe she should take a swig of liquid courage there.

Sienna Miller Thought Epileptic Dog Was Dying Old Person

Share




More confounding than Sienna Miller's outfit she wore to her appearance on David Letterman's talk show, was her recent declaration that she confused a dog with an old person.

To her credit, the actress was on stage at the time and struggling to stay in character while on the Broadway stage in her play, After Miss Julie, when the incident took place.

As Sienna explained to Letterman during her interview, "There was what I thought was a human being in the front row on the floor convulsing. I missed the announcement that it was a seeing-eye dog."

The animal was experiencing an epileptic fit and eventually stopped moving, much to Sienna's terror. "Then it went to sleep and I thought it had passed on. It was an older audience, after all. I was freaked out but stayed in character." Few things are more disconcerting than having an audience member croak on you.
