A Star is Reborn
That superstar of the podosphere, Miss Frances Gumm, is back after six months of laying fallow. Or is La Cieca thinking of Frank Sinatra? Anyway, one of our absolute favorite online destinations, JudyCast, has returned with its distinctive mélange of entertainment gossip and otherworldy warbling as gaily subversive as ever. (No explanation is given for the hiatus, but La Cieca suspects that the recent TCM screening of the bizarre 1968 flick Skiddoo dislodged whatever was creatively blocking Carol Channing and the other JudyCast partipants.)

Conpletely off topic, has anyone else been watching the operas on Gallery HD? I just saw part of Traviata with Norah Ansellem (not bad), and Evelyn Herlitzius (hooty) was in Oberto last week. Gallery HD also showed Hoffmann a few weeks ago. All of the productions so far that I've seen on the channel have been from Opus Arte. The Traviata is from Teatro Real in Madrid and is a gorgeous modern production (see I don;t hate all updated porductions) with gowns that could channeled Adrien/Bob Mackie. The Oberto and Hoffmann were both from Bilbao. And all three were more interesting than what I saw from The Met. I'd like to hear the Oberto with a better soprano, though.
Who is this "fallow" that Miss Gumm has been laying?
