Laureate
Lovely, legendary, litigious Dame Kiri te Kanawa is among the distinguished divas and dudes of the lyric stage to be honored at the 2011 edition of The F. Paul Driscoll Awards for Outstanding Achivement in the Field of Excellence. Also tapped: maestro Riccardo Muti, soprano Patricia Racette, bass-baritone Bryn Terfel and tenor Jonas Kaufmann. The gala dinner (sometimes known as the Opera News Awards) on April 17 promises to be (as always) one of the season’s premier meet-and-greets. [AP]
My favorite use of the F word was at an eye glass shop. My boyfriend went there to pick up his contact lenses and used the word “hell” when speaking to a fat, rude, white-trashy saleslady. She said to him, “We don’t talk that way, this is a family business.
I then filled out one of the shop’s comment cards and gave it to her.
It said, “If you think “hell” is bad, how about “fuck you, fatso”!

Best wishes

Excuse me, but I just saw the real end of civilization–part of a Katherine Jenkins concert on PBS.
Oh, my god. Where’s Simon Cowell when we need him?
And apropos of nothing other than that Broadway is GAY! (in caps with an exclamation point)…
But can she sex herself up to be Renee?

I’m sorry, but what is the big deal with Simon Russell-Beale? He is just a sort of pleasant middle-class bloke playing at theatricals, as far as I can tell.
Use fuck whenever the fuck you want. I don’t fucking care.
