  I have no problem with her singing Puritani. She will do it wonderfully and I look forward to the broadcast. I do have a problem with the Met devoting considerable resources to an opera that would...

  I'd loved to have been there. Morley is such a dedicated, delightful artist, and she was born to be one. Knows her voice intimately, and most importantly, astute in preserving its pristine...

  I'm not ashamed to admit I love some of Casey's movies. But by the end of his porn career, he looked completely dissipated on screen.
