5/14/01: Read about former valley stage star, Kathy Fitzgerald, and how she got nine parts in Mel Brooks boffo play, The Producers, in Kyle Lawson's May 13, 2001 Arizona Republic column.

5/13/01: The Hollywood Reporter now says that the buxom brat Shannen Doherty, will not be returning for next year's run of Charmed. Drat! This is the second time Shannen has scooted from an Aaron Spelling production prior to its natural ratings driven demise.

5/12/01: I've finally posted a few of the photos from Arizona Renaissance Theatre's 2001 Valley of the Sun Shakespeare Festival performed in April of 2001 at the Tempe Performing Arts Center. I've still got some undeveloped film from photos I took of The Taming of the Shrew, so it will be awhile until I post those photos.

5/10/01: Hollywood Confidential reports that Page6.com revealed what happened at a recent photo shoot with my former heart-throb, Angelina Jolie. Apparently she wouldn't remove a necklace/pendant she was wearing ". . . containing drops of (husband's) Billy Bob Thornton's blood . . ." She also sported the ever so popular self-inflicted slashes on her arms ". . . explaining she had to cut herself before sex." Damn! After sex with the Master, that's when my women, in an attempt at suicide, cut themselves. This little incident, if not done for publicity (and one never knows) exposes that the lovely and talented Ms. Jolie has some awful emotional wounds, that sadly, due to her wealth and the influence of herself and BBT, will likely never be healed prior to her passing.

5/7/01: Good news. Julie Lee the workhorse of Audition Hotline has purchased a new telephone message machine and expects to be up and running by Monday, May 14th, 2001. Master Thespian will be hittin' the audition ropes again!
 5/6/01: I finally found my way to sit still and view the 1950s VHS of Kiss Me Kate. I guess I'm just a stickler for form because the way the Bard's words were reshaped and rearranged really disturbed me. (And I'm a pretty disturbed individual as it is.) Maybe I was upset that 'my character' Gremio was a young Bobby Van or Bob Fosse with about three lines. To me, it stunk. However a couple of 'good' things did come out of my tribulation. 1) In the movie the actors pronounced Petruchio as 'Pe true shee O'. While during our Taming of the Shrew, I was regularly upbraided for using that exact pronunciation, rather than the demanded 'Pe true kee O'. Har! and 2) 'Our' Petruchio, Matthew Proschold, was just head and shoulders above the vanilla performance of veteran movie actor Howard Keel in the film Kiss Me Kate.

5/2/01: Over at the IMDb Celebrity News they report that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman
split due to the fact that Nicole wished to raise their children Catholic and in Australia while Tom insisted on Los Angeles and the whack-job religion of Scientolgy®. Rumors are that Tom Cruise, who plays so many tough-guy characters, instead of telling Nicole to her face of the split, like a spineless wimp, had his paid lackey's do it.  Master Thespian, being married to a maroon maned maiden himself, does not criticize Mr. Cruise for this approach!
In other 'news', your Master Thespian has discovered that the flop-movie, What Planet are You From?, filmed in and around Phoenix, Arizona, apparently used every person I know, whether an actor or not, except for me! Of course, I do share a striking resemblance with co-star John Goodman, I mean, Greg Kinnear.

5/1/01: Apparently, my favorite Charmed hotty (okay, okay, I happened upon a nude photo of her - WoW!) Shannen Doherty, has pled an un-charming "no-contest" to a drunk driving ticket she received in December of 2000. At the time, Ms. Doherty refused to perform a breathalyzer, and the PD were forced to draw her corpuscles sans her consent. She posted a .13% BAC, well over the .08% BAC maximum scribed inside California law books. Her no-contest plea could result in a six month sentence, however more likely is a five day run picking up garbage (and empty mini-ziplock bags) tossed from the briefly opened windows of speeding Escalades, Navigators and Land Rovers. E! Online has a fun little list of Aaron Spelling's top eight bitches. (Note, via modem, it takes a while to load.)
