For anyone who was at the Voodoo festival in New Orleans - you got to see me jump around."I actually ended up breaking the bone that connects my shin to my foot! No shows will be cancelled though. I am currently trying to get a 'rocker' boot so I can have a walking cast. "Currently my foot is the size of a small car.

ROBERT GOULET SANG FOR HIS DINNER

Image
Star Robert Goulet, who shot to overnight international fame by playing Lancelot in the original 1960 Broadway production of "Camelot" with Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, died on Tuesday at age 73. The performer, who suffered from a rare form of the lung disease pulmonary fibrosis, died at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where he was awaiting a decision on whether he could receive a lung transplant. I met Goulet many times. The first time was at Steves Pier One restaurant in Bayville Long Island. He was a friend of owner Steve Karathanos. Everytime he would perform at Westbury Music Fair, he would make it a point to visit Steve. He always had lobster. He loved the lobster at the restaurant. He would sing for his meal. Yes Sing.

The crowd went wild and gave Goulet a standing ovation. This is one star that really did sing for ...

Director Martha Fiennes - whose brothers are actors Ralph and Joseph - said: "Dita has done a little acting before and I think she can handle it."In fact, I approached her myself. She is perfect for the part."I have written the script but it will probably need some developing, so I don't expect filming to start for another eight to 10 months."Hari - real name Margaretha Geertruida Zelle - was originally employed as a spy for the French during the war and acted as a courtesan to many high-ranking allied military officers.In 1917, she was accused of providing information to the Germans and was subsequently executed in France.Von Teese is also set to play young stripper Adel...
