1. It is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I get to meet Whoopi Goldberg. This is extremely significant to me. If you only know her from Sister Act I beg you to go get a copy of her old Broadway show. And I beg you to watch The Color Purple.
These are things that helped shape me and changed how I absorb things and how I deal with sadness. And how I smile.
Please keep this in mind as you watch me blubbering and trying not to cry on The View today. I LOVE HER. Immensely.
2. For those of you calling me hypocrite- The View doesn't have writers so it is not affected by the strike. I looked into it. I wouldn't have crosed that line. Not even for Whoopi. Not even if DeVito was the other guest instead of *gasp* Colin Powell.
3. I got a nice message from a guy named Chico. He lives at the house in Boston and says that the folks living at the house were never informed that I wanted a room to be clean and babyproof. It was a woman who doesn't live at the house who set up the show and apparently everyone involved was being told different things. Sigh. Pretty lame. So, yeah, no hard feelings to the party house dudes. I guess it is a pretty well known trashy party house. The show never should have been set up there. I was (mis)led to believe it would be okay. If any of you ever see that I am set to play somewhere nightmarish feel free to tell me. I would appreciate that. Oh and most of the people who sent me mean messages were understanding once I had a chance to explain myself. So my only beef is with the show-setter-upper, but it is over. Thank goodness.
