6/19: Idol the off-Broadway musical?
By: Rodney Ho | June 19, 2007, 2:25PM EST
With so many former “Idol” contestants doing or having done Broadway (Anthony Fedorov, Fantasia, Diana DeGarmo, Constantine Maroulis, Frenchie Davis and Tamyra Gray, to name a few), it’s inevitable someone has come up with “Idol: The Musical.”
From the description, it sounds like a bit of a goof, especially of Clay Aiken fans.
Here’s the link.
The musical, which was tested in Syracuse, NY June 1 and June 8, is scheduled to begin previews at Off-Broadway’s 45th Street Theatre July 5. Todd Ellis is producing the Manhattan engagement of Idol, which will be directed by Bill Boland.
Donna Reynolds, an Idol columnist for www.foxesonidol.com, said she heard it was entertaining but missed it because she had to work.
Here’s a review from syracuse.com
“The numbers are never less than serviceable, and several are quite appealing,” the reviewer Chuck Klaus wrote.
Idol: The Musical, according to press notes, is described as “a satirical musical comedy that focuses on the outrageous and delusional fan base of the hit television show. The musical takes place in Steubenville, Ohio where a group of dork-like students are preparing for their high school graduation after which they are determined to drag themselves out of the dregs of the middle-of-nowhere.
“There are eight of them; all belonging to the same cult-like club that meets daily in a barn that doubles as a shrine to Clay Aiken. They are actively ridiculed by the rest of Steubenville; a humiliating situation that doesn’t deter their quest for all things Clay. They are victims of A.D.D., Ritalin, their misguided obsessions and their innocent longing for their elusive ‘15 minutes.’

Please ladies, if you dont have the body for it, dont do it!!!!! It isnt cute. You may not know the people there, but you can best bet they will remember you, and probably sneak a pic of you to laugh later. Just keeping it real. (Shaun ducks out of room, all while adjusting his halo)

BIKINI 101 (listen up people)
When not to wear a bikini:
1) if the person standing in front of you can not see the bottom half of your bikini because your stomach is sitting on top of it, don't wear a bikini.
2)If you have had any major surgeries that left a huge scar on your stomach, but you are still a size 2, don't wear a bikini. That looks nasty.
3) If your thighs look like a bumpy road with all the grooves, don't wear a bikini.
4) If you are triple A in the chest, and a size 18 at the bottom, puleeese don't wear a bikini.
And the biggy....
5) If your spouse is standing more than 2 feet away from you while you are wearing a bikini, chances are you shouldn't be wearing a bikini.
SOLUTION:
1) If you feel the need to feel sexy and young, turn on the water in the shower, pop on that bikini and allow the water to roll off of your fine self.
Note: If you ain't fine, it will roll off anyway!
RESULT:
2) no one will have to have therapy and you get to feel good about yourself in private.

To add to Shay's rules for bikini wear. For a man, if you have dikidoo disease...do not wear a speedo or bikini style swimsuit.
|
|
Posted by: Deirdre on June 19, 2007 2:07PM EST
Shaun...I complimented you on the last thread. Like it or not ladies...the man is right!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:08PM EST
Oh, and one more thing, If you think that you look good in a bikini but no one has told you that you look good in a bikini, changes are, you shouldn't be wearing one!!
|
|
Posted by: ontheside on June 19, 2007 2:08PM EST
I've got a lot more curves (and dimples, and rolls) than Demi. I bet no one wants to pay to see mine though. LOL

Dikidoo? Is that when your gut sticks out further than your "dikidoo"?

I SIT ALONE AT THE TOP!!!!!ME AND MY BIG BOOTY GIRL LAKISHA!!!!DID ANYBODY EVER HEAR WHO WON THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP?..LOL!!!!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:10PM EST
LOL Choc!!! I though the dikidoo disease was when you have no diki in your doo doo.
|
|
Posted by: Mitch on June 19, 2007 2:10PM EST
Also, if a man has more hair on his back than the top of his head...I also recommend wearing a shirt (and not a tank top).
|
|
PLEASE CHOC...STOP!
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:11PM EST
Dayum what all y'all say!! I LOOKS GOOD IN MY BIKINI!!! AND, and I don't need anyone to agree, concur, nor confirm! I AM WOMAN...HEAR ME ROAR! And watch out...cause this bootylicious babe works the badonkadonk in the bikini!! BOOOYAAAH!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:12PM EST
And women, if you don't shave, puleeeese refrain from wearing a two piece. Hairy armpits and a hairy triangle ain't cute either.
|
|
Posted by: Jex on June 19, 2007 2:13PM EST
LOL shay, WTH?
I thought it was when guys talked to themselves - "Does the diki like that girl over there? Yes the dikidoo!"
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:14PM EST
Na see...that's what dayum wax is for. I mean, really!

Posted by: Deirdre on June 19, 2007 2:17PM EST
And on Demi Moore...she may look good but it takes not eating anything other than grapefruit and lettuce to keep her looking that way. The woman is obsessed with youth...I would be too if my husband was nearly 20 years younger than me.....I have a hard enough time keeping up with 6 years younger than me. :-)
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:20PM EST
oh, its LYAO choc? Not your butt!!! Was it that funny !!!!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:21PM EST
Jex my meaning was you have no product in the front of your package, not what you were thinking!!
|
|
OR SEEING TWO HAIRY GROWN MEN RUBBING OIL ON EACH OTHER BY THE POOL,AND HAVING YOUR 8 YEAR OLD ASK YOU ABOUT IT!!I TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE LOST AND COULDN'T FIND THERE WAY BACK TO THE WILDERNESS!!!..LOL!!!!
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:24PM EST
Yes...cause that's how men think...with the "dikidoo". I can imagine the conversation going just like that. LOL 'diki, do you like that girl. Yes, the dikidoo'. but the response would be the same no matter which girl it is!! LOL
|
|
Posted by: on June 19, 2007 2:26PM EST
LOL!!!!!thanks for those tips Shay
I gotcha D. I really didn't mean "bikini" my 36D's would never did or would fit into those triangle thingy's anyway. I was thinking more of a 2 piece that covers.
Jexy, LMAO!!!!!!!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:26PM EST
I notice you always say LMBO but this time you were LYAO so I figured it was extra funny!! I am still laughing myself.

Shay, sometimes it doesn't take much to get me tickled like Elmo. LOL

2 pieces are great, kimmie...go for it!
|
|
Posted by: Deirdre on June 19, 2007 2:30PM EST
And BTW, Rodney...thanks for the new thread and I thing Idol: The Musical would be a pretty good idea. A little off Broadway style spoof could be very funny. We could be in it...all the idol bloggers surrounding the stage interjecting comments!
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:30PM EST
Now...to comment on AI: The Musical. AYFJ? Please tell me it's a joke. I like AI and all, obviously since I take the time to comment on this blog about it, but a musical. Getthef**kouttahere!!

Why is it that they make bikini tops so little? The cup sizes are always so tiny.
|
|
Posted by: on June 19, 2007 2:31PM EST
ok, i might try it out!
ladies, am I the only one that can go to a dept. store and try on 42 different bathing suits and hate all of them and then order one from victoria secrets without trying it on and it fits like it was made for you? i don't even go to the dept stores anymore for them....i just click and go..........
|

shay.....seriously-victoria secret.com
|
|
Posted by: Deirdre on June 19, 2007 2:32PM EST
It's a hint, shay, that people who don't fit in the cups shouldn't be wearing the bikini.
|
|
Posted by: on June 19, 2007 2:33PM EST
true D!!!!!!!! but they make the 2 piece's to fit all cup sizes.
|
|
Posted by: linnykat on June 19, 2007 2:36PM EST
wow. go away for an hour and look at you guys!!!
SHAY!!!!!! your rules of bikini wearing... lordy woman, when i started reading, i could HEAR Jeff Foxworthy reading them!!!!!!! I was literally choking at my desk.... co worker came over and pounded my back!!!!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:36PM EST
I don't think that's what it is.
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:37PM EST
are you breathing o.k. Linny!!!
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:37PM EST
Kimmy...you're not alone. The best fitting suit I have I purchased on line. Speigel.com
Dee...I have to disagree with you on that one. A woman can have a small bottom but be more "endowed" up top calling for a larger cup size. Doesn't necessarily means she "shouldn't" be wearing the bikini.
IF YOU GOT IT...FLAUNT IT...AND ALL IN THEIR FACE IF YOU HAVE TO!!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:40PM EST
that was the point I was trying to make Choc!!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:43PM EST
All I can say is this. If I get my body down to the size and shape that I am expecting by the end of this summer, I will be wearing a two piece to work. Nah, I'm kidding!!! But I wouldn't be ashamed to wear one to the beach.
If you got it, flaunt it!!!!

Diane, what is your input on the bikini do's and don'ts.
|
|
Posted by: on June 19, 2007 2:47PM EST
Shay, you forgot to add if you have strech marks. I am dying laughing at the dikidoo comments....

Shaun, you're treading on this ice buddy!!

Am i understanding correctly that the show is mostly about Claymates?
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:50PM EST
Diane, with all the dikidoo and bikini conversation I don't think anyone read Rodney's post. LOL We're preoccupied at the moment.
|
|
Posted by: on June 19, 2007 2:50PM EST
shaun, you shouldn't be looking that close to see if a girl got stretch marks or not.....your wife will pound you!
speaking of all of this...go to tmz.com--there is a picture on there of jay-z & bouncey walking on a nude beach in france---they are NOT nude but the people behind them are----i have no worries.....
|
|
Posted by: Diane1 on June 19, 2007 2:51PM EST
People so love their bodies and i think that is a good thing. The down side is i see way toooo many cracks and unsightly guts. So if you wouldnt be seen on the cover of Jet, O, Marie Claire, Shape and/or Ladies Home Journal, please dont wear the bikini. If you dont see your shape on the Dove commericals, please dont wear the bikini.
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:51PM EST
That's what I've been trying to tell ya Kimmy. Girl, do you!!! DO YOU!!
|
|
Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 2:51PM EST
Shaun, that one is a no brainer. But I guess I better make that one #7 because some of the ones that have had babies but still think they got it because they went back to their pre-pregnancy size, but stomach look like chitterlins.
If your stomach, thighs, or breasts have stretched marks on them, you already know the answer.
|
|
Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on June 19, 2007 2:53PM EST
Nah Shay, their stomach looks like a brain b/c of the stretch marks!! BLECH!

kimmy...bottom line...I have no doubt that you'll look just fine in a two piece and I would bet shay was absolutely adorable in her tankini(I love those things)
|

Posted by: shay on June 19, 2007 3:05PM EST

Yes, a brain. A friend of my neice has a 2 yr old. Prior to the kid she was a size 4, perhaps. Anyway, now she has a "GUT" and is only 25. B/c of the stretchmarks on her, ahem...stomach we call her Pinky & The Brain.

Posted by: Diane1 on June 19, 2007 3:09PM EST
Since you mentioned Steve Harvey, I must say i am another one who is amazed he is wearing a piece/wig/toupee. I just assumed that was his hair. My dad is in his 70's and he does not have a bald spot anywhere. I must say it is not quite as tall as Steve's, but Steve is 20 years younger. i noticed Nephew Tommy is fine with being bald, but genes can fall different ways, so that didnt really bother me or get me to thinking toupee.

Ive seen girls shaking with strech marks, that is just gross. I mean, who is screening these girls, I must say though, Majic City's girls be looking rough sometimes. Cheetah dont play that, you gotta be tight to shake up in there.

thanks D, If I don't feel right in it I won't wear it:)

how was the lady with the fake soutern accent last night (Closer)? Just cant make myself watch.
By the way, i did go online and watch House of Payne this week-end. The show was better than last week to me, but just okay. I guess i thought it was going to be horrible, so i was actually a little surprised that i kind of liked parts of the show. Still dont get the wife. At least we know she doesnt hang around too many crack heads, cuz she sure cant act like one.

On TMZ, i also saw how Larry and Howard K. are a united front on taking care of all things Anna. Why wasnt Larry so obliging before she died? She may have been alive today. Anyway, he made a comment that he may go to law school. I am not sure if that was a dig at his problems with his lawyers or not, but my first question would be: who would pay for that? I guess babies are good for something.

I saw this last night on one of the entertainment shows:
The mystery has been solved!! Whenever an ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, cheating spouse, or friend walks by you in a public place without speaking, don’t be offended. They are suffering from a condition called face blindness. A professor from Harvard is studying this phenomenon right now. The person is unable to recognize anyone by face features. They can only recognize the person when they start talking or remind the person of how they know each other. It seems that 6 million people in the US suffer from this. So keep a good thought the next time this happens to you.

All you Bon Jovi fans out there, the new CD is out today. I picked up a copy at lunch. There is a track on there with Big & Rich and another with Leann Rimes. Also, on Brad Paisley's new CD (also out today) there is a duet with Carrie Underwood. I can't listen at work without headphones and of course my PC here does not have a headphone jack. Can't wait to get home and listen.
