OK SO LAST WE SPOKE YOU KNOW WE GOT IN AROUND 1 AM, FRIDAY/SATURDAY ..THE WEDDING WAS AT 4 PM. IT WAS ON THE CAMPUS OF MY NIECE’S COLLEGE ,IN A LITTLE CHAPEL. SHE LOOKED GORGEOUS AND SO HAPPY. AND SEEING ALL MY FAMILY ,AUNTS ,UNCLES ,NIECES ,NEPHEWS ETC..WAS SUCH FUN. THE WEDDING WAS BEAUTIFUL,BUT SHORT,AS IT WASN’T A CATHOLIC WEDDING,WHICH I’VE USUALLY ATTENDED.SO AFTER,THEY RENTED A TROLLEY CAR FOR THE WEDDING FAMILY AND WE HEADED TO THE COUNTRY CLUB TO START THE FESTIVITIES.

UPON ENTERING , THERE WERE APPETIZERS..YEE HA. AS WE WERE FAMISHED..SO EVERY ONE WAS HAPPY AND SATISFIED, WAITING FOR THE COUPLE OF THE EVENING TO ARRIVE. I GOT TO CATCH UP ON EVERYONE’S LIFE…AND TIM GOT TO REACQUAINT HIMSELF WITH FAMILY HE HADN’T SEEN SINCE OUR WEDDING..

I PUT MY GREAT NEPHEW DOMINIC IN TIMS LAP ..AND HE JUST LOOKED UP AT TIM SO TRUSTINGLY..WE TOOK LOTS OF PHOTOS, AS INITIALLY I WAS GOING TO PRETEND, THIS WAS OUR NEW SON..LOL. NO SUCH LUCK…YET..

THE WEDDING PARTY ARRIVED, SPEECHES WERE MADE, FOOD SERVED, DRINKS OVER FLOWED,AND THAN THE DANCING BEGAN.MY DAD AND MOM WERE ALWAYS TO BE FOUND ON THAT DANCING FLOOR. TIM AND I TOO LOVE TO DANCE.. AND ALL THE FAMILY WERE IN THEIR ELEMENT. THE HOURS FLEW BY, AND NO ONE HAD A CLUE THAT OUTSIDE A MAGNIFICENT THUNDERSTORM AND TINY TYPHOON HAD SWEPT THRU..ONLY ON DRIVING HOME ,WHILE AVOIDING TREE BRANCHES AND THINGS ,DID WE NOTICE.

WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME THAT NIGHT. SLEPT IN AND WENT TO 11:00 MASS THE NEXT DAY. ACTUALLY THE PRIEST, FROM HUTCHINSON, HAD COME TO SEE ME IN JERSEY BOYS IN NY, AND SO AT MASS, HE INTRODUCED ME, AND TOLD THE PARISH THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ON A SEGMENT OF ‘THE CHOICES WE FACE’ IN THE UPCOMING WEEK. THAT WAS NICE OF HIM…HE LOVES THEATRE AND TRAVELING…AND GIVES GREAT SERMONS.

‘THE CHOICES WE FACE’ IS A CATHOLIC SHOW AIRING ON EWTN, AND I FILMED IT LAST OCTOBER IN ANN ARBOR, MICH, TAKING A DAY OFF FROM JBOYS…SUCH FUN…A HALF HOUR SHOW…THE SUBJECT BEING HOW DO YOU KEEP FAITH IN THE ENTERTAINMENT FIELD…I THINK A LOT HAS TO DO WITH MY PARENTS PRAYERS…ANYWAY

THAT’S MY FIRST SEGMENT …MORE TO COME…

Well we just returned from 8 glorious days in Michigan with my family. Tim and I stayed with my parents.We were supposed to arrive late Friday night ,around 11 but ,of course got in closer to 1 am. Our connecting flight flew out of Dallas..as we waited to board it,I watched as the ‘maintenance worker’ and 2 pilots repeatedly walked over to one of the airplanes wings and than back inside the plane,and than out again to inspect that wing, knock on it, run their hand over a questionable area…this made me feel so secure and eager to fly …NOT…we finally boarded ,taxied to our position,and on the way to that spot,it sounded like we had a flat tire or something,and all of us just nervously looked at each other,we than waited some more and watched as all these other planes took off,mind you ,I hit my head at least 3 times in this plane before sitting down,and I’m 5′3,and in the bathroom the sink was taped up because their was no running water,only those KFC handiwipes…finally the plane started gunning its engine ONLY to do a U turn back to the terminal..”Hello this is Commander …we have a slight problem,you may have heard…our hydraulic automatic steering? is not working,now we don’t always need this,and the warning light is on,but we’re going to have this looked at,and hope to have the problem solved soon.”

I want to get off this tiny little thing and after awhile go up to the one flight attendant to ask if we can de-board..and he re- assures me that he’s worked here over 38 years,and not to worry.,,etc..and than after about 20 minutes the pilot comes back on and tells us ,its showing up on his screen as a problem,but the equipment seems to be working fine…I’m not convinced..Suddenly after more waiting, I see one of the pilots coming to the back of the plane to use the 1 bathroom, when he’s finished ,I stop him and grill him on what s wrong,and how I saw them examining the plane before we got on etc…he proceeds to tell me, he’s not one to take chances..and he could fly it,but it’s more work for him,a nd the flight home was going to be another 3 and a half hours, but now by leaving later (a real blessing in disguise) we’re going to fly towards Oklahoma,and than cut over straight to Michigan,thus avoiding all the thunderstorms and tornado activity…and the flight will not be as long as what they had mapped out for them. And he wants to get home safely too. Needless to say I felt a bit better,and enjoyed his honesty…

When we did take off again, over an hour later, that same noise occurred but we got up safely and we did fly in the middle of two storms. I always pray that we don’t leave if there’s anything wrong..and that our Guardian Angels protect and cover us from all angles..and get us up there, and clear the paths of storms…and by golly they came thru again…and the storms were majestic and beautiful and the lightning all around us was spectacular and awesome and scary…but we rode smoothly thru it,as on angels wings…and safely landed to my dad ( he thankfully told my mom to get some sleep ) and sister Jody there to greet us at the airport… Thank God …

MORE TO COME OF THE ACTUAL VISIT..as reliving this tired me out..lol

I’m going back to Michigan Friday with Tim for a week. One of my 17 nieces and nephews are getting married..and we’re staying with my Mom and Dad..it should be so nice.

I just went in for a series regular role on a new HBO show.. It was a riot.. we’ll see what happens. tomorrow I go in for a new MTV docu/comedy…very silly…should be fun too.

I had a 2 hour interview with a fantastic man, Michael Sterling, who runs Sterlings Upstairs at Vitello’s in LA. It’s a new cabaret/supper club room. I would have to re-think my cabaret from NYC as it doesn’t demand a full band here and I would have to guarantee at least 60 people…it holds 90. Very classy. They have a 4 course dinner first, and then the cabaret follows..after the chewing, and dishes are cleared…something to ponder.

alright grand rapids here we come..

YESTERDAY WAS EXCITING, AND SCARY AND THRILLING ALL AT ONCE. MY CALL TIME WAS 9 30 AM, AND I LEFT EARLY AND GOT THERE AN HOUR EARLY SO I MADE SOME STOPS ALONG THE WAY…TO STALL FOR TIME. THEY BROUGHT ME TO MY OWN TRAILER, WHICH HAD A TV/CD/DVD/STEREO, FRIDGE, MICROWAVE AND ALL IMPORTANT BATHROOM…AND MY WARDROBE. I WAS THEN ESCORTED TO MAKEUP, WHERE SHE DID IT BEAUTIFULLY, UNDERSTATED EXCEPT FOR BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK, AS I WAS WEARING ALL BLACK..AND 4 INCH HEELS, WHICH THANKFULLY I DIDN’T HAVE TO WALK IN. NEXT, THE SWEET HAIR HELPER HELPED CURL MY HAIR AND WE TALKED AT LENGTH…

THEN IT WAS REHEARSAL TIME, WHERE I MET EVERYONE!! AND THEY ANNOUNCED MY PRESENCE AND THEY ALL CLAPPED AND WELCOMED ME. THE ACTOR PLAYING DR. CHRISTIAN TROY, JULIAN IN REAL LIFE, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE CHARMING AND FUNNY… THAT IMMEDIATELY PUT ME AT EASE, AND THE ACTRESS PLAYING KIMBER/KELLY WAS SO SWEET AND GORGEOUS..I TOLD HER SHE LOOKED LIKE MARILYN MONROE…THEY WERE FUN TO WATCH AND LEARN FROM…WE REHEARSED A FEW TIMES, THEY DISCUSSED CAMERA SHOTS, AND THEN WE WENT BACK TO OUR TRAILERS…AND WAITED FOR THE NEXT TIME TO SHOOT AFTER THEY SET UP CAMERAS. I DIDN’T TURN ON TV OR ANYTHING…JUST KEPT GOING OVER LINES, AND THE NOTES THE DIRECTOR GAVE ME. I LOVED HIM. HE ACTUALLY CALLED ME AT HOME AND TOLD ME WHY I WAS CAST, AND HIS CLARITY AND ENERGY AND JOY WERE CONTAGIOUS.

WE WERE CALLED BACK AND DID THE SCENE MANY TIMES, MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, AND MANY DIFFERENT CAMERA SHOTS…THEN WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE CAMERAS TO FOCUS ON MY REACTIONS…IT WAS LUNCH..OHHHHHHHH…HAD TO WAIT FOR OVER AN HOUR. THE DIRECTOR HAD GREAT IDEAS ABOUT DIFFERENT TAKES, BUT WHEN THE BOSS OF THE SHOW ARRIVED TO WATCH, HE ASKED ME TO DO IT ‘BITCHY’…WELL THAT WON THE TAKE…SO WE CONTINUED IN THAT STYLE… IT WAS FUN…FAST…AND WHEN I HUNG UP MY OUTFIT, SIGNED MY CONTRACT, AND TOOK OFF THE KILLER SHOES, I LEFT PARAMOUNT STUDIOS, LOOKING TO MY RIGHT,WHERE EDDIE MURPHY WAS FILMING HIS NEW MOVIE, AND TO MY LEFT WHERE ‘EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS’ AND ‘MONK’ WERE BEING SHOT.. AND SO MUCH HISTORY ON THIS LOT… AND I THANKED GOD FOR THIS GIFT, FOR THIS GREAT DAY, 5 HOURS OF BEING HERE, AND I GRABBED A REFRESHING DIET PEPSI FROM CRAFT SERVICES, A BAG OF SKITTLES, AND DROVE HOME…WITH MY BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK AND HEAVY FOUNDATION..

2 HOURS LATER I MET MY HUSBAND TIM, AND HOWARD TUCKER FOR FURTHER CELEBRATIONS AND CATCHING UP AT THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY IN PASADENA. IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE HOWARD, AND TIM AND I FINISHED OUR DINNERS BEFORE HOWARD EVEN HAD 2 BITES OF HIS SALAD..AS HE REGALED US WITH SO MANY INTERESTING STORIES OF FRIENDSHIPS AND CONNECTIONS, AND HOW JERSEY BOYS HAS TOUCHED AND BONDED SO MANY PEOPLE…AND NEW FRIENDSHIPS HAVE BLOOMED FROM THIS SHOW…AND IT WAS JUST A REALLY NICE WAY TO END A ADVENTUROUS DAY, AND WE SHARED MY PICK OF BANANA CREAM CHEESECAKE (I LOVE THE WHIP CREAM AND THE BANANA PART CUZ THAT WAS WHAT I HAD WHEN TIM BROUGHT ME THERE ON MY BDAY WHEN WE WERE DATING)… AND HOWARD DROVE OFF AND WAS TO MEET SOME JBOYS FRIENDS FROM THE WEST COAST TODAY…ANYWAY, THAT WAS MY FRIDAY…NOT SURE YET WHEN IT AIRS…BUT IT WAS FUN…AND THAT’S A WRAP!

ALRIGHT I BOOKED THE NIP/TUCK PART. I SHOOT THIS FRIDAY..I PLAY A CASTING DIRECTOR AND WILL TELL YOU MORE AFTER I SHOOT IT. MY DRESSER, KELLY KINSELLA IS IN TOWN ,SO WE’RE HOPING TO HOOK UP THIS WEEKEND. I LOVE THIS GIRL.BESIDES PUTTING UP WITH ALL OF OUR PERSONALITIES AND MOOD SHIFTS, SHE ENDURED ME THROWING MY LAUNDRY ON HER ALOT..BUT SHE MAKES ME LAUGH NO LIKE OTHER, AND YOU MUST CATCH HER 1 WOMAN SHOW WHEN SHE DOES IT AGAIN.

ALSO I THINK WE’RE SEEING HOWARD ,MAYBE AFTER I FILM THE SHOW, ON FRIDAY.

ALSO I HEARD TRAVIS WAS ON AS FRANKIE, AND ROCKED THE HOUSE. HE NEEDS TO PLAY THAT PART. HE’S THAT GOOD. AND HE AND JEN HIS NEW WIFE, I REALLY MISS AND LOVE.

HI JUST A QUICK NOTE

I’M GOING TO FRESNO FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH TIM. I’M LOVING BEING BACK. I HAD MY 1ST TV AUDITION SINCE BEING HOME FOR NIP/TUCK…I GOT CALLED BACK YESTERDAY…AND GOT ANOTHER PHONE CALL FROM AGENT…A LITTLE WHILE LATER…DETAILS TO COME…LOL

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY EVERYBODY

I haven’t written in a bit, because I felt that what I wanted to share was so frivolous in light of John Altieri’s passing. I couldn’t even get through Eric Bergen and Eric Gutmans’ tributes, I was so just so sad and haunted by it all. I only met him a few times, when the 1st Nat’l Tour was rehearsing and we saw their final run thru before leaving, and he was quite hilarious and precise as Bob Crewe.

I do know that on Wednesday I went with Steve Orich to the opening night of Flora the Red Menace, here at LA’s Reprise, and not a few casting directors, and industry people were also mourning his passing…Steve even said that about 5 years ago, John had done some painting in his house…and everyone had nothing but nice things to say, and bewilderment at his short life.

We’ve constantly been praying for his family and those close to him that they would feel Gods comfort in this time.

Last Friday night ,right before the big Vegas Opening, Tim and I received tickets ,that went at 1500$ a pop ,to THE RACE TO ERASE MS,thrown by Tommy Hillfiger and Nancy Davis.This is an amazing Gala that raises money for those suffering from MS, and the celebrities and doctors and socialites in attendance were astounding .

TIm and I arrived early,as you never know what traffic will be like on a Friday evening. It was held at the Hyatt Regency on Ave of the Stars (no less) and Tim knew the fire marshal of the event who gave us all the back door entrances and first line approvals.

Bob Gaudio was kind enough to put me in touch with Frankie , AS HE WAS THIS YEARS ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!!!!!!,LAST YEAR BEING EARTH ,WIND AND FIRE,and we watched some of his sound check than his tour mgr,Dean brought us up to Frankie. Frankie is always so gracious, and complimentary to me,and I”m always surprised when he remembers me, as we know there are multiple casts…but he took the time to talk with Tim and me for about a half hour. And he was so fascinating telling us about his life, and how hard it was to get where he is now, and how WORK is his love, his life, his mistress..He was just humble and soft spoken and so kind and funny. Thank you for such a wonderful moment and evening. He said how this crowd, he knew he had to win them over,because they weren’t there just for his entertainment. And he was so right,but he did win them over.

We than proceeded to the SILENT AUCTION room, which was this huge ballroom with bids going for anything from Paris Hiltons clothing line, perfume, to a Maltese puppy (which sold for 17,000.00) to a motorcycle signed by ? I forgot ,to a private jet , to signed photos of Aly and AJ???? it was mind boggling.. Free Drinks everywhere…

A photographer asked to take Tim and my photo.. very glamorous, than our friend scooped us up to get in the front line for the RED CARPET arrivals.. MY oh My.. I was like a kid in a candy store. I”m a huge fan of DANCING W THE STARS, so here comes Samantha Harris, who is gracious, bubbly ,tiny , gorgeous saying hello to us and than confronting oever 300 photographers SCREAMING HER NAME JUST LIKE IN THOSE SNL SKITS, hilarious. Alright let me just name a few that went thru that same process, and when they pose for the photo it’s the most superficial, stiff ,weird pose, that looks fantastic in print..and everyone was tinier in real life…so that 10lb camera weight theory is true…Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rhinna, Anne Heche and her new man, Julian and Derek Huff from Dancing with the Stars, and Christian dela Fuente and his wife, and those chiseled dancers from the show, who all danced in the LIVE TOMMY HILLFIGER FASHION SHOW,Howie Mandel, Nicky Hilton, the lady from KTLA morning show,Cheryl Ladd GORGEOUS<, Ray Romano, Tom Arnold, Illeana Douglas, January Jones, Ali Landry, Josie Bissett,Tara Reid, Daisy Fuentes, Marlee Matlin, Garcelle Beauvais, Andrea Bowen, Emmy Rossum, Kristi Yamaguchi, Leeaza Gibbons, Maria Menendous, Shannon Elizabeth and last but not least Paris Hilton, who really was last, and posed like you would think, but turned her back to hike up her front…it was so fun.

Inside the floral arrangement s gorgeous..fillet mignon, mac and cheese,grilled veggies,desert plate, more drinks, live Fashion Show with all of Tommy Hilfiger’s models and some of the above and dancers, live auction…and than Frankie…

I’m telling you, it was real Hollywood Glamor..and swank, and we went home with those coveted goody bags..and Tim is stopped a few times, ‘are those Tommy Hilfigers new shades?’ why yes they are…such fun..here are a few photos..

happy mommy’s day.. Thanks MOM for LIFE… I love you.

OK I’LL WRITE MORE ABOUT THE AMAZING EVENT TIM AND I WENT TO FRIDAY NIGHT. IT WAS CALLED “THE RACE TO ERASE MS”. YOU CAN LOOK ON THE WEBSITE AND SEE WHO AND WHAT HAS GONE ON THERE BEFORE. SUFFICE IT TO SAY FOR NOW, WE CHATTED WITH FRANKIE FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR AT HIS SOUND CHECK(AS HE WAS THE EVENING’S ENTERTAINMENT) AND WE WERE WITNESS TO PHOTOGRAPHER/CELEBRITY PAPARAZZI RAZZ MAZZ TAZZ…

BUT FIRST, I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE ERICA PICCININI ON HER RUN AS LORRAINE ON BWAY…SHE’S THE 2ND OF US GIRLS TO LEAVE…BUT THE GOOD/GREAT NEWS IS HEATHER FERGUSON IS TAKING OVER AS LORRAINE STARTING TUESDAY…I’M SO HAPPY FOR HEATHER. SHE HAS FLAWLESSLY COVERED EACH OF THE 3 GIRLS TRACKS AND ROLES HERE ON BWAY, AND EVEN TWICE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION LEARNED AND WENT ON ON THE ROAD WITH 1 DAY REHEARSAL…SHE’S FANTASTIC AS AN ACTRESS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TO ME, A FRIEND.

I WISH YOU ALL COULD SEE THE PRICELESS SCRAPBOOK SHE MADE FOR ME AS A GOING AWAY GIFT. SHE WORKED ON IT OVER 4 WEEKS, WHILE TAKING COLLEGE COURSES, AND DOING THE SHOW, ..AND IT COVERS MY JOURNEY FROM LA JOLLA, TO BWAY..IT’S A COFFEE TABLE EYE CATCHER..THAT IS BEAUTIFUL..AND EACH TIME I CRY OR LAUGH, OR SEE SOMETHING NEW AND NUANCED THAT IGNITES A MEMORY…

ALRIGHT CHEER HER ON…AND CONGRATS TO THE VEGAS CAST…WE SAW FRANKIE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AND HE WAS TO CATCH A PLANE FOR OPENING THE NEXT NIGHT…AND I KNOW TIM AND I DIDN’T LEAVE TILL CLOSE TO 1 AM, AND HE WAS ALSO HAVING HIS BDAY ON SATURDAY…LOVE TO YOU ALL…MORE DETAILS ABOUT GALA COMING…

Let me preface this by saying, thank goodness it wasn’t my fault.

So I’m driving down the 110 fway to pick up Tim from LAX airport. I have my Christian music blaring and I’m singing along, joyful cuz Tim is coming back from 3 days in Charleston, SC and I just ran 6 miles around the Rose Bowl and it’s a beautiful day. I’m almost at the turn off to the airport, when I notice to my left that a huge, door frame sized piece of wood? is free floating over the median from the on coming traffic and towards our lanes. Suddenly it changes direction and when it comes to my lane,turns and comes at me HEAD ON.. I thought “you gotta be kidding” it seemed so surreal… I grasped the steering wheel with both hands firmly, closed my eyes, still going 65 miles per hour, and calmly beckoned JESUS (with the clear intention, please help me)…I hear a slam and crashing of glass, but felt nothing on my face..I opened my eyes, to find myself still in my lane, no windshield broken, the car to my left now swerving to avoid what just hit me…I see the left front fender bending towards me, but I’m still able to drive and get to LAX to get Tim.

My heart is now beating , but I’m thanking God and my sweet, powerful Guardian Angel for an absolute Heavenly Intervention…I than call my dad, who tells me call 911..which I did…than got to the airport…and told Tim…here’s some photos..Now we have to go to auto repair and Enterprise….thanks for your prayers.
