Thanks for the scan Sara!!!

Mister D: In the Issue Date: 2006-04-01 of Billboard, Bette’s “Fever” rises into the Top 10 at Number 10! Now if they’d release the single on CD. You can order the vinyl single at Tower Records: Click Here

Dana writes in to remind us all that Michael Eisner’s “Conversations With Michael Eisner” starts on CNBC beginning March 28th. The reason this is of interest to you??? Bette is scheduled to be one of his guests on an upcoming show. Dana was lucky enough to see a little clip or ad of it during the Suze Orman show. Yes, like most of us, behind world peace of course, Dana dreams of being a millionairess! 🙂

Here are some pics from Bette’s appearance on The Parkinson Show…sorry they are only the little thumbnails, but I’ll take that over nothing at all: Click Here

And Miss Anne Marie from Australia , oh she of The Divine Miss M Tribute Show, writes in to say that she has launched a new website…she’s cleaned it up, updated it, added to it, and probably FDS’d herself into a stupor while doing it. Anyway, please check out her site and drop her a line. She’s got sass, but she doesn’t bite: Click Here

Miss Marie does her own singing, has her own band, and works her little fins off. I’ve heard from some of the Aussie Bette fans and they really love her show. And it’s a full show, not just a couple of songs. So all you Ozzies and Harriett’s (that was so lame!!!) check her out if she comes near your town.

Nice interview with Bruce Vilanch on AfterElton.com. I’m happy to say that I had a teeny part (as teeny as my weeny!) in setting it up! (smell me!) And please do check out my own site on Mister Vilanch: Click Here

As for me, I’ve still got email piled up in my inbox. Work is going great, but I think I have a good month and a half before things will really calm down. A young lady has just started working with me and she’s going to be great. I apologize but beg for your patience on my answering emails and my usual updates on other pages. I’m lucky to be able to put this stuff up…anyway, I appreciate those of you who have held out on emails or who just write in to share information with other BetteHeads…you guys and gals have just been fabulous and respectful.

Much love,

Mister D

PS: And I can’t leave without giving a shout out to my best friend, Darrell Redmond. If you wanna get lost in all things Bette circa the 70’s and 80’s, check out Bette On The Boards: Click Here

PSS: And this is for little ole me:

The 23rd Qualm

Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war,
I will find no exit, for thou art in office.
Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me.
Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion.
Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term,
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.
