Mister D: Not much happening. I guess I’ll apologize for Bette taking a break to spend with her family. I know…how selfish of her! She just doesn’t give enough does she???? 🙂
Oh, boo and hiss yourselves. It’s just a yoke…for those who are sense of humor deprived. Photo: Scavullo
I was watching Liza Minnelli on Larry King and of course she mentioned Bette, Cher, and Streisand. I didn’t have time to look up the transcript, so it took a Divine Dutchie (Queen Sara) from halfway around the world to bother to send that certain part. Here it is in all it’s glory:
MINNELLI: I think that sometimes just personally, this is only my own personal opinion, I think that if you’re a kid and you don’t know how you feel, plus you’re not allowed to talk about how you feel because you’re being told it’s wrong, every once in a while you can find a voice that says just what you’re feeling and you’re drawn to it because for you it’s the truth. And, I’ve been lucky enough to be given that voice.
KING: As has Bette Midler.
MINNELLI: Yes indeed but she’s so funny. Oh, God I love her. She is so funny.
KING: And Cher.
MINNELLI: Oh, but Cher’s divine, yes. I mean you know we all do what we do and I’m such a huge fan of both of them and, of course, Barbra Streisand, who is a friend and a colleague and I just adore her.
Other about being wrong who’s divine (Bette, not Cher), nice to hear.
Love
Sara
Mister D: Anyway, Ms. Minnelli was on Larry King promoting the release of her fabulous Emmy winning 1973 TV special “Liza With A Z” on April 4th on DVD. Showtime will have a special Freeview of it on Saturday April 1st. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat…one of the best things she has ever done.

And last but not least, Google.com has a nice little film you should see before it gets ripped down.

Yes, it’s funny, but oh how sad and true…get these creeps out! Why has it taken so long for people to start coming to their senses?
Love, Mister D
