Was never a Cher fan, though always thought she was an A+ interview subject. But I don't wish her any ill will now that she's back (at 67!) searching for a pop hit. Still, it's very hard for me to find anything positive to say about her The Voice appearance other than: She looked young. She didn't look good or stylish or interesting, she mostly mimed and the song is beyond generic. (See the recipe for Cher's wig here.) It just isn't what becomes a legend most...
Above, Madonna Dietrich!
Tonight was Madonna's Cinema Society-sponsored premiere for Madonna: The MDNA Tour on Epix, held at the Paris on W. 58th. Marlene Dietrich cut the ribbon on this theater in 1948...remember that, because it's on the test.
Outside the theater, fans hoping to get in.
I dashed up in the rain around 7:15PM. There was a small but determined crowd of contest winners and hopefuls across the street, peopled by most of the same folks we would later see shouting at Madonna from within the Golden Triangle on the big screen. These are the people who go everywhere Madonna goes without fail. Do they have jobs? Where do they get their money? (The same questions must be asked of me.) It's always fun to see them...and it feels like home.
I bumped into Frankie Grande, a dazzling NYC talent who was one of the Born Yesterday producers, was a former Mr. Broadway and who tells me his next work will be on stage in Pageant. He was with his adorable pal Isaac, and both looked spiffy in the muggy mist. This is a hard thing to accomplish.
