Not wanting to miss an opportunity to prepare for my role in Jerry Springer—The Opera, I got a little help from my brother Steve and sister Kathy while home for the holidays. Next on "The Jerry Springer Show" – "Holiday Stress Leads to Christmas Violence and Sibling Rivalry." |

I recently read the Jerry Springer script for the first time backstage at Les Misérables. I suddenly realized how much I'm going to miss my simple red vest. Although I do think if Alain Boublil had used a little more profanity, Les Miz would still be running. |

Over the holidays I ran into my friend Hedda Lettuce at a concert. Since I'll be playing a transsexual, I couldn't resist asking her for a little advice. The only thing I can share is "the importance of lip gloss." I promised the rest would remain confidential. |
