Hey guys! Just wanted to update and say that I’m still around — News has been slow, since Idina is now in Los Angeles working on her album for a couple of weeks. She plans to return mid-July to NYC to complete filming for Enchanted, and then she’s OFF to London at the start of August! Time flies, huh? Rehearsals for the West End’s premiere of Wicked will begin in August, leading up to the September opening (see sidebar for details.) Exact date of Idina’s final performance is not known exactly, but it’s been reported to me that she will finish at the very end of December! She will not be performing into January. Exact info to come shortly.

So, since it’s been a bit slow, I’ll likely be adding more pictures to the Gallery. I have a bunch piling up that I haven’t gotten to yet. I’m trying to organize other parts of the site as best I can, so if you’re on and something suddenly looks weird or whatever, don’t worry! That’s just me! Still trying to make the site the best it can be.

Have a great 4th of July weekend (to everyone in the States), and to everyone else, Happy Summer! __ Kim

I’m just updating to say that I’m going to be away until Sunday, so there won’t be any updates until Monday at the earliest (unless I get internet while I’m gone.) So if you write to me or something happens with the site, just please be patient and I’ll help you/fix anything when I get back.

With that, I’ll just update on Idina’s current stuff: She’s still shooting Enchanted and will be taking a short break over the next 3 weeks to work on her solo album – Not too much news other than that, but it’s nice to know the CD is in production. Also, as a parting gift, I’ve updated the Gallery with a few new pictures and HQs, which can all be seen in the Recent Uploads section. But I’ve also added a few GREAT outtakes from the Vanity Fair magazine shoot with the Wicked cast done by Henry Leutwyler back in 2003. Enjoy, they’re gorgeous.

I’ve just received confirmation that, unfortunately, Idina will no longer be involved with the upcoming V-Day Festival. I know a lot of you have been wondering about what her part was going to be and when, however, due to scheduling conflicts with her film role, she is unable to participate. Hopefully nobody’s plans have been interferred with, and the festival is still something worth checking out if you’re in the NYC area because it’s a great cause!

This past weekend, Idina and Taye attended the 2006 Swarovski CFDA Dinner, and I’ve added a collection of 19 HQ images to the Gallery! Idina’s Ask the Dust co-star Salma Hayek and Enchanted co-star Amy Adams were both on hand as well. Also, 13 more HQ images have also been added to the album for “The Today Show” appearance last week! Some beautiful new additions, check them out!

Some of you may have noticed I’ve been updating the gallery with HQ pictures over the past week, and I thought it was about time I let you all know what’s new – Thanks to Cassie and Justine, I’ve gotten over 100 more large high quality pics of Idina to share with you. Below is a list of all the updated albums, and believe it or not, there’s still more to come! (I just couldn’t get them all yet, I soon will.) Enjoy!!

Phew! That’s a lot of pictures! Like I said, there will be a lot more added when things slow down for me and I can get them tagged and organized (sorry about the tags, everyone, but I thought they were necessary.) Let me know what you think of the pics!
