‘RICHARD & JUDY’ VID + FAN PICS!

October 31, 2006 @ 2:27 pm

Sorry for making all of you guys wait so long for this. Thanks to Hayley for sending me the .wmv file – Idina’s appearance on “Richard & Judy” (from back in August) has been added to the Talk Shows section of the Video Archive. I’m still attempting to get an even better quality version off of a DVD, which was sent to me by the lovely Charlotte, so if the video is replaced, I promise to let you all know.

“BLUE PETER” VIDEO ADDED!

October 30, 2006 @ 2:19 pm

Thanks to the wonderful Debra, I’ve uploaded today’s episode of “Blue Peter”, the UK TV program, in which the cast of Wicked appeared to sing “One Short Day” from the show. Idina and Helen gave a short interview at the end (both looked stunning), so be sure to download the video to check it out! It can be found in the Talk Shows section of the Video Archive, or downloaded directly below. ["Richard & Judy" will be coming soon, I promise! Thanks to all those people who have e-mailed me offering their help, it's much appreciated.] wassat

‘WICKED’ CAST ON “BLUE PETER” TOMORROW!

October 29, 2006 @ 2:29 pm

Announced yesterday at ‘Wicked Day’ in London, the cast of the West End production will be appearing on the British show “Blue Peter” tomorrow, Oct. 30th @ 5pm on BBC 1 (then repeated at 6:30pm on the CBBC Channel.) The cast is supposed to be on, which I’m assuming means Idina will as well, but I don’t know for sure. Visit the Official Site here. Hopefully someone will be able to tape it so I can get it up online (I’m still working on “Richard & Judy”, sorry guys – the DVD doesn’t play on my player, so I have to find a different player.) Anyways, hope everyone sees it!

Also, I’m collecting more Fan Photos to add on the next Gallery update, so if anyone has any they’d like displayed in the Gallery, please send them as attachments to: kim[at]idina-here.com.

I huge thank you goes out to Emma Jane and another Anonymous contributer for making generous donations to the site! It is so appreciated. wassat

[ps. Of course, I must thank everyone for sending in their questions for the upcoming Q&A! I hope everyone will understand that I can't send all of them, as much as I may like to. Also, please be patient while we wait for her to find time in her busy schedule to do this. I will send them on Monday morning, so we'll see from there smile)

GALLERY UPDATE #3 + Q&A INFO!

October 27, 2006 @ 1:39 am

OK, Q&A stuff first — I have received hundreds and hundreds of submissions over the past week, and I’ve gotten some great questions! However, due to the overwhelming response, I’m going to make the cut-off time a little sooner (just for my own sanity)… so the new deadline will be Saturday, October 28 @ 8pm. That way, I can send the questions off Monday morning smile – I hope that’s alright with everyone. Also, just a reminder: because there are so many submissions, not everyone’s will be added! I tried to pick a variety of things to cover all the bases, but that means cutting out a lot. Definitely don’t want to overwhelm Idina on the first go-around. Right? Right. I knew you’d understand. wassat

Next, more Gallery updates! Still going through the last of the HQ pics I have, but since more albums were updated, I thought I’d let you all know. Most of these pics are new, though some are – like said before – replacing older, smaller, LQ versions. So check out the new ones by looking at the recently added section, or by clicking on the album links below:

    SURPRISE! ASK IDINA YOUR QUESTIONS!

    October 20, 2006 @ 11:32 am

    ANNOUNCEMENT: So I have quite a treat for everyone. You likely didn’t know this, but Idina and her people are big fans of this site! wassat They’ve agreed to allow me to set up a type of Q&A to send to Idina herself, which will require help from all of you! I have set up a new e-mail and a new submission form specifically for this, so that means if you have a question you’ve been dying to ask Idina, this is the time to ask it!

    Now don’t get too excited yet, ok? wink There are rules to this shin-dig, and everyone must read them. It’s a requirement! There are terms to this, and you all should understand them before proceeding with sending in you question. (I’ll know if you didn’t read them, trust me.)

    edit: This Q&A submission session will be CLOSED on Nov. 6 Wed. Oct. 31, 2006 Sat. Oct. 28, 2006. (wow! way less time is needed! smile) Get your questions in now! Once I’ve compiled all of them, they will be sent to Idina — Once she’s had the chance to answer them all, they’ll be returned to me to be posted on the site.

    So there you are! Surprise! Think good and hard about making your question great, because not all questions will be added to the Q&A. Okie dokie, onto the form!

    Read the rules, then send your question!
