How amazing was Idina on Glee last night? SO amazing! Seth Rudetsky would say she was amahhhhzing. She finally got her time in the solo spotlight, singing a wonderfully poignant rendition of “Funny Girl,” and showed off her acting chops in emotional scenes with costar Lea Michele. Their “Poker Face” duet was fun and had a surprising emotional streak to it. Both tracks are available on iTunes – click their hyperlinked titles above to purchase and help Idina climb the iTunes singles charts for the second week in a row!

IdinaMenzel.com has announced the remaining episodes of Glee that Idina will be appearing in:

Episode 1×19 – May 18 – “Dream On”
Episode 1×20 – May 25 – “Theatricality”
Episode 1×21 – June 1 – “Funk”
Episode 1×22 – June 8 – “Journey”

SPOILER ALERT!
It’s also been reported that creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed Idina will be singing in the episode that features a Lady Gaga theme. Murphy stated, “Lea [Michele] and Idina Menzel will do an acoustic version of ‘Poker Face’ that [Lady Gaga] blessed and that she wanted us to do. It’s sort of like a stripped-down mother-daughter ‘Poker Face’ that Lady Gaga was involved in.” Idina will also be performing “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables. when the show returns! Intriguing!

I’ve also added a handful of [dreaded but coveted] paparazzi photos from a March 13 outing Idina & Taye made to see the new Alice In Wonderland. Click the thumbnails below to view.

While viewing this site on my iPhone’s browser today, I had a thought – wouldn’t it be nice if IDINA-HERE had an official iPhone app? Based on a quick ask via @idina_here, it seems a good number of fans there would be interested in having a site app for their iPhone/iPod Touch (and many for their Blackberries, too).

UPDATE!
I discovered that I can provide an app-like version of this site by some simple coding modifications. Now when you view this site on your mobile device (iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, Droid, etc), you will see an option at the bottom to turn on the Mobile Theme. This will provide you with a device-friendly version of the site! Pretty cool, huh?

Hi, everyone! If you’re a regular visitor, you’ve probably noticed at least one of two things:

1) We’re still experiencing “hackings” by various exploiters. I’m still troubleshooting it, and while it’s happening with less frequency than it used to, it’s still happening, and even one time is too often. Certain browsers may give you a scary “this site may harm your computer” screen when you navigate to the site. My apologies for this, but it happens when Google catches an infection before me, so they block the site to help prevent innocent users from having their computers infected. I check the files multiple times per day, but I can’t always catch the infections immediately, so I ask that you all diligently scan your PCs using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software, in addition to your usual virus scanners. Portions of the site may be unavailable in the coming days/weeks as I continue troubleshooting this. Make sure you follow our Twitter page, where I will announce when pages will be down. I thank everyone for your continued patience with this frustrating situation, and I appreciate everyone who notifies me when they see there’s an infection.

2) Since news is non-existent right now, I thought it would be fun to reminisce about our favorite Idina moments. Head over to our sister community on LiveJournal to watch everyone’s favorite performances and contribute your own memories.
