Idina is scheduled to be part of a two-week performance festival this summer titled “Until the Violence Stops (NYC)”, which is in honor of V-Day, a commemoration of women and to stop violence against them. She’s listed among many other stars, including Jane Fonda, Isabella Rossellini, Phylicia Rashad, Salma Hayek, Tina Fey, and more!

The festival will begin June 12, 2006, and will continue over 2 weeks time. More information can be found at VDay.org. I will also be posting more about Idina’s participation in the festival as it gets closer.

Sorry about the lack of news lately, everyone — Not much to report, though filming on Idina’s new movie Enchanted has started in New York City. I believe Idina begins filming her scenes shortly, so that’ll be fantastic.

But! Better late than never, I replaced all the download links to direct links on the site. This will make downloading the sounds and linked videos much easier, I would think. Several videos on the Television Videos Page are still linked to MegaUpload, but I’m planning on changing those next and making them connect to the site. I know people don’t like that download program (I don’t either), so it’ll be gone soon.

Again, when more news appears, I will post it here. Later guys!

Information about this event has been circulating for quite awhile, but I wanted to wait to announce it when it was a little closer so it would be fresher in peoples’ minds. The 10-year anniversary Benefit of the original Broadway production of Rent is scheduled to take place on April 24, 2006, and all of the OBC (original cast), including Idina, are planning to take part in the celebration! Tickets are extremely expensive to buy (beginning at $1000, and going up to $25,000!), but for those in the area, a limited number of front row “lotto” tickets for $20 are available on the morning of the show. It will take place at the theatre that has housed the show for the past 10 years on Broadway, the Nederlander. Read more about the event at Playbill.com.

Hey folks — Once again, there are some issues with the downloads (audio and video). I need to go through and replace all of them with direct links (I have already done the Television Videos Page, so those links work, as do the ones in the Streaming Video and Music Video Pages.) All the other pages I will do, hopefully, this weekend. It’s been a busy couple weeks, I’m in the middle of mid-terms. So sorry for the inconvenience, everyone! Thank you for the patience, everything will be fixed shortly.

Just a small update today: Thanks to Chelly, I’ve added 13 High Quality images of Idina at the Hollywood Meets Motown gala last week! They are simply gorgeous and totally MASSIVE! Enjoy! There should be more on the way, hopefully in the next couple of days, so be sure to check the album in the future to see more HQ pictures.
