I’ve found out that Idina will be appearing on the show around 7:15AM (EST). The Friday edition of the show is also part of a LIVE show, with a studio audience. This week’s musical guest is obviously Idina, and those who are able to gain entrance to the show will also be treated to a breakfast and a “bag full of goodies.” To find more information about the “Spotlight” series, click here.

I’m going to try to get a recording of the show, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to capture the stream with my internet being to flukey at the moment. If anyone can capture it and would like to send it to me afterwards to add to the site, I would be very appreciative!

Thanks everyone!

I’ve just received word from Idina’s camp that she will be making some promotional appearances this coming month. Most are not events that are generally open to the public (to see her live, that is), but will feature Idina showcasing new material.

Idina will be appearing on the radio program, The Whoopi Morning Show (aka “Wake Up with Whoopi”), on Sept. 14th in NYC. She is reportedly going to be performing at least one song from her new album. The Whoopi Morning Show airs from 5AM – 9AM on WKTU-FM (103.5) in NYC, as well as on several other affiliates throughout the country. To see if it’s playing at a station near you, click here. If not, you can always stream the program online at Whoopi.com, or through the various affiliate stations listed on the previous link. More information coming soon about the specific time Idina should make her appearance.

Later this month, Idina will be performing at the 2007 Dinner of Champions, which benefits Multiple Sclerosis research and is sponsored by Tom Sherak from Revolution Studios. This event will take place on Sept. 24th at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. To read more about this event, click here.

Also, remember that Idina will also be performing at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 17th for the “One Nite with Lite” concert featuring Michael Buble, KT Tunstall, Peter Cincotti, and John Ondrasik. The event is hosted by New York’s 106.7 FM. For more details, click here.

I know, I know, I promised the update earlier, but my internet wasn’t being cooperative and it took longer to update pictures. But I’ve done my best to put together a bunch of the photos I’ve had on my computer. I wasn’t able to find get the HQ versions of the “Save the Children” Benefit pictures, but hopefully I’ll get them soon for everyone. Below, I’ve listed the albums that have been updated. So take a look!

• Save the Children Benefit 2007 (15 MQs)
• Elisa Lipsky-Karasz Photoshoot (1 MQ)
• Tony Awards 2007 (12 HQs)

  I’d also like to thank Julie G. for being so generous and making a donation to the site! This site is only possible because all of you are so supportive, and I’m incredibly grateful!Thank you for being patient with me.

Already, pictures are appearing online of Idina at last night’s “Save the Children” Benefit event. I’ve added a small amount to the Gallery, but it’s still early yet – more are to come! But check out what’s been added so far by clicking on the thumbnails below. I’m simply in love with her dress (and necklace) — she looks radiant! Enjoy!

I have other images to add tomorrow, so I’m hoping to make another update then, with more pictures from this event, as well as past ones. So check back!

No, I’m not dead, I promise. My senior year of college is getting under way, and I’ve been distracted on many levels, so I apologize for my absence these past few weeks. I’m getting together a handful of pictures (many HQs!) that have piled up in my Pictures folder this summer, and I plan to add them to the site in the next day or two.

However, now I wanted to comment on a few rumors that are going around.
#1 – Idina and her relationship with husband, Taye Diggs.
I have gotten an unbelievable amount of mail sending me gossip-rag site links talking of relationship trouble, or inquiring about what is happening with them. As I’ve stated many times before, I do not comment on matters regarding Idina’s personal life. All I can say is that Idina is still together with her husband, and any and all gossip suggesting otherwise is exactly that: gossip. Rumors may continue, but the only instance in which I’ll say anything regarding troubles or the like on this site will be if a statement is released officially by Idina’s people. Only official information — no rumors!

#2 – Idina appearing in Australia’s production of Wicked
100% NOT HAPPENING. That is straight from her representatives. No Australia production nor any other production of Wicked is in Idina’s future. In case anyone thought otherwise, I wanted to clear things up.

Next, I have some info regarding a special Idina appearance. Slowly but surely, she’s beginning to come public with her new material from her solo album. According to her reps, she’s scheduled to be a featured performer at the Save the Children Benefit at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC on Sept. 6th. Idina is a member of the Honorary Committee for this 75th Anniversary Benefit.

Performing at the benefit will be singer, songwriter, and actress Idina Menzel, who won the Tony Award in 2004 for her performance as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the smash Broadway musical “Wicked.” She will be giving a special performance during the evening in addition to Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars who are also scheduled to perform throughout the night.

I’ve also heard rumblings that Idina has been popping up around LA for small gigs during the past couple of weeks, premiering her new material. If I hear anything about future gigs, I will post about them here. Hopefully some fans will get the chance to see our girl in action!

As I said before, a picture update will be coming soon, and I’ll be adding a bunch of new affiliates! Sorry to everyone who has been waiting for me to add what they’ve sent me. I’ve needed to organize everything, so hopefully it’ll be up and available soon. (And no, I did NOT forget about the Interactive section — I needed to change some of the game coding, so I will likely add that soon too.) Thanks guys!
