I wonder if they’ll cancel Chelsea Handler, 65$+TAXES+FEE’s just to see standup comedy? Thats a bit much.
Lo siento, my dear gus.
Thanks, Canuck. They must have known when they booked him that the Tonys were quite likely, given how his Shylock went over. Though I’m a bit relieved. I always get embarrassed by how much I enjoy nonsense like this. Plus, I’ve still got tix to the Ewan McGregor event.
Honey, you’re talking to the girl who’s bringing an extra bra to the IGBP talk next month…
And don’t forget the slightly stale cake he likes!
First George Lopez cancels, and now Pacino too?! If the United Way Breakfast bails on the Paramount, then I’m just giving up.
Replacement: Robert De Niro making faces at a mirror.
@5: Not “slightly” stale. He likes his cake to be just shy of granite. As in, days in the open air. Up to a week. Seriously.
gus, the thought crossed my mind. The only thing that restrains me is the possibility of getting Slog-banned for life…
@8 Cake like granite? I can totally do that!
Pacino has to go in for some botox on the forehead, under the eyes, and above the lip before he hits the Tony Awards stage.
