community.livejournal.com/japan_calls/ This is an awesome comm where they're getting a bunch of celebs... more every day... to agree to record personalized voice messages (or videos, or in the case of Nia Vardalos apparently a phone call! lol) that will be auctioned to fans to raise $ for Japan! Scroll down and there's a list of those that have confirmed. Some pretty big names in there already, including Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Bell, Imogen Heap, Eliza Dushku, Kyan from "Queer Eye," many more! And from QAF-land, Scott Lowell! MEGA-UPDATE: In addition to Scotty, we now also have Peter Paige, Michelle Clunie, and... *drumroll*... Randy Harrison!!!I think the auction should be starting in the next few days, so I encourage everyone to check it out, let others know, and come bid! Thanks! thank you so much gh69 for this news ...awesome that they participate in something so deserving. And thank you for the link also. Good for them !

OMG...there's been a sighting.... Quatro! Have you seen his latest commercial?!? Sad news folks: Gale will not be doing Campus Movie Fest this year. IDK why, but I asked them directly and they said NO.

Randy has his heart in the right place. Cwazy i love your picture of Quatro! Berlin lost a worldstar - Knut, the ice bear. (Anyone heard of him? I´m afraid not...) And Liz Taylor died! OMG! On a lighter note, my pictures of the day: Randy and Gale go together like peaches and cream! Spring is coming!

Elly... Of course I've heard of Knut! He was so young! I thought they lived into their 20's and 30's. Let us know if they did an autopsy (I'm serious)....it's quite a loss. As is Elizabeth Taylor, although she had 79 years and I was sort of expecting her to not last much longer with the congestive heart condition. She was in the hospital only two or three weeks ago and came home from that episode. She will always be beautiful....... Grape, I'd heard he wasn't going to be at the CMF only yesterday, from another friend. What a shame; I'm beginning to feel pangs of withrawal. Think he'll do the event of helping the poor or hungry as he did last year....can't recall the name and am to lazy to look it up? You know, the butter pats on his eyes? Quatro is the star in his new commercial! Here's a little puzzle he made up...can you complete it? And I think this is a picture that I might have seen once or maybe not, from a season one premiere:

It turned out that he had an epileptic shock and drowned in the water. Yes, it´s a big loss. So many foreign tourists came just to see Knut. Thank you for the picture! I think i have never seen this one before.

My Gale and Randy fix for today: Well I REALLY like this photo especially since person on the left who is partially cropped out is me talking to Randy after a performance of Amadeus at BTF. He's looking down at 2 customized tee shirts I gave him

elly, everyone knows who Knut was! I'm sorry to hear about his unfortunate death, but he was a happy bear, everyone loved him... R.I.P. Knut. emelwhy, you seem to be so close to Randy in that pic that you could have smelled his cologne (if he was wearing any)! I read somewhere an article from a fan of Gale who described smelling his cologne while having him write her autograph... And then I also read somewhere that in Boston when they were doing autographs for fans Gale had his plastic cup full of whiskey (if I remember correctly) so I can just imagine how he smelled then ;D This is one of my favourite pics of Gale (if I were a gay man I'd probably have dirty thoughts ;D)

Elly, Knut made me very sad! They kept showing the video of him falling over and over again on the news. It was very disturbing. Here is a pic of him when he was an adorable cub! Brings tears to my eyes... I'm also sad about Elizabeth Taylor, Cwazy, a true actress and activist. They called her one-shot Liz b/c it usually only took her one try to do any scene. The death of a legend... On a happier note, here is a link for Quatro's latest commercial: Cwazy, Quatro did the puzzle and had fun, but he has a hard time holding a pencil in his hooves, so I had to help! Greta, you are correct about the LA Mission Easter Volunteer Event he attended last year. He helped feed (passed out margarine : to the homeless. Qafnewbie, you saw SWAN already? Was if funny, like a spoof? Glad you got to do that, I know the whole community is super-jealous! ETA: Tina, I love your comments on Gale's scent! Cologne, whiskey and cigarettes is what I'd imagine him smelling like... *sigh*
All the pics are awesome, you guys rock! XOXOXO

Glad you got to do that, I know the whole community is super-jealous! actually 3x, I'm embarrassed to say :[ It was truly a good show each and every time and the actors really feed off the audience and their reactions. So much talent on that stage, every single one of them. I actually LUV their parody so much better than the movie. Just so much creativity trying to show Nina's world. I'm really lucky I got the chance to see it, met some wonderful randyfans and Randy.

It was after the Friday reading and I was with a friend who was kind enough to introduce me to Randy. Him and Jenn were getting ready to leave but he was gracious enough to chat for a bit. We shook hands, praised him for his performance, how good the show was, how much we enjoyed it and that we're coming back again Saturday. My friend told him I was from out of town and it's my second time seeing him (Notes reading & Joe's Pub last April). He patiently signed some stuff for us and also took a pic with me . We let him know that we're looking forward to BTF in July (my first trip) and seeing him play Tommy. Randy was friendly and polite during our chat (I was surprised I was able to talk at all ). It was probably all of 10 minutes but it really made my night and trip to NY a very memorable one ;D.

Qafnewbie thank you so much for the report!!! I´m not jealous, not at all - i´m just happy for you. You are always such a friendly and modest person YOU SO DESERVE IT!! Apparently i couldn´t read between the lines (like Grape) when you said "This reading is so hilarious and if you can make it, please do. LUV it." My mistake. And three times! Wow! And i love your new avatar! Well I REALLY like this photo especially since person on the left who is partially cropped out is me talking to Randy emelwhy please don´t be upset. I´m sure that Leda was not the person who cropped you out. It happens all the time when you put a personal pic on the internet. Pictures spread like wildfire. You know what? I found your avatar-pic posted somewhere else. (And i saved it promptly because i love this photo! ;D) Ta-da! Grape, thank you for the Baby-Knut. He was just heartbreakingly cute.
