The actress, who has been acting for over three decades now, has made us all fall in love with her talent. Well, not only her craft, but the actress' fashion picks are also as stunning as she is. Back in 2015, the actress gave us style lessons as she posed for a magazine shoot in a s*xy bra and a brown leather mesh skirt
Jen started off her acting career with American TV and was shot to fame with her fashionista role as Rachel Green in the iconic sitcom Friends. Since the show's hit first season, the actress ruled both the silver and small screens.


She’s never one to shy away from controversy and Miley Cyrus lives up to her reputation in her upcoming interview with Chris Bath on Sunday Night.
The acclaimed Australian journalist sat down with the 21-year-old for a one-on-one for the Channel Seven current affairs program, and the Wrecking Ball singer doesn’t hold anything back.
Talking about her famous shift from child star to raunchy celebrity, Cyrus calls out Hollywood’s ‘double standard’ when it comes to her famous dance move.
‘Elvis, he wasn’t wearing the outfits I was wearing but he was coming out and he was doing like the OG twerking,’ she tells Bath.
The interview is set to air on Channel Seven on Sunday at 8.45pm.
‘Like, no one wants to admit that he was twerking, he was.
‘He was like sex. He was a symbol of sex but no one would have ever called Elvis a sl** because he wasn’t a girl.
‘It’s that double standard and I think I’m doing something for the double standard.’
The interview, which airs on Sunday, then gets into Cyrus’ risky fashion choices – something fans will get to see plenty of when she arrives for her Australian tour in October.
‘That’s just what I like to wear,’ said the former Hannah Montana star.
‘I never think about what someone is going to think. I’ve always been into fashion.
‘I grew up around Dolly Parton who is all… tits.
‘This dress is right out of her kind of book, I just don’t fill it the way she does.’

Pharrell Williams spends most of his time behind the camera, gawking at models as they shimmy, gyrate and pantomime riding a motorcycle to the singer’s funky second Girl single, “Come Get It Bae.” But what keeps the video from being an homage to George Michael’s “Too Funky” clip in 1992, when he leered at models through a camera lens, is Miley Cyrus’ appearance midway through. That’s when Williams steps out from behind the camera and joins his scantily clad guest – who is apparently on an overly caffeinated sugar high, judging from the amount of white powder she pours in her smiley-face cup – for some synchronized choreography to the song’s bridge and mean mugging in the end.
One of Williams’ songs and videos recently got its own homage when “Weird Al” Yankovic turned the singer’s inescapable 2013 hit “Happy” into a celebration of all things gauche on the Mandatory Fun track “Tacky.” While the parody points out any number of poor-taste behaviors, the video mirrors Williams’ 24-hour star-studded affair replacing the original’s celebrities (Steve Carell, Magic Johnson, Tyler, the Creator) with, well, weirder celebrities like Jack Black, Margaret Cho and Kristen Schaal.
But that hasn’t stopped Williams or his friends, who recently appeared as a guest on a horn-laden, dancey song, “She Came to Give It to You,” for Usher. That song, which also features Nicki Minaj, will likely appear on Usher’s upcoming eighth record.
Miley Cyrus has made no secret of her obsession with the Flaming Lips: She’s invited the band onstage several times, recorded with them and even made a playlist of her favorite Lips tracks for Rolling Stone. “Once you listen to the them, it’s hard to listen to anything else,” she told us.
She’s such a big fan, in fact, that Cyrus recently filmed a video on her sick bed with them (she was hospitalized earlier this year for an allergic reaction to an antibiotic) for a trippy clip that frontman Wayne Coyne is calling “Blonde SuperFreak Steals the Magic Brain.” “This is the video we originally intended to be for a song that has a reference to the drug LSD,” says Coyne. “We were lucky enough to get a couple of hours with a bedridden Miley Cyrus. And even though she was still quite ill, she was full of laughs and great absurd suggestions.” The band also recruited Moby, who Coyne says “created an enduring, freaky character” at the musician’s Hollywood home.
Coyne explains the concept of the video:
“The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world’s most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession… John F. Kennedy’s brain….the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!
Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.
She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…”
Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens.”
An unreleased song by Miley Cyrus unexpectedly hit the web in full on Friday, June 6. Titled “Last Goodbye”, it is an emotional ballad that failed to make the cut to the former Disney star’s latest album “Bangerz”.
In the break-up anthem, Cyrus talks about a dying relationship. “We never said that we would be perfect/ We only said that we tried/ And when you said that we were forever/ I guess that’s just another lie,” she sings.
A snippet for “Last Goodbye” leaked last year. Fans then speculated that the song was about the 21-year-old entertainer’s then-fiance, Liam Hemsworth. However, a source close to Cyrus told HollywoodLife that it’s actually about the singer’s late dog. “It isn’t about Liam, it’s actually something that came to her after her dog died and formed into this song,” explained the source.
“Last Goodbye” is the second Cyrus song that leaked in the past few days. Previously, the demo version of a party jam called “Pretty Girls (Fun)” landed online. The song, which is also a “Bangerz” leftover, was produced by Mike WiLL Made It.

On Friday Night Jackson Browne played to a modest crowd at
the K-Rock Centre.
Jackson Browne had the largest arrangement of acoustic guitars
which I have ever saw before on stage with him. What surprised me even further
was the fact that none of the guitars were going to be plugged in all night, there
was a small microphone set up on stage to catch all of the acoustics. This in
turn brought all the more realization to Jackson Browne’s sound and deliverance
of his songs.
Before he started to play he asked the photographers to the
left of the stage to not get in the way of any of the audience members and that
there was a spot to the side of the stage left open to take pictures. Luckily I
was to the right of the stage and didn’t have to take in all of the eyes from
the audience as he made this announcement.
When Jackson Browne led into his first song it was only
after he started to sing the second verse that he announced that he was singing
the last verse of the song already. The joke created a moderate laughter and
applause from the audience who was still filtering into their seats. He made a
quick joke about how the night may turn out already and quickly made the necessary
changes to continue on with his song. After the first song he started to talk
about how be just bought a new guitar in Kingston and made a quick accordion joke
which received a slightly louder laughter and applause then his early joke.
I really enjoyed his interaction with the audience
throughout the night. He did ask people to repeat what they said a couple of
times before he would answer their questions. The night really turned out to be
a hit for his fans which have followed him through his extensive career.
Jackson did make a couple of comments about how he was getting a little annoyed
with people constantly yelling out song titles especially while he was still
fading out to the song which he was currently playing. My favourite quote came
when he said “I Know Free Bird” which got a loud cheer from the audience but which
also led to people constantly yelling it out the rest of the night. He also
went into saying that he doesn’t hear the song being yelled out but he hears
directions in which to go and he doesn’t take directions. Some people
understood what he was saying but most did not and still continued on with
yelling out song titles.
When the third song finished Jackson moved on to his
keyboard and explained the story behind his song “The Birds Of St. Marks” which
was quite interesting to listen to. The song was really meant for a guitar but
as he was running around the house looking for a guitar to match with the
lyrics which he just thought of all there was in the room was a piano.My favourite song of the night was the song which he
co-wrote with Glen Fry of the Eagles “Take It Easy”. He took a different turn
going into a couple key points in the song and changed the tempo a little bit
and slowed it down. When the song first started most of the audience was
singing along with him, then when it came time for the “ooooh” section of the
song he motioned for the audience to keep it going. As the song came to a
finish he received the loudest applause so far.The loudest applause came when Jackson started to play “Rosie”,
I don’t know if he had planned on playing the song at all but this was the one
song in particular which was getting yelled out the most. But he waited until the
second set before he played the song. When people recognized the song which was
right after the second note the song received a louder applause then “Take It
Easy” did. Just as “Take It Easy” the audience clung onto every word in the song.
Before the song began a little bit about the history of the song was revealed
which was a little interesting. He also said this was probably only one of a
couple of songs which was not about himself. By the end of the night the Jackson Browne played songs
which spanned his entire career in a intimate and interactive concert and one
of the best acoustic sound concerts which I have ever heard in Kingston.


Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Divorce: It can be challenging (and not a little depressing) to follow recent events in Kanye West’s life. The most recent development, however, is comparatively unimportant in terms of West headlines: Ye’s divorce from his ex-wife Kim Kardashian has been formally finalized. The primary headline-grabbing information is that Kanye will give Kim $200,000 per month in child support.
Although the divorce settlement terms call for both Kardashian and West to have “equal access” to their four children, sources close to the couple claim that Kardashian will spend most of their time with the children, a fact that West has acknowledged. He mentioned his relationship with the mother of his children in a podcast interview from back in September, estimating that she would have the children for about “80% of the time”:

- Tom Watson Divorce: Why Did He Get Divorce?
“Even to this day, I’ll still give Kim advice on things that can help because that will go to the kids. She’s still got [them] 80% of the time — raise those children.”
West’s $200,000 in child support does not cover his obligation to pay for half of the children’s educational costs or half of their personal security. The agreement also includes a provision for resolving any potential parenting conflicts: in such cases, West and Kardashian both agree to attend a mediation session, and if one doesn’t, the other gets to make the decision.
The settlement reportedly complies with West and Kardashian’s prenuptial agreement and addresses how their property will be divided. Additionally, neither party may provide spousal support under the terms of their prenuptial agreement. Across the street from the estate they formerly shared, Kanye has agreed to give Kim a house that he infamously bought for $4.5 million after their divorce. A move that some deemed stalker-like or disturbing.
After more than a year of conflict between the former couple, during which West refused to cooperate with the divorce process, a settlement was reached. Kim’s patience was tested, but she handled the situation calmly, and, in the end, Kanye changed his mind, a source told TMZ.
The West-Kardashian marriage is now formally over, and their divorce has been resolved.

Wiliam Caesar Warfield
William Caesar Warfield was a well known bass-baritone concert artist, who had a long career that included stage, song and film. William was born January 22, 1920 to Robert Warfield and Bertha McCamery in West Helena, Arkansas. He only spent a few short years in Arkansas though. His family moved first to St. Joseph, Missouri and then to Rochester, New York. It was there that Robert Warfield became a Baptist minister.
After winning the National Music Educators League’s singing competition in 1938, William entered the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. However World War II would interfere with his studies. He was drafted into the army in 1942, but still was able to earn his degree from Eastman. Because of his college education, William was transferred to military intelligence and avoided combat.
In 1946, William Warfield was hired as the lead in a touring company performing Harold Rome’s musical “Call Me Mister.” After the show’s run, he found work singing and playing piano in clubs. This gave him his next break to stardom. After seeing William perform in Toronto, Walter Carr decided to finance Warfield’s Town Hall debut in New York City on March 19, 1950. Warfield impressed critics so much that the tour was extended to Australia. This was followed by his film debut in a remake of “Showboat” in which he sang “Ol’ Man River” for the first time commercially. Paul Robeson had sang that song in the 1930s version of “Showboat.”
“Porgy and Bess” was his next theatrical endeavor. It was in that play where he met Leontyne Price who he married in 1952. She was from Laurel, Mississippi and a well known opera singer.
Their marriage unfortunately didn’t last and they divorced in 1972. The couple had actually been separated since 1958 though. William continued performing for a number of years after his divorce. He also completed several tours throughout Europe and America.
William C. Warfield
Television beckoned Wiliam Warfield next. He played “De Lawd” in Marc Connelly’s “Green Pastures.” Then in 1984, he narrated Aaron Copland’s “A Lincoln Protrait” for which he won a grammy. In addition to acting, Warfield started teaching in 1975 at the University of Illinois. Later he taught at Northwestern University in Chicago. While doing these jobs, William remained active in concerts and drama readings. Fellow Arkansan Robert McFerrin would occasionally share the stage with him. Warfield received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Arkansas in 1972. He performed in Helena on October 23, 1987 in the Warfield Concerts, a community concert series. Warfield remained an active performer until his death on August 25, 2002.
William Caesar Warfield always described himself as “an Arkansas boy from tip to toe.”
I remember watching William Warfield when I was a kid, but I didn’t realize he was from West Helena until a few days ago. While at work, I met someone who was in town for a class reunion and he asked me about Warfield. Feeling embarrassed, I admitted I didn’t know much about him or that there was a link to the delta. He was one of the great American singers and his version of “Ol’ Man River” is one of the all time best. I’m sorry William Warfield. With the emphasis on blues, country and all the other types of music, I overlooked you. Your talent should never be overlooked. Thank you for being part of My Delta.

According to Amanda Palmer, the privilege of playing on her Theater Is Evil tour is compensation enough for “professional-ish” horn and string players to join her onstage. The cabaret-punk superstar, who recently broke the high score on Kickstarter, put out a notice on her blog a few weeks ago asking her musically talented fans to volunteer to play dates on her worldwide tour. When it came to payment, she could only promise beer, high-fives, and good times.
When interviewed about the unorthodox move, Palmer replied that paying the musicians she needed (a string quartet and three to four brass and sax players) would cost about $35,000 all told—a fee she simply “couldn’t afford.” With a $1.2 million Kickstarter campaign recently under her belt, we wonder how exactly musician fees were written out of the budget. But hey—Amanda says the fans that have volunteered so far seem happy to be on board, so it’s all good, right?

Jurassic World Twitter blowup with Whedon
At the “Avengers: Age of Ultron” premiere, Joss Whedon responded to the attention he got from a tweet on Friday that called a recent “Jurassic World” clip “70’s era sexist.”
“I shouldn’t have tweeted it,” he told Variety. “I don’t ever say things about other people’s work that are negative. That’s bad form. It’s not what a gentleman would do.”
The “Avengers” director was referring to a tweet from entertainment geek culture site the Mary Sue that said, “We’re too busy fanning ourselves to talk more about Chris Pratt in this #JurassicWorld clip.” Whedon commented tersely “…and I’m too busy wishing this clip wasn’t 70’s era sexist. She’s a stiff, he’s a life-force – really? Still?”
Whedon’s tweet was in response to an interaction in the footage between Pratt’s character and Bryce Dallas Howard’s in which he teases her over their bad first date, for which she printed out an itinerary. She then retorts that he shouldn’t have worn board shorts. Whedon’s projects have been recognized for featuring powerful female leads and feminist themes, such as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse.”
Although he regrets sending the tweet, Whedon hasn’t deleted it and stands by his judgement. “I forgot that I don’t do that because I was frustrated. I felt like I was seeing something that was problematic. What I said is pretty clear, but I think it was the wrong venue for me to be saying that. That’s dinner party conversation.”
Watch the “Jurassic World” clip below:
Here’s the clip, so you can watch it and imagine what you would say about it at Joss Whedon’s dinner party. Also, what do you think he serves at one his dinner parties? Some kind of critically acclaimed Joss Whedon pasta that ends too soon?

Jul 22, 2017 @ 07:42 AM By
Lately, there has been a lot of scuttlebutt about Tyga and Kylie Jenner relationship hitting a rough patch.

1) The duo was nearly always together during their relationship, called it quits months ago, he further told in the interview.
“That is the honeymoon phase, you get with anyone, like, for the initial year, you feel like it is a magic,” Tyga explicated of their earlier fascination with each other. “And after that, you get to understand the passage of time that is just nothing but a bunch of s--t.”
2) As per Tyga, Jenner is pretty young and not mature enough which had been the prime factor behind their split.
“I think the main thing was loads of folks — a lot of outside impacts — and … she is quite younger than me and she is coping with discernment. I'm older so I can sort out perception,” Tyga explained. “But for her, growing up how she grew up, image and discernment were everything."

"It's not for me, bro," he clearly admitted. "I mean, when it was good, it was good. When it was bad, it was really bad." (sic)

"I don't feel any type of way," he disclosed. "I and Jenner had been not in a relationship with each other for like seven months. He thinks he is not on the wrong side. I don't have hard feelings for her."


Country music saw numerous great artists come through in the 1970's. John Denver and Charlie Rich were dominant in the early 70's with songs including "The Most Beautiful Girl" and "Annie's Song." Glen Campbell was a household name to fans with hits like "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Southern Nights." Ray Stevens was tickling everyone's funny bone with "The Streak" and being serious with the hit "Everything is Beautiful."
The mid- to late 70's were conquered by Kenny Rogers, Olivia Newton-John, Crystal Gayle, and the Bellamy Brothers. Some of the biggest songs of the era included " Coward of the County" and "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers. John Denver continued to crank out popular tunes with "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

I guess the NFL, Pepsi and CBS were paying attention.
Following a less than enthusiastic response to their announcement that Coldplay would be headlining the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, they decided to bring in a real crowd-pleaser. (You heard it here first…) Yesterday, the global super star confirmed that she would indeed be showing up on stage in San Francisco on February 7th.

What can we expect from Beyonce’s Super Bowl Performance?
The last time Beyonce performed in the Super Bowl was in 2013, but that year, she was the headliner. This year, she’ll be a bit more in the limelight (is that possible?) as she shares the stage with Chris Martin and crew. We’re pretty much guaranteed that she’ll join Coldplay for a hyped-up version of their collaboration, “Hymn for the Weekend.”
Who else will be on stage?
Bruno Mars has confirmed that he, too, will be playing in his second Super Bowl halftime show. Meanwhile, we’re watching our Twitter feed with bated breath as we wait to find out who the next surprise guest will be!

From Music-China Wiki
He Yong (born in Beijing, 1969) is a Chinese rock musician who has been active since the late 1980s. A self-styled punk, He Yong's lyrics and outspoken nature have made him controversial in mainland China and Hong Kong. His first and only album Garbage Dump exemplified his negative, though often nostalgic perspective toward life. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of Chinese rock.
From the age of six He Yong began learning music from his father He Yusheng (何玉声), a professional sanxian (three-string lute) player. In 1980, he appeared in the children's movie Four Little Friends (四个小伙伴). He Yong began playing the guitar when he was fifteen and joined the band Mayday (五月天) in 1987. The group gave a much publicized performance for the students of the Tiananmen protests in 1989. Around this time He Yong was active in the underground rock movement and met a number of other musicians including Cui Jian, Dou Wei amongst others.
In the beginning of 1990 he formed the band Newspaper Boy (报童) together with Luo Yan and Wang Li Dong, though the band broke up after 6 months only.
He reached the height of his fame in May 1994, when he released Garbage Dump. The fatalistic "Garbage Dump", written at the height of the Tiananmen protests, is the most well-known song of the album. It features repeated guitar riffs, explosive pounding of drums, culminating in the repeated primal screams of the phrase "Is there any hope?" (有没有希望?) Other songs, however, such as "Pretty Girl" and "Drum and Bell Tower", explore issues including materialism, environmentalism, gender issues and heritage conservation. Around this time He Yong became known as one of the "Three prominents of Moyan" (魔岩三杰) along with Dou Wei and Zhang Chu, after their record company Moyan Culture (魔岩文化). His "Bell and Drum Towers", a nostalgic remembrance of life in the old quarter of Beijing, appeared in the soundtrack of the movie Beijing Bastards.
On 17 December 1994, He Yong performed at a groundbreaking concert in Hong Kong with Chinese metal-prog rock harbingers Tang Dynasty and others. Interviewed before the concert, he was antagonistically critical of Cantopop music, saying: "Hong Kong only has entertainment, it has no music. Out of the 'Four Great Heavenly Kings' only Zhang Xueyou (Jacky Cheung) can be considered a singer, the rest are all clowns". In response Jacky Cheung is said to have retorted: "Mainland musicians all live in caves."
The death of Tang Dynasty bass guitarist Zhang Ju (张炬), one of He Yong's best friends, on 11 May 1995 affected him in a terrible way. He Yong fell out over a record deal and sunk into depression and alcoholism. In 1999, He Yong spent three months in France and the Netherlands, playing and recording music. Since his first album, He Yong has not produced any new material which prompted one Chinese newspaper to question: "He Yong, do you still have energy to rock?".
He Yong has made isolated performances in Beijing clubs since the 1994 Hong Kong concert but has performed few large concerts. In 2002, he attempted to set himself alight in his Beijing apartment and was subsequently incarcerated and has been receiving medical treatment. Between 6-8 August 2004, he attended a concert entitled the "Glorious Road of Chinese Rock" (中国摇滚的光辉道路) held near the Helan Mountains (贺兰山) in Ningxia. Accompanied by his father and band, He Yong again performed beside the veterans of Chinese rock. He has hinted that the concert will signal his re-emergence into the Chinese music scene.

I'm off to see my gastroenterologist now to get his blessing to have the bariatric surgery in August.
If he gives me any crap about it I swear I'll rip his friggin' head off and poop in the hole.

It’s official, Sony has announced that they’ve signed Rooney Mara (who can be seen in the upcoming Facebook biopic, The Social Network) to play Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire & The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.
David Fincher, the director for the Hollywood versions, recently directed Mara in The Social Network. So while she’s a relative unknown to most of us, she isn’t completely foreign to him.
And speaking of foreign, rumor has it that Fincher wants all of the actors to speak with Swedish accents—which begs the questions once AGAIN, what is the point of doing a remake of our fabulous Swedish versions?
In other casting news, Robin Wright, has been cast as Erika Berger—which begs the other question, why would Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) stray from someone as beautiful and brilliant as Robin Wright?

Time and again, Aamir Khan has impressed fans all around the world with his preparation and transformation for any role he played. However, several eyebrows were raised when Aamir appeared after a massive weight gain for playing the role of 55-year-old wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat in his upcoming biopic, Dangal.
Gaining weight to look about 90 kg in such a short span was not an easy task. Aamir underwent workout and diet modifications to attain this mean feat. The workout sessions were strenuous as Aamir needed the strength of a wrestler. He did heavy leg workouts at the gym as his character demanded it. While he was shooting for the film in Ludhiana, Aamir ditched the gym and preferred to work out in the local akharas with the wrestlers.
As far as his diet for a massive weight gain was considered, Aamir was allowed to eat anything! So he ate in good quantity. But recently, the actor turned vegan. So he avoids non-veg food, milk, ghee, paneer, butter and other such products.

The first music review for 2009 will be an album from a Christian musician I have been a fan of since the middle 70’s. The musician known as Phil Keaggy is also noted as one of the best guitarists in the world. To know Phil Keaggy is to also know some of the many urban legends created about him. Several rumors have circulated about Phil Keaggy and whether or not he had been observed by the guitar god Jimi Hendrix. The rumor begins with an interview of Hendrix on Johnny Carson or Dick Cavett where he was asked what it’s like to be considered the greatest guitarist in the world. The rumored response from Hendrix was “I don’t know, you should go ask Phil Keaggy.” Keaggy has stated that even though he did record with his old band Glass Harp at Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios, it was well after Hendrix’s death in England. Another rumor that has circulated about Keaggy is the one about the middle finger on his left hand. If you’ve ever seen Keaggy perform you would notice that half of this middle finger is missing. The wildest rumor supposedly occured prior to his conversion to Christianity. The legend says that in a drunken stupor he wanted to prove he was the world’s best guitarist and cut the finger off himself. There are many variations as to just how he did this finger execution. Keaggy busted all those rumors many years ago. I found this video the other day where he describes what really happened to his middle finger.
Phillip Tyler Keaggy began playing guitar at age ten in his parents small farmhouse in Hubbard, Ohio on a Sears Silvertone guitar. He has frequently been listed as the top 3 “fingerstyle” as well as “fingerpicking” guitarist by Guitar Player Magazine. I received my first exposure to this masterful virtuoso guitarist while listening to a live recording of The Second Chapter of Acts, a contemporary Christian group that consisted of Matthew Ward and his sisters Ann and Nelly. Phil Keaggy has recorded, by Wikipedia count, 47 records spanning over 35 years. When I purchased his 1978 album “The Master and the Musician” I was totally hooked on Phil Keaggy. Since then I have collected only a small portion of his many recordings.

Wicked is one of the most popular musicals ever made and it has seen enormous success oversees on Broadway since its opening in 2003. Wicked continued its beloved legacy when it journeyed to the West End in London in 2006. We are going to reveal our favourite West End Witches from over the years.
Wicked: The Early Years.
Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. It flew onto the stage of the Gershwin Theatre on October 30th 2003 and just in time for Halloween. For 17 years Wicked has attracted fans from all over the globe to the wonderful world of Oz and the show has secured its spot as the second highest grossing production on the Great White Way.
Broadway legends Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth originated the roles of Elphaba and Glinda respectively. They sure set the bar high for those set to follow in their footsteps in the years to come; Menzel even went on to win the Tony Award for ‘Best Actress’ and originated the role of Elphaba on the West End in 2006. Following their careers in Wicked, both leading ladies have continued on in their successful careers in showbiz. Both ladies have landed Disney roles and guest starring in the musical comedy series, Glee!
We are going to have a look at some our favourite actresses to have played the West End Witches from Oz over the years.
The West End’s Queens of Green.
It takes a woman with talents of superhuman proportions to do justice to the role of the Wicked Witch. This role is arguably one of the most vocally challenging roles around. Laura Pick is the most recent actress to don the green paint and defy gravity in the much loved musical. She has followed some pretty breathtaking performances whilst delivering them herself 6 days a week at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.
Previously to Pick, Alice Fearn played the green witch for two years on the West End. This was after she was promoted to main cast after a year as the Elphaba standby. Fearn is famous amongst Wicked fans for her incredible riffs, unrivalled by no Elphaba I’ve seen before. Since leaving Wicked, Fearn has followed in fellow Wicked alum Rachel Tucker’s footsteps in joining the cast of Come from Away as Captain Beverly Bass.
Willemijn Verkaik is the only actress in Wicked history to have played the role in three different languages! Verkaik has belted out ‘Defying Gravity’ in English, German and Dutch having stormed the stage as the green witch over 2000 times. In addition she set a record by performing in four different countries with the show. She unfortunately had to cut her final run short due to injury.
Of course, we are going to mention the original Queen of Green, Idina Menzel. Having completed her Tony Award Winning two year run of the show in New York, Menzel came to the West End to introduce Wicked to us. She played Elphaba in London for three months. Menzel’s rendition of ‘Defying Gravity’ has been streamed over 46 million times on Spotify, which is no surprise because it’s so incredible. Menzel is undoubtedly a Broadway legend and I for sure cannot wait for her to return the stage.
The West End’s Bubble Girls.
I had the pleasure of seeing Sophie Evans as Glinda the Good back in November 2019, alongside Alice Fearn. She found theatre fame after placing as runner-up in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Over the Rainbow’ TV competition back in 2010. She proceeded to play Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Her run in the alternative story of our favourite Oz characters was utterly spellbinding and hysterically funny to boot.
Emily Tierney played Glinda in the first national tour of the show and previously played in the West End ensemble. She was the first Glinda I saw. I was astounded by Tierney’s vocal talent, and her hilarious portrayal of the blonde witch made me fall in love with Glinda and Wicked for the first time. Tierney was originally to be considered for Elphaba due to her being slightly taller than usual for the Good Witch. Despite this, after seeing her audition, producers made special adjustments and Tierney was cast- ‘Thank Goodness”!
Helen Woolf is the latest in a long line of ladies to climb into the bubble for the show. She has previously played in the UK and Ireland National tour, and was an understudy on the West End. Joe and I were due to see the show back in March and would have had the opportunity to see Woolf in action but unfortunately, due to COVID-19, this was cancelled. Having seen Woolf perform on TV in shows such as Blue Peter, I am very much looking forward to seeing her Glinda once the lights of the West End have finally been switched back on.
There’s a Special Mention to Include…
Louise Dearman is the only actress in the world to have played both leading roles for Wicked! Dearman began her Wicked career with a run playing Glinda for just under two years. She returned to the cast a year later to play the green witch, Elphaba. Most fans may pick a favourite of Dearman’s portrayals. I love them both equally, though. In my opinion, Dearman is one of the most impressive voices from the West End, so we will most definitely jump at the chance to see her in a show in the future.
Who are our favourite West End Witches of all time?
Over the years, there have been some incredible women to tell the ‘Untold Story of the Witches of Oz’. Each of them have brought something fresh, new and exciting to the show. With this is mind, it is extremely difficult to pick just two actresses as favourites yet there are two ladies that are stand out for Ad Infinitum as the best West End Witches to date.
Alice Fearn and Sophie Evans were the perfect duo in every way. The pair raised the roof back in November 2019 when I had the privilege to watch them perform together. Alice Fearn performed perhaps the most powerful ‘Defying Gravity’ I have ever seen and her riffs were out of this world. Sophie Evans was delightfully fantastic as Glinda with her crystal clear soprano and perfect comedic timing. The Welsh actress’ English accent was brilliantly over the top and only made Glinda quirkier and more fabulous.
