Thursday's Pretty Person....

Jim Verraros!!

I know. Some of you are shocked he's the very first person to get written about. Some of you should know better. Look at that picture! He's SO CUTE!! I mean, that's not even one of his best ones (but I didn't want to steal off his MySpace, I'd rather steal from Broadwayworld.com....:P)

Interesting story about how he and I are going to be a Hollywood power couple. Except that he doesn't know about it, and neither does his boyfriend of, well, a while, who he is absolutely in love with.

I'm so kidding. But I do have a lot of admiration for him. He's gone from this nerdyish (but cute!!) looking guy who lost American Idol to this stellar performer, gay and out and with a strong and loyal following. And if you're creepy like me and read the comments he leaves his friends (I mean his real friends, not me :P) he's still got his head on his shoulders, his heart in the right place. Meanwhile, he's starring in raunchy and hysterical movies, and singing a wide variety of songs (raunchy like "Dirty Criminal", sweet like "Hold On", or ones for my man-hating playlist like "Outside"...any of the above!) He's got his dream in his hands, and you have to admire anyone who's accomplished that.
And did we mention that he's pretty? He is. SO PRETTY.

(Every time I write in this, Launchcast plays a song from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for me. I love it. "Dirty Rotten Number"...one of the best finale numbers ever.)
