It only took me 28 years to catch up to seeing the now-cult favorite, #PracticalMagic. But I was more confused than wowed by it — cos it’s such a hodgepodge rom-com / horror / sci-fi flick … with a little eye-candy thrown in! 😝 Just hope the 2026 sequel is better!

Powerful words! ❤️🧡

While it wasn’t a great film, it wasn’t as bad as some have said. I think its greatest (heh) strength is its soundtrack — Pasek & Paul did a superb job and the “Reimagined” album takes it up a notch. I’m now eagerly awaiting the stage musical production! #TheGreatestShowman

The #SomeLikeItHot musical has launched a US Tour and it stops in DC next month. Really cool that it snagged 13 Tony noms (incl. for Book, Score, Lyrics, Choreography and Costumes) and won 4 of them! I missed its #Broadway run so this is my chance to make up for it. 😀 Yay or nay?

Oooh, what are the other 4 songs? ☺️

(For me, Cher is one of those artists that I’d have a terrible time ranking songs for because they have so many good ones)

That must have been a real fun road trip! It’s also 11 for me…that I’ve either lived in or visited (stayed for at least 1 night). And 15 if I count airport layovers 😂

I’m really diggin’ this dance track from Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This” S2 soundtrack. And I think it’s shifted my opinion of Selena Gomez as a singer. 😆 Granted, it’s got slick production from the guys who’ve worked with Lady Gaga, Charli XCX & The Weeknd.

omg 💀 I’ve always believed some things are best kept to oneself… this need to overshare online, even anonymously, is out of control. 😂

With the news that she’s retiring as a singer/performer, I dug into her music and rediscovered some real gems: Be OK, What I Wanted, Powerless, Turn Off The Light…a really solid discography! #NellyFurtado

Wait so “Dirty Dancing Weekend” is an actual thing? 😅 Here I thought you were just calling it that cos you were at the film location for a weekend getaway. How cool! 😃 (By the way, love your jacket!)

The buzz about #BlueMoon is mounting and it’s not hard to see why — a biographical film about a beloved lyricist with a star-filled/award-winning cast & director. A darling of the film festivals, it’s a movie set in the world of musical theater. 👍🏽😍

Megan Hilty is #Broadway royalty and phenomenal in her Tony-nominated role in #DeathBecomesHer. Glad I got to see her with Michelle Williams, Jenn Simard and Chris Sieber. I loved Betsy Wolfe in "& Juliet" so I know she'll shine as Megan's replacement.

Totally agree about retractable leashes and their dangers in all kinds of places ... especially along busy roads and around fast-closing elevator doors. Ooof.

As a mega fan of 80s/90s music, the sound of the new #CharliePuth single is right up my alley. Love the Phil Collins/Bruce Hornsby vibes & background choir. The MV has fun stop-motion animation + a cute pregnancy reveal ... his live Jimmy Fallon performance is 👍 > www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrf8...

It’s been years since I last saw a #DWTS episode, but I caught up with this week’s “Wicked Night” ep and was pleasantly surprised! The dances—and of course the music—were really good. (Still don’t get the *Stars” part though…) 😆

I’m happy that #ProjectRunway has been renewed … with Heidi, Law, Christian & Nina returning. But they better STOP IT with the cliffhanger episode endings. 😡

In the last few months, I tried to create 50-tracks-max playlists of Madonna’s and Mariah’s best tracks — and didn’t succeed. How does anyone?? 😅 But I love a challenge, so Kylie is next. This is gonna be fun… 🤗
