Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to some wonderfully funny people today.

Firstly the hysterical and lovely Betty White (86). Happy Birthday Betty!!! I hope Bea, Rue and Estelle come over for some cake and laughs. Her and Bea Arthur just make me pee my pants.

Did you know Betty was originally considered for the role of the sexpot, "Blanche," on "The Golden Girls". However, Betty had already been the aggressive "Sue Ann Nivens" on "Mary Tyler Moore" and Rue McClanahan had played the introverted "Vivian" on "Maude". It was thought best not to have these two actresses reprise similar characters. Therefore, Betty got the part of naive "Rose Nylund" and Rue played the oversexed "Blanche".

Hurrah!!

Secondly to the wonderful and sexy Eartha Kitt (81). Not only is she super charismatic, but she has impeccable timing and wit in all of her stage shows. A funny funny woman.

Did you know Kitt encountered a substantial professional setback after she made anti-war statements during a White House luncheon. It was falsely reported that she made First Lady Lady Bird Johnson cry uncontrollably. How delicious. If only it were true.
Still she tours and sings, and it a work of art. Here is hoping she has a wonderful and purrfect Birthday.

And who can forget funny man Jim Carrey turns 46 today.

The Oscar snubbee will have plenty more chances to prove his worth to the Academy. Did you know that Nicole Kidman calls him her best male friend? How strange? Also he was considered for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and the role of "Willy Wonka" in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Totally different movies they would have been eh? Like his comedic work, but find he is hitting his stride with more dramatic parts. "Eternal Sunshine" is the beacon of his career (IMHO)

Lastly, my dear personal friend Lee Lee Lollipops. Entertainer to tens of people across Dartford.

Lee Lee started his career at the tender age of 7 on stage. He was in the local panto as spunky orphan Molly in "Little Orphan Annie".
From there regional amateur theater and school plays made him the talk of the estate.
Borrowing his mums clothing and makeup and making wigs out of mops and tinsel, he would entertain the local kids with songs by Cilla Black and Shirley Bassey

After his great success as Madge in "Neighbours the Musical" Lee Lee felt the stage was too much to cope with and decided to retire early. He has now taken up the career as scanning technician at ASDA, but can still be heard singing "I, Who Have Nothing" during lunch breaks in the staff room.

Here is hoping you get your comeback darling!

Anyway Birthday people....keep the talent coming.
