Most people who know me know that MISS ROSS is MY BOSS… and a week in which she received her LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT GRAMMY AWARD is among the BIGGEST WEEKS for a fan like me (and the many hundreds of thousands and thousands of fans with whom I have the honor to share in this excitement). This, after Miss Ross has been nominated 12 times (Sang/recorded 3 songs that are in the Grammy Hall of Fame), but had yet to win one. Picture this: It’s Saturday, February 11, 2011. A wonderful group of friends were invited to an intimate, pre-Fashion-Week gathering. Everyone agreed to join me in watching Miss Ross accept her Lifetime Achievement Grammy on the academy’s website (http://www.grammy.com/videos/diana-ross-accepting-lifetime-achivement-award-at-special-merit-awards) – a highlight in the day (and this fan’s life). Just moments before her segment was to take place, the first texts, tweets, and emails started to come in. I felt like Miss Ross in the rain at her Central Park Concert: “It took me a lifetime to get here. I’m not going anywhere!” And as each text, tweet, and email came in, I chalked it up as a hoax… and kept it to myself. But alas, the

PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: A Two-Show Day at Broadway's Machinal With Maria-Christina Oliveras
Oliveras was previously seen in Here Lies Love, the critically-acclaimed new musical by David Byrne and Fat Boy Slim, directed by Alex Timbers at the Public Theater, which she will be returning to when it re-opens at the end of March.

Golden Globe nominee Rebecca Hall portrays real-life murderer Ruth Snyder in Roundabout Theatre Company's new Broadway production of Sophie Treadwell's Machinal, opening Jan. 16 at the American Airlines Theatre.
Director Lyndsey Turner (Chimerica at Almeida; Philadelphia, Here I Come! at Donmar) also makes her Broadway debut. When Turner turned to Hall to play Machinal's leading lady, "I just instantly responded to her," Hall told Playbill magazine. "She hasn't directed me before, but I felt such an overwhelming trust in her presence that I knew I could probably do anything she asked me to do."
Of her character, Hall added, "In the play, she's described as a young woman who's like any woman. I think Treadwell is trying to say there is nothing particularly extraordinary about her. She's an Everywoman, and the story's about how an ordinary woman, in not extraordinary circumstances, is driven to murder. Nothing makes her mad or crazy. She's normal."

Tony Award nominees Suzanne Bertish (The Moliére Comedies) and Michael Cumpsty (The Winslow Boy, End of the Rainbow) play Mother and Husband, respectively, with Drama Desk nominee Morgan Spector (Russian Transport) as Lover.
Rounding out the cast are Damian Baldet (The Lion King), Ashley Bell ("The Last Exorcism"), Jeff Biehl (Of THE BAYTOWN SUN NEWS Pamela Smart comes into court at the Rockingham Superior Court House in Exeter, New Hampshire on Friday, March 22, 1991, where she was found guilty on all three charges related to her involvement in the murder of her husband Gregory Smart.
