Bitch needs to come to New York.

[munkustrap178]

Oh please. She can't be held accountable for anything she says. She's nuts.

[philcrosby]

Besides, she was taken sort of out of context. And yes, she's nuts. But she's a legend and deserves to be.

[bobby_luvs_bway]

LMFAO...Yes, I guess that is abundantly clear from her last few interviews. I just hate it when celebs who rely on their gay following for years suddenly turn on us. That goes for Miss Gloria Gaynor as well.

Donna Summer did it famously in the 80s, but later recanted. It usually happens when they discover religion, unfortunately.

[bobby_luvs_bway]

Donna Summer was actually misquoted and had filed suit but was later settled out of court for a fairly large sum of money. Sorry, but I am a huge Donna Summer fan and was quite shocked when all that went down in the mid 80's. But when the dust settled everything came out and we all saw the error of our gossip minded sound bite addled ways.

What did carol channinf say?

[Radioactiveduck]

She did an interview where she was mis-quoted and had her words taken out of context and she sounded very discriminatory against homosexuals. Turns out that it was just a mistake.

I love Carol though, I saw her one woman show, and I couldn't believe how energetic and powerful she is at 80 some-odd years old.

[BroadwayBound062]

wow i didn't realize she was that old....

[Dollypop]

Carol Channing is my sole reason for living.

She will be 86 in January.

[NathanLaneStalker]

She needs to come to NYC Has anyone ever met her? What's she like?

[Dollypop]

I've met her many times.

Here's the link to an interview I did with her for BWW in 2004:

If Carol Channing is your sole reason for living, that makes you a very sad person and that's not a good thing.

[Mr Roxy]

I agree

I can see if Hasselhoff is your sole reason to live. What happens Dolly when Channing goes to the great Harmonia Gardens in the sky ?

[onlylisab]

I just met Carol a few weeks ago when she was performing in Ohio. She is FABULOUS! So kind and gracious. She and her hubby are just precious together. Truly one of my favorite memories.

[Al Dente]

Sad to think that if this thread were called "Calling all TINA MADDIGAN fans!" or "Calling all IDINA MENZEL fans!" it would have far more than a dozen responses to it.

[nealb1]

Like I said before, if Carol Channing is your sole reason for living, that makes you a very sad person. You can't look to someone or something else for your own happiness.

[NathanLaneStalker]

A friend who lives in Fresno taped it for me and sent it to me. It was fantastic! She flubbed a few lines during "We Need a Little Christmas" but that's just Carol! :) Also during the song when the line came up, "Carols at the spinit" she pointed to herself! haha.

[DannyBoy82]

I don't think dollypop is serious about that. It may just be an expression or exaggeration. Her voice is an aquired taste that I never really aquired.

[Patti LuPone FANatic]

I guess this is one of those bumps?
