Julia Roberts gets a bashing on Broadway (Go To Top)

       Washington: She may have gotten great reviews, and an Oscar for her role in the movie 'Erin Brokovich', but Julia Roberts' stage career is not getting the same applause, and is in fact being panned by critics. Julia Roberts' stage debut with 'Three Days of Rain' was highly anticipated, but critic Howard Kissel said that with her 'little stage presence', she failed to create magic on-stage. "As mesmerizing as she is onscreen, she has surprisingly little stage presence," E!Online quoted him, as saying. Clive Barnes, the New York Post's critic, didn't believe in being diplomatic, and bluntly stated that he not only 'hated' the play, but also found Julia's performance equally lacking. "Hated the play. To be sadly honest, even hated her," he said. However, producers of the play aren't a worried lot, for Roberts' star status has meant that the scheduled 12-week run of the play is already all but sold out. 'Three Days of Rain' is scheduled to close June 18.

Cherie's hairdos leave Labour broke (Go To Top)

      London: Even while the already cash-strapped Labour party had to resort to borrowing funds to avoid a pre-election crisis, Cherie Blair didn't cut down on her hairdo bills, that cost the party a whopping 275 pounds a day. Cherie apparently shocked party activists by presenting them with a 7,700 pounds bill for the services of her personal hair stylist during last year's general election campaign (06Apr05-06May05). The Party has, however, defended footing the bill. "So what? Mrs Blair worked fantastically hard during the election and visited more than 50 constituencies during the campaign. She is enormously popular with the party and, don't forget, we won the election," The Independant quoted a party's spokesman, as saying. Invoices from the Mayfair stylist Andre Suard - headed "hair styling for Cherie Blair" - are declared as an electoral expense in Labour's accounts for 2005 submitted to the Electoral Commission watchdog.
