28th Annual Razzies News and Clips

The 28th Annual Razzie Awards took place on February 23rd and were a big hit. The LA Times even reviewed us and said of the opening number (which featured Paula Einstein and myself) "the campy stage act that opens the show would make Charles Busch and Joan Crawford proud. Today, a gal and drag guy did Britney Spears one better (or at least one color better) by donning pink and black wigs, mucho makeup and too-tight suburban frocks to croon a parody of "Good Morning, Baltimore" from "Hairspray." The performance of "Good Morning, Razzie Day" was truly winning and the lyrics clever, promising a celebration of the "worst of last year" that will leave Hollywood "trembling with fear."
