DISNEY's 1st AFRICAN AMERICAN PRINCESS:TIANA

That's right folks! Joining Snow White, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella, Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Belle (Beauty & the Beast) and even Jasmine (Aladdin) and Mulan in the team of Disney Princesses will be Tiana from "The Princess & the Frog" set to premiere in November 2009. She will be Disney's very first African American Princess. I am extremely excited about this.
There is already 'talk" of it turning into a Broadway Musical! (What won't Disney put on Broadway? "101 Dalmations: The Musical" is already casting!)

I wonder if I could be one of the puppies?

Jim...We had to postpone "The Jim Lawson Story" until 2015. Our big producer, Disney Productions are working out the budget for the long list of special effects required for segment of the first "Christmas Revue" at the Birchmere and then to the West End Dinner Theatre. The script requires a ninja stunt team and gallons of stage blood when the patron comes into our dressing room complaining about the wait service at the Birchmere and tells us, "You ruined my Christmas" and you return, "Mame, Mame...We are just actors." At that moment, we are all suppose to take off our "Dickens Costumes" and appear as Ninjas and then the "Kill Bill" moment happens"? Then when we take it to the WEDT, the White Christmas Finale requires a full fledged snowstorm that and then the WEDT turns upside down?
