I see that CNN.com now has a “Worst song” article. Gee, I wonder where they got the idea?

For my weekend post:
LOVE LETTERS by AR Gurney is an enormously successful play. Ingenious in its design, an actor and actress sit at tables or stand at podiums and just read love letters. So no blocking or rehearsal or memorization is ever really needed. Actors can easily rotate in and out of the piece and frequently do. This can result in prestigious A-level actor pairings but there have also been productions by Charlton and Lydia Heston and Shirley Jones & Marty Ingells. Since I couldn’t attend either of those I shall wait to see LOVE LETTERS until one of the following pairings is announced:
Ann Coulter & Al Franken
Woody Allen & Mia Farrow
24’s Chloe & Gore Vidal
Kellie Pickler & Bucky Covington
Michael Jackson & Elizabeth Taylor
Billy Bob Thornton & Angelina Jolie
Tom Cruise & Brooke Shields
Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown
Mary Tyler Moore & Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
Regis Philbin & Kelly Rippa
Dr. Laura & Dr. Phil
Liza Minelli & David Gest
Jack Klugman & Lauren Becall
Barry Bonds & his mistress Kimberly
Donnie & Marie
Bill Clinton & (the voice of) Monica Lewinsky
Paula Abdul & Simon Cowell
President Bush & a mannequin
Lou Ferrigno & Marlie Matlin
Andrew Dice Clay & Amy Grant
Bjork & Bob Dylan
Katie Couric & Walter Cronkite
Jennifer Aniston & Brad Pitt
Richard Hatch & Tonya Harding
The President of Iran & Rene Taylor
Bonnie Bernstein & Coach Roy Williams
And of course, Broadway’s latest stunt casting duo, whether they fit the roles or not….
Nathan Lane & Matthew Broderick

You are sick. But if you were going to do Lou Ferrigno & Marlie Matlin, you might as well have just gone all the way and done Marlie Matlin and Bob Dylan. She's deaf and we could probably understand her better.
