My girlfriends call me this, but what they don’ t know is that it’s not true! I only clean when it’s necessary, I don’t plan ahead to make meals, and I don’t put the clothes away after I wash them. In fact, most of the time they just sit in piles and we choose what to wear from those piles. If they were to come to my house unexpected, they’d see a bunch of stuff out of place. I’m far from being a Domestic Diva!

I spent a good chunk of my day mopping the floors and dusting. I'm determined to keep all of the cat hair cleaned up now that Henry is crawling around. It's a losing battle! If anyone would like a couple of loving and hairy cats for your home, please let me know! I'll even throw in a free bag of litter! ;)

For TRP: Awesome Alliteration

There is a Saying in Country Music that the Devil Has the Best Tunes. In the Musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber, It's the Diva. Occasionally a Male Character Or Chorus Has a Hit Song, but There is Something About the Lloyd Webber Compositional Style that Makes the Female Voice, Particularly the Soprano, the Natural Outlet for his Soaring Tunes. This Collection Provides 16 Excellent Examples of this Thesis. The Popular Favourite Songs and Performers Are all Included, Many Singing Different Songs Than Those for which They Are Famous, Bringing a Different Angle to this Compilation and Introducing People to Songs Or Singers that They May Not have Heard Before. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber was Involved in the Repertoire Choices and the Performers to Sing Them.

This compilation of previously released material gathers the best-known tunes sung by women in Andrew Lloyd Webber's repertoire. Do all the singers here count as divas? A surprisingly high number certainly does. A few offer both outsize personality and outsize pipes: Betty Buckley ("Memory"), Patti LuPone ("Buenos Aires"), Barbra Streisand ("As If We Never Said Goodbye"). Some don't have as much name recognition but still offer blistering readings of famous songs (Yvonne Elliman's vintage version of "I Don't Know How to Love Him," from Jesus Christ Superstar). Others go for nuance, like Marti Webb and her lovely "Tell Me on a Sunday" or Barbara Dickson's "Another Suitcase in Another Hall." And then there are the ones who pull through on sheer bravado: Madonna and her vibrato-laden "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," Glenn Close's harsh "With One Look"--both of them making you long for La LuPone. (In which universe Minnie Driver counts as a diva is anybody's guess.) The overall track selection offers a fairly standard overview of Sir Andrew’s career, though it does include Kiri Te Kanawa's "The Heart Is Slow to Learn," from the aborted sequel to Phantom. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
