The Bed List/The Dinner List

DH and I have tickets to the the-ah-tah this evening (actually, to the improv--Dad trods the boards, of a sort, now that he's retired from boring stuff like computer science), so today's picks are well-known denizens of the Great White Way.

BED LIST: TAYE DIGGS



Whoof. Taye Diggs is gorgeous. Great smile, bod that looks carved out of something permanent, like rock, but delicious, like Godiva dark chocolate. This is the man Angela Bassett flips for in How Stella Got Her Groove Back, and no wonder. He makes an appearance now and then as the MC in the film version of Chicago, but you'll really be able to catch his talents in the film version of Rent, which will be released in November. Too bad he's married--to the Tony-award winning star of Wicked, Idina Menzel--but rowrrrr just the same.

DINNER LIST: NATHAN LANE



This man could read the phone book and make me laugh. Incredibly talented, funny, smart, Nathan Lane is the total package. One of the few men on the planet who can upstage Robin Williams. Got kids? You know him as the voice of Timon ("What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?") in The Lion King. He's currently filming The Producers: The Movie Musical after a faboo stage run with Matthew Broderick, and he and Matthew Broderick will star in a revival of The Odd Couple, with Nathan as Oscar and Matthew as Felix (if you can imagine Ferris Bueller as the fussy one!).
