August, In the Heights Named Top Shows at Tony Awards
Originally posted 06/15/2008 11:00PM
Broadway came out swinging Sunday night for the 62nd annual Tony Awards, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg.
August: Osage County was named best play and won five awards in all, while In the Heights was the recipient of four Tonys, including best musical.
Besides the top award, In the Heights, a celebration of Latin-community life in Upper Manhattan, was recognized for its orchestration, choreography and score, with its writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, stopping the show with his acceptance speech – delivered, in breathtaking fashion, as a rap song.

Whoopi Goldberg Sends Love to Patrick Swayze
Originally posted 03/06/2008 11:35AM
Whoopi Goldberg sent her special love to her Ghost costar Patrick Swayze on Thursday's The View.
Noting the serious news that broke Wednesday about the 55-year-old actor's having pancreatic cancer, Goldberg referred to Swayze as "a man I adore" and called him "my friend."
"I have not spoken to him," said Goldberg, who then read the statement from Swayze's physician, Dr. George Fisher, who said, in part, "All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."
