3/8/01:Ok, well in case it isn't very obvious to anybody, it's been a butt-long time since I've updated. And I apologize. School and life have attacked and I just don't have any time! So I'm stopping the updates of this site. I really hate to cause I have other things I'd love to share, but I don't have time to type it all up and upload. I can't imagine how the guy who did Pearl in the Shell was able to do it for so long, my hat is off to him!
If someone wants to take over webmaster duties then please e-mail me and I'd be more than happy to turn it over to you. If you were wanting to start a site, this would be good cause it already appears in a lot of the search engines and you would have free range to add/change/delete whatever you wanted.
Go see the message boards about some info on the Cosi soundtrack. Buh-Bye!
10/8/00:I got some info on Toni's next project Talk of the Town aka Queen Bess (I think they're playing around with names here). Here's the article I found over at Popcorn.
10/6/00:Hey there! Just wanted to let you guys know that there's only a week left send a birthday wish to Toni. I've only gotten like 4 responses, but I'm gonna go ahead and send them just not in a book, unless I get more.
Also, a while ago Paul e-mailed me and told me Toni had been nominated for the Friends of New York Theater Award for best actress in a musical for The Wild Party and that she won it! Let's all give a round of applause. =) Sorry I didn't put it up sooner, I don't know why I didn't. Brain freeze I guess.
I got more space! YAY! Finally. So I'm gonna add some stuff. If you guys have any ideas of what I could add or what you wanna see then let me know. E-mail me
9/21/00:Don't have much news for ya guys. I scanned some pics from InStyle magazine (go here). Don't forget to send messages for the birthday project! I'm stopping it on October 20. Send in some messages and let's show the love!
8/29/00:Here is the link for the birthday project. Let's all participate and make this a good thing! =)
Also, the winners are in for the month of August for TC:AGADQ website awards! You can find the winners at the bottom of this page!
8/21/00:Toni was in the Fashion Police section of US Weekly (the one with "Survivor" on the cover). The picture is from the Shaft premiere. I scanned it and it's here.
This is something just for fun that I was checking out. Turns out Toni is just 2 degrees away from Kevin Bacon. See.
8/12/00:Still not much news going on. Toni has not yet started work on her newest project Queen Bess with Glenn Close. The only thing so far is that she is set to be in it.
I'm working on idea for a birthday project. Nothing big, cause big costs money and none of that is here. =) But I'll let you all know what that is after the first of September. (Sorry, I have to move up to school and start school and my Sting concert is happening!) I'm working on the stuff for it now.
7/18/00:Ok well I finished the transcript from when Toni was on Rosie on 7/7. But I can't put it up here until I get more space from Angelfire. I put the request in about 2 weeks ago, so who knows how long I'll have to wait. I also got some pics from Karen who has had the pleasure of meeting Toni and I was gonna put that page up, but I have to wait for Angelfire. BLAH! Ok I'm done with my whining for today! =)
7/10/00:SECOND UPDATE: Thanks to John Early, here is the Premiere article from their website. Good searching John!
Ok so I lied about the transcript being up right away. It was my dad's birthday so... Anywho, I will work on that to get it up. Also I went to go buy the Premiere magazine and they already put out the August issue! What the crap! It's still July people! So if anyone got it or can get it in their area, if you wanna scan or type it up, I'll give full credit to you. I myself would do it, but there are no more issues out when I actually have the money to buy it! BBBAAAHHH!!!
7/6/00:I have finised the transcript of Toni's appearance in March on the Rosie O'Donnell show. It is here. I will work on the June transcript later today. It will be up by tomorrow!
7/5/00:Toni is in the July issue of Premiere magazine. It's a two-page deal. The X-Men are on the cover (there are three different covers for this month's edition, but the content is all the same, so take your pick!)
6/30/00:Today I am working on the pics page and I scanned the pic from Entertainment Weekly (which you can see here), so by tonight it will all be done! Yay!
When you're celebrating the 4th of July tune in to Rosie O'Donnell and watch Toni Collette! It's a rerun from when she was on with Barbara Walters and Leelee Sobeski (sp?). Plan to spend the 4th of July with Toni and your family! I'll be sure to type up that and the interview from when she was on earlier this month!
6/26/00:MAGAZINE ALERT! Toni is part of Entertainment Weekly's It List. The magazine is already out on newsstands and it'll be there 'til July 7th (it's got Star Wars boy Hayden Christensen on the cover). She's on page 39. It's a pic I haven't seen and it will be scanned ASAP.
6/19/00:Bah! I've been bad about not updating. I don't think I've ever gone this long without at least working on the page. But I promise to get better. I've been working a lot for Sting tickets when he comes to Nashville and I totally got them this weekend! I am 4th row!! 4th row!! I am so hyped! But all that is done til the concert so I will work on the page!
Don't forget to watch the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards tomorrow on Fox at 8:00 PM ET. I am not sure if she was there to accept the award, but I guess we'll find out tomorrow!
Also don't forget to go see Shaft! I haven't been able to see it yet, (but apparently a LOT of people have as it is number 1 at the box office!) but I have heard good things about it!
6/9/00:Site News: Ok I'm gonna change the pics page so if you look at that and it's not there, I promise by the next day it will be back up. I'm gonna work on that this weekend, cause my whole weekend is free!
Also if you watch the MTV Movies Awards Haley Joel Osment won for Breakthrough Performance, Male. He thanked Toni for bringing her strength and wisdom (?) to the set. They'll be showing the awards ALL weekend long so just turn to MTV and you'll catch it.
6/7/00:Ok I copied the Rosie O'Donnell Show so I will soon put up a transcript from the interview when I get the free time. I'll post it here when it's up!
6/6/00:Toni is going to be on The Rosie O'Donnell Show tomorrow, along with Sarah Jessica Parker and Cheri Oteri (The Spartan Cheerleader!).
6/5/00:Well Toni didn't get the Tony. But her performance with the rest of the cast of The Wild Party went really well! If you wanna see the winners check out the Tonys site at Tonys.org. I'll be on the lookout for some pics of her at the ceremony and afterward.
Just in case you haven't been watching TV lately, they are showing the commercial trailers for Shaft, which shows quite a lot of her. And It shows Busta Rhymes, which is cool cause he's my cousin (not really!), but he'd be a cool cousin! =)
5/27/00: Blah! Toni didn't recieve the Drama Desk award. =( That went to Heather Headley (Aida). Check out all the winners here. But there's still the Tonys.
Also here's a link sent in by Maria. It's got some video of Toni dancing and a little interview. It's cool, so check it out.
5/26/00: Ok got a lot of news for you folks out there, (well, a lot for Toni) so here we go!
Toni, Mandy Patinkin, and Eartha Kitt will headline a selection of songs from their show for the Tony awards (on June 4). Definately gotta see that. And if you caught The Rosie O'Donnell Show yesterday (5/25) then you saw that Eartha Kitt performed a song on the show. (for a chick from Nashville that's pretty cool to get to see a part of the show!)
Check out PBS from 8:00-9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) for behind-the-scenes footage from Broadway productions (who knows, they might show some Wild Party footage!) Also if you do tune in to PBS, the first ten awards will be presented there along with the rest of the show that you can also catch on CBS starting @ 9-11 PM (ET/PT).
Yeah, that wasn't confusing at all.
I added some pics to the Pictures page so go sniff around over there (WARNING: The page will probably take a while to load up!!!)
5/13/00: The Wild Party soundtrack is due out on May 23rd. Look for it!
5/11/00: Toni won at the Blockbuster awards yesterday! She got Favorite Supporting Actress, Suspense (for The Sixth Sense in case you couldn't figure it out). If you wanna catch the show then tune in to Fox on June 20th at 8:00 PM ET. Check out the other winners here.
The Tony Awards will be broadcast live on June 4, 2000 on CBS at 9-11 PM (ET/PT). If you wanna catch some backstage action check out the Official Website of the 54th Annual Tony Awards Tonys.org. The night of the ceremony this website will provide live backstage coverage of the awards.
5/10/00: WOO!! Toni was nominated for a Tony award, which will be presented on June 4th. Definately gonna have to watch out for that. For a complete list of the nominees click here.
Unfortunately Toni didn't get the Outer Critics Circle Award for Actress in a Musical. That went to Marin Mazzie (Kiss Me Kate). But the Drama Desk awards will be presented on May 14th, so keep your fingers crossed for that!
4/27/00: Another yay goes out for Toni. She was nominated for Best Actress (Musical) for her role in The Wild Party by Drama Desk Awards. If you want to see the other nominees check it out here!
I added more pictures thanks to the help of Maria! So go check them out and see what's up over there.
4/24/00: Yay for Toni! She was nominated for Actress in a Musical by the Outer Critics Circle awards for The Wild Party. She was the only one nominated for the her version (the broadway version) of the play!
Shaft is coming out soon (June 16th to be exact). I am guessing that she will be popping up more when it gets closer to time.
This past weekend I got a photo workshop for my computer. So I will make the photos look better on this site and make them more organized than they are now! Yay! Check back to see that.
4/21/00: The Wild Party is Toni's new musical/play. Check out the site at The Wild Party. She played the role of Queenie, who throws an all night party with her friend Burrs, and they discover (in this one night) that their lives are about to change forever.
The cast of The Wild Party made a cast recording of the play. It should be out soon, so we get to hear Toni's cool singing voice!
PBS: Starting at 8 (ET/PT time) the awards show and some extra footage will start.
CBS: Starting at 9 (ET/PT time) the awards show will start.
