Bridget Jones: The Musical

Now this really is something I would just love to see !!! I am such a fan of the books and the movies ❤ I think it would be a massive hit as well.

Hit movie Bridget Jones’s Diary is to be made into a musical.

The 2001 film, starring Renee Zellweger, grossed $282 million (£188 million) worldwide, while the 2004 sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, raked in $262 million (£175 million).

And the writer of the original novels, Helen Fielding, is hoping to cash in further on the franchise with an all-singing all-dancing stage production.

She tells U.K. newspaper The Times, “I’ve been doing it (writing) for two years, and writing the songs.”

 

Rourke’s New Feathered Friend

OMG Mickey is just so adorable and crazy love him !!!

Mickey Rourke has found a new animal companion after the death of his beloved dog Loki – he’s now stepping out with a cockatoo on his shoulder.

The actor was heartbroken when chihuahua Loki died in February, just days after he thanked the pooch in his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Golden Globe awards.

Three months on, the creature-lover has moved on and showed off his new pal Sunny during a dinner date in California last month.

A fellow diner at Beverly Hills eaterie Cristoni Pizza tells Star magazine, “Mickey looked very comfortable with the pet. It sat on his shoulder the whole time.”
