The story of the site......... 2007-07-11 14:10:00 So many people have emailed me asking about the site & why it has been down. A few days ago I had problems uploading files and contacted the host for help. When I checked the site the next morning it was literally gone. 100% gone. I am having to rebuild the entire site. I have been working up to 9hrs straight doing this. I was going to keep the site offline until it was all the way back but I have received emails asking me to open it.I should be done rebuilding it by this weekend. I will open a section right after it is complete. Sorry for the loss of info - I lost a years worth of work.Jbray Subscribe in a readerSubscribe to Cyndi Lauper News by Email Read more:story

Film to focus on borough's diversity 2007-07-11 09:58:00 By RILEY YATESphillyBurbs.comIf you have a story about a late night at Odette's, the antics of Abbie Hoffman or the roots of Pennsylvania Impressionism, now's your time for the spotlight.A documentary is being produced about New Hope that will tout its roots of diversity and tolerance through interviews and a look at its history as an artist colony and a retreat for gays and lesbians.Tonight, the production team will be holding a reception to unveil its plan, while also getting residents on camera with their best stories about New Hope.The plan is to create a 44-minute, MTV-esque documentary that will be marketed on the independent film festival circuit, said Stephen Stahl, a director and filmmaker who has lived in the borough since 1986.“Embraceable You” will showcase New Hope's successes with an eye to encouraging success elsewhere, Stahl said. It is budgeted to cost between $225,000 and $250,000 to make.“It's going to drive home the fact that e

Cyndi may be in a documentary 2007-07-08 03:39:00 Monday, July 09, 2007BY JOYCE J. PERSICONEW HOPE, Pa. -- A local di rector and a retired teacher turned council member are turning a love affair with New Hope into a documentary reflecting the borough's tolerant nature.And they want locals familiar with the town to be the stars."I've lived in New Hope for 30 years and I know it as a town where you can be what you want to be and live up to your potential without people looking at you with prejudice because of your hair or your sexual orientation or your age," said Geri Delevich."My idea for a documentary on New Hope is like the old Coca-Cola theme song, 'I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.' It's so magical here. You feel safe. I want people to see how New Hope is."Three years ago, Delevich retired after 33 years from teaching grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 throughout the Central Bucks school system. Five years ago, she began thinking about making a movie on her adopted hometown Read more:Cyndi

George A. Paul, Staff WriterArticle Launched: 07/05/2007 10:32:13 AM PDT"We need to be empowered," urged Cyndi Lauper, on the closing night of the True Colors Tour, a multi-act jaunt she put together to show solidarity for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities.CONCERT REVIEW: True Colors TourWhen: June 30Where: Greek Theatre, Los AngelesThe diminutive singer arrived onstage barefoot, wearing a bright umbrella hat and long black wig (it was later ditched to reveal spiky purple hairdo). She led her exceptional band - including onetime Psych Furs guitarist Knox Chandler - through a tight, hour-long set including several forays into the audience.It kicked off with the spastic "Hole in My Heart." Lauper played fine electric guitar on Prince's sizzling "When You Were Mine," a slowed-down "She Bop" worked well and the hyperactive "Money Changes Everything" got the crow Read more:Cyndi

Greek active in the East Bay 2007-07-05 03:57:00 At each San Francisco stop last Friday night on the Berkeley-bound BART train, more "friends of Dorothy" poured on. We were riding in that famous last car of a nine-car train. Is it only an urban legend that hanky-panky breaks loose when the caboose penetrates the Transbay tunnel? But the excitement in the air wasn't exactly carnal, it was all about going to Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour touching down at the Greek
Theatre.Special guest star Rosie O'Donnell was in fine fettle for her set of stinging commentary. "Larry King and Donald Trump say I'm fat and gay. Fat and gay, gay and fat. Like I care if I don't give two ugly old toads a boner!" High-larious!We also loved technopop duo Erasure (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke), who put on a snappy show. Bell has been open about his sexuality since 1985, when George Michael was fresh meat. Comedian and SF native Margaret Cho was assigned the tour's emcee duties, and with all due respect, we'd hear
Gay-oriented entertainment emerges as powerful industry 2007-07-05 03:56:00 Michael PaolettaBillboardJul. 5, 2007 12:00 AMCyndi Lauper knows how to make an entrance. As the headliner of the 15-city, multi-artist True Colors tour, Lauper strutted onto the stage of New York's Radio City Music Hall on a recent warm summer evening wearing a vibrant red wig. Midway through show opener Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China), Lauper ripped the fake hair off her head to reveal her newly shorn violet tresses. She was a rainbow flag come to life. Card-carrying members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (LGBT, for short), as well as their gay-adjacent family and friends, hooted and hollered in appreciation. The True Colors trek, which concluded June 30 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, coincided with Gay Pride Month.Named after Lauper's enduring and empowering No. 1 hit from 1986, the five-hour True Colors concert was presented by Logo, MTV's multiplatform LGBT-focused network, Sirius Satellite Radio and Orbitz.From its national media Read more:industry
Gay icons rock Berkeley for a cause in post-Pride 'True Colors ... 2007-07-04 04:12:00 Pity the word "empowerment," so abused that it's hard to remember it can be as much a call to action as a self-help bromide. On Friday, Cyndi Lauper issued just such a call when she reminded a packed crowd at Berkeley
's Greek Theatre that they were partying for a purpose: passage of the Matthew Shepard Act, a bill that would add homophobic-based crimes to existing federal hate crimes laws."I hope this night will make you feel empowered," she called over a wave of cheers, "because a hate crime bill that don't include everyone is un-American."Benefiting the Human Rights Campaign and the Matthew Shepard Foundation, the True Colors
tour was, as its wisecracking emcee, Margaret Cho, dubbed it, "the world's first all-gay-icon music festival." The five-hour extravaganza combined old-school heroes with the younger bands they inspired, from Lauper, Deborah Harry and Erasure to the Dresden Dolls and the Toronto band the Cliks.

Thousands Pack Fair St. Louis 2007-07-04 04:01:00 A threat of wicked weather and fewer attractions; not enough to keep thousands from keeping an annual Independence Day date at Fair St. Louis
. "Last night got us off to a great start," said Fair committee member John Stupp about Tuesday night's crowd. The second and final night of the scaled back fair just as impressive even with mother nature nearly stealing the show. A quick afternoon downpour scattered crowds but didn't scare too many fair-goers away. "It didn't discourage the folks and it didn't discourage us," says Stupp. As 80's Icon Cyndi Lauper took the stage she was greeted by a mass of people. Many came to hear her, most like Michelle Reynolds came for the day, the concert and most importantly the fireworks. The afternoon shower and the threat of more in the evening not about to keep her family from cutting their day at the fair short. "Doesn't matter if it does it does we are here for the long haul," said Reynolds. An att
