Cheyenne Jackson is hotness on two legs (skates)
If you haven't noticed, we're a bit gaga over hulking Broadway actor Cheyenne Jackson, who recently skated into the lead role of Sonny in Xanadu (which opens on July 10th). He's totally out, totally talented, and totally dreamy -- and here are a few new pics to prove it. Be sure to read our main page interview with Jackson, and skate through the jump for more pics!

"If you haven't noticed, we're a bit gaga over hulking Broadway actor Cheyenne Jackson,"
Actually, it would be kind of easy to miss since 95% of the blog entries by the AE staff are about looks. How hot someone is or what is good about their looks. At some point it all blends.

Xanadu on Nightline
Sorry for the latebreaker but it's still not too late for those outside of EST time zone. I'll probably upload the footage.

Adding Insult to Injury
Only a few years ago, Janet Mitchell was a highly successful, well-regarded doctor living in New York City. She was nationally known as a brilliant gynecological surgeon and a tireless advocate for patients with HIV/AIDS. But then, she lost her job and fell deeply into debt -- before selling her house at a fraction of its worth to a buyer who, family and friends say, took advantage of a sick woman. Today Mitchell is 57 years old and in an assisted living facility in Colorado, unable to care for herself. She suffers from a condition most people think affects only the elderly: Alzheimer's disease. Usually, that is the case -- the majority of people with Alzheimer's are over age 65. But up to 10 percent of Americans with the condition have early-onset Alzheimer's. "Nightline's" Vicki Mabrey reports.
Xanadu: The Musical
Best known for the presence of Olivia Newton-John, roller skates and elaborately orchestrated musical numbers, the 1980's cult movie "Xanadu" is widely regarded as one of the worst films of all time. And now it is making its way to Broadway. Can a bad movie make for a good musical? According to ABC's John Berman, it's a Sign of the Times.
We hope you'll join us tonight.

Thanks! I'll add
Xanadu
I saw the report on ABC World News Now which was co-hosted by Miguel Marquez. I'm concerned about Miguel's career since going on World News Now is the end of the road for journalists at ABC. They either go back to local news or get a new career. Anderson Cooper is the only former anchor to still be on national news. Miguel had a terrible start, he stumble over ever report he read eventually he recovered.
The segment about Xanadu had only a few clips of Cheyenne. Most of the report centered on how bad the movie was and the lead female actress in the play.
ABC World News Now
"I saw the report on ABC World News Now which was co-hosted by Miguel Marquez. I'm concerned about Miguel's career since going on World News Now is the end of the road for journalists at ABC.

NO WAY! Being a news junkie, I've watched WNN since day 1 and the opposite is true. For most, WNN is a stepping stone for bigger things, not a demotion. For many reporters, it's their first chance at national exposure. And when they go back to local news, it's a larger market compared to where they were before anchoring WNN. Mark Mullen, for example, went to San Francisco. Ron Corning is doing the morning news on Fox in NYC (the biggest news market in the US). Alison Stewart (who co-anchored with Cooper) is now at MSNBC. And you're wrong about Cooper's exclusivity. David Muir is now ABC's weekend anchor as well as GMA contributor. I could go on and on about how most anchors went onto better things.
The current male co-anchor, Ryan Owens, was not renewed at his last local news position so WNN is once again a promotion. As for Marquez, he was probably subbing, which means nothing about their careers. Subbing at WNN is a fun thing to do and most reporters are happy to do it because they get to play anchor for a few days. It's a fun environment. Jim Sciutto was a popular WNN sub and his career is now stronger than ever.
WNN
Thanks for the reply. I thought I was the only news junkie here. You are right about David Muir; I forgot about him. He's moved up. However for the rest of them they go back to local news. No matter how big the local market is it doesn't beat being on national news. That's where every journalist wants to be. Nobody wants to host WNN that's why there is a high turn over rate. It's early in the morning when no ABC journalist is awake to give live reports. So almost everything is recycled stuff from the day before.
Those that go back to local news are in a more visible position because of their experience on national news. One of the former anchors of WNN is now the lead anchor for ABC's Action News in Philadelphia.
Thanks for the update.
