Dame Edna for Prime Minister?

Hello, Possums!

News this week from Australia that Hillary Clinton has been urging Dame Edna to run for the top position (now, don't twist my words) in Australian politics!

While promoting her upcoming
Brisbane and Sydney appearances in her incredibly successful show "Barry Humphries and Friends – Back With A Vengeance", Dame Edna revealed that Hilary has been badgering her to run for Prime Minister, adding "You're lucky because your husband is dead!"

Australia's own gigastar/housewife continues to enjoy a triumphant return to her grateful homeland. Audiences have been clamouring for more of her glamourous caring and sharing, and after taping her new ITV series here in the UK this spring, she'll be returning to the land down under for more performances of her hit show. In a display of utter selflessness, she proclaimed she isn't doing the show for her personal gain: "I don't need the money, I'm a squillionairess," she said. "I'm doing this because you need me. You need me more than water."

And speaking of the new ITV show, we've learned that taping of "The Dame Edna Treatment" will begin on the 15th of March, with the show due to go out on Saturday nights this spring. Our gladis are quivering with excitement, Possums!!! Click here to see the official announcement of the show on the Dame Edna website, my darlings.
