Dame Edna - A New Year TV Appearance!

Happy New Year, Possums!!!

You little darlings! 2008 promises to be a busy ol' year in the life of our favourite Australian gigastar. Following a Christmas season in her gorgeous Swiss mountain mansion with Madge (they sat around the fire pulling each other's crackers!), Dame Edna is back in action and soon to start a new American tour, caring and sharing with her adoring fans Stateside.

Knowing that Edna is coming to the USA, we hear that Hilary Clinton has been sending her desperate requests to come and help on the campaign trail, the little minx. A woman of unparalleled political influence, Dame Edna just might be able to help give little 'Hil' a much needed boost in the polls. After all, she helped George Bush by simply sending him an atlas and showing him where Iraq actually was (bless him - he thought it was a shelf for his iPod....).

Closer to home, Dame Edna's estranged manager Barry Humphries will be profiled in an exciting new TV show on Channel 4 called "Barry Humprhies: The Man Inside Dame Edna" ....a title I suspect Dame Edna would seriously disapprove of! Call me old fashioned, but I think she would!

To get you warmed up for this special TV event, we have a fabulous little clip from a recent Australian TV interview:

So mark your calendars and don't miss the show, Possums! It's on Channel 4 at 10 pm on the 9th of January. What an exciting way to start 2008! Happy New Year, Possums!
