Dame Edna in Dick Whittington at the New Wimbledon Theatre!
Hello possums! Hello darlings!
The internet and twittersphere are awash with news and reviews of a certain glittering gigastar presence in the pantomime at the New Wimbledon Theatre in London this year. How gorgeous!
Non-entities around the city are flocking to this fabulous new show to brighten up their dull grey lives and take home some of that fabulous festive Dame Edna spirit.
Dame Edna is something of a Christmas miracle, isn't she? We've known for years that her shows can heal the sick with the gift of vitamin L for laughter. Theatre ushers often find wheelchairs, canes, and zimmer frames abandoned, as the afflicted walk away in perfect health after an evening in the presence of the world's greatest international phenomenon, royal confidante, swami, and of course, housewife/megastar.
If you haven't already got tickets, then quicksticks, possums, get clicking now!!!
And the in meantime, check out these gorgeous photos and articles to get a glimpse of the festive fun:

Dame Edna and Cast Prepare for Panto in Wimbledon!
You little darlings!
You've been wondering how to add a bit of glitter and glamour to your dull lives this Chrissie, haven't you? What better way than to add some megastar magic to the holiday season in the form of the gorgeous Dame Edna Everage in pantomime at the New Wimbledon Theatre ? How fabulously festive, possums!!!
Here's a little behind the scenes look at rehearsals as we quickly approach opening night. Dame Edna's manager Barry Humphries is mysteriously at rehearsals, and as they don't tend to get along very well, it seems that Edna has chosen to excuse herself during the time he's there. Very wise too, as everyone knows he's extremely jealous of Edna's success, and is only after her squillions!!!
Enjoy, possums, and get your tickets soon...

Dame Edna's Hat for the Queen in Oz
Darlings!
Dame Edna's good friend Lilibet is currently visiting her subjects in Australia, and all eyes will be on her wardrobe choices during this important commonwealth visit (in addition to the faux pas being made by Oz digintaries like Julia Gillard in curtsey-gate!).
Let's hope she has a selection of suitable hats to wear Down Under. But if not, perhaps she might call on Dame Edna to borrow one of Edna's gorgeous Kenny Everage originals? Edna might even lend her this iconic chapeau from Ascot in 1976:

Dame Edna Promotes Her Chrissie Panto Debut!
Oh Possums!
It's hard to believe, but it won't be long before we'll be pulling each other's crackers in front of a roaring fire!
Oh, don't twist my words, you wicked little darlings! I mean to say, of course, that Chrissie is just around the corner. And we know this is true, because Dame Edna recently took to the skies to promote her latest theatrical adventure.
She'll be appearing in pantomime this Christmas with Sam Attwater and Anna Williamson in Dick Whittington (at the New Wimbledon Theatre), and was recently seen at the London Eye with her co-stars, flying high above the adoring crowds:

Dame Edna in "Kath and Kim" movie?
Hello darlings!
Dame Edna recently revealed via Twitter that she was about to fly to Rome to star in Kath and Kim's new movie. How exciting, possums! Can't wait to see it!!!
I wonder if she'll stop in at the Vatican during her time in the Italian capital? The Pope ("Little Benny" as she likes to call him) is constantly on the phone begging Dame Edna for spiritual advice, so perhaps she'll squeeze him into her busy filming schedule.
I suspect she might also try to convince him to stop wearing those frocks....she doesn't like it when men dress up in women's clothing! How yucky!

Dame Edna & Will Young on The Rob Brydon Show!
Darlings!
At the start of his most recent show, Rob Brydon described Dame Edna as "The greatest woman who ever lived!". No truer words have ever been spoken, and she certainly added some megastar magic to Rob's show on Friday evening!
Offering some caring words of advice to little Rob, she purred "You're starting your career off the way I would recommend...quietly, very quietly. I think people will come around to you!" She meant it in a nice way, possums!
They later discussed the fashions of Lady Gaga, and she told Rob that Lady Gaga makes too much of an effort....then turning to the audience added "...whereas women here in the studio have made no effort whatever!" A fashion icon speaks!
Further into the show, upon meeting singer Will Young, she declared "I've never heard of you." Perhaps Kenny is a fan, though? And ultimately, Edna and Will made beautiful music together by singing a classic duet. His career will be one huge disappointment after such a show-business peak like that!!!
It was a show not to be missed, possums, so catch it now on BBC iPlayer:

Being a stranger to pantomime I am looking forward to all the fun and frolics and meeting all of you lovely little possums of London, but most of all, the thought of guiding Dick Whittington to become Lord Mayor of London thrills me. I did the exact same thing for Boris Johnson not long ago."

If you happen to live in London, check out the SRO Audiences site and get your tickets to a fabulous night with international icon Dame Edna Everage as she cares and shares with Jason Manford on his Comedy Rocks show for ITV.
Could it be that Jason's mother has been begging Dame Edna to help Jason by offering some sensible advice following the - call me old fashioned - rather yucky antics that lead to his departure from The One Show?
She'll no doubt be probing all the nooks and crannies of little Jason's life with the insight that only a housewife/megastar can offer. She'll be laughing, but she'll be laughing compassionately...
