You little darlings!

Dame Edna's seminal farewell stage event "Eat Pray Laugh" continues to delight Australian possums far and wide!  How gorgeous!

Dame Edna Tour Video

Hello possums!

It won't be long before Dame Edna's gorgeous final tour "Eat Pray Laugh" kicks off in Oz!  Non-entities around Australia will have their very lives transformed by the healing effect of Edna's presence on stage.  Lucky little darlings!  After seeing the world's favourite chat show host, royal confidante, and swami in her ground-breaking new show, the remainder of their dull, grey days are sure to be a huge disappointment. 

From the official tour website:

“So, Possums, please do come and say goodbye to me. It would be lovely to see your faces for the last time,” Dame Edna says.

“When you hear your grandchild's voice saying, ‘Grandma, did you see Dame Edna's farewell show?’ don't betray their faith in you. Say ‘yes darling! Many, many times!’”

During the all-singing, all-dancing spectacular, Dame Edna promises to “empower” audiences as she meditates on the big issues of gender, ethnicity and climate change.

“You will see me at the height of my powers, taking you on a wonderful spiritual journey you'll never forget. I'm not saying my show will heal you, but you'll certainly leave the theatre feeling considerably better for the experience.”

While Act One of Eat Pray Laugh! features Humphries with his friends, this really serves as “just a bit of foreplay really before I make an orgasmic appearance in Act Two”, Dame Edna says.

For a sneak peak, here is the promotional video for the tour, and we'll be sure to bring you all the news as the show takes Australia by storm in the coming months:

Dame Edna Becomes Diet Guru with Jenny Craig!

Darlings!

Are you in need of some help to shed a few pounds?  Is the sight of Sir Les Patterson not enough to put you off your food?

Worry not, possums!  As usual, our favourite housewife/megastar is coming to your rescue, showing you the way!  

Despite previously having plastic surgery so that she looks her age - having crow's feet inserted because she looked too young, and grafting one of Elizabeth Taylor's love handles onto her chin to give her a slightly heavier appearance - she has now decided that her adoring public need her assistance in their battle with the bulge.

And so with her friends at Jenny Craig in Australia, she will be losing weight ahead of her eagerly anticipated tour "Eat, Pray, Laugh!" down under.  As always, she'll be helping non-entities around the world as they follow her progress, providing the inspiration they need in their own pursuit of gigastar gorgeousness.

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 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:

Quicksticks, darlings! Get your tickets now - there's not a moment to lose! Somehow we think that Pantomime will never be the same again...

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:

Dame Edna on The Rob Brydon Show!

A Dame Edna Media Alert!

Hello Possums!

Dame Edna has been a busy ol' gigastar of late, with new guest spots on radio and television for us all to enjoy. The world is desperate for a glimpse of the glamour whenever she can fit in an appearance between advising Obama, bailing out Greece with her squillions, and offering the Pope spiritual counselling (as well as begging him to stop wearing those frocks...how yucky!).

You've got another day to catch the fabulous Edna on BBC4's "Barry Humphries in Weimar"...could she be a modern Marlene Dietrich?

And you'll want to mark your diaries for a glittering gigastar guest spot on the The Rob Brydon Show , 19th of August at 10pm, on BBC One! Don't miss it, my darlings!

Dame Edna, Dick Whittington, and Boris Johnson!

You little darlings!

This week we bring you some Major Megastar Merry Christmas news!

It has just been announced that Dame Edna will be making her pantomime debut later this year, playing the "Saviour of London" in "Dick Whittington" at the New Wimbledon Theatre in London. How gorgeous!

Dame Edna had this to say about the news:

"I am delighted to be making my pantomime debut and starring as the Saviour of London in Dick Whittington. 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."

All of Edna's possums (and wombles!) will be celebrating the fact that they can look forward to a gorgeous glittering gigastar Chrissie this year in Wimbledon, and will be clamouring for tickets to see the world's favourite housewife, talkshow host, and international phenomenon as she treads the boards in London once more.

Dame Edna, Paul O'Grady and Stacey Solomon!

Hello Possums!

It was a busy ole wedding weekend for Dame Edna! Everyone who was anyone was clamouring for Edna to add a bit of gladioli glamour to the royal wedding festivites!

And so it was that at the end of a very busy day on Saturday, Dame Edna joined the gorgeous Paul O'Grady on his fabulous new show to share her wit and wedding wisdom.

Joining them to discuss the delicious details was the bewildering but ever-delightful Stacey Solomon, who has clearly become a new favourite with our megastar royal confidant:

Dame Edna's Wedding Adventures with Jay Leno & Piers Morgan!

Darlings, as I type, Dame Edna is at the Goring Hotel in London helping little Kate unpack the dress her son Kenny has designed for the big event! (It's just our little secret, possums - don't tell anyone!).

And as we count the hours until the wedding, let's enjoy some of Dame Edna's magical moments as Hostess, Caterer, Bouncer, and Loveliness Consultant to this spectacular royal event, including this clip from the Jay Leno show in the US:



Dame Edna was also a guest of Piers Morgan on his CNN show. It was a truly revealing encounter, as she hinted that Prince Charles had a soft spot for our gigastar/housewife:



Elsewhere, Edna's been on the BBC and also spotted in a London suburb incognito:

She's a busy ole gigastar, possums! Aren't Will and Kate lucky little royals to have her help on this most important of occasions!?!

Dame Edna Weddings - Graham Norton and Piers Morgan!

Oh Possums!

Are you quivering with excitement??? Little Will and Kate's nuptials are nearly at hand! Rejoice!

What kind of advice would a world famous gigastar offer the lovely couple? No doubt she'll have plenty to say on the big day, and here she is with Piers Morgan in London taping for his program on CNN:

Dame Edna's Facebook Page

Well, at least one of them promises to be interesting...!

Edna doesn't just offer the worldly wisdom of an international icon to royals and celebrities - she's also happy to help the paupers and non-entities (and yes, even people like you!). Here she is on the Graham Norton show doing exactly that:

Dame Edna is Royal Wedding Correspondent!

Hoping to find some Gigastar Glamour in the Royal Wedding coverage, Possums?

Lucky viewers in Oz will be guided through the event by a fabulous correspondent who has special access to Buckingham Palace! And we hear that this correspondent might even be advising a particular grandmother on her fashion choices for the big day...

Dame Edna and Jason Manford!

Quicksticks, darlings!

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...

SRO Audiences

Jason's other scheduled guests will include Jason Byrne and Paloma Faith (who appeared recently with Edna at the Prince's Trust Rock Gala 2010). Don't miss it, Possums!!!

Dame Edna 2010 News Review

Happy New Year, Possums!

You little darlings! Are you making any resolutions? Reviewing the year gone-by?

The media are, of course, all taking a look back over the year, and bringing in all manner of experts to help them with the task. The BBC's Today programme, with guest editor Colin Firth at the helm, did just that on Tuesday. And who better to invite to look over the past 12 months than a woman who is friend, confidant, and advisor to the world's most powerful and influential people - Dame Edna Everage?

And so we were treated to a most illuminating exchange between Dame Edna and John Humphries, learning, amongst other things, that Edna was involved in setting up the current political coalition governing the United Kingdom, arranging the upcoming royal wedding, and in saving the Chilean miners. It's all in a day's work for a glittering gigastar!
