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.

Quicksticks, darlings! Get your tickets now!!!!!!!!!!!!

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:

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:

Dame Edna and Elle Macpherson

Hello Possums!

Our treat for you today is Part 2 of Dame Edna's gorgeous television show "Dame Edna Kisses It Better!".

In this exciting episode, Edna visits Elle Macpherson, who is visiting Edna's facility for a dose of Australian caring and sharing. Edna offers some invaluable advice about motherhood, and they discuss top tummies, lactation, and breast pumps. But in a nice way, of course...

A Little Dame Edna Healing!

Hello Possums!

With all the trouble and strife in the news these days, it seems that we could all use a little love and healing. Who can we turn to in these difficult times? Well I can think of no-one better than the world's best-loved gigastar and guru, Dame Edna Everage. She can administer some healthy doses of Vitamin L for laughter, and a gentle reminder that the greatest gift in the world is the ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others!

So here then is the first clip from her fabulous television show "Dame Edna Kisses It Better". Watch, and be healed...

Barry Humprhies Wins "2011 Oldie of the Year"!

Hello, Possums!

News just in that satirical magazine "The Oldie" has awarded Barry Humphries their 2011 "Oldie of the Year" award "for his wonderful split personality which has entertained us for so many years".

Other winners this year include Jean Marsh for "Old Maid of the Year", Prince Phillip for "Consort of the Year", and Ann Widdicombe for "Hoofer of the Year".

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!!!

Happy Australia Day, Possums!

Happy Australia Day, you little darlings!


To celebrate this gorgeous day, we're bringing you an Edna-rama assembly of antipodean antics and megastar magic!

First off, a link to the Australia Day Keynote Address given by Sir Michael Parkinson. Of course, little Michael couldn't talk about Australia without referencing the country's greatest gift to the world - Dame Edna Everage! He noted:

“Dame Edna Everage once said -
and we must never tire of quoting the classics -
that Australians are good at sport because of
'the sun, the diet, the healthy outdoor life
and the total lack of intellectual stimulation'."

What a gorgeous sentiment! Call me old-fashioned, but it is! To see the whole article, click here:

And next, darlings, is a little clip of Dame Edna addressing her adoring fans at a show in Adelaide in 1984:



Caring and sharing at it's glittering gigastar best! Happy Australia Day, 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!

In case you missed it, you can listen to it here:

Dame Edna Christmas Eve Treats!

Oh Possums!

Isn't it exciting?! It's almost time to see what Santa has for you in his bulging sack! How gorgeous!

But until that big moment, here are the last two segments of Dame Edna's gorgeous Christmas show from her Dame Edna Experience series. Caring and sharing to put you in the holiday spirit!

Dame Edna's Christmas Experience #3

What can make you feel more festive than a glittering glimpse of a gigastar? For your Christmas enjoyment, here is part three of our seasonal celebration, Edna-style...

Dame Edna Christmas Experience #2

You little darlings! Here is your second Dame Edna Chrissie Cracker...

The Dame Edna Christmas Experience!

Bonza Chrissie, Possums!

Here's the first segment of Dame Edna's gorgeous and legendary Christmas TV spectacular. Hope it thrills and fills your heart with seasonal megastar magic! And you lucky little non-entities, there'll be more of this in the days to come...!

Dame Edna Rocks!

Hello Possums!

Are you feeling festive? Lord knows, it's a time for giving, and there's no-one in the world who does more for charity than Dame Edna Everage. As chairwoman of "Friends of the Prostate" and the "Prostate Olympics", she's a shining example of lending a hand whenever needed!

And so we're thrilled to announce that she'll be appearing on TV this Sunday as part of the Prince's Trust Rock Gala 2010, along with such luminaries as Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Jools Holland, Tom Jones, Paloma Faith, Midge Ure, Mike & The Mechanics, Mark King and Status Quo. Isn't that gorgeous?!

Don't miss it, Possums! Quicksticks! Mark your diaries and settle in for a glittering night of entertainment!

Dame Edna and John Humphrys!

Hello darlings!

Are you feeling festive? What are you planning for the Chrissie season?

One thing you won't want to miss will be the guest editors on BBC Radio Four's "Today" programme between Chrissie and New Year! "Why is that?", I hear you cry.

The reason is, of course, that Dame Edna will be on the air to fill our hearts with megastar magic! Gorgeous little Colin Firth is going to be the guest editor on 28th December, and one of the things he is planning is to reunite Today presenter John Humphrys with the world's favourite Australian icon, Dame Edna Everage.

You'll recall that the last time John spoke to Dame Edna on the air, they were discussing the possibility of Edna working with John as a co-presenter. She pointed out, however, that John might have some difficulty with this as he obviously finds her too stimulating, and his concentration might suffer as a result! Well, you can understand...

Whatever the result, we know that on the 28th the programme will be glittering and gorgeous if Dame Edna is on the air. Don't miss it, Possums!

Dame Edna and a Nude Sean Connery!

Hello Possums!

The BBC have just reported on the discovery of a nude painting of the gorgeous Sean Connery, created in 1951 when he was life model for Edinburgh art students. This was of course long before the days of 007 and his huge success as an esteemed actor, and comes as quite a surprise to many of his fans!


But Dame Edna's army of loyal fans around the globe have known about his modelling days for decades! The gorgeous little Sean was, of course, a guest on her pivotal and ground-breaking talk show "The Dame Edna Experience", and Edna probed deeply during her interview with the world's favourite super-spy, getting to the naked truth in no time!!! She really did have her finger on the pulse...





She's truly a woman of glittering global influence and power! Who else could get Sir Sean to admit to his naked past with such good taste and style?
