Ace Young Gets Drunk & Sings to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Ace Young Wobbly With Mauricio & Kyle

The week's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was another amusing episode.

Taylor Armstrong continues her descent to totally MAD housewife. I'm surprised at how much we've been shown of Russell Armstrong. I thought the Taylor and Russell woes would likely be edited out for the most part.

Instead this week it seemed that Camille turned Lisa's Tea Party into some sort of intervention with Taylor. I'm not believing that Taylor was physically abused by Russell. It seems more believable, to me, that it would be Taylor who would go all Oklahoma on Russell's ass, to use Taylor's verbiage.

Knowing, as we do now, that the Armstrong's were broke, basically running swindling scams, if what I've read is to be believed, and it does seem believable, but it also makes something like wasting so much money on something as absurd as an extravagant birthday party for their 5 year old daughter, Kennedy, seem totally stupid.

Last year, if I remember right, the Armstrong's spent $70,000 on Kennedy's birthday party. This year's party looked like it likely cost a lot more than $70,000.

How much does it cost to get American Idol reject, Ace Young, to compose a song and sing at a birthday party? I"m guessing at least $100. Ace Young was one of the more amusing parts of this episode. He was hitting on Taylor with lame double entendres, like asking if she'd taken a ride on the pony yet. This had Taylor giggling like a school girl.

And then there was Ace Young singing the song. Earlier Taylor had told him it was so beautiful that it drove an entire office to sobbing tears when she played it for them. But, the song was really lame. Not a catchy tune. And Ace seemed to be a bit drunk while he sang, whilst holding his drink.

Brandi made a funny comment about Ace's drinking and singing. I don't remember the exact words though.

And then there was Russell's gift to his daughter, that for some reason the timing of the presentation had to be on some sort of Russell time table. When Russell was contradicted about when he could present the present there did seem a bit of a flash of anger that had me wondering how he would have acted if a camera was not aimed at him.

Russell's gift to his daughter was a big, full grown horse. Not a little pony. A big horse. Where are they going to keep that big horse? Horses are expensive, both to buy and to keep.

American Idol's Diana DeGarmo & Ace Young in HAIR on Broadway

Usually, or so it seems, ex-American Idols , who have gone on to do other things, have seemed to trend to the Disneyque family style type of things. Somewhat.

Ex Idols Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young have been on Broadway, since going to Hollywood to sing and not winning American Idol.

I think Diana DeGarma came in second, maybe, in the season Fantasia won. If I remember right, Ace Young was sent home in about 7th place. His falsetto or vibrato or whatever you call it, wore on listener's ears. Or maybe it was just my tone deaf ears and I assumed it annoyed others, as well.

Diana DeGarmo was in an Off-Broadway musical called The Toxic Avenger. Ace Young was in a revival of a Broadway musical called Grease.

And now, both Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young, starting March 9, 2010, will take over roles in the Broadway revival of HAIR, which has been running since 2009.

Ace Young will play Claude. Claude is the leader of the tribe. The one who gets his hair cut, because he gets drafted to go to Vietnam.

Ace Young has been quoted as saying he has no problem with taking his clothes off for HAIR's famous nude scenes. However, unless the script has changed, Claude is the only character who does not lose his clothes.

I do not know what character Diana DeGarmo plays and have read nothing about how she feels about taking her clothes off, on stage.

I saw HAIR performed in Fort Worth, Texas. Performed by Texas Wesleyan University drama students. Despite Texas Wesleyan being some sort of Christian school. And despite Fort Worth being in the Buckle of the Bible Belt, the HAIR nude scenes remained intact.

Going to see HAIR for the nude scenes is a really dumb reason to go. It's the music that makes HAIR the best musical it has ever been my pleasure to witness. I found some of the nudity unsettling, like when this plus-sized, what I thought was a female scold, ripped of her clothes to reveal he was a she. This etched painfully upon my memory, then slowly faded.

I'm sure what ever degree of undress Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young acheive, it will manage to be photo-documented by people violating the no cameras rule, such as was done with that Harry Potter kid when he played the demented guy in Equus. No one needed to see Harry Potter with his clothes off. That's just disturbing.

UPDATE: Anonymous has corrected some of my erroneous information and added additional information. The correction? Ace Young is playing Berger, not Claude. Which means Ace is one of the tribe members who loses his clothes.

And, Diana DeGarmo has also been on Broadway, in addition to Off-Broadway, in Hairspray.
