| Anyone remember that ''Forbidden Broadway'' parody about people who confuse Chita Rivera with Rita Moreno (or vice versa)? Here's a variation: Two weeks ago, I reported that Jeremy told a funny story about his literal run-in with Chita Rivera at the Tonys. He said Chita, frightened by an onslaught of male dancers running offstage, grabbed Jeremy and said, ''Save me!'' Turns out he meant to say that was Liza, not Chita. So we've updated our story to include Jeremy's cute correction/mini-apology at the end. |

| And btw, if you haven't head it, it's fascinating. Lots of discussion about her relationships with Marlon Brando and Elvis: | |

| Just found this on YouTube, from a 2002 benefit. Looks like it was shot for some broadcast. And Bette could've rehearsed a bit more. Still fun! | |

| This is some serious fun, but then youtube linked me to this next Chita number from The Judy Garland Show. My Friday just got a lot better. | |

| Here's the video: Fox 5 anchor Rosanna Scotto even sings part of ''America'' to Chita before gushing about her in the film. Oops! | |

| This confusion should prove once and for all that Jeremy Jordan is not gay. | |

| Jeremy has a good sense of humor about being mistaken for the other Jeremy Jordans | |

| His Twitter intro reads: ''Google me. I'm not the 90's pop singer/model. I'm also not the gay porn star. I'm the other one.'' Jeremy has said that his first professional stage gig might have added to the confusion. In Douglas Carter Beane's ''The Little Dog Laughed'' at Hartford TheaterWorks in 2008, he played the gay call boy, and there are pictures of him in bed, with another man (Chad Allen). For the record, Jeremy's longtime love, and wife, is Ashley Spencer, whom he'd met in ''Rock of Ages.'' |
