The perils of a Lo-cut dress: Jennifer Lopez suffers embarrassing wardrobe malfunction live on German TV

By PAMELA OWEN

Diva: Lopez has been touring Europe to promote her latest album 'Love?' and has done a number of TV interviews


As far as wardrobe malfunctions go, Jennifer Lopez could probably count this one as her worst ever.

The 42-year-old singer managed to fully expose her ample bosom during an interview with German television.

Lopez has fiercely been promoting her latest album, 'Love?' across Europe but the recent appearance left her a little over exposed and will, no doubt, make her blush.




Unsuspecting: Jennifer is in a jovial mood as she is greeted by the show's presenter Thomas Gottschalk


Windy: TV presenter Thomas Gottschalk runs to Jennifer's rescue but little do they know she's about to reveal even more flesh


It all started when the signer arrived on a horse drawn carriage for the live filming of 'Wetten das...?' - German for 'wanna bet that' - at the Coliseo Balear bull fighting arena in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

The singer looked gorgeous in a floor-length beige and black dress with a matching head band and the crowds screamed as she waved.


Superstar: Fans at the bull fighting arena went crazy as Jennifer performed her hit On the Floor


But her flowing outfit, which was barely held together with a large brown belt, was probably not suited and kept whipping up in the windy weather.

As she greeted the show's presenter Thomas Gottschalk and Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel a huge gust of wind started to blow her flowing dress up.

Almost immediately Gottschalk can be seen scuttling over to her in a bid to try and keep the ensemble down.

And Lopez sighs with relief as she manages to escape showing too much flesh.
But she didn't suspect she was about to commit an even greater faux pas


Glamorous: The singer talks to host Gottschalk and Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel


As she sits down the singer's entire breast pops out, leaving her completely exposed.
Completely oblivious to what just happened, the singer carries on with the interview unaware that she has just given Gottschalk and Vettel an eyeful.

After discussing her latest album and revealing a bit about her personal life, she then went on to sing her hit song, On The Floor.

The interview was just one of many that she has been doing in Europe and was recently spotted with her mum Guadaulpe in Paris.

Last year Lopez spoke about how having her own children helped the pair mend their own troubled relationship.

Dressed casually in a grey cardigan and jeans, J-Lo didn't let the rain dampen her spirits as she did a bit of shopping with her mum.

The Diva, who is married to Marc Anthony, also recently revealed in an interview with the BBC that she might not be returning American Idol.

Lopez, who judged alongside Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson, announced in April that she was keen to start a new show to try and find undiscovered talent in Latin American countries with her husband.

The show, called Que Viva!, means that Lopez, who has two children, will be able to spend more time with her family.

Something wrong, Katie? Ms Price shies away from kissing boyfriend Leandro as auditions continue for new modelling show

By SARAH BULL

Something wrong? Katie Price shies away from boyfriend Leandro Penna as he tries to go in for a kiss while she films auditions for her new reality show Discovered By Katie Price


She's been more than a little vocal about her love for boyfriend Leandro Penna in recent months.

But at auditions for her new reality show Discovered By Katie Price today, the glamour model looked less than impressed as her Argentinian toyboy tried to give her a kiss between auditions.

Katie, 33, appeared to recoil as Leandro moved in for a passionate embrace while the mother-of-three sat on the panel for the programme with her fellow judges.


I don't want to ruin my make-up! Perhaps Katie was just worried about smudging her lip gloss in between auditions


Perhaps Katie didn't want to ruin her make-up as she continued her search for Britain's next top glamour model.

The images are in sharp contrast to Katie's previous public declarations of love for 25-year-old model Leandro.

The pair even sparked rumours they were engaged earlier this week when Katie was spotted wearing a giant diamond on her ring finger.


A bit bright for you? Leandro wore his sunglasses even inside as auditions continued at the Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Birmingham


Pretty in pink: Katie wore a bright pink outfit and teamed it with cascades of tumbling blonde curls


However Katie was quick to deny the reports, writing on her Twitter page: 'I'm NOT engaged if you look at old pics and new I ALWAYS wear rings on wedding finger and same on other hand and always will.'

Leandro has been with Katie every step of the way as she searches for the hottest young models around the UK.

Hopefuls at today's auditions at Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Birmingham included one young woman who took to the stage wearing little more than a tiny patterned string bikini.


The next big thing? One hopeful auditions for Katie and her fellow judges in the hope of making it in the modelling world


Deliberating: Katie and her fellow judges discuss who should go through to the next stage


Discovered by Katie Price, which will air on Sky Living this autumn, will see Katie set up Black Sheep Management modelling agency to find a model who ‘will break the mould’.

The show is being filmed for Sky Living and hopes to use Miss Price's knowledge, gained from fifteen years in the business, to find exciting new talent.

According to the website: 'Katie's on the hunt for "the next big thing" to sign to a new talent agency. The winner will get a year long contract, personal mentoring from Katie and loads of other fabulous prizes.'


Hoping for the best: Hordes of people, both men and women, turned up to the auditions hoping to be given a shot


The successful candidate is expected to have the ‘drive, passion and hunger to rival hers’, according to programme-makers.

Those who make the shortlist will be put through their paces in a series of challenges and learn about the industry in the show.

Talking about the show, Katie said: ‘This is a really personal mission for me. I know I’m a good businesswoman and if I find the right boy of girl, I would like to sign them to my new agency.’

Baldy Gaga! Singer stuns TV audience as she whips off green wig to reveal hairless head

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Wigging out: A bald Lady Gaga sings to her green hairpiece as she performed on Paul O'Grady Live last night


She's worn her hair in cola can rollers, tied it in a bow on the top of her head and dyed it a rainbow of colours.

But clearly it was getting all a bit too much for Lady Gaga, who seems to have decided that having no hair at all is now the way to go.

The singer left her fans gobsmacked last night, when she performed on TV completely bald.

The Judas star was a guest on Paul O'Grady Live and arrived on the show wearing a bobbed green wig which matched her fringed dress.

She immediately took to a piano which had been covered with brown curly hair, to perform the promotional song from her new album, aptly called Hair.


Furry: Sticking with the hair theme for her song, Gaga's piano was covered in brown locks, making it look like a huge dog


Playing with fire: Gaga was surrounded by frames as she performed her song


She sat down at the piano and took off the green wig - which she hung up in front of her - revealing a bald head underneath, before launching into the song.

Halfway through, she paused, grabbed her wig and put it back on her head as she finished the tune, all the time surrounded by fire.


Out of space: Gaga looked very alien-like as she greeted the audience


To rapturous applause from her adoring fans, she blew kisses to them before joining O'Grady on the sofa for a chat.

After declaring that he was 'my queen', they spoke about her new album Born This Way, which is the fastest-selling album to date.


I'll have you back now: Gaga reaches for her wig halfway through her performance


Quick fix: Gaga adjusts her wig back on her head before continuing with her song


She said: 'I just can't believe it, it's such a dream comes true and I was so nervous when I put the album out, I just wanted to make my fans so happy and wanted them to enjoy the music.'

After the break, she came back on the show, dressed in a colourful fringed jacket, pants and stockings and suspenders, a beret and huge sunglasses.

This week, Gaga got in trouble with the police while performing in Paris, when she caused a frenzy outside her hotel room when she leaned out of her window calling down to her fans.


You are my queen: Gaga and O'Grady chat away like old friends



Mismatched: Gaga came back after the break in a colourful fringed jacket, beret and huge sunglasses


According to the Sun, she was fined and told off by bosses at the Park Hyatt hotel for disturbing the peace in the early hours of Thursday morning.

A source told the paper: 'GaGa was given a telling off for her antics.

'Hotel bosses tried to get her to come in because of the frenzy she was creating outside but she didn't listen so the police turned up and fined her. She was like a woman possessed. You know what she's like with her fans.'

The cutest dancers: Street dancing eight-year-olds steal the show on America's Got Talent

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Off to Vegas: The Art of Teknique show off their Hip Hop dance moves on America's Got Talent


They are still at elementary school. But this trio of street dancing pre-teens stole the show on last night's America's Got Talent.

The Art of Teknique - three boys aged from eight to ten - won themselves tickets to Vegas after they started busting out some killer Hip Hop moves dressed in dapper suits and black trainers.

The boys grinned cheekily throughout their performance and the judges were delighted, praising them for their 'real skill'.


Got the moves: The boys, aged eight to ten, were in perfect sync


Piers Morgan told the youngsters: 'You were absolutely brilliant,' while Sharon Osbourne added: "You guys love it. You love to dance.

'You're very natural performers, I adore you.'

When stand-up comic Howie Mandel asked the boys, from Sacramento in California if they liked girls yet, one shyly replied: 'No!'


Dapper: The boys wore matching suits and trainers for their performance


The usual crowd of strange wannabes was also out in force for the auditions, hosted by Nick Cannon, including a 46-year-old man who claimed to hold the world record for blowing up hot water bottles to bursting point.

Sadly he was unable to even explode even one - blaming a new brand.

Piers said: 'That was one of most pointless things ever seen in my entire life.'



We did it! The three best friends celebrate getting three yeses, as their mums watch from the side


Go boys! Their mothers watched from the side with Nick Cannon


An aunt of another rejected contestant then confronted Piers and told him he was 'no good'.

The highlight of the show for CNN host Piers was a 55-year-old realtor from Denver who came on stage with a 'special song' for him.

Marylee told the judges: 'I write songs for dead people. I take stories about someone who has died then write a song about them.

'I sang silently for decades. But I have written a special song for someone here who happens to be alive.'


Songs for dead people: Marylee made an exception and composed a song for a living person - Piers Morgan


I love her! Piers backed Marylee, saying 'it's about as good as it gets'


Piers put his head in his hands but after she had serenaded him, along with a projector movie of old Piers footage, he said: 'That was a good a song as I have ever heard and one of the best movies.

'I'll definitely see you go all the way. It was great for me and you get a resounding yes.'

Sharon and Howie disagreed however and Piers' crooner had to go home.



The panel: Piers, Sharon Morgan and stand-up comic Howie Mandel


Another hit of the night was a band of young dads called BGP who gave a rendition of Elton John's Bennie and the Jets.

They received the first standing ovation of the night and Piers said they had 'great charisma'.

Other contestants included a free-style dancer called Alaska who had the judges joining in, a 'charming' pole-dancer and a wannabe comedian who once told 676 jokes in one hour.

Now THIS is how you wear those colours, Cheryl: Leggy Nicole Scherzinger rubs in the hurt over Cole's disastrous orange and purple X Factor outfit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Looking good: Nicole's outfit, seemed to be subconsciously teaching Cheryl Cole a lesson in how to wear orange and purple


After lasting a mere four auditions, the most enduring image of Cheryl Cole's American X Factor career is perhaps the controversial orange and purple outfit she wore on her first day.

And after the Geordie star was slated for her bold colour blocking, it appears her replacement Nicole Scherzinger has taken it upon herself to teach Cole a lesson on how to wear it well.

It might have been a coincidence that the former Pussycat Doll had a stab at wearing the clashing colours as she arrived to auditions in Miami, but nonetheless it sent a strong message to her predecessor.

Despite wearing the same colours as the 27-year-old Girls Aloud star, Nicole sexed up the look in her tiny purple mini skirt and seductive orange top.


Spotted: Nicole Scherzinger leaves her hotel in Miami as she head to the X Factor auditions in Miami today, wearing the same purple and orange colours as sacked judge Cheryl Cole, pictured last month in Los Angeles


She elongated her legs in tan suede heels and curled her hair just enough for a beachy look - without looking overly blow dried as Cole had previously.

Nicole's outfit choice was a final blow to Cheryl, after speculation that the Brit's dream of surviving Stateside was shattered after some terrible wardrobe choices.

The 32-year-old upped the sex factor, wearing the tiny ensemble - in place of Cole's clownish Diane Von Furstenburg flares.

Nicole's outfit, which was in reverse colour to the one Kim Kardashian wore last week in London, was peach coloured on top and fastened together with a gold belt.

And the fans couldn't get enough of Nicole's enthusiastic personality as she amped up the atmosphere in Florida.


She's got the X Factor: At least the fans know who Nicole, formerly of the Pussycat Dolls, is



New best friends: Nicole has been cosying up to Paula Abdul, who previously posed with Cheryl


Cheryl has gone to ground since she was unceremoniously fired from her judging job on the American show.

But she did send flowers to Nicole and fellow judge Paula Abdul last week.

However she may be alarmed by reports today, from Scherzinger's former manager, claiming that Cheryl was only ever used as hype.

Jeff Haddad, who managed the former Pussycat Doll for 13 years, has alleged that Nicole was always going to be on the panel.


Here come the boys: Simon Cowell looked hot and bothered as he arrived in Miami, while L.A. Reid looked smart in his suit


Fan frenzy: Paula Abdul was greeted by her fans by the gates, who were all trying to get a picture of the star


He claims that he had long discussions with Simon Cowell and Scherzinger was always a frontrunner for the judging panel job.

‘In my opinion, Simon always wanted Nicole as a judge. There was never a question that she wouldn’t get it’, Jeff told Heat Magazine.

He added: ‘Nicole was always going to be on that judging panel and Cheryl was just being used as a cog in the wheel to cause hype and publicise the show.’

The magazine reported that Mr Haddad doesn’t recall Cheryl’s name being mentioned during talks about the role.


The boys: They may not have the fashion impact, but Steve Jones and Simon Cowell did win the female vote


After managing the star for over a decade, Haddad was apparently given the axe by Nicole shortly before her U.S. X Factor contract was signed, the magazine reported.

But in his opinion he said that Cheryl’s accent wouldn’t have been the issue and was rather an excuse for publicity.

Regarding being allegedly fired by Nicole, he said: ‘If you serve as someone’s manager and develop their career for over a decade and that person didn’t pay you after landing the biggest TV show of their career, what does that tell you?’


Nicole fans: Girls gather to welcome the judges in Miami


An X Factor spokesperson dismissed the ex-managers claims of a publicity stunt as 'complete and utter rubbish'.

Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has revealed that he will broadcast the footage of Cheryl Cole during her short stint on the US X Factor.

Her appearances at the two audition venues she attended are said to be shown when the series is aired in September.

Cowell told Sky News: ‘We will show it. I mean it’s reality TV. There’s no point lying about it. It is what it is.’



Clashing colours: Kim Kardashian in London last week in an orange Gucci dress (left), Rose Byrne in Gucci in May's Harper's Bazaar (centre), and Jessica Alba in DVF at the CFDA Awards on Monday (right)


He added: ‘It wasn’t really such a big deal as everybody thought. We have a lot of other shows. Something happened so we said, ‘Do you want to return to the UK show? ‘ and she said no.

‘The we offered her the show back and I don’t think she wanted to come back… Truth is you’ve got to move on. It’s about the contestants. They’ve got no interest in us bickering.’

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger fits in purr-fectly as she joins U.S. X Factor judging panel at New Jersey auditions

By DAILY MAIL REPORTERS


What's up New Jersey? Nicole Scherzinger and her fellow judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and LA Reid take the stage for the first day of X Factor auditions


There were both new and old faces on stage when the X Factor U.S. judges kick-started the first day of auditions in New Jersey today.

Waving her arms in the air, newcomer Nicole Scherzinger cheered triumphantly as she took to the stage for the first time since getting promoted from co-host to judge on the hit talent show.

The former Pussycat Doll didn't waste any time getting front and centre as she waved to the crowd of fans there to welcome her and fellow judges, Simon Cowell, Paula Adbul and LA Reid.

As 32-year-old Scherzinger looked like the cat who got the cream lapping up the glory of her dream job, jilted judge Cheryl Cole, 27, languished at home in London licking her wounds.


Saula is back: American Idol judges and close friends Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul look happy to be reunited


American Idol alums Cowell and Abdul, dubbed 'Saula' were already continuing their cosy friendship as the Straight Up singer perched on the British mogul's lap with her arm around the neck.

It looked like the first day of auditions went smoothly despite the recent X Factor dramas that have kept fans riveted with constant changes in the judging panels both in the UK and Stateside.

In an interview recorded earlier this week on The Graham Norton Show in Britain, which airs on Friday, Scherzinger claimed that she only found out she would be replacing Cole on the panel of the U.S. show when she read it in the newspaper.


Co-workers: Scherzinger and Adbul flew to New York, from London and Los Angeles respectively, to begin working together side-by-side in the judges' hot seats


'I haven’t said this yet, but I think it’s official that I have been made a judge. It's an amazing opportunity,' she told Norton.

'I’m kind of finding out (what’s happening) along with everyone else. It’s kind of crazy to read about it in the newspaper first.'

As her new co-worker settled into her job, Abdul pledged her continual support for the woman she replaced on Twitter and promised fans that she would stay in touch with Cole after the pair 'forged a wonderful relationship.'


Paula Abdul posted this picture of herself and fellow X Factor U.S. judge Cheryl Cole on Twitter along with the message: 'Gotta tell you about Cheryl - 'The Fierce' is STRONG w/ this one! :) she's lovely! xoP'


Paula took to her Twitter page to praise Cheryl, who was unceremoniously fired from the U.S. TV talent show after failing to impress television executives.
She wrote: 'Cheryl is amazing. We have forged a wonderful friendship & have been & will continue to stay in touch.'
Paula then hinted that she knows what Cheryl has planned for the near future, adding: 'I'm excited for everyone to see and hear what she is about to do next.'
Cheryl and Paula worked together for just a week as the first X Factor USA auditions took place.
After Cheryl left the U.S. show, she was offered a place back on the panel of the British X Factor, but left it too long to decide and was replaced on that panel by N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos.


Heartfelt tweet: Abdul claimed her and Cole forged a 'wonderful friendship' during their brief time together working on the show and she pledged her loyalty to her short-lived side-kick on Twitter


Moving on: Abdul hints in a cryptic tweet that she may know what Cole's next career move is


Meanwhile, Simon Cowell spoke out earlier this week to apologise to Cheryl for the way the whole situation with the X Factor U.S. had been dealt with.

He said: 'A hundred per cent I have to take full responsibility, because I do have a lot of sway.

‘This has been a rough two weeks. The hardest thing to accept is that everyone has painted me as a monster because I embarrassed her. But the truth was I was protecting her.

‘I apologise that all this has become public and I understand the stress she is under, and I hate that. But we have all been under a lot of stress.

‘When things like this happen I look at the contestants on our shows, they must think this is crazy. All the attention is on us.

‘I am sorry this has caused so much anguish and embarrassment, but I stand by what I believe was the right intention. And I would say that to her face right now.’

Is that Justin Bieber? America's Got Talent judges do double take as pop star's female doppelgänger takes to the stage

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Who is that girl? Judges on America's Got Talent had to do a double take when contestant Dani Shay, who is a dead ringer for Justin Bieber, pictured right, took to the stage in Houston Texas


Judges on America's Got Talent had to do a double take when contestant Dani Shay took to the stage at the Houston, Texas auditions, last night.

The androgynous 22-year-old female performer was a complete dead ringer for 17-year-old pop sensation Justin Bieber.

With Bieber's former famous hair flip, Shay immediately had the crowd in a frenzy before she even opened her mouth.


Doppelgänger: With Bieber's former famous hair flip, Shay immediately had the crowd in a frenzy before she even opened her mouth


Introducing herself, the Bieber doppelgänger joked to the judges 'Justin Bieber looks like me,' as they discussed her extraordinary likeness to the teenage male star.

Shay performed a spoof of Bieber's hit song 'Baby', referring to her life as a lookalike.

The performance was met with laughs and cheers from the crowd.

'Dani you are truly amazing!!' exclaimed judge Howie Mandel.


Daring: High diver Darren Taylor, who goes by the nickname of Professor Splash, jumped from a balcony at the theatre in Houston, Texas, in front of a hushed live audience


'I think you are very talented young lady and I love the humour you brought to this. But I think you are talented in your own right,' said Piers Morgan.

All three judges then sent Shay to the next round.

Another contestant also stunned the judges when he belly flopped from a height of 26ft into a 12-inch deep paddling pool.


Take a deep breath: The diver is seen here preparing to belly flop from a height of 26ft into a 12-inch deep paddling pool

High diver Darren Taylor, who goes by the nickname of Professor Splash, jumped from a balcony at the theatre in Houston, Texas, in front of a hushed live audience.

The man who had already dislocated his neck twice and broken his heels five times, got a roaring applause from the audience after pulling off his stunt.

'That was one of the most incredible things I have seen in all my life. Are you ok?' Piers asked.


Wild: First cab off the rank in the Texas auditions was the The Rhinestone Ropers, a wild west act involving a death-defying combination of guns and knives

All three judges also sent him through to Las Vegas.

First cab off the rank in the Texas auditions was the The Rhinestone Ropers, a wild west act involving a death-defying combination of guns and knives.

Dan threw knives at his assistant Melody, while she span on a wheel, narrowly missing the cowboy clad brunette.

The risky performance drew cheers and a standing ovation from the crowd.


Eccentric: Piano player and singer Daniel Joseph Baker thought of himself as the next Lady Gaga, performing the eccentric singer's hit, Bad Romance


'How many partners have you gone too, ' joked Howie. 'You bring a whole array of entertainment I have never seen on America's Got Talent.'

'I love it because it is traditional old American entertainment.' said Sharon.
The duo also went through to the next round.

Next up was piano player and singer Daniel Joseph Baker, who thought of himself as the next Lady Gaga, performing the eccentric singer's hit, Bad Romance.

With characteristic flair and an incredible voice range, he impressed the judges, giving him another chance to make to impress in Sin City.

'That performance was just great fun... you have a great personality and I think I love you,' Sharon said.

'You have a lot of fierceness,' Howie said. 'But keeps your arm to your side,' referring to his nervous sweat.


Flexible: Twisting and twirling their way to Vegas was the Sandou Trio Russian Bar


'You are a strange one Daniel...you are going to polarise audiences, but you are not everybody cup of tea,' said Piers. 'But I quite liked it.'

Twisting and twirling their way to Vegas was the Sandou Trio Russian Bar.

Gymnast Cassie drew gasps from the audience with a dangerous series of backflips, twists and somersaults, all whilst landing and balancing on a raised bar.

'I can't wait to see what you have in your back pocket for later on.' Sharon said.



Adorable: Six-year-old Tanner, otherwise known as Lil T, booty-shaked his way to The Black Eyed Peas dance anthem Boom Boom Pow


'I could see this in Vegas and I think in terms of danger level,' said Piers. 'I think it was the most high-risk act that we have had on America's Got Talent.'

Adorable six-year-old Tanner, otherwise known as Lil T had the audience and the crowd melting before his performance, as he talked about his 'girlfriend' Abbie.

Booty-shaking his way to The Black Eyed Peas dance anthem Boom Boom Pow, the little one perfected moves like The Robot and The Worm, making his performance a sure-fire guarantee for a trip to Vegas.


Tweet, tweet: Over in Minneapolis, a bird act was first up with parrot Echo helping his handler get through to the next round


'I think you have amazing moves, for a boy of six doing that onstage,' said Piers.
'You are quite the cutest thing we have seen this year,' said Sharon.

Once again some scantily clad ladies got Piers Morgan temperature rising.

This time a troupe of cheerleader-esque dancers by the name of The Perfect Angels emerged in skimpy white bikinis to do the splits, much to the delight of the 45-year-old judge.

Following the performance Piers couldn't resist an opportunity to flirt.

'Ladies, how are you?' he asked with a sly grin. 'That was sexy, it was fun, I am going to say yes.'

Of course, the troupe were ushered through.


Tragedy into triumph: Tears welled up in the audiences eyes as Opera singer Lys Agnes took to the stage performing Ave Maria


Over in chilly Minneapolis, the entertainment didn't stop.

The auditions saw Piers turn up 18 hours late because of snow, leaving Howie and Sharon to judge the first few on their own.

Yet another bird act was first up, with parrot Echo helping his handler get through to the next round.

Tears welled up in audience members eyes as Lys Agnes took to the stage.

The female performer had lost her fiancé in a car accident, and following the tragedy she thought she could never sing again.


Scantily clad: Viva La Muerte, a midget stripper got through to the next round


But her rendition of Ave Maria proved her wrong as the operatic notes wowed both the judges and the audience, getting her through to the next round.

The Silhouettes added another dimension to the night, with their original and abstract performance.

The group of dancers aged nine to 18, danced behind a backlit screen appearing as silhouettes.

Sharon called the performance 'intoxicating' and Piers thought it was 'brilliant'.

Acts that weren't so lucky included an off-key R&B act Status B.L.A.K. impersonator Johnny Di Domenico, burlesque dancer Miss Cherries Jubalie and folk musician Walt Winston.
