1st off, I want to pay notice to Michelle's come back into the world of film. Welcome back Ms Zinone, you were greatly missed.
Michelle started out the summer with the release of Hairspray! I was very fortunate to attend the premiere and it was amazing. The Director announced her and introduced her as the "star of Grease 2!" It was fantastic!
Then in August, she appeared on Inside the Actor's Studio and our very own Pat Birch stopped by to say hello. This was shown on the Bravo Network, hopefully they will rerun the special one day. As well, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! All I have to say is its about darn time! Later August, Michelle's 2nd film of 2007, Stardust was released to great reviews!
November is almost upon us and her 3rd film of the year, I Can Never Be Your Woman is set to be released very soon. Here's to her continued success!

His career spanned from the 50's when he wrote songs for Elvis, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers. In his Repertoire was also Cool Rider and Reproduction for our movie, Grease 2. He surely will be missed. Click here for his Obituary.

Updates for June 19th, 2006
Well today from 5:30 am until 5:30 pm, I spent my time doing updates for everyone as promised. To begin with, I did alot of behind the scenes coding to make this site as web accessible and functional as possible. But the main thing I did today was recreate, from scratch, the entire Photoshoots Gallery . I had been getting emails from a few fans saying that the section was not loading for them. So I wiped the slate clean and started over. I started so far over, I spent hours today enhancing every single photo, and even added in a few new shots as well. So please take a moment to visit and enjoy your stay!
We will keep you updated on Michelle's star schedule when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announces its presentation schedule.
Happy Birthday Grease 2!
