Happy Friday! Some news items I thought worth your time:
• Broadway News: International pop star P!NK (above) will host the 79th annual Tony Awards on June 7, airing on CBS. While she has not performed in a Broadway production, her music is featured in the jukebox musicals “& Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!”
The oh-so-talented Shoshana Bean dropped by The Kelly Clarkson Show last week to promote her new album Only Smoke, and her new Broadway show, The Lost Boys.
The fabulous P!nk was filling in for Kelly, which provided the win/win opportunity for the two to duet together on “Let Me Believe” from Shoshana’s new collection.

Members of Sink The Pink perform to “Walk Me Home” by P!nk
The indomitable P!nk chose the track “Walk Me Home” as the lead single for her new album, Hurts 2B Human, which dropped last week.
She initially released a music video for the single that featured her twirling through deserted nighttime streets with a chorus of dancing shadows.
But on Monday, the 39-year-old Grammy Award winner made it clear she wasn’t done exploring the song’s storytelling potential.
In a completely different take, P!nk collaborated with queer collective Sink The Pink from the UK on a lip-sync competition-themed video.
On their official website, Sink The Pink describes themselves as “ a collective of queens, club kids, pop superstars, creative juggernauts, flamboyant dancers and acclaimed designers.”
At the beginning of the new video, one drag queen walks out onstage to lip sync the song “Walk Me Home” for a pair of judges in a night club.
But before she can finish, she’s interrupted by another member of the collective.
As each of five queens takes to the stage – all wearing red dresses, blond wigs and red boots – they keep upping the stakes for the biggest and best performance they can deliver.
P!nk took to Twitter to share the video announcing, “This is the BEST lip sync battle I’ve ever seen – feast your eyes!”
