News: Major Misinformation

Normally we don’t publish misinformation, but Jason caught this and it was just too funny. It’s safe to skip it if’n you’re short on time…

NME [which, at least today, seems to stand for “Not Much Examination”] seriously need to do their homework. Or learn to read other news outlets’ articles more more carefully before they attempt to base an article on them.

Bad journalist, no cookie!

Yes, Tori did mention in the recent Me-me-me.tv interview from May 3rd that she thinks she’s writing a musical (which several online outlets picked up and ran as “She’s gonna do Broadway!” blurbs). She said nothing whatsoever about Broadway. Or the West End. And of course the “23 songs and extras” was in reference to American Doll Posse (she got off-track for a couple of minutes, talking about the “I’d like to do a musical” thing, you know how she is). And “Smokin’ Joe” is NOT a revealed song title from the currently non-existent musical. (It’s not a song from ADP, either. It was simply misheard by the Me-me-me.tv interviewer. Tori said “Smokey Joe.”)

So if you start seeing even more exaggerated stories start to pop up claiming that Tori’s writing the next Lion King or Mamma Mia, don’t be surprised. The world of journalism can be kind of like playing Telephone some days. When and if Tori writes a musical, you’ll know about it.
