Happy birthday, Anika Noni Rose! Although born under the measured sign of Virgo, faith-filled Jupiter plays a large role in your life.

‘Two and a Half Men’ star Jon Cryer — the man Charlie Sheen called a ‘toad’ — has a new stage role. And the job will be over long before the cast ever needs to head back to work on the hit CBS sitcom!

Jon Cryer is joining the big-name cast in a new musical production that will also feature Christina Hendricks, Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert, Patti LuPone, Anika Noni Rose and Martha Plimpton!

In a bit of a role-reversal from his straight-man part opposite certified wildman Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, this time Jon gets to play the substance-abusing part! For this New York Philharmonic production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Company, he will portray the pot-smoking friend of the main character, played by Neil.

The semi-staged production is to run only from April 7 to 9. So Jon will have plenty of time to get ready if Two and a Half Men does make back on the air at CBS, as we reported it just might.

OK, so you may not have walked away with an Academy Award, Anika. But look on the bright side: you DID manage to avoid time in the slammer!

How does she do it? Anika Noni Rose makes everything look effortless. She managed to film a ‘getting ready for the Oscars video’, get herself all done up, nearly got arrested and STILL walked away with a trophy on March 7. Remarkable!
 
Oscar Sunday wasn’t all glitz and glamour for the Princess and the Frog star. “We almost got thrown in jail filming!” the 37-year-old actress says in the video she shot for Wonderwall. “But I did leave with an Oscar!”

Come again? We thought that particular prize went to Crazy Heart’s “The Weary Kind” instead of Frog’s two selections, “Almost There” and “Down in New Orleans.”
 
Smiling, Anika holds up a chocolate statue – which to us sounds just as good as the real deal. At least you can eat this particular prize!

Anika Noni Rose is the voice behind the Oscar-nominated song “Almost There” from The Princess and the Frog, and we chatted with her about the big award March 5 at QVC Red Carpet Style at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. We asked which song she’d rather see win, “Almost There” or the Randy Newman-penned “Down in New Orleans” and she didn’t have to think twice for her answer: “MINE!”

“I would love for ‘Almost There’ to win,” she told us. “It’s the second time for me that it’s been nominated and it’s an amazing feeling! It’s definently quite an honor and it thrills me to no end. The other song is fantastic. Randy Newman did a great job on the score, but yeah… mine.”

And what will she be wearing on the red carpet this Sunday? “I will be showing off a woman named Kimmie who a lot of people don’t know about, but I’m very excited about,” she told us exclusively.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Anika’s been involved with an Oscar-nominated movie. She starred alongside Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls, but told us that being nominated for The Princess and the Frog is a totally different experience.

“This is much more my very own thing,” she said. “Dreamgirls was a great ensemble piece and we worked on it all together and it was amazing doing that, but this is very personal to me, very singular in that way. It’s also something I’vee wanted to do my whole life, voice for an animation. There is nothing else I can think of that I’ve wanted to do my entire life, so its special that people are saying, ‘Hey we see this and we think it’s great!’”
