We've been overwhelmed by the response to the draw for tickets to the ITV1 show "Everybody Dance Now" and Jimmy is thrilled that so many of you would like to support him! We plan to draw the winners of both the main show and the rehearsal show on Tuesday and notify everyone by telephone on Tuesday evening.
While he's in the UK Jimmy will also be taking part in the Channel 4 program "Come Dine With Me". This will be a celebrity special, where four celebrities will take turns to cook a meal and host the perfect dinner party for the other three. He's really looking forward to the challenge and has been trying out some yummy recipes on Michelle and the children! Jimmy is a great cook and so this should be a fun program.
We don't know when the show will air, but we will keep you updated.

We've got several exciting updates for you this week. First, we
have a couple of new tour dates added to the Osmonds' tour schedule.
The Osmond Brothers, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay - will be performing at
the St. Louis Republican Picnic in the Jefferson Barracks Veteran's
Memorial Amphitheater in St. Louis Missouri on September 21 from
7:15 to 8:30 pm. Admission is free.
Also, in December, Jimmy will be back in the UK and we are very
excited to announce that he will be appearing as Buttons in the UK
pantomine production of "Cinderella" at The Royal Derngate Theatre,
Northampton.
He will open on Friday December 12th 2008 and the show will run
until Sunday January 11th 2009.
Jimmy is thrilled to be appearing in his first ever panto and looks
forward to seeing many of you there!!!
Tickets are on sale NOW (from £14.00 to £22.00) and you can book by
calling the Box Office directly 01604 624811 or online here:
http://www.royalandderngate.co.uk/en/Home/WhatsOn/Cinderella
We are sure that this will be a very popular production and we
encourage you to book your tickets as soon as possible!
More song lyrics have been added to the discography pages on Osmondmania.com. We are currently at the halfway mark on getting
all of the lyrics posted. Just go to http://www.osmondmania.com and
click on "Song Index" - all of the songs are listed in alphabetical
order. The songs in bold are completed and we are working on
getting the rest up as fast as we can.
Store Updates:
For those of you who have ordered the "On Tour With The Osmonds"
book that Jeremy Hall has been putting together, we wanted you to
know that the new expected ship date is the end of September. The
books are currently in production and are being produced in Utah and
will be shipped from there.
How many of you remember the bubblegum cards that were available in
the 70's? You know, where you bought a package of gum and there
some trading cards included in the pack? In order to get the whole
set, you had to purchase the packs of gum as you never knew which
cards you would be getting?
Well, we've got a fun new thing we are doing the through the store
based on that same concept. As you know, Jimmy has been designing
pins for the past few years which range in price from $10.00 to
$16.00 if you are not a member of the Pin Trader club. We've put
together some pin grab bags which contain five of the current pins
and have priced the grab bag at $20.00. ($15.00 for Pin Traders) We
cannot guarantee which pins you will be getting in the grab bag, but
we can guarantee that you will receive five different pins per grab
bag.
We thought this would be a fun and inexpensive way for you to
collect all of the pins and still get that surprise when you open
the bag for the first time. This is also a great way to start
trading the pins with your friends, to give as gifts, or to have as
party favors at your next Osmond event!
That's it for now - Have a great week!
