Why she might be annoying:

    Her birth name comes from her stepfather.
    Her entire family was into sports — except for her.
    She wore out her karaoke machine on Liza Minnelli and Whitney Houston.
    You’ll have a better chance of getting into her approved fansite than in her own website (hint: the former uses a hyphen).
    She was slated to be a player in the very short-lived Cirque du Soleil show Banana Shpeel, but her part was quickly cut.
    Naturally, there would be a role she felt unfit for — a production of Grease where the actress who was to play Sandy got sick three days before the show!

Why she might not be annoying:

    Despite her distaste for the actual races, she did take a shine to the outfits worn at track meets — some of which were coached by her mother.
    Her father owned his own small business.
    She graduated high school and college, each in three years time (meaning she was a 16-year-old college student).
    She worked as a go-go girl in the Lower East Side, via Lady Starlight — in the same club scene in which Lady Gaga had her genesis.
    Her debut on the cabaret circuit, in 2008, featured what would become her signature show — Lost in the Stars.
    She made her directorial debut for a fellow Hair alumnus’ solo concert debut.
