Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Caroline Sommers and Freddie Cheng

Today's theme entertained by transforming STAR names into amusing commands, such as "Hey, patriarch of 1960s television - shut up!" (JEDCLAMPIT), or in the case of a famed singer/song writer, an exclamation  (LYLELOVEIT). Other examples included an exhortation aimed at an acclaimed Australian actress ordered to prepare broccoli (CATEBLANCHIT) and a gazillionaire told to shine the car (WARRENBUFFIT) - as if. :)

25D: OPERA

There were some nice clues that attempted a soupcon of Sean Connery like "Office subs" for TEMPS and "It runs hot" for LAVA. In the Nicole Kidman category, I enjoyed "Have trouble with one's balance?" (OWE) and "European heavy weight?" (KILO) - heh. "Add fuel to" (STOKE) was particularly Leonardo DiCaptrio. And one C/AP that I thought was particularly Charlize Theron: "Brought nine possible outfits for a one-night stay, e.g." (OVERPACKED) - we've all been there.
