Xander, as his fans affectionately call him, made the following announcement via Twitter on January 12th.
“[Announcement]
Good afternoon everybody. A lot of people were curious about my non-updated schedule and official website so I think I should update everyone.
I have officially ended my contract with my management company MPlus Entertainment. Two years in NHmedia and another two in MPlus have been a great time for me, and now I’m already excited about what is ahead of me. I believe that it is important to find a good management company that is suitable for me; not hoping to encounter unfortunate issues like what most K-pop fellows are facing nowadays. Therefore, temporarily I have decided not to join any management company yet.
For any business matter, please contact my personal manager at xandershowbiz@gmail.com
(Please do not send fan-mails here.)
I will update you guys for any further news so please be patient and sorry for any inconveniences.
Wish me all the best and have a nice day! God bless!”
BTSCelebs wishes him all the best in the future.

Lucy, you’ve got some xplaining to do!
“I Love Lucy” Live on Stage returned to the Broadway Playhouse in Chicago,IL on December 29th to bring heartwarming charm back to the city. I attended the show on Thursday, January 10th.
The evening started with the Crystal Plumbs (Tones) singers ushering in the show with their live commercial. This small group of men and women would randomly return throughout the play to bring 1950s commercials to life and give the actors a chance for quick changes. One lively male host kept everyone on their toes with his friendly interaction with the audience. His interaction included a special giveaway around midway through the play.
The stars of the show, Lucy Ricardo (Sirena Irwin) and Ricky Ricardo (Bill Mendieta) delighted audiences with their impressive recreation of the episodes “The Benefit” (Season 1/Jan. 1952) and “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (Season 3/ Dec.1953). Ethel and Fred Mertz (Joanna Daniels and Curtis Pettyjohn) went along for the ride in their uncanny similarity to the original talents.

The 100 minute show was hilarious from beginning to the end. Lucy sang off key for “The Benefit” and had to do a comedy skit with Ricky for Ethel’s Club Benefit show. She turned their segment upside down (as only Lucy can) with a comedic twist.

In “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined”, the jitterbug is all the rage. Ricky and Lucy get their eyes checked, but only Lucy gets the medical treatment to ruin her audition. The fun continues to the very end of this modern day classic.
“I Love Lucy” Live on Stage is clean rated G fun that is for the entire family. Adults will love to reminiscence about their favorite sitcom from yesteryear, while children will be excited to what’s next. There is enough music in the play to classify it as a musical, yet enough dialogue that doesn’t let the music get mundane.
My biggest complaints about “I Love Lucy” Live are it is too short and they should have brought my favorite European episodes from season 5 to the stage.

You can catch “I Love Lucy” Live on Stage every Wednesday through Friday and on Weekends through March 31st, 2013. It is currently playing at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place in Chicago,IL.
