The song was first released in France as a single where it was wildly successful. The song features Kitt singing in a low, seductive-sounding voice. Included in the song are some sounds that have come to be associated with Kitt, including a purring sound similar to one she made while portraying Catwoman on the 1960s TV series Batman.

Where Is My Man?
(Writers: Bruce Vilanch, Jacques Morali, Fred Zarr)

I don’t wanna be alone – where is my baby
I don’t wanna be alone – where is my man
I spend hours by the phone – where is my baby
I chew my fingers to the bone – where is my man
I need a man who can take me then tount me and make me
Buy the things that I so richly deseerrve.
A man who knows what I require
the things that I desire
Is there anyone out there who has the neerrve
I spend hours by the phone – where is my baby
I chew my fingers to the bone – where is my man

Where is my baby? He can’t be far.
Look for an Ascot
a big cigar
tell him to find me
Send his car to this address
I have to stress I need him now.

I don’t wanna be alone – where is my baby
I don’t wanna be alone – where is my man
The kind of man that I adore’s the kind of man that gives me more
Of all the better things in life that aren’t free.
Such things as summer by the sea
the Hamptons
Malibu
Capri.

The kind of man
Who comes alive
When he comes near Rodeo Drive
Is the kind of man
Who winds my heart
With style and class.

You know I’ve tried
Some other men
The kind with zeros
Less than ten
But everytime I grab
The ring it’s always brass.

I don’t wanna be alone –
Where is my baby
I don’t wanna be alone
Where is my baby……..

New York Times bestselling author Jackie Collins, award winning photographer of the stars Michael Childers, and comedy writer Bruce Vilanch (pictured left) are joining forces to co-host “Hollywood Dine and Dish: The Tinseltown Stories You Haven’t Heard,” on Nov. 15.

This evening benefits the AIDS Assistance Program (AAP) in Palm Springs, and will include hors d’oeuvres, drinks and dinner courtesy of Brad and Lynne Toles of Savoury’s Catering. The event will take place in Rancho Mirage at the Waterford estate of Bob Deville and Bob Bennion, co-owners of Windermere Real Estate Southern California.

Proceeds from each ticket purchased will go directly to AAP, according to Executive Director Mark Anton.

Tickets are available for $1,000 per person or $1,500 per couple. The cost is tax deductible. Remaining seats may also be purchased during the live auction at the “Evening Under the Stars” gala featuring Cyndi Lauper on May 11. To attend the event, call Anton at (760) 325-8481.

Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the late director Louis Malle and dubbed “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair magazine. With more than 500 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries, Collins is one of the world’s top-selling novelists.

Childers is one of the entertainment industry’s most renowned and highly respected portrait, fashion and art photographers who began his career in the 1960s and continues to influence the world of art photography today. He has been instrumental in capturing the beauty and magnetism of such explosive young stars as Mel Gibson, Demi Moore, Richard Gere, John Travolta, Sissy Spacek and Michelle Pfeiffer, Rock Hudson, Natalie Wood, and Elton John.

Vilanch is a two-faced fella: Bearded, he is one of the most sought-after comedy writers in Hollywood, winner of a bunch of Emmys, and noted as the “Hollywood Square” just to the left of Whoopi Goldberg. Shaved, he spent two years as Edna Turnblad, Baltimore housewife and superstar, on tour and on Broadway, in the smash musical adaptation of the John Waters film, Hairspray.

In addition to Hairspray, he has appeared in Ice Pirates, Mahogany, and The Morning After. A frequent guest on talk shows, Vilanch won his Emmys for co-writing back-to-back Oscar shows with Billy Crystal. He was also nominated for an Emmy as a lyricist on Eartha Kitt’s gold-selling album, “Where Is My Man”.

Comedian, Broadway star, and writer for the stars Bruce Vilanch has been all over New York City this week, hosting the NYC Pride rally in Central Park and performing at Sunday night’s 20th annual edition of Broadway Bares. This Friday he’ll be reading at Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words, the hilarious series in which stars read verbatim from the often tragically funny self-tomes of fellow big shots. Bruce called me yesterday and responded to a series of questions provided courtesy of some of my Facebook followers.

Do you consider yourself a bear or a bear icon? BV: “Well, I was asked to be on the cover of Bear Monthly! Finally I know what it’s like to be objectified! But I’m not my own type. I’d have to be talked into doing me.”

What do you think of the shout-out LCD Soundsystem gave you on their single “Pow Pow”? They kind of use you to attack Michael Musto. BV: “I was stunned, amazed, flattered and I went right out and bought the CD.”

Who’s the biggest dick you ever had to work with? BV: “Definitely Jeff Stryker. He’s short, but not when he’s lying down.”

You co-wrote Eartha Kitt‘s disco classic “Where Is My Man?” Do you still get residuals for that? BV: “I do! And now the checks come in Euros! I’ve never performed the song, though, because Eartha would have killed me. Maybe now that she’s dead….”

When are you going to grow back your famous beard? (Which was shaved off to perform in drag as Enda Turnblad in “Hairspray.”) BV: “I’ll grow it back when somebody pays me to. But I’d love to do a revival of the show.”

Which celebrity do you most regret pissing off? BV: “Barbra Streisand. I talked about her legendary cheapness in my book Get Bruce and she issued a statement denouncing me.”

Which celebrity have you worked with the longest? BV: “Bette Midler, for 40 years. Which is difficult because she’s only 32.”

What’s your favorite Paul Lynde story? BV: “I don’t really have a favorite one. Most of the good ones I can’t repeat. And involve alcohol.”

I’d love to see you and Harvey Fierstein write a book or play together. Would you work with him? BV: “Of course. But Harvey hasn’t needed my help yet.”

You were in an episode of “Bosom Buddies.” Did you get to see Tom Hanks naked? BV: “I ate a hot dog in that episode. But it wasn’t Tom’s.”

How many T-shirts are in your famous collection? BV: “About 3000. I keep them in the Shady Pines Home For Aged T-Shirts.”

What would do you do about the Gulf oil spill? BV: “I think we should use whatever Antonio Banderas uses to control all that oil on his hair.”

Who was the inspiration for your character in Diana Ross‘ “Mahogony”? BV: “Kay Thompson.”

What do you think about Elton John performing at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding? BV: “Elton goes where the money is, which is why he has so much of it. I think he and Rush found common ground somewhere. Like at the buffet table.”

What the heck is up with your hair? BV: “My hair is real. It’s not a wig. It’s one of my defining features. Like my 12″ dick.”

Are you available? BV: “Honey, I’m available with a capital “A.” Like a scarlet letter.”

Is Whoopi Goldberg a lesbian? BV: “Oh, she’s been to the carnival. But there’s a long line of white men who can attest otherwise.”

Who are you reading at “Celebrity Autobiography”? BV: “I’m reading Star Jones. And maybe Beyonce. Whoopi likes to say I’m a closet negress.”

Celebrity Autobiography takes place on Friday at the Triad Theater on the Upper West Side. Get tickets here. Joining Bruce Vilanch at the show:

Bob Balaban, Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiam), Will Forte (Saturday Night Live), Cheyenne Jackson, Emmy Award winner Kristen Johnston, Richard Kind, Carson Kressley, Justin Long, Tony Winner Andrea Martin, Tony Roberts, Paul Rudd, Seth Rudetsky, David Schwimmer, Claudia Shear, Sherri Shepherd (The View), Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), Bruce Vilanch, Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live), Tony winner BD Wong, Tony winner Karen Ziemba, Alan Zweibel, Dayle Reyfel, Eugene Pack….and more to come!

You can also catch Bruce all this month on Showtime’s Gay & Lesbian Comedy Slam.
