Theater stars know what’s hot in entertainment, fashion and pop culture, and Broadway.com loves to tap in to the after-hours obsessions of our favorite stage actors. This week, we are getting television, music and iPhone app advice from Romeo and Juliet star and American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini, who plays Paris, the presumptuous would-be suitor of Juliet Capulet (Condola Rashad). This Broadway favorite opens up about taking his parenting tips from Bill Cosby, cracking up over the musical Altar Boyz and his favorite tropical getaway.
