"Traveling through space and time

Interstellar helix unwind
Don't forsake or the love will die
Don't forget your love, alright
On the spiral light, we fly
We will be one, we will be divine
All the spirits, they all intertwine
Don't forget that" - Good For The Soul, Madonna 

Remember where you're standing was once the goal, indeed.

Congratulations to Olivia Rodrigo on the success of her Daisy Chain Fields festival which gave 20 million to women's causes, Bravo!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Kirsten Dunst
as
Marie Antoinette

How "chill" are you? No matter how "chill" you are no one will ever be as "chill" as Kirsten Dunst between takes on the set of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.

After all it's hard out there playing a doomed historical figure.

Thus today let us all aspire to Hump Day & Chill like Kirsten. 

Let them eat cake!!!

Meanwhile In Beverly Hills...

Behold!
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Hello September! Let's kick off the month by taking a peek at what's happening in Beverly Hills shall we? We shall!!!

Look it's the season sixteen cast of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills celebrating Rachel Zoe's Birthday 🥳 

All are present and accounted for except for one Ms. Erika Jayne. Now before you go getting all bitchy and think there is some insidious reason for that, Erika is missing because she is currently touring with Kesha as an opening DJ, the more you know.

What's that you say? How do I feel about this season line-up? Well I'm glad you asked!

I am so glad the cast has gotten a shake up and has two new Housewives that are really going to bring it!!! 

Tracy Tutor is already coming in guns blazing with an existing feud with my least favorite Housewife Dorit Kemsley. This being stated I am mostly excited about Leah Remini joining the fold.

Leah is no wallflower, she doesn't do BS! I can't wait till she makes some of the other women fall in line!

That's all.

"Billy Idol Should Be Dead"

BILLY IDOL SHOULD BE DEAD is an intimate, unflinching look at the life and career of Billy Idol, tracing the punk icon’s journey from his early days with Generation X through his rise as a global solo star, while exploring the triumphs, excesses, near-death experiences, and remarkable survival story behind one of rock & roll’s most recognizable and enduring figures. 

  

Directed by Jonas Åkerlund (Lords of Chaos, Spun), the documentary features interviews with Idol alongside friends, collaborators and fellow artists including Steve Stevens, Miley Cyrus, Billie Joe Armstrong, Duff McKagan, Steve Jones, Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers, Patrick Stump, and Perri Lister, among others. The film is the subject of extensive critical acclaim from The New York Times, CBS’s “This Morning,” NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” the Los Angeles Times, and many more.  

  

The physical media release arrives at an especially active moment in Idol’s career. In addition to his 2026 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Billy Idol’s first full-length album of new music in over a decade, “Dream Into It,” is currently available from Dark Horse Records. The album reached #7 on the U.S. Top Albums Chart and #4 on the U.S. Current Rock Album Chart, #9 on the U.K. Official Album Sales Chart, and #2 on the German Top 100 Album Chart. Idol is currently on his “It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again!” tour, which has sold out arenas across the U.S. and continues through the fall. 

  

BILLY IDOL SHOULD BE DEAD made its festival debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in summer 2025, followed by an award-qualifying run in fall 2025 and a limited U.S. theatrical release in the first quarter of 2026. U.S. theatrical rights to the film were handled by Evan Saxon Productions. 

  

The deal for the physical media release was negotiated on behalf of Live Nation Studios and Giant Pictures by Bill Sondheim, President and CEO of Greenfield Media, LLC, and by Director of Acquisitions Eric D. Wilkinson on behalf of MVD Entertainment Group. 

  

MVD Director of Acquisitions Eric D. Wilkinson is excited to bring the film to Blu-ray and DVD. “Billy Idol is one of those rare artists whose music, image and attitude have remained instantly recognizable across generations, and Jonas Åkerlund has made a film that goes far beyond the iconography to tell the story of the person behind it. With Billy receiving his long-overdue induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, the timing couldn’t be better to give fans the opportunity to own this documentary on physical media.” 

  

MVD Entertainment Group has scheduled BILLY IDOL SHOULD BE DEAD for release on Blu-ray and DVD on November 3, 2026. The Blu-ray (MVD21395BR / UPC 760137213956) carries a suggested retail price of $29.95, while the DVD (MVD21392D / UPC 760137213925) carries a suggested retail price of $19.95. 

Getting Your Flowers

Ann-Margret

You've heard people use the phrase they are "giving someone their flowers"  or they are happy that another individual is "receiving their flowers?" Correct???

In case you are not familiar here is the context regarding said phrase: 

"People use the phrase on social media, in the workplace, and in everyday conversation to celebrate a living person's talent, progress, or lasting impact."

Well today you are receiving "Flowers" metaphorically via myself and the legendary Ann-Margret.

"Yes" that is her and some flowers just for you and the lasting impact every one of you makes in your daily life. 

A round of applause for everyone!

You're welcome.
