Macho Man - Burt Reynolds

Deliverance
Burt Reynolds
Burt Reynolds passed away yesterday at the age of 82. He was an actor, a movie star and manly perfection. Which he proved time and time again in the roles he played.

Nobody did it better than Burt. He first came to my youthful attention for the infamous film Deliverance which I have to revisit since I viewed it when I was way too young to fully comprehend it.

I was however hooked on Burt a few of my favorite Reynolds films, beside Deliverance? Starting Over, Sharky's Machine, Boogie Nights, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas to name a few...

Oddly enough I never saw any of the Smokey and the Bandit movies. For some reason they never appealed to me. 

But the thing that will always stick with me most about Burt was his iconic nude centerfold for Cosmopolitan. Wow! Seeing that as a young impressionable gay man was quite stunning. Words can't describe how that shaped my world, but trust me, it did.

R.I.P. stud.

Miley Cyrus: Don't Step On Her Blue Suede Shoes

Mley Cyrus Is An Elvis Fan
Miley Cyrus channeled the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley when appeared in an all white outfit as the hostess with the most cake at the opening of W Magazine's Shooting Stars exhibit.

"I was thinking this was very Elvis Presley," Cyrus stated "I thought it felt right because it was just his 80th birthday."
The bash took place at the Wilshire May Co. Building the future home of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Museum.
Large posters of celebrity portraits from the pages of W hung from the walls of the all black room.

Even though she did not wear any Blue Suede Shoes, Miley's tribute to Elvis was dead on.

The Shooting Stars exhibit, presented by Hugo Boss and supported by The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, runs through Feb. 22.
