Jan Fonda, Vibrator Saleswoman

Feels So Good Inside
Jane Fonda

On the upcoming season of Grace and Frankie Jane Fonda gave Ellen the 411 that her character becomes a vibrator saleswoman. Yes, you read that correctly, call it fitness for the over seventy set?

On the plus side the directions are in large print so they are easily legible. Jane cried uncle and admitted to trying out all different kinds of Joy Toys for season three research. 

You go Jane Fonda! I hope to look and feel as good as you do at 78!

On that note I leave this for you on the floor as it were. 

T.G.I.F! I hereby decree this, use it or lose it Friday! 

Your mission this weekend, should you have the balls to accept it is to Bend It Like Fonda.

Cheers!

Mannequin Madness!

Taylor Swift, Todrick Hall & Friends

How was everyone's Black Friday? If you descended into madness and went shopping I hope you got what you wanted and your body parts are still intact. If you are not insane, like me, you stayed home and ate some more, woot!

Something that has been a thing of late is the Mannequin Challenge. I have seen so many videos posted on Facebook & Instagram of friends & family taking it over the Thanksgiving Holiday, good times!

Well you just know Taylor Swift along with her friends and family would not be left out, and of course try to one up everyone else by striking a pose on the beach in the chill of fall. It was all captured for her Instagram page, naturally.

She along with Todrick Hall who is starring in Kinky Boots on Broadway took on Turkey Day and the cold to pose like a mannequin below. Hey standing still on a cold deserted beach sounds like a saner idea than going to an overcrowded mall with shoppers clawing for bargains...

"So Fetch" Lindsay Lohan & Jonathan Bennett

Discussing Math Equations?
Lindsay Lohan & Jonathan Bennett

Everyone loves the movie Mean Girls, right? I know I personally do. Well yesterday this happened Lindsay Lohan hooked-up with her co-star from it Jonathan Bennett, via a FaceTime conversation, Regina George must be so jealous that she went out and boinked Shane Owen in the projection booth upon hearing the news. 

"Yes" Aaron Samuels and Cady Heron are reunited and it feels so grool!

The screen shot is courtesy of Lindsay and her Instagram page. Wonder what these two were talking about? It couldn't have anything to do with October 3rd, because the exchange took place on October the 6th. Seriously you two get it together! 

Whatever they spoke about it's nice to know the two co-stars still keep in touch. It gives us a nice warm fuzzy feeling like the color pink on Wednesdays.

As Gretchen Wieners would say "T.G.I.F! hope your weekend is so fetch!"

Kyle Richards & Lisa Vanderpump

In case any of you out there are having some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills yearning, like me, until the season six December 1st premiere on Bravo. Never fear Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards are here!

The two were red as Rosea Wine while attending a party in  Puerto Vallarta, Mexico together. Guess they really have kissed in make-up.

The photo is courtesy of Ms. Richard's Instagram, with no clever caption to accompany it. C'mon Kyle with your sass I expected more from you!

Being that it is Friday and that the weekend is here I thought this was a groovy way to get the party started!

T.G.I.F!

Eat Me! I'm A Lesbian Taco!

My Taco Brings All The Girls To The Yard
Salma Hayek 

Ever eat a lesbian taco? Perhaps you have and you didn't even know it. The question is, what kind of meat does such a taco come with...beef, chicken or perhaps fish? 

Well find out tomorrow, Friday August 12th when the raunchy comedy Sausage Party opens - The story of food items who think that being bought by humans will lead them to a world of paradise, not devoured. 

In it Salma Hayek plays a woman loving other women taco named Teresa who has the hot sauce for a hot dog bun played by Kristin Wiig.

Making Out With "The Joker" Is Nasty

Whose Lipstick Is Best?
Jared Leto & Margot Robbie

One would think getting up close and personal with Jared Leto would be all kinds of sexy, right?

Well apparently it's nasty, and not in the fun way, when he is made-up to portray The Joker in Suicide Squad. 

Co-Star Margot Robbie who plays Harley Quinn his love interest and partner in crime explains that there were 10 minute make-up touch ups in between takes of the kissing scenes. Now I am not sure how many of you are familiar with the technical end of how takes work, but that is a massive effort for one shot, wow!

But, she had no problem putting the moves on Leto in his scary ass Joker get up. Once you get over the initial shock she explained it becomes normal.

I bet! Suicide Squad opens Friday. Check out the trailer below...

Money Monster: Cannes, Cannes, Cannes

l-r Amal, George, Julia & Jodie
in Cannes

In case you have been distracted by other things the 2016 Cannes Film Festival has been happening and a movie with the title Money Monster played it and opened this past Friday.

No,I have yet to see it. Yes, it is on my list of films to do. Hey it stars George Clooney & Julia Roberts with Jodie Foster at the helm. Yeah, that puts it in "must see" territory for me.

So, I said to myself: Let's kick off the post Friday the 13th weekend with a really hot image of the trio and Clooney's catch of a wife Amal to start Monday the 16th off on a too cool note.

According to my favorite film buff Erik Rimmer: 

"Money Monster was a great film. I loved it. Tight direction and very suspenseful . Julia Roberts and George Clooney were fantastic." 

Bask, it's Monday. Enjoy your week!!!

"It's just another manic Monday, I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday, My I don't have to runday" - The Bangles Written by Prince

Wow! What a week it has been all I can think of is Prince, Prince, Prince. I have always loved the Purple One for his art, humanity and balls.

The reality of the impact he had on my life really set in after a few days. Hearing my awesome spin instructor Michelle Siegel play his songs while I toiled away on the stationary bike brought me to how he really influenced my life and person.

This quote from the Internet nails my sentiments perfectly:

"Thinking about how we mourn artists we've never met. We don't cry because we knew them, we cry because they helped us know ourselves"

Me & James Durbin
@ Universal City Walk

I really had to put this out there as Prince meant a lot to me and is a big part of who I am. Things to come this week? Look for my chat Wednesday with Margaret Cho about her CD that drops this Friday, April 29th American Myth.
Also I am attending my buddy James Durbin's free concert at Universal City Walk this Friday coincidentally the 29th as well. So you know I will have some killer exclusive pics.
Have a terrific week!

Wise beyond her years singer has released her third music video for songs from her latest album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz on MTV Friday night, BB Talk shows Miley posing and acting as a big baby while cursing and dishing about her different lovers, which is honestly, brilliant! 

The quote at the title of this post is from the song, paraphrased oh so slightly for space considerations. Miley Cyrus is one of the most honest artists of a generation.

"Hello" I Win!

Adele: Watch Your Back Taylor Swift!

Yes, you heard correctly, our Lady Of Adele kicked Taylor Swift's skinny white girl booty! Her video for her single Hello which made it's debut Friday and has earned her, what else? Rave Reviews and got the most views of any video in a 24 hour period. Thus dethroning Swift's previous title holder Bad Blood.


Total Views in a 24 hour period:

Bad Blood: 20.1 million

Hello: 27.7 million


Wow! I must admit I am somewhat biased when it comes to this, because I honestly have never watched the video for Bad Blood, no, really, I haven't. However I did pounce on Adele singing Hello  and watched it the minute it surfaced. 

Nothing against Taylor she simply isn't my thing, Adele on the other hand...well I'm pretty sure you figured out what team I am on at this point.

Hope there is no Bad Blood over this, wait, I take that back. In the spirit (pun intended) of the season bring it!

Four more days 'till Halloween, Silver Shamrock....

"It's Not The Getting Ready, It's The Clean Up"
Lady Gaga & Matt Bomer

I don't know about you, but after the Wednesday premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel my appetite for all things bloody has spiked.

Vampire type things really hit me where I live as I always wanted to be one when I was a young lad. Yep, it's true!

And nothing beats an orgy that ends in blood lust I always say. That's one of those reasons vampires will always be cooler than us mere mortals.

So I am leaving you with the image of Lady Gaga and Matt Bomer with their blood soaked victims post orgasm for the weekend.

Yes, Gaga and Bomer paid tribute to the the great vampire film The Hunger, by channeling their inner Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie, and I loved it!

I can't wait for next week's episode...bring it, I want more!

People were doing double takes this past Friday, April 17th, when Lady Gaga dined with Lisa Vanderpump and the Real Housewives restaurant PUMP in West Hollywood, CA -

Gaga's Mom & manager also joined them.  Fans of Gaga and her music, which apparently Lisa is, will recall that Vanderpump and some of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars appeared in the video for Lady Gaga's song "G.U.Y." from her Art Pop album.

Here is what Lisa V. Tweeted about the evening:

"Cosy dinner @ladygaga ...At PUMP ...woman after my own heart #lgbt #dogcrazy."

Wouldn't you want to be a fly on the wall at that table?

Mama Maria Approves of Miley & Patrick

Too Much Cuteness!

It's Friday the 13th, T.G.I.F. and all that jazz. Love is in the air it seems that Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger are getting very serious. 

Patrick's sister Katherine stated to Extra: "I think they're adorable," so do I Katherine "If my brother's happy, I'm happy and that's all that matters to me. You just want your sibling to be happy, if they're with someone who makes them happy and in a happy healthy relationship then I'm happy."

Most importantly Mama Maria Shriver, a woman who I respect for many reasons really thinks Ms. Cyrus is a terrific girl and approves of the deepening bond between Miley and her son. 

Now THAT is a seal of approval! You go you two!

Fast Forward: Cherie Currie & Kim Fowley

Cherie Currie

“What a betrayal!! I imagined Kim and this guy back at the Starwood laughing at the fact that I was on my period, right before Kim sold me off like some kind of low-rent Hollywood pimp. It was embarrassing, and more than anything in the world I wanted to just go home… I realized that this whole thing was a setup by Kim, and I cursed myself for being too meek to stop it.” - Cherie Currie "Neon Angel" 

Fast Froward to 2014, the now. Cherie posted this on her Facebook page a few weeks ago:

“Life is ironic. Kim Fowley was moved into my home a week ago Friday. I have been a 24/7 caregiver for him. Funny, I have not been a fan of this man for decades but time is the great equalizer. It has been an honor to be there for him. He is ill so please send prayers to him. He is as brilliant now as he has ever been. Caring for him keeps me from FB. Know I love you all and please send positive thoughts his way.”

Life is an experience that throws us many curve balls. The important thing is to keep evolving and most of all forgiving..

Bend It Like Paquin

Sookie Stackhouse Is No More

This item is more muse than news, hey it's Friday time for some fun! That being stated I felt inspired creatively when I came across this image of one of my favorite actresses, Anna Paquin with purple hair.

Immediately I started thinking of all things cool and purple: The Prince Movie Purple Rain, Flying Purple People Eaters, Ursula The Sea Witch, Tinky Winky and last but not least, Barney...

And now Anna Paquin is on that list. It also made me wish when I had hair and was bleaching it platinum blonde that I had tried purple hair too while I was at it.

What an awesome send off to the final season of True Blood and her character Sookie Stackhouse!

Anna took to her Twitter about her color with this statement:

"@Auracolorist just fulfilled my teen dream of being a mermaid. @_smoyer whatcha think?"

Awesome Anna glad you get to live out your mermaid fantasy, word of caution watch out for Ursula!
