Got Milk?

Angelina Jolie

I have always had a fascination with the "Got Milk?" ads. As a non milk drinker (ugh!) this hard sell campaign featured celebrities at their most silly.

Can you imagine how over the moon I was that I came across this doozy with Angelina Jolie promoting Tomb Raider?! I love surfing the WWW because of the random things that I find while researching something else, it's awesome!

Thus with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil coming at ya October 18th I couldn't resist running this gem that is downright, well, goofy AF. 

Honestly though it does not look like Jolie posed for an actual "Got Milk?" ad. It does look like the studio took a still of her as Lara Croft and submitted it to the campaign to give the movie a PR boost.

Hmmmmmmm....I wonder if Disney will follow suit and we will see Jolie as Maleficent with a milk moustache? Now that's entertainment!

Halloween Kills

Revenge of the Nerd
Anthony Michael Hall

You knew it was inevitable after Halloween 2018 made $159,342,015 million at the domestic BO on a $10 million budget, coming at ya October 16, 2020 the f/u Halloween Kills...Yikes!

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a HUGE fan of the original Halloween and of the 2018 reboot. So what could make the news of this sequel even better? Well I was also a fan of John Hughes films as well and guess what? Perennial Hughes nerd Anthony Michael Hall is joining the cast as, wait for it...Tommy Doyle. 

For the uninitiated Tommy Doyle is the boy that Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode (who, duh, is of course returning) was babysitting in the 1978 original. 

The scene in Halloween 1978 where she tells Tommy Doyle to run across the street to the neighbor’s house is one of my favorites - it has an authentic urgency to it that still resonates with me to this day.

OK, my excitement meter for this follow up just rose to an insane level of anticipation!

Don't Be Cruel(la)

That's So Punk!
Emma Stone

So one of the buzz's of the week was an image of Emma Stone as Cruella De Vil from the upcoming Disney origin story "Cruella" from the classic "101 Dalmatians."

Of course the Twitter-verse went into overdrive Tweeting like an angry bird frenzy about Stone's look in the upcoming dog tail.

"Uh is tim Burton directing this," asked Andy Signore on Twitter, referencing her "Edward Scissorhands" look.

"EMMA STONE COMO CRUELLA DE VIL... DISNEY STOP THIS,"

"She doesn't really fit the right class for her decade in this outfit. She looks more like a middle class thug in New Orleans than Upper Crust London,"

"More like this," said another person, comparing Stone's look to Frank N. Furter from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

The new look was revealed during Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.

Stone made a video appearance during the expo, revealing that the film will be set in London's punk rock era of the 1970s.

Phew that explains it all. Although I took to the look right off the bat myself...I guess I'm not a hardcore stickler when it comes to historically accurate details in a film about a mad woman who wants a coat made of Dalmatians.

Mic Drop!

Just Because...Brad Pitt

Once Upon A Time...
Brad Pitt

Just Because he's at the premiere in Mexico City. Just Because I loved Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood & Just Because It's Brad, bitch. Here he is the man of the moment Brad Pitt!

While Brad has never had that Schwing factor for me, there is no denying he is one good looking man. Not to mention one good actor as well...

In fact if I were a betting man, which I am not (seriously I'm not) I would venture to place my money on Mr. Pitt finally nabbing an Oscar for his role of stuntman and possible felon Cliff Booth in Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood. 

Brad is perfection in the film. It's showcases his acting chops and is a good old fashioned Movie Star type turn to boot.

If you have yet to catch Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood, what are you waiting for?! Seriously, what???

Comi-Con 2019: The Eternals

Surprise!
Angelina Jolie

So what kind of monster would I be if I didn't acknowledge the one of the biggest, most influential entertainment spectacles on the planet Comi-Con in San Diego? What kind of monster would I be? I'm asking you? Come on you lovers of the fantastic, surely you can come up with something???

Lucky for you, you won't have to as I am giving a wink and a nod to it by posting this pic of Angelina Jolie swooping down on the convention Maleficent style to surprise all you comic loving monkeys.

Now Ms. Jolie I suppose was there in part to promote the upcoming sequel to Maleficent, but she had something even more devilish planned. "Yes" Angelina revealed she is soon to become part of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe for the uninitiated) - she will be portraying Thena in The Eternals.

Like me you are most likely scratching something on your being and asking "WTF is an Eternal?!" fear not her is the explanation straight from IMDb's mouth: 

"The saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations."

Alrighty then. The Eternals is set for release on November 6th 2020, seems like almost an eternity...Ha!

Just Because...Chic Out!

Stepping Out
Naomi Watss

Just Because she looks so chic in this black ensemble, Just Because she is a power house actress & Just Because everyday is not like today I bequeath you Naomi Watts taking it to the streets in NYC.

Oh Naomi you look so fine you blow my mind, Naomi, hey, Naomi! Despite that Naomi's star making role (deservedly so) was in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. She first came to my attention in the movie Tank Girl. 

Ya that loopy movie where Ice-T played a kangaroo human hybrid that goes like this:
"A girl is among the few survivors of a dystopian Earth. Riding a war tank, she fights against the tyranny of a mega-corporation that dominates the remaining potable water supply of the planet"

A word to the wise this is one movie where you probably don't want to be a Jet Girl like Naomi was.

Moving on...up I hope, or not. "Yes" up for sure. Naomi ended up getting her first Oscar nomination for a film called 21 Grams. Which I found challenging, thus I loved it!

Now where did I stash my cool black ensemble?

Just Because...Justin Theroux

Riding On Bikes With Boys
Justin Theroux

Just Because he looks yummy in a sleeveless Britney Spears T-Shirt, Just Because his guns are a blazing and Just Because of his freeballing ways, here is Justin Theroux out and about on his bike in New York City.

I remember really noticing Justin for the first time when was oh so bad in the Charlie's Angels follow-up, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Justin was so hot being the sadistic criminal Seamus O'Grady who is the Ex of Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore) in the movie.

"Yes" he made my toes curl, and then some. I then remembered him from David Lynch's Mulholland Drive where he portrayed another lousy member of the male sex. You know the real portion, not the dream portion of this living Hollywood nightmare.

While he is a good actor, there is nothing like the many images of Justin freeballing on the WWW. He gives Jon Hamm a run for his money, ah Hell who am I kidding, I could never choose one or the other in this case, we'd have to compromise and go menage.

Thus I leave you Justin and his Theroux on this Sunday, June 2nd 2019.

Woot!

There's Got To Be A Morning After...

"There's got to be a morning after, If we can hold on through the night, We have a chance to find the sunshine, Let's keep on looking for the light" Theme from The Poseidon Adventure, Maureen McGovern

There does have to be a morning after and I'm not talking the pill...

That's correct minions it's the end of another three day weekend and boy do I feel it. How you may ask? Kind of like the S.S. Poseidon in The Poseidon Adventure, " Hell, Upside Down!"

While I won't go into specifics it isn't what you are surely thinking, I'm way too interesting for that pile. 

Thus today I am leaving you with a photo of myself and one of the stars of  The Poseidon Adventure Pamela Sue Martin, taken at the 40th anniversary screening of it at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Right here, right now.

Enjoy your morning after kiddies!

Seeing Red

The Woman in Red
Emma Thompson

I love when celebrities of the female variety hit the red carpet in, well red. "Yes" you know the old adage when the carpet matches the drapes? Well in this case it's the carpet matching the draping.

One of the key reasons for this is most women look smashing in red. Case in point, one Emma Thompson having some fun at the London gala screening of her latest Late Night, by doing what else? Striking a pose!

Late Night for the record is directed by a friend of mine, Nisha Ganatra - congrats Nisha on scoring, not one, but two great actresses for the project. Thompson, of course and Mindy Kaling who also wrote the screenplay. This is one I want to see based on the pedigree of the talent on and off camera alone.

So today I am Seeing Red and it is not a bad thing. In fact it is having quite the opposite effect and I am feeling groovy 😎

Trouble in the 90210

Torball!
l-r
Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling & Jason Priestley

So in case some of you nostalgia nerds haven't heard there is a six episode reboot of Beverly Hills 90210 coming your way. This being fact, there is also trouble in the fanciest zip code around. "Yes" trouble in the 90210.

On May 16th Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith and several senior writers quit the show. Well May 16th also happens to be Tori Spelling's Birthday. So what's a Spelling to do in such a situation? Let them eat cupcakes!

"Yep" Tori shook it off and celebrated her special day by indulging in cupcakes with co-stars Jennie Garth and Jason Priestley and posted it to her Instagram page, naturally.

Hey what else should a Birthday Girl do in this type circumstance? I ask you? I said I ask you, now answer me damn it! Whatever, moving on...

While I'm not sure what to make of a reboot that is only shooting six episodes and has behind the scenes people quitting in mass quantities, I will at for sure view the premiere episode. At the very least this sounds like a divine train wreck, you know you like to watch.

You're A Shining Star

Smile Everyone, Smiles
Anne Hathaway

With her latest movie The Hustle co-starring Rebel Wilson opening today, Anne Hathaway received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, naturally.

The Oscar Winning actress for Les Miserables, certainly has a great body of work that has earned her the honor. 

But in all honesty what compelled me to do a post on this today was the infectious smile she had while being immortalized on Hollywood Blvd. 

"Yes" her smile is what's making me happy this morning, Friday May 10th 2019. It's the most sincere thing I have seen all week. 

Thanks Anne for a lovely kick off to the day ahead, your mega watt smile is one of the many reasons you're a shining star. So bend it like Anne today minions, like I know you can.

Go get em'!!!

Monday Motivation

Flirty 30
Meg Ryan & Billy Crystal

Today's Monday Motivation comes in the form of leaving a lasting impression...for example the movie When Harry Met Sally which just celebrated it's thirty year anniversary with stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in attendance.

I mean who could ever forget Meg's fake orgasm scene smack dab in the middle of a deli. Or the chemistry she and Crystal had. "Yes" this is one of those movies that left and impression and still resonates with fans and audiences today.

Thus today's task is to be the best you, you can possibly be and leave a positive lasting impression on someone, or someones. 

We are all unique and have a quality that is ours and nobody else's - but please note that I said make a lasting positive impression. Negative ones stick to you like super glue and are not what you want peeps to remember you for.

It's time to Monday, cheers!

Just Because...You're Horny, Or Not

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Zac Efron

Just Because he has blonde hair, Just Because he's wearing a blue suit & Just Because he has some hot scruff - Gentlemen, Ladies...I present to you Zac Efron @ The Beach Bum premiere in Hollywood!

Seldom does my mind wander to the younger set, I tend to like dudes my own advanced age. Yet something tells me Zac is where it's at. I mean, he like totally has a musical background and such, thus I am willing to bet he has a vast knowledge of things of yore and we could communicate for hours, while he was picking things up off the floor.

Here is a breakdown of the film:

"A rebellious stoner named Moondog lives life by his own rules."

A) Aren't all movie stoners name Monndog???

B) This is written and directed by Harmony Korine

C) If you are asking who Harmony is then F#ck off

Yeah, this pic not only draws my attention because my Boy Toy fixation is in it. It is from auteur Harmony Korine, who wrote and  an explosive (at the time) film called Kids in 1995.

He has kept on keeping with his most recent effort behind the camera as a writer and director being Spring Breakers with an extremely high profile young female cast - Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens & Ashley Benson anyone? Anyone???

Thus I am intrigued....

Cruel Tuesday

Cruel Intention
Sarah Michelle Gellar

Kathryn Merteuil: Unfortunately, our Don Juan is moving with the speed of a Special Olympics hurdler.

One of my favorite movies of the 90's is Cruel Intentions. It is based on Les Liaisons dangereuses. It captured mean teens unlike anything around at the time and it became a hit and an enduring classic.

Whilst hitting the WWW this ayem I came across a piece featuring factoids about the movie, ya know, behind the scenes stuff.

Today's Cruel Tuesday fact is about the film's star Sarah Michelle Gellar - source E!Online.

DYE JOB

One of Hollywood's hottest blondes thanks to her star-making turn as Buffy Summers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gellar wanted to separate herself from the popular WB series when it came to the seductive and devious Kathryn. 

"That was Sarah's thing: 'I don't want to look like Buffy'" Kumble recalled. 

But it was more than just the hair change that helped Gellar, who grew up on the Upper East Side herself, deliver such a stellar performance, as she really was able to embrace the debauchery of the character without wanting to make her sympathetic. 

"We had long talks about her history. Roger used to always say, ‘Don't you think that she was abused?'" she told Premiere magazine in 1999. "And I'd say, 'No, I think she had a perfect upbringing. I think her mother adored her and her father sent her amazing gifts. She just wanted more."

Looking back on the experience, Gellar revealed to The Huffington Post that Cruel Intentions was one of her two "best film experiences," explaining, "We just knew we were making something that was so different and we were all so passionate and so excited. And we were all friends! It was just such a great time making that and letting it go as far as it did."

There was one aspect of playing the "Marcia f--king Brady of the Upper East Side" that Gellar did not love: "Although, the ground-up chamomile, the substitute I used for coke was not fun. I have allergies and since chamomile is kind of pollen-like, my nose and throat had it rough for a while."

Freaky Friday

WTF???
Glenn Close

Well minions the Oscars are this weekend and E! Online decided to run images of this years nominated stars from their first Academy Award red carpet attendance. 

In the immortal words of George Takei a Freaky Friday "Oh My" shout out goes to Best Actress nominee for "The Wife" Glenn Close for her total clueless lack of style in this WTF?! number she wore for her first evuh Oscar nomination in the Supporting Actress category for The World According To Garp.

Seriously, who the Hell dressed her in this hideous frock??? Even more seriously, how could she waltz down the red carpet not knowing how ghastly it truly is? I ask you? Gimme an answer now please!

Judging from her appearances on the Award circuit of late Ms. Close has certainly evolved in the style department and will be hitting the red carpet and looking fab not drab this Sunday.

You go Glenn Close!

Monday Motivation

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Tim Curry aka Dr. Frank N. Furter

"Don't Dream It, Be It. Don't Dream It, Be It..." - The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Today's Monday Motivation comes in the form of dreams. Without dreams life would be a tedious affair. Dreams of what you want from life, or they can just be a flat out fantasy to get you through an otherwise mundane day.

Dreams are essential to our well being. Without them we would be nothing, and vice versa. The Rocky Horror Picture Show's number "Don't Dream It, Be It" has always been a go to source of inspiration. If you seriously have to ask why then you truly do not get the RHPS. 

Push the boundaries of your life and the expectations placed upon you and others and never look back with any regrets. Anything someone else can do you can do as well as long as you believe in your power of you.

This Monday December 10, 2018 be it damn it, don't merely dream it....

Oh, and a gentle reminder, 15 more days until Christmas in case you give a F#ck. How many F#cks do I give about that? Current tally 0 - I'm to busy being it, not dreaming it...

So let's get this Monday started - go out and be your own Sweet Transvestite!

Monday Motivation

Ho, Ho, Hunk!
Kurt Russell

In keeping with yesterday's Hunky Holiday theme today's Monday Motivation comes in the form of none other than Santa Claus! Well Kurt Russell as Santa in the Netflix Holiday movie The Christmas Chronicles, saw that three times fast, c'mon I dare ya!

Who 'd have ever thunk that Santa would ever qualify as Hunky?! I ask you, "yep" I am asking so gimme an answer, post haste. Well when 67 year old Kurt Russell portrays him, he magically becomes Hot Daddy material.

Thus Kurt, not Santa is really what motivates me this Monday to keep up on the fitness and health regime I have embarked on and to keep getting better and better. 

So with a mighty Ho, Ho, Ho I send you on your way this Monday December 3rd 2018 to take on the world and do something good for yourself. "Tis the season after all...!!!

Monday Motivation

Got Body?
Colin Farrell 

Look it's Colin Farrell leaving a yoga class in Los Angeles. Which is exactly what I need to be doing today, but alas I can not. Grrrrrrrrrr....

"Yep" I have no time to hit the mat this Monday for the zen Motivation I need. That being stated I will try to go to that place that yoga takes me a place that everybody should dare to go. Let's let Colin tell us in his spot on quote regarding the practice of yoga -

“I love being in a class with students – 30 or 40 people all moving in unison. It’s very easy to live where you remain in your head… and you’re concerned about various things and constantly contemplating and so on and so forth, so it takes you out of your head for a while and just puts you back into your body." 

It does indeed take one out of one's head. Which is a place I frankly spend way too much time. 

So here's to going as headless as possible today. I want to be present in my body as much as I can. C'mon people let's motivate each other and just do it!
