"Smiles Everyone, Smiles..."

You Get A Star!
l-r
Mickey Mouse, Katy Perry & Minnie Mouse

Do you know where the quote in my byline comes from today? If you do, then you are old. It comes from the TV show Fantasy Island which premiered January 14, 1977. The line was uttered every week by the character Mr. Roarke played by the late Ricardo Montalban. 

This quote popped into my head (yes, I am old(er) not old) when I spotted this photo of Katy Perry attending Minnie Mouse's star ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Mickey Mouse was there too, naturally.

Minnie has been playing the Hollywood game for 90 years it's about time this ageless beauty got honored, she's more than earned it!

Honestly I have no other reason for posting this today than whimsy and smiles.

So there!

As Mr. Roarke would say "Smiles Everyone, Smiles..." may you have an enchanting day!

Just Because...Margot Robbie

M-I-C...
Margot Robbie

Just because it's Monday, just because she's a beauty & mostly just because she is wearing a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt, I present this image of actress Margot Robbie.

Even though I did not see Suicide Squad I am sure most of you like me know her best from her role as Harley Quinn in the comic book based movie.

The last I heard she wrapped playing Tonya Harding of all things (isn't she too attractive to be portraying her?) in the bio based film I, Tonya.

Margot's greatest achievement IMHOP is having accomplished something I never thought possible. Yep, she has managed to add a whole other dimension to the icon known as Mickey Mouse.

Think about it, but not too hard, OK?

Happy Monday indeed.

Hot Couple Alert! Reese Witherspoon & Mickey Mouse!

Hot Couple
Reese Witherspoon & Mickey Mouse

Reese Witherspoon was grinning like the Cheshire Cat as she was snapped with her date for the evening, the one and only Mickey Mouse at the red carpet opening of Planet Hollywood Disney Springs in Orlando, FL.

Reese looked adorable in a lacy red spring dress, while Mickey looked dapper in his signature tuxedo with yellow bow tie and read pants.

The two were thisclose for the event.

No word if there might be any mouse pups in their future. "Yes" mouse pup is a real thing. Google it.

Smiles everyone, smiles tomorrow is the first day of Spring, have a good one!

It's Santa Mickey!

Not A Creature Was Stirring, Except For Mickey Mouse!
Ryan Reynolds, Mickey Mouse & Blake Lively

Santa made me post this. Blame it on the spirit of Christmas taking possession of me, but I just had to post this way too cute photo of Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively striking a pose with Santa Mickey in front of the castle at Disneyland. 

Apparently the twosome were there celebrating their daughter James' second Birthday. Happy, Happy James! 

What made me cross over to the saccharine side? If you have ever been to Disneyland at Christmas time you would understand just how much more magical it is this time of year. It can turn any Scrooge into a Tiny Tim. I was there last year in December and had a truly enchanted day. 

The theme park's halls are decked with the most festive of decor and the happy factor is off the hook!

Speaking of which, Happy Saturday to and to all a good one!

PS Although I had a blast, I must say I am a bit grouchy that I did not get a photo with Santa Mickey too...Bah Humbug!

Romy & Michele - It's Time For Another Reunion

Give Us A Sequel, Or We Kidnap The Mouse

It's been 17 years since Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, That's correct, 17 whole long years since Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow cracked our collective asses up!

Wow time flies, but if memory serves me, High School Reunions happen every 10 years, so these two are overdue for another kick ass time at the place of their awkward years.

Sorvino says that she and Kudrow as well as the movie's creator and writer, Robin Schiff, want to do a sequel to the 1997 cult favorite, but Disney doesn't seem to agree.

"Disney, if you're listening—everybody wants it!" states Sorvino, "Me and Lisa and Robin would love to do a sequel. We have asked Disney before. It's Disney that has to decide to say yes."

 Mira further extrapolates  "I don't think they realize what a cult phenomenon it has become. I mean, people dress up as us for Halloween!"

That's right Haus of Mouse, we want to know what happened to these two icons post their ten year reunion, Mickey can you hear us?!

Were here were Romy & Michele fans, deal with it!

I for one would love to see this happen, oh and a note to the Haus of Mouse, if you have not had green cheese before (although I am 100% sure you have)  there will be plenty if you grant fans of this awesome movie their wish.

When you wish upon a star...

Demand this sequel!

It's "Showfolk" Time!

"I dated Ronald Reagan when he was a Democrat" - Monica Lewis Former Starlet "Earthquake" 

I had the pleasure of viewing Showfolk at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Director Ned McNeilage's Documentary short, which is a Valentine to Hollywood Veteran's of the Entertainment Industry's Golden Era.

Here is the synopsis of the people's lives involved in the project:

A Vaudeville comedian still working at 100, a stunning siren who dated Reagan when he was a Democrat, a kid out of college who sold The Ten Commandments around the world, a Disney legend who met Walt when she was a little girl and spent her life with Mickey Mouse: these showbiz vets share wisdom and inspiration garnered over seven lifetimes in the business. Residing together at the Motion Picture & Television Fund home, these entertainment lifers are "bonded by the show". These, ladies and folgentlemen, are Showfolk.

Two, Two, Two Monica Lewis's In One

Showfolk has also screened in competition at four major prestigious festivals thus far:.

- Tribeca Film Festival, New York

- AFI Docs,, Washington, D.C.

- Palm Springs International Shortfest

Showfolk has won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Short at the Palm Springs international ShortFest. It was also included in the "Best of Fest" final-day re-screenings at AFI Docs.

Out of 5000+ submissions from 60+ countries, Showfolk has also been invited into competition at Rhode Island International Film Festival!

We're Here, We're "Showfolk" Get Used To It

I really enjoyed this lovely documentary short, as I am a fan of old Hollywood. Also I have been to the Motion Picture & Television Fund home out yonder in Woodland Hills, CA for movie screenings. A friend of mine's Mother used to be a nurse there so the final shot of the movie was familiar to me when we get a parting glance of these veteran's at the short's finale.

Hey if you are planning on attending the Rhode Island International Film Festival in August do yourself a favor and catch the folk that are destined to be America's next sweethearts all over again.

That's Showfolk and their entertainment!

Showfolk, they're everywhere, resistance is futile:
