Hump Day & Chill

No Longer Mythical
Jamie Lee Curtis

Well here's something to Hump Day & Chill to, Jamie Lee Curtis as a Unicorn. Actually she may have thought her ever getting an Oscar Nomination was the equivalent of he mythical creature. But after all these years (and a few nomination worthy performances prior) Jamie Lee finally got herself an Oscar Nom in the Supporting Actress Category for Everything Everywhere All At Once!!!

Thus we are going to celebrate by having a Hump Day & Chill to this most excellent news.

Fingers crossed that she could possibly take home the gold dude, but the odds seem to favor Angela Bassett. 

It's an honor just to be nominated, right??? Yeah, right...

Team Jamie Lee!!!

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?

One, Two, He's Coming For You...Wes Craven

The Man of Your Nightmares
Wes Craven

"The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself" - Wes Craven

One of my favorite filmmakers, Wes Craven has passed away. He directed Meryl Streep in her Oscar Nominated role in Music of the Heart and one of my favorite popcorn thrillers Red Eye with Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy.

However he will always be known for his works of horror, most notably the high profile Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream films. 

I remember when both came out. Each was heralded as contributing something unique to the horror genre.

Scream with it's unique blend of wit and scares revived horror movies at a time when the genre was pretty much dead.

As a huge horror fan I thought I had seen it all, but nothing could have prepared me for the opening scene of Drew Barrymore being stalked and ultimately murdered. It was truly frightening on every level you could imagine, her dying merely feet away from her parents gasping for air and trying to get their attention will stay with me forever!

A Nightmare on Elm Street was notorious for making people afraid to dream. It truly was the stuff sweet dreams aren't made of.

R.I.P.

She captioned the pic: "'Your mom called....she freaked me out. And then there's that other guy far left.' #AlmostFamousLove."

"Anarchy" On Courtney Love's 50th Birthday

Can You Feel The Courtney Love Tonight?

Courtney Love recently celebrated her 50th Birthday, HBD to you! My how time flies!

I remember having her dive into the mosh pit of The Palladium in Hollywood on top of me and my friend Brittney like it was, yesterday, and meeting her backstage after the show was pretty amazing.

So for her 50th what do you think Ms. Love does? She indulges in some anarchy Sons of Anarchy that is.

Yes, one of the ways Courtney is celebrating the big 5-0 is appearing in a multi-episode arc as Ms. Harrison -- the pre-school teacher of Jax's (Charlie Hunnam) eldest son Abel. Her character reportedly takes a special interest in Abel, which will likely catch the attention of the boy's mother, Wendy (Drea de Matteo).

She will debut in episode four of the seventh and final season of the show.

It's been too long since CL has acted, she was brilliant in The People Vs. Larry Flynt, and she won a Golden Globe Nomination for it, but not an Oscar nomination, she was snubbed in my opinion.

Salute Courtney! Hope this is a great year for you! I will be watching SOA this season, oh yes I will...

Need some love?
