Let's Get Physical, Again...

You Know What I Mean?
Juliana Hatfield

A shout goes to my partner in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills crime Jackie Kilmer for bringing this to my attention. 

What is it that was brought to your attention Michael, you are asking? Juliana Hatfield doing a cover of the Olivia Newton-John smash Physical from her fourth coming groove Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John on April 13th.

In case you don't know it I am a rabid ONJ fan. She was my first girl crush growing up. She was many a gay guys girl crush of a certain age actually, you know that outfit at the end of Grease? Mic drop!

Nothing can ever replace Olivia, but I love, love, love that Hatfield is doing a whole album of covers to one of the undisputed Queens of music.

Get Physical after the jump, or jump and get Physical. The decision is yours.

Powerhouse Grammy Award Winning singer Adele has made us share in her emotional pain. After all sharing is caring???
Now she wants us to feel her burn from working out. This selfie she took flexing her arms at the gym perfectly captures the guts and the glory of a hard core fitness program.
From the agony of the expression captured on her face, to the caption she posted with it: "getting ready..."
Well, well, well Adele nice to be acquainted with your physical anguish as well?
T.G.I.F. - Bend it like Adele this weekend, or not, the choice is yours!
