On Saturday's We Wear Pink...

Getting Into Her Groove
Tiffany Haddish

"Yes" I know in Mean Girls it's Wednesday they wear pink, but today is Saturday. It's today I came across this paparazzi photo of Tiffany Haddish out on the town with pink hair and it is giving me life, so there!

Remember when Tiffany shaved her head bald at the beginning of the Pandemic? Well her hair has obviously grown out and now it is pink.

Gotta say I am loving her latest look, not too many peeps could pull of pink hair and Haddish does it with her usual flair. (hair/flair I made a rhyme, did you catch it Minions?)

Not to mention it, like pretty much everything she does puts a smile on your face. Hey get those good vibes anyway you can...

Mic Drop!

Juicy!

Makin' News
Lizzo

I'm breezing into Saturday like...

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, Don't say it, 'cause I know I'm cute (ooh, baby)" Juice, Lizzo

"Yes" Lizzo and Myself have this in common, I'm feeling her today, thus she is my spirit animal of this moment, right here, right now.

Bear witness to bad ass Lizzo arriving not in a convertible, but on one for her performance on the Today Show in NYC.

"I'm like chardonnay, get better over time (so you know), Heard you say I'm not the baddest, bitch, you lied"

Preach Lizzo! If anyone tells you that your aren't worthy of being the baddest bitch today give them a smackdown!

Booyah!

Once Upon A Time...On Saturday

Angry Birds???
Leonardo DiCaprio 

With Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood" being the summer's hottest ticket right here, right now, when I stumbled across this photo of star Leonardo DiCaprio caught making a face only he could explain, well I just had to run it. Why? Because we all need fun in our lives.

Trust me this is not meant to make fun of Leonardo it's to have fun with him. I'm pretty 100% sure he knew he was making this face by the looks of it, I would venture to say he was not caught off guard by some tricky paparazzi.

So it's Saturday a day to chill and not take life too seriously. Perhaps even engaging in the Tomfoolery of making a goofy face in public for no other reason than to put a smile on your face and others.

You only have one life after all, lighten up bitches.

“On the weekend of the Academy Awards, Motion Plus Design will celebrate eight of the world’s top motion designers,” enthuses Founder and Festival Director Kook Ewo. “Film title sequences are an essential part of feature films and yet their creators are unsung. While the Emmys recognize Outstanding Main Title Design for television, unfortunately, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has yet to introduce an Oscar for Best Film Titles.”

O

Motion Plus Design Los Angeles speakers will share the secrets behind their latest creations, such as the Emmy Award-winning title sequence Counterpart from Karin Fong or the UI graphics of Avengers: Infinity War from Marti Romances. Several speakers will debut never-before-seen design work. See full speaker bios below.

Silly Saturday

Give Me A High C!
Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka

Remember the 1988 movie Big starring Tom Hanks? Of course you might, or perhaps not...but if you do you will understand why this image of Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka dancing on the iconic FAO Schwarz piano in NYC is giving me life today, Saturday November 17th 2018.

Now mind you I have a sense of whimsy from time to time other days too. But it isn't a regular occurrence, so revel in this magic moment minions.

With Thanksgiving next week and then Christmas just around the corner I felt a Silly Saturday was in order. 

After all don't we all deserve it? Yes, yes we do!

Clap your hands together and repeat after moi "I Believe"

Saturday Sinema: 12 Monkeys

Terry Gilliam is a director with vision. I remember seeing "12 Monkeys" upon it's release...amazing! 

Hitting shelves on October 30^th! Following the commercial and critical success of The Fisher King, Terry Gilliam next feature would turn to science fiction and a screenplay by Janet and David Peoples (Blade Runner, Unforgiven) inspired by Chris Marker's classic short film La Jetée. In 1996, a deadly virus is unleashed by a group calling themselves the Army of the Twelve Monkeys, destroying much of the world's population and forcing survivors underground. In 2035, prisoner James Cole (Bruce Willis, Die Hard) is chosen to go back in time and help scientists in their search for a cure. Featuring an Oscar-nominated turn by Brad Pitt (Fight Club) as mental patient Jeffrey Goines, Twelve Monkeys would become Gilliam's most successful film and is now widely regarded as a sci-fi classic. Arrow Films are proud to present the film in a stunning new restoration.

Roger Ebert calling it a "celebration of madness and doom."

Bonus Materials

• The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys, feature-length making-of documentary by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe (Lost in La Mancha)

Super Saturday
Henry Cavill

It's the weekend and aren't you happy? Well nothing says good times like a tall glass of champagne and Henry Cavill aka Superman - so I guess that makes this a Super Saturday, no?

Henry is taking 5 from promoting Mission: Impossible - Fallout and what better way to go than an refreshing adult beverage?

At present I am at my computer having a sliced grapefruit and green tea. It's 5:41 am and too early for close encounters of the alcohol kind. But later, ya know, Saturday Night when I hit the screening of Mulholland Drive on the roof top of The Montalban Theater in Hollywood, well...it's time for some of their legendary Sangria with some Silencio to top it off for good measure.

Time to start getting up and at em' - Saturday is also my favorite Spin Class -

Ciao!

Kylie Minogue & Some Friends

Today I am feeling light and breezy, "No" definitely not easy and breezy...

Thus this image of Pop Superstar Kylie Minogue with The Muppets is exactly what one needs to take in on a Silly Saturday. I feel silly, oh so silly I feel silly and witty and bright. And I pity anyone who isn't me today!

Kylie took some time out to be a special guest on The Muppets Take The 02 in London, England recently and it looks like she had a blast. Thus in return I have put you all on blast that she is now Queen of the Muppets - Ha! Kidding, or am I.

Don't you love a good secret? Of course you do. Especially when it's Kylie Minogue's .

Saturday Sinema: The Last House On The Left

The Wes Craven original horror classic with tons of bonus material...Yep, a film buffs dream!!!

MARI, SEVENTEEN, IS DYING. EVEN FOR HER THE WORST IS YET TO COME! The directorial debut of Wes Craven, the man behind such horror favourites as A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes and Scream, The Last House on the Left justly retains its reputation as one of the most harrowing cinematic experiences of all time, nearly half a century on from its original release. On the eve of her 17th birthday, Mari and friend Phyllis set off from her family home to the big city to attend a concert by shock-rockers Bloodlust. Attempting to pick up some marijuana on the way, the pair run afoul of a group of vicious crooks, headed up by the sadistic and depraved Krug (David Hess). Gagged and bound, the young women are bundled into a car trunk and driven to the woods, where the gang subject them to a terrifying ordeal of sexual humiliation, torture and murder. Unleashed on an unsuspecting public in 1972, The Last House on the Left shocked audiences with its graphic and unflinching portrayal of interpersonal violence, paving the way for a whole host of cheap imitators looking to capitalise on its success. It is Wes Craven's original alone, however, that remains one of the true watershed moments in horror (and indeed, film) history.

Just Because...Adam Rippon

Shake Your Groove Thang
Adam Rippon

Just Because he's a rebel just for kicks now, Just Because he's a fan favorite athlete & Just Because well, he's an entertainer at heart. Here is Olympic skater Adam Rippon, naked for the ESPN Magazine's Body Issue.

All the guys think Adam's a spaz he's got Bette Davis eyes...OK, he actually doesn't, but there is something about Adam that is truly captivating. While I do not find him attractive in a sexual way I do find him charismatic, someone who can make me interested in what he is doing at any given moment.

I also love nudity.That is a full proof way to catch this guy's eye! Even if I have no desire to tap it, I love to see what other people look like sans clothing.

Of course Mr. Rippon has a rocking body, it's an athlete thang.

Thus I leave you today, Saturday June 23rd 2018 with an image from the shoot, because I am such a giver and like seeing someone in their Birthday Suit as much as the rest of you do.

Having lost 45lbs. this motivates me even more to _____ the blank is yours to fill in. 

Have a terrific day! Hi ho, Hi ho it's off to the gym I go!
