World Toilet Day

Evilene On Her Throne, Literally 

Believe it or not today really is World Toilet Day (there will be a link to click at the end of this post to prove it) - So what better way to honor it than my most memorable toilet scene from a movie.

Honestly don't all of you have some toilet scene from a film you saw that really pops out? I know I have a quite vivid memory of he one I'm going to flush on ya!

Mine is from the 1978 movie The Wiz starring Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as The Scarecrow. No, neither of them have a toilet scene, but the Wicked Witch does.

Evilene played by the formidable Mabel King (I met her once at a show biz retirement community in the Los Angeles Valley, she was something!) sits on a throne that's, well a giant toilet. So guess how the evil one meets her demise? Yep, she gets flushed down her throne!

Not the most dignified way for a Wicked Witch to go (so to speak) but more entertaining than being put to rest with a bucket of water I'll tell you what.

There's no need to direct you to celebrate today, because As If! you wont use the toilet, duh!

Wiz Bomb!

We're Going to "Wiz"
Mary J. Blige & Queen Latifah

So NBC is reviving The W-I-Z

That's correct, The Wiz is being, revived, woot! I remember seeing the original film starring Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow. Oh, and let's not forget the late great Lena Horne as Glinda the Good. Directed by the great Sidney Lumet.

A lot of critics were divided, but I was completely spellbound. Hey "Ease On Down The Road" people.

Well current casting news on the NBC production eases like this: Queen Latifah as The Wiz and Mary J. Blige as Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Personally I can't wait for this! I love myself some Latifah and Blige!

 Just say no to poppies!
