Jamie Lee Curtis

Well Done!
Jamie Lee Curtis

Finally Jamie Lee Curtis took home her first SAG Award win for supporting actress in  Everything Everywhere All At Once, bravo!!!

Honestly I can think of a few other roles she wasn't even nominated for that should have grabbed her many awards including The Academy one, A Fish Called Wanda in particular comes to mind.

Perhaps the best news about this win is that it is a precursor to the Academy Awards and her first Oscar nomination ever for the same role.

This bodes well that on March 12, 2023 that Jamie Lee will be a first time Oscar winner. I'll raise a glass to that, she deserves it!

A Sweaty Mess???

A Sweaty Mess, Not!
Carrie Underwood

While surfing the WWW I came upon a compilation of make-up free selfies that female celebrities had posted on their Instagram pages. 

They all looked good, some even great without it (seriously would anyone post one without their face on if they didn't?) I have a winner. For me the hands down best one for overall content & context is Carrie Underwood's.

She captioned that this is what she looks like when she is a "sweaty mess."

Really?! All I have to say to the pic taken during her workout is we should all look this good when sweating.

This proves Carrie is not of this earth.

What Makes U "Say Yes"

Look Into My Eyes & "Say Yes"
Jason Walker

Jason Walker & Tony Moran are "So Happy" to "Say Yes" to #1!!!

Two-time Grammy nominated dance producer Tony Moran and Out Music Award winner Jason Walker are following up “So Happy”, their #1 Billboard hit from this summer, with a celebratory new track for fall, “Say Yes”. Written by Tony Moran and Mike Greenly, the hard-pounding single features another awe-inspiring vocal performance by Jason Walker, along with a superstar collection of remixes and a thrilling new music video by Karl Giant. “Say Yes” is available now on iTunes via http://www.mrtanmanmusic.com.

“Tony Moran approached me about doing another track right after we finished recording ‘So Happy’, our song that would climb all the way to #1,” recalls Jason Walker from his New York home. “What else could I do but ‘Say Yes’?”

“Mike and I were inspired to write the song from all the wedding ceremonies we’ve each been attending since the supreme court legalized same-sex marriage,” explains Tony Moran. “It’s made us reflect on the power of saying yes and how that simple three letter word can move mountains, promote progress and change life as we know it.”

“I asked Jason to record the single for us because that magical voice of his exudes power. He’s an incredible talent and someone that I truly believe represents the future of music.”

Moran and Walker re-enlisted videographer Karl Giant, the director of the “So Happy” video to helm "Say Yes" - check it out after the jump!

"Call Me Mrs. Efron Already"

Put A Ring On It
Simone Biles & Zac Efron

Dreams do come true! No, the byline does not refer to me, even though it is no secret I have a thing for Zac Efron, I certainly would not be telling you to call me his Mrs. More like "Call me Daddy, Zac."

No the title of "Mrs. Efron" belongs to four time Gold Medal winner at the Rio Summer

Olympics gymnast Simone Biles who copped to having a big ole crush on Zac. 

"He kissed me on the cheek just letting y'all know" Biles proclaimed on her Twitter account upon meeting her Prince.

I'll let it slide this time Simone since you are Gold and all, but next time you need to clear it with Zac's Daddy if his boy can come out and play.

The Return Of Lee DeWyze

Yep, he's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack....!

April 22, 2013 – Singer/songwriter Lee DeWyze, will return to the American Idol stage on Thursday, April 25^th to perform his new song “Silver Lining” - the first single from his upcoming summer release on Vanguard Records.   Thursday’s appearance will mark DeWyze’s first  performance on American Idol since he was crowned winner of Season Nine in 2010. American Idol airs on Fox TV Wednesday and Thursdays at 8:00pm Eastern/7:00pm Central.

DeWyze’s premiere of “Silver Lining” will offer the millions of Idol fans and viewers a preview of what’s to come on his new album spotlighting his gift as a distinctive songwriter as well as an accomplished musician.  DeWyze is currently in the studio wrapping up his Vanguard debut.

Lee DeWyze will formally launch the pivotal next stage of what is already a high-profile musical career with the release of his label debut. “This past year, I hunkered down and wrote an album,” the Chicago native explains. “I wanted to take it back to what I’m really about, which is writing emotionally charged, meaningful songs. It wasn’t like I wanted to find a label and then decide what kind of album to make. I knew what kind of album I wanted to make and knew I could make. It’s going back to the kind of music I’ve always loved. The way I see it, everything that’s happened throughout my career has happened so that I can make this record.

Lee will be hitting the road this summer in support of his new album.  Tour dates listed below with more cities to be added.
