Laverne Cox has finally met Caitlyn Jenner at a private advanced screening of Jenner's TV show I Am Cait.

Laverne has been quite vocal and open in her support of Caitlyn - so what is one to do when this sort of thing transpires? Why hit social media with a picture of the two of them together, naturally.

Robert Downey Jr. Goes Blaxican!

RDJ & The Blaxican Gang

I have unfortunately never met Robert Downey Jr. - I say this because I've only ever heard & seen him be one cool guy.

Well here is more proof, while filming Captain America: Civil War in Atlanta, RDJ got his eat on at the Blaxican food truck.

Being the guy he is Robert posed for photos with the owner and his crew. 

Such a a good guy, no wonder he was cast as Iron Man!

Beat It With Cara Delevingne

Cara "Beatbox" Delevingne

There's something about Cara that I find compelling...even though she is present and available it's like she always has a secret of epic proportions brewing just under her surface.

Making Ms. Delevingne a personal favorite of mine. 

Well add one more thing to that list: Beatboxing. Yes, while promoting her movie Paper Towns on The Tonight Show, Cara revealed a whole new layer of herself and showed off a skill that the world at large did not know she had.

She impressed everyone including host Jimmy Fallon.

Watch your back Kevin "K.O." Olusola of Pentatonix, there's a new Beatboxer in town.

Hit the video after the jump!

You Know That Evening With Collective Soul...

Platinum-Selling Rock Band Collective Soul Set to Release

Ninth Album See What You Started By Continuing on October 2

USA TODAY premieres new single “This”

Hey Karen Castricher-Stegall remember that evening when we met Collective Soul at a club in Hollywood and...

Collective Soul, the multi-platinum selling band that helped sonically define alternative rock, is set to release their long-awaited ninth album, See What You Started By Continuing on October 2nd. The announcement was made today via USAToday.com where the band also premiered the first single “This.” See What You Started By Continuing marks the band’s Vanguard Records debut.

Roland explains the album title See What You Started By Continuing came following a year off after the band had been going non-stop for 19 years. “During that year, we had time to reflect and be proud of what we had accomplished over the years,” says Roland. “When we came back together, we were rested and more confident than we had ever been in our careers. We never thought of this as a second chance, but more of a second breath. We wanted to continue doing what we had always done and that was to make guitar driven music.”

See What You Started By Continuing was recorded and mixed at Edible Studios in Atlanta, GA and mixed by industry veteran Shawn Grove.  Following the release of the new album, the band will embark on their “21^st Birthday” tour. More details to follow.

Three Way With Amy Schumer

Does This Cigarette Make Me Look Topless?

In honor of Hump Day I thought I would share this photo. It made me laugh, hope it makes you laugh too!

Yep, the awesome Amy Schumer whose rave reviewed movie Trainwreck opens this Friday, up chucked her inner Princess Leia in a photo shoot for GQ.

As you know no Star Wars themed shoot would be complete without a menage a trois image of Leia having been freshly banged by C3PO and R2D2.

It'a all about the hump, Happy Wednesday!

Hello Little Dolly

                

Dolly & Her Doppelganger 

DOLLY PARTON MOVIE CASTING NEWS ANNOUNCED ON THE TODAY SHOW 

                                        Look! It's Little Dolly Parton!

The singing superstar had a thrilling surprise for the young actress, Alyvia Lind, personally giving her the news that she will play Dolly as a child in the upcoming original movie “Coat of Many Colors.” “Coat of Many Colors,” named after Parton’s song, will be based on Parton’s upbringing, with the Parton serving as executive producer.

Parton had called the 1971 track her favorite song she has written. It tells the story of how her mother stitched together a coat for her daughter out of rags given to the family, telling her the biblical story of Joseph and his Coat of Many Colors. But when the girl, all excited, debuts the new coat at school, she is ridiculed by her classmates for wearing rags.

The original coat is now on display in Parton’s Chasing Rainbows Museum at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN.

NBC’s deal with Parton, includes a series of standalone TV movies based on Parton’s songs, stories and life. They will contain music but won’t be musicals, with Parton possibly appearing in some. Parton is developing the projects with production partner Sam Haskell of Magnolia Hill Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television.

Troubadour: Dudley Saunders

Troubadour: Dudley Saunders

Here is the 8th video from In These Boxes, from my favorite troubadour Mr. Dudley Saunders "Love in Crystal." Let's hear what the master has to say about this...

"Two men are set to be remembered, if only in part: they grow up the way their families like, they come to New York, start careers. But they can’t be anything but what they were expected to be. They can’t imagine something different. They want to, they feel so empty and trapped, and life feels so literal.

And then one night when the feeling is particularly bad, they both take a drug and it brings them to life. Together.

They give up everything to feel this way.

Later, when the Ukrainian super is clearing out the apartment, he sees this tie and thinks one of them must have had a job, once."
