With the rapidly changing landscape of the music industry, artists are faced with two choices – evolve, or fade away. Jade Starling, of the ‘80s group Pretty Poison, chose the former, and it’s put her right in the middle of today’s vibrant EDM scene.” - Arena.com

Have you ever wondered what the lead singer of Pretty Poison would be doing if she didn't have 80's hair? Well here is your answer, yeah, that's correct, I am a giver.

Enjoying a career resurgence that includes a celebrated return to the Billboard Dance charts, JADE STARLING is enjoying her highest chart numbers since her iconic classic hit “CATCH ME I’M FALLING” topped the very same chart in 1987.

Starling’s latest hit “Better and Better,” has risen to #3, marking her 10th appearance on the chart since launching her career in the 1980s as lead singer of the platinum group Pretty Poison“Better and Better” is the third single from Starling’s critically acclaimed solo debut album, CAPTIVE  (Subpeona/Tazmania/Universal)

Starling’s current success with “Better and Better” is especially notable as the only indie-label release in the Top 10.

“Sharing the top 5 with current superstars Kelly ClarksonIcona Pop and Demi Lovato is a major accomplishment for me” says Starling, who has managed to achieve this on a fraction of the promotional budget powering those superstar records.

“Better and Better was co-written with DJ Laszlo and Pretty Poison co-founder Whey Cooler. It features remixes from two of Dance Music’s most enduring legends, Stonebridge and Chris Cox, as well as festival favorite TavoJeff Retro (resident DJ at Las Vegas’ Hakkasan Nightclub), WKTU mix show team Cova & SteelDarulah (Romainia)Andy Sikorski (England), Mike Ferullo, Elektromind (Italy), and DJ Laszlo.

With her new found relevance, Starling is hard at work on a CAPTIVE ground tour which will launch in early 2016 and feature 3D technology.

Best known as the vocalizing half and award-winning songwriter of the platinum-selling duo Pretty Poison (#1 hit “Catch Me I’m Falling” on Virgin Records), the flame-tressed diva will be visible at a variety of venues and events in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia region this fall, including appearances at the Sands Hotel Casino in Bethlehem PA (Sep. 29th), All Things That Rock Festival in Philadelphia (Oct. 3 & 4) with Ace Frehley of KISSCarl Palmer of ELPLita Ford and more, and an appearance at the Westbury Music Fair (Oct. 30th) as part of the “Monsters of Freestyle” Halloween extravaganza.

Who's That "New Girl?"

Which Girl Is New?
Megan Fox or Zooey Deschanel?
I have a confession I have never seen an episode of New Girl. So why I am reporting on it? 

Megan Fox, Megan Fox, Megan Fox! I feel for you! That's correct minions THE Megan Fox is going to sublet while THE Zooey Deschanel is out breast feeding her baby.

Show creator Liz Meriweather has this to say about Fox"It's insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it"

Accept it Liz let the feeling live within you.

Hey I am a sucker for Foxy Megan - she is funny, yes I mean it! She will make me tune the fuck in for this!!! Werd!

Que Shiraz, Shiraz

Shiraz!
Gerard Butler, Salma Hayek & Adrien Brody


With Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur both falling in September well it's prime time for what else? Shiraz! You get some Shiraz, and you get some Shiraz, and you get some Shiraz!

How apropos that there is now a film that premiered at the Toronto Film Festival affectionately known as TFF titled: September of Shiraz.

On the completely irreverent side and off the wall state of things the after party was sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka. Yeah the wine companies that produce Shiraz really took a snooze on this promotional opportunity.

But hey it produced a really rocking image of  two totally hot and sexy stars and one very talented one - Gerard Butler, Salma Hayek and Adrien Brody combined to make a pretty compelling threesome at the premiere.

Hey, Gerard if you are going to be at any other film festivals in the near future please let myself and author M.E. Franco know, we're here for you!

See you in Toronto next year, Gerard !

Jamie Lee Curtis Goes "Psycho"

Like Mother, Like Daughter
Jamie Lee Curtis & Janet Leigh

OK, everyone knows I am a HUGE horror fan! So it stands to reason I am quite excited about the premiere of Scream Queens (not Screaming Queens) September 22nd on FOX

A main attraction for this horror junkie being Scream Queen Supreme Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie was in one of my all time favorite slasher/suspense flicks John Carpenter's Halloween, and as you recall followed that up with a bunch of others in the 1980's such as Prom Night and Terror Train.

It was most likely her destiny to fill the role since her Mother, Janet Leigh was one of the original Scream Queens when she appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho. Another of my favorite things!

You know the movie where the female lead gets killed off in the first fifteen minutes of footage, yeah that one.

Well Jamie Lee recently Tweeted this image with the caption: "Recreated Mom's PSYCHO shower scene 4 a special ep of @ScreamQueens,"

Yes!!! I know where I will be this coming Tuesday the 22nd at 9 pm!

Dancing With The Stars Season 21 Get's "Real"

Suspicious, or Real?

All you "Dancing" fans rejoice, Dancing With The Stars Season 21 premiered last night!

Oddly enough season 2 of the daytime chat fest The Real premiered yesterday afternoon.

Co-Host Tamar Braxton is a contestant on the celebrity dance-a-thon, the rest of the ladies of The Real - Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Adrienne Bailon and Tamara Mowry-Housley, were all in attendance to cheer their comrade on!

Mere coincidence? Perhaps, or is there a more insidious intent behind this blatant self promotion? Seriously, check the mysterious "10" on Loni Love's hand! Grab your tin foil hat and let the conspiracy theories commence.

Are the women of The Real to be trusted or is there a hidden agenda at work? Keep watching DWTS and The Real and see how this saga unfolds...

What Happens At Fashion Week...

The Selfie Game
Courtney Love & Kim Kardashian-West 
Unlike Vegas, what happens at Fashion Week never stays there, I am guessing due to the lack of open desert in which to dig holes. How else does one explain the most off the wall never in a million years did you think this would happen selfie of Courtney Love and Kim Kardashian-West ?!

From what could possibly be a sign that The Rapture is coming, or the Silicone Fairy has paid a visit, Kimmy KW  nabbed Courtney L and snapped both of them.

Needles to say the image ended up on Instagram, that Kim she sure is a giver.

Hey it's Monday so why not kick your week off by turning and facing the strange? That way the rest of your week will be tame by comparison.

Have a bombastic day!

Whitney and the Holograms?

I'm Your Hologram Tonight
Whitney Houston
Yep, it's true! Whitney Houston will be giving Jem and the Holograms a run for their money in 2016.

Get ready folks, Whitney's hologram will be touring. Personally I find this concept weird. I mean they will have to take footage from already recorded Houston performances and recordings to put this apparition together, correct?

Well don't all of you die hard WH fans own all of that paraphernalia already? 

Yeah, I really don't get the lure of paying what is likely to be primo dinero to watch ghosts of the past culled from material of the real deal that is already out there, nothing spontaneous or interesting about that now is there?!

Or maybe there is, but this type of thing is not for this guy. 

Food for thought, have the happiest of Sundays and remember...

"You've given me ecstasy, you are my fantasy
I'm your baby tonight"...
