It's A Gaga, Gaga, Gaga World!

It's My World, Enjoy!
Lady Gaga
Not only did February bring hope of an early spring courtesy of a groundhog, it also brings us a world ruled by Lady Gaga. Yeah, I know there are some of you who think that is a year round thing. I am skeptical on that one, but, I will give the tip of the hat to her, Tony Bennett style for the second month of 2016.

So gather round peeps and get the 411 on the two huge reasons Gaga owns your ass for February....

First off the mother of all monsters will perform an "Experimental" tribute to David Bowie at the 2016 Grammy Awards on February 15th. Normally this show falls under AAAC (avoid at all costs,)

But this is inspired perfection! After all what has Gaga's career been other than one big tribute to one of the Gods of rock?

Lapping up the momentum of this blessed announcement comes another Gaga bon mot. She is officially singing the National Anthem at Superbowl 50 this Sunday! Marlee Matlin will be signing it alongside her.

Wow! This is going to be some opener to the football's biggest day. The Lady has proven she has the chops to score a touchdown with this, and while I doubt she will veer to far from a traditional delivery of such a revered song, I bet we will get some Gaga flourishes and she will make the performance all hers. 

For sure she will not forget the lyrics.

Speaking about the botched facial treatment, Tucker said, “I wanted to get a chemical peel on my face. It’s a normal [procedure], it’s not even a hospital stay. They caught the laser on fire with the oxygen… the only thing I remember hearing is, ‘Get the ambulance, we’ve got a fire.’ [I had] second and third-degree burns from here down on my face, and then the flames went up into my nose and down into my lungs... It was the worst thing… I was just saying, ‘God, why me?’”

Sneak Peek, Tonight's Fashion Police


Who They'll Be Wearing Tonight on Fashion Police

Ever wondered what goes into making something as hilarious and off the wall as Fashion Police on E! ???  Well wonder no more, yeah, I am hear to spill some fun!

Tonight's claws come out for the SAG Awards. Meow! Yesterday I arrived at E! Studios checked in and waited for my friend and awesome publicist Ken Phillips to come fetch me, his client Margaret Cho, is one of the sheriffs on duty who calls you out for what you do or don't wear.

Ken took me on a little tour which included a trip to the bathroom before I got myself settled in the studio for the long haul of the taping. Yes, as most people know it takes more than an hour to shoot a show with the same running time.

Shooting begins roughly 20 minutes late. No big deal, the set of Fashion Police is way cool in person BTW. For the first part of the taping I am huddled in the audience area with the warm up comic who also cues everyone to cheer and laugh - laughter however is not a problem, especially with the likes of Margaret Cho and Nene Leakes, both hilarious!

One of the things that I loved about my experience on the set of FP was the party atmosphere of the shoot. Yes, people were working hard, but they were all having a blast! I mean how could you not? You will feel it in the finished product that you see on E! tonight!

Everyone seems to genuinely like and respect each other. It's definitely a family.

Also let me say this, for the 4 hours it took to shoot it. I was thoroughly entertained. I could not think of a better way to spend a rainy day in Los Angeles. Yes, it rained yesterday, I know, right?!

For the second part of the taping I hung with my friend Ken laughing like crazy at all of the hilarity that ensued on the stage before us.

And that's a wrap! The FP gang then posed for cast photos, I took one as you have already seen. Then as an unexpected perk I got to say "Hello" to Melissa Rivers after.

Oh, yeah what about the SAG Awards? What about them? Honestly with Fashion Police the show is the thing, the red carpet outfits are it's accessories.

Watch Margaret Cho, Nene Leakes, Brad Goreski, Giuliana Rancic & Melissa Rivers put some celebrities on the barbie tonight on E! Trust, you won't want to miss this!

The Church Of Chris Pratt

Take Me To Church
Chris Pratt
It's Sunday, and this weeks inspiration comes from The Church of Chris Pratt. Gotta love this hunky, funny, sexy monkey of a guy. I know I do!

He recently took to his Instagram to inspire people out there to keep your dreams alive. Here is what he wrote while filming Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Passengers back to back in Atlanta.

Don't you wish you were Anna Faris?! 


"It's 3:20am. I got picked up for work at 6:45am yesterday. I'm not good with math, especially after being up for approximately 61 hours but I think I've been up for over 77 hours. I did a table read for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 this morning and then shot all day on Passengers and just now wrapped some 144 hours later. Weirdly both films, which i'll be shooting back to back, are being shot in Atlanta at Pinewood studios. We have the best crew. Total rock stars busting their asses. And the stuff we're shooting. My God. I can't wait for you to see it. I go back in in about 8 hours to do more. I am doing what I love. It doesn't feel like work. Even though it is. I'm having fun. I'm overcome with joy and gratitude. I felt like posting this to say to anyone out there chasing your dream... Fifteen years ago I felt the same passion I feel today, but I had very little opportunity. I had to hustle hard and go hungry. I had to eat sardines and figure out how to get gas money. And I never had a plan B. I never stopped believing. Ever. Don't give up. Apply constant pressure for as long as it takes. It will break before you do. Go get it."

Preach!

Gucci, Justice Is A Dog's Best Friend

"A Dog Named Gucci" Release (DVD and Digital on April 19th)
To Coincide With the Release Of the Song "One Voice," 
the Closing Credits Track Featuring Various Musicians (Norah Jones, Aimee Mann, Susanna Hoffs, Neko Case, Queen's Brian May, and more) 
All Lending Their Talents In The Crusade To Stop Animal Abuse

From burn victim to rock star, the story of one dog who changed 
a law and proved justice is a dog's best friend.

Hey all you dog lovers, have you heard the story of Gucci?
Director Gorman Bechard, whose documentary, "Color Me Obsessed, A Film About The Replacements," was named one of "The Seven Best New Music Documentaries of the Year" by Rolling Stone, takes on a rock star of a different sort with "A Dog Named Gucci," a feature-length documentary examining animal abuse laws in the United States.

The film will be released on DVD and digital platforms on April 19th, just days after the Record Store Day release of the film's closing credits song One Voice. The film's anthem song features Norah JonesAimee Mann,Susanna HoffsLydia LovelessNeko CaseKathryn Calder, and Queen's Brian May all lending their talents.One Voice will also be released on digital platforms. Profits from the sales of the song will go to support animal charities around the country. 

"A Dog Named Gucci" is a timely and poignant documentary about a 10-week old puppy who was doused with lighter fluid and set on fire. Hearing the puppy's cries, college professor Doug James ran to help. After chasing away the abusers, and at the request of Gucci's young runaway owner, Doug took the puppy in as his own. Thus began a 16-year odyssey of love, devotion, and perseverance. Together with legislators, Doug and Gucci worked to create what became known as the "Gucci Bill," changing Alabama law, and making domestic animal abuse a felony.

"Instead of assaulting the viewer with images of abused animals, we chose to tell what is ultimately a positive and uplifting story of one victim who went on to become a hero," explains Bechard, who was recently named the recipient of this year's Media Excellence Award from the ASPCA for his work on this film. "This is a triumphant tale. Gucci might begin his life as Blackfish, but he's a fighter, and in the end he becomes Rocky."

The film also spotlights three other dogs who, with their owners, have made an incredible impact on the laws protecting animals. These include Louis Vuitton, from Montgomery, Alabama, the first dog to test the Gucci Law; Susie from North Carolina, who has a felony abuse law named in her honor and was the 2015 American Humane Association's Hero Dog of the Year; and Nitro from Queens, New York whose ultimate sacrifice in an Ohio kennel led to the state's first felony animal abuse laws.

The completely crowd-funded film has an extensive social media presence with 68,000 Facebook fans, and tons of followers on Twitter and KickStarter. There have been numerous sold out regional screenings leading to wildly enthusiastic user reviews on IMDb.

Submit! Kim Basinger

I'm Going To Bridle You In And Make You Submit!
Kim Basinger

It has been a while since we have seen Kim Basinger in a high profile film project. Quite frankly I have missed seeing this ageless beauty who still turns heads at 62 on the silver screen. 

When the casting people for Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey (duh!) were looking to cast "a beautiful older blonde who oozes sex appeal and seduction" as Christian Grey's business partner and former love interest who introduced him to the world of S&M, well who are you gonna call? Kim Basinger!

Translation for all you Fifty Shades fanatics, Kim is playing Elena Lincoln.

Destiny I say. After all Kim played a submissive art dealer in the S&M themed 9 1/2 Weeks to Mickey Rourke's dominant.

Well now she gets to have the upper hand in Fifty Shades Darker.

Take us to your dungeon Mistress Kim
