Meat Loaf, with a side of music...the perfect combo!

If you watch TV, read magazines, listen to the radio or browse the web, chances are you’ll be seeing and hearing Meat Loaf in the coming weeks. To celebrate the release of his highly-anticipated new album Braver Than We Are(available Sept. 9 in Europe and Sept. 16 in the US and the rest of the world), the Grammy Award-winning musician and acclaimed film, TV and stage actor will make appearances on numerous TV shows, including NBC’s TODAY and AOL Build on Sept. 12, Fox & Friends on Sept. 13, ABC’s The Chew Sept. 14, Oprah’s Where Are They Now, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, The Big Interview with Dan Rather, PBS’ Metro Focus, CNBC’s Closing Bell and many more, as well as multiple shows on SiriusXM and The Alan Colmes Show on Fox News Radio. Additionally, interviews with Meat Loaf will appear in upcoming issues of People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Closer Weekly and Parade Magazine, as well as on Billboard and Huffington Post.

"People won't believe us but we're more excited about this album than we were Bat 1 and I'm thrilled to be finally sharing it with the world," Meat Loaf stated.

In a career spanning over four decades, Braver Than We Are is Meat Loaf’s fourth album featuring songs exclusively written by Jim Steinman. With a painting featuring Meat and Jim together for the first time gracing the cover, the album hearkens back to the hugely successful Meat-Steinman collaborations Bat Out of Hell (1977) and Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell (1993), which together sold over 67 million units. Braver Than We Are is a testament to Meat’s artistic rapport with Steinman. The songwriter’s strikingly vivid style matched with Meat’s incomparable talents not to mention his wit and grandiosity, results in the two successfully connecting with audiences on an epic scale. 429 Records will release Braver Than We Aredigitally, on CD and vinyl in Europe on Sept. 9 and the US and rest of the world on Sept. 16.

Like A Virgin, Eva Longoria

Eva In Charge
Eva Longoria
It's September 1st already can you fathom that?! We are at the final four months of 2016, September to December flies by quick, always...and you know what that means, Christmas is drawing nigh!

Let's kick off the month with a photo of Eva Longoria directing an episode of Jane The Virgin in Los Angeles. Yep, Eva is like a virgin directing her very first episode of the CW show, but not directing for the very first time.

Eva is smart, that's one of the things I have always liked about her. She is aware her acting career has a shelf life and has set herself up for continued employment beyond it. 

She looks as good in a director's chair as she does on camera. Happy beginning of the end peeps!

PS: I'm assuming that is the back of Gina Rodriguez's head in the foreground

Look At Me, I'm In "Terror Toons 3!"

One Of Many WTF?! Moments in
Terror Toons 3
OK, everyone knows I am a writer, sometimes on occasion I have also been known to act. Well if you look at this still from Terror Toons 3 and look real hard you can spot me portraying an ER Dr. Kidding you don't have to look too hard I am the one not wearing a surgical mask bringing up the rear, of course I am the unsanitary one, ha!

Most likely I was so scared I forgot to put it on. Excuses, excuses, excuses...I am punished for my negligent behavior, just wait till you see how the evil Dr. Carnage offs me in quite a violent way. So for any of you out there who wanna see me killed by a homicidal cartoon, well here is your chance!

This horror flick is one wild and crazy ride, I had a blast seeing the finished product at the premiere. So what's it about exactly you say? Check out the synopsis here:

Picking up exactly where the original left off. This 3rd installment tells the tale of Cindy and her little sister Candy fighting the good fight with the help of their friends against evil Dr. Carnage and his abominable sidekick, Max Assassin. Enter the darken, kaleidoscope colored world of the cartoon dimension where anything is possible. Where everyone is subject to a blood splattered crazy cartoon death. The one, the only GODFATHER OF GORE: Herschell Gordon Lewis stars in this truly original cult masterpiece. Herschell narrates the classic tale of the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood as written by the wild and unpredictable Director, Joe Castro. Not for the weak at heart or those with a sensitive stomach. TERROR TOONS 3 is a shocking, gore filled blood epic.

Trust me you ain't seen nothing like it, Joe Castro has one off the wall imagination, prepare yourself to be entertained!

Because she can, can, can...

World-renowned singer/songwriter/entertainer Dolly Parton has a worldwide #1 album to celebrate this week. The superstar’s new release Pure & Simple debuts at #1 not only in the U.S., but, also on the national country charts in Canada, U.K. and Australia.

Dolly’s 43rd studio recording and the first release of her recently-announced joint venture between Dolly Records and Sony Music Nashville, achieves #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with first-week sales of 20,000 units! This marks the first time Dolly has topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart in the 25-year history of SoundScan.

The new album which released August 19th on Dolly Records/RCA Nashville lands the #11 slot on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart with a first-week total consumption of 21,000. On Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, the disc debuts at #1. In the UK, Pure & Simple enters the all-genre album sales chart at #2, behind Frank Ocean’s Blonde.

Upon hearing the news, Dolly Parton, who co-produced and wrote every song on Pure & Simple, enthused, "Boy, it's a good day for me. I am a happy girl!" She continued, "It feels great to be #1 as it's been a long time and it feels so good to still be in the game after all this time."

Remarked Doug Morris, CEO, Sony Music Entertainment, “Congratulations, Dolly, for your stunning debut with Pure & Simple.You put your heart and soul in this album, and we join you in celebrating a long-overdue #1 on the country album chart.”

“I thought it was a magical time back in 1981, when I first started working with Dolly as we set up her Best Little Whorehouse album on RCA, right after her huge hit, ‘9 To 5,’” reflected Randy Goodman, Chairman & CEO, Sony Music Nashville. “I spent a week with her on the RCA jet visiting radio and retail all over the country.” Goodman continued, “But, to be reunited with Dolly and have a #1 debut is wonderful. Thank you, Doug Morris for bringing Dolly back to RCA.”

CTK Management CEO Danny Nozell said, "There is nobody more deserving of this tremendous success. Having worked with Dolly for the past 13 years, I have never met any person that works harder than her.” Nozell added, “She is a businesswoman that understands her brand and knows exactly what to do and when to do it, and once again, she proves it with a #1 album."

Last week, Dolly Parton made appearances on NBC’s Today and Tonight Show, among other TV shows.

Spears Slays

It's Britney Bitch!
Britney Spears
While scanning MTV Video Music Awards coverage, which seems like an oxymoron at this point, online as I didn't watch them last night since I was otherwise engaged. I came a cross this amazing looking woman in the most perfect dress that werked for her image and her figure...One Ms. Britney Spears! That's right, It's Britney Bitch!

Now let me make it crystal that I am not a Britney fan, nor have I ever been. That being stated I have nothing against her either. For a woman who has gone through the ringer, who could forget Britney The Dark Ages, and back, I have to give her and her family credit for reclaiming her life and then some.

Mental illness and depression are a tough go, some people are lucky like Ms. Spears and manage to overcome them and or get it under control. Others are not as fortunate. 

Cheers to you Britney you looking happy and healthy may you to continue to live long and prosper

PS Asymmetrical dresses do your body good!

"Bitch Better Have My Money!"

Gangsta!
Erin & Sara Foster
Oh those Foster Sisters, clowning around as usual...this time with money $$$! Hey, you two that is no laughing matter!

At a recent photo shoot the stars of the VH1 reality show/sitcom hybrid Barely Famous, toyed around with stacks of cash like it belongs on a Monopoly board. This time the no holds barred duo have finally done it, they have crossed the line, no one treats money like a trivial object.

What? You say they have crossed plenty of other lines that are much funnier? Well, "yes" they have, and I love them for it!

In case you haven't seen them in action I have provided a link below to catch up with Barely Famous, in the meantime, make it rain baby, make it rain!

Heartthrob John Stamos

Tell It To My Heart
John Stamos
Proving he is still a heartthrob at 53, John Stamos plays a hot doc in season two of Scream Queens, which in case you haven't guessed is set in a, duh, hospital.

Question? Would you let this guy steal your heart? You answered too late, as you can see he already has! 

Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele and the rest of Chanels return along with new comer Taylor Lautner.

Season One of the show started out promising then became a flat out disappointment overall. That being stated being a horror fan of course I will be tuning in to season two, here's hoping they right the previous seasons wrongs.

Can't wait for the premiere? Don't have a heart attack, Scream Queens season two shrieks it's way onto your TV Tuesday September 20th on Fox.
