Burning Down The Gym
 |
| It's Britney, Bitch! |
Despite the state of the world, pop culture keeps turning. For some reason I am completely fixated on the fact that Britney Spears burned down her home gym (something I wished I had right here, right now honestly.)
I posted the above screen shot with Ms. Spears oh so casual tale of how the fire went down. You couldn't make this stuff up I tell you what.
Basically Brit was mood lighting her workout and things went awry and the gym was on fire.
OK, personally I never mood light anything, not even for sex so I truly can't wrap my head around this. I mean, it's only a workout and really does not involve all this prep, not ever.
Thus I will continue to ruminate on this. The real take away from the incident is: "Just say no to mood lighting"
Mic drop!

Sunday Sinema: The Woman
Not a creature was stirring except "The Woman"
Almost a decade after Lucky McKee burst upon the indie horror scene and became a 'Master of Horror' in the making thanks to his directorial debut May, he teamed up with legendary cult author Jack Ketchum for his most shocking and brutal film to date: The Woman, an instant cause célèbre on its Sundance premiere. The Woman (Pollyanna McIntosh, The Walking Dead) is the last surviving member of a deadly clan of feral cannibals that has roamed the American wilderness for decades. When successful country lawyer Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers, Room) stumbles upon her whilst hunting in the woods, he decides to capture and "civilize" her with the help of his seemingly perfect all-American family, including his wife Belle (Angela Bettis, May) and daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter, Darling). The Cleeks will soon learn, however, that hell hath no fury like The Woman scorned... Experience McKee and Ketchum's uncompromisingly twisted vision of the dark side of the American family in a definitive new edition, including a 4K remaster and brand new bonus features.

Bringing Up Baby
 |
| Oh Daddy! Anderson Cooper |
That's correct Minions for all of you who always thought "Oh Daddy" when you saw Anderson, well now it's not just a euphemism, it's a literal fact!
His first child's name is a tribute to his late parents, Wyatt for his father, Wyatt Emory Cooper who passed when he was ten. Morgan a family name from his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, who passed June of last year.
Even during a pandemic life keeps happening, and we keep living to the fullest day by day.
Wishing Daddy Anderson and baby Wyatt and all of you the best, seize the day Minions!

"We're All In This Together"
D.O.A.'s Joe Keithley takes action on COVID-19 pandemic
by releasing benefit single "We're All in This Together"
Burnaby, BC CANADA - A punk legend / city councillor and local mayor have combined forces to create the seemingly impossible: a COVID-19 rock anthem.
Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and Councillor Joe Keithley celebrate the spirit of our communities and our frontline workers with the release of "We're All in This Together," a passionate, upbeat song for our times.
"Joe wrote this great song, and I hope it energizes and fortifies people to stay strong," said Hurley. "It captures the community's grit and determination that we see all around us today, and calls on us to double down on our commitment to each other and beat COVID-19."
Keithley and Hurley performed the song - with appropriate physical distancing - for a video shot at Burnaby's Deer Lake Park. The song is both a salute to the resilience and perseverance of residents during the COVID-19 crisis and a rallying call:
"We're all in, this together We've got to brave, this stormy weather You can count on us, we're your neighbours We're all in, this together"
Councillor Keithley sings lead vocals and plays guitar for the arrangement, while Mayor Hurley, a lifelong guitar player, accompanies Keithley on bass and backup vocals.
"Writing this song was just a natural as I saw the growing effort by our fellow Canadians to keep as many folks as possible safe throughout the pandemic," said Keithley, who is also the front man for legendary punk band D.O.A. "It's my way of thanking and expressing my admiration for the nurses, doctors and all the front line workers. They are the best!"
Considered a 'godfather of Canadian punk,' Keithley founded D.O.A. in 1978. The band is known for its consistent thread of political activism and its diverse sound rooted in punk rock.
In 2018, Keithley took the band's slogan TALK-ACTION=0 to the next level when he was elected to Burnaby City Council. Hurley, a former fire fighter, was elected mayor in the same election and since then, the two musicians have performed together for a number of charitable events around town.

Michael's Musings
 |
| Vogue??? Michael Shinafelt |
In this week's episode of As The Quarantine Turns it's been Netflix & Chill all the way Minions. Hey, I had to see Tiger King to find out what the deal was. Then there was the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Grace & Frankie and Santa Clarita Diet... and many more to come.
Thus I bet you can tell you are headed for a lot of opinions this week, oh yes you are!
My take away from Tiger King? Carole Baskin totally knows what happened to her husband and had something to do with it.
That Geico commercial with Ratt makes me laugh every time I see it
I burned my last F#ck a fortnight ago
Santa Clarita Diet is off the wall fun! You haven't lived until you've seen Drew Barrymore biting a guys fingers off!
"We can't always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it" - Unknown
Has anyone ever tuned into an Instagram Live and thought: "That was worth it?"
A random marker of time, anyone?
The less said about the Jane Fonda/Lily Tomlin starer Grace & Frankie, the better
Woman Crush of the Week - Cherie Currie her star studded solo album "Blvds of Splendor" is out now. Order it here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/blvds-of-splendor/1506715461
If there's one thing worse than Chlamydia, it's Florida
Whatever joke you are telling the punchline should be: Flan (Yeah, it's an inside joke, sorry, not sorry)
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a lot like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Edgy, dark, funny, topical and smart 😈 "Yes" that is a recommendation.
Must all things be filled?
