Grab Hold, It's The Grammy's!

Aladdin Sane x 2!
David Bowie & Lady Gaga

Happy Presidents Day! Which is doubling this year as Grammy Award day as well. Or as I like to call it The Lady Gaga David Bowie Tribute.

Since I really have no drive to write about award shows I went to my friends at E!Online and spied a write-up called "7 Things You Need To Know" about tonight's celebration.

I only found four of them worth re-printing, one of the things I did not include was about Kanye West. Send me Thank You notes later. Here are the Top 4 points of interest that I found worthwhile about music's biggest night! Source E!Online:

It's Me, Gwen Stefani

1. Music History: Just days after premiering her new single "Make Me Like You,"The Voice coach Gwen Stefani will collaborate with Target to produce a music video on live television. Set to air during a four-minute commercial break, the finished product will feature multiple sets and real-time costume changes as well as "special surprises for fans."

2. The Year of 1989: With seven impressive nominations for the evening, fans and critics alike believe Taylor Swift will walk away with an award before the night is over. But in even more good news, the "Shake It Off" singer is opening up the show with a top-secret performance. Now if only we knew if boyfriend Calvin Harris was coming too.

3. Honoring a Legend: Just a few weeks after the passing of David Bowie, the Grammys will pay tribute to the "Modern Love" singer with the help of the one and only Lady Gaga. After slaying the National Anthem at last weekend's Super Bowl, Mother Monster will perform an "experiential" tribute for late rock star, who will also be receiving a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award. "We had already booked Lady Gaga on this year's show, but when David passed—almost in a single moment—we knew we had to change direction," Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement. "We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honor David. She's perfect for it."

4. Hello Superstar: While she may not be nominated this year—don't worry, there's an explanation why—Adele is still expected to attend the show where she will deliver a performance that may just be a tease to her upcoming tour across the country. For all those fans who couldn't score their tickets to the concert in your neck of woods, this may just be your lucky night.

Betty White Is Horny For...Deadpool!

Happy Valentine's Day! Like many of you I saw Deadpool this Presidents Day weekend. Also like those of you who went I was going in anticipation of seeing an irreverent R-Rated take on the Super Hero genre that broke the fourth wall of all things!

So off I sauntered to the best local theater in Los Angeles, The Vista. It has one screen and one fucking movie, thus no need to state what you want to see, just buy your damn ticket and enter. 

Well I truly enjoyed Deadpool, however I would like to give you the best. review. ever. of it's from none other than Betty White.

As you may, or perhaps not recall Betty co-starred with Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, a film which caught my ass by surprise because I actually enjoyed it (romcoms = not my thing in general.) 

White gives the DP "Four Golden Girls" and states "Ryan Reynolds is so fucking handsome."

Gee Betty, horny much? Jump to the quickie review below!

Deadpool, it's what horny & Betty White have in common!

Weekends Were Made For Ryan Reynolds Penis

Want To See Something Really Scary?
Ryan Reynolds

While Deadpool has been getting rave reviews for being like no other Super Hero movie you have ever seen, for it's hardcore R-Rated content featuring a central character with a very dirty mind and an even fouler mouth. 

A few other things have been gathering momentum for this radical vision of a comic book based movie. Namely the appearance of Ryan Reynolds family jewels in a fight scene. it has been confirmed Ryan goes full monty and frees the one eyed snake on the big(?) screen.

Reynolds has this to say about his added exposure:

“There was a lot of me there.There’s nothing else you can do except to just sorta grin, bear it, and go, ‘All right guys, we’re all going to get to really know each other today. I may be sitting on this man’s face at some point, he may be sitting on mine.’ It was ugly but necessary.”

It's about time that Men are getting their due on screen as sex objects. The rise in full frontal Male nudity of late is quite welcome. My prediction, DP will be king of the BO this weekend, like, duh!

Now about that scene where our hero gets pegged with a strap-on...

Here is the link to the NSFW trailer, get it!

Where In The World Is Dudley Saunders?

Where in the world has Dudley Saunders been?! Find out this Friday in Venice, CA....

Here is a statement form the artist:

If you wonder why it's been so long between albums ... the answer is from the other side of my creative life.  Let me come out of the closet about it:

This Friday, February 12, 2pm at Beyond Baroque (Venice, CA), I'll be shooting the pilot for TELLING LA, a new public TV series that brings the live storytelling community of Los Angeles to broadcast.

A cross between THIS AMERICAN LIFE and THE MOTH, each episode of TELLING LA explores one theme through the stories of four diverse Angelenos. As the stories unfold before the live audience, what emerges is a human portrait of a mythic American city.

The pilot episode is HOW I ENDED UP IN L.A., stories of the search for home, and the moment that made these four storytellers realize that LA was where they belonged.

The (remarkable) storytellers are: Antonio Sacre, Maire Clerkin, Trini Rodriguez and Barbara Clark. 

Right now, there are only ten seats still left.  If you would like to be in the audience for the taping - and can stay for all four stories - just RSVP at the link below.
