See Her
Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot recently accepted the #SeeHer Award at the 2018 Critics' Choice Awards. 

What's the #SeeHer Award you might ask? I'm glad you did because I honestly am not familiar with it either so let's find out together, shall we?

The See Her Award is:

A special trophy that aims to recognize the importance of accurately portraying women across the entertainment landscape.

Obviously there is no one more deserving of such an honor than Wonder Woman herself.

You go Gal!

Girls Seldom Make Passes At...

Are Those Foster Grant's?
Jon Hamm

"Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses" - Dorothy Parker 

Taking on this old adage today and giving it a feminist bent "Girls seldom make passes at men who wear glasses" Well lucky for the guys that wear them I am not a girl, I am a guy who indeed makes passes at men who wear glasses, so there!

Especially if that guy happens to be the delectable Jon Hamm seen here hitting the podium in Los Angeles. 

Jon is one man who knows how to make a suit sizzle and well, makes glasses oh so do-able. Seriously just when you thought this man couldn't get any more manly and sexier he puts on a pair of glasses and now there is a hole in my pants.

On that note T.G.I.F!

Hump Day & Chill

Mr. Sloane I Presume
Chris Carmack

Since I'm feeling randy today I thought I would post something libidinous. Here are many skin shots of Chris Carmack on stage as Mr. Sloane in Joe Orton's play bearing the title Entertaining Mr. Sloane.

The plot goes something like this: An English landlady and her brother like their lodger, a young killer called Mr. Sloane.

"Like" their lodger is putting it mildly if you get my drift and I think you do, if not, think about it, but not too much.

If you are like me most of you first heard of Carmack  when he started playing the role of gay country singer Will Lexington on the TV series Nashville. Chris has looks, body & talent and I would have loved to have seen him portray Mr. Sloane as I think he is perfect casting.

Well thanks to Tye Briggs terrific coverage and un-coverage you can do it vicariously by clicking on the link below via Favorite Hunks & Other Things.

Fluff up your pillow & dream of Chris being your own personal Mr. Sloane. Hump Day & Chill, indeed...

Time to "Sloane Out!"

A Fanatic Heart

Geldof + Yeats = A Fanatic Heart 

A Fanatic Heart: Bob Geldof On W. B. Yeats

2 DVD / CD set coming February 9th

Includes Bonus Tracks from Bono and Elvis Costello

"Geldof speaks with such intelligence that he brings out the strength of the great poet's verbal music. This was the perfect tribute." - Clive James, The Guardian

"One of the best literary docs I've seen." - James Walton, The Spectator

Musician and advocate Bob Geldof examines the life and work of one of the 20th century's greatest poets, William Butler Yeats. A Fanatic Heart is the extraordinary story of revolution, nation-birth, mythology and disillusion and how one poetic genius dreamed and sang an entire country into being from the ravages of poverty and famine and into the raw dawn of a modern state.

With over 30 unique performances of W. B. Yeats' epic poetry by leading Irish and British cultural figures, Geldof argues why Yeats and his circle built the cultural scaffolding of a modern, pluralist Ireland but was pushed aside by the narrow-minded Catholic elite of the new Free State - the "Banana Republic" that Geldof in turn rebelled against half a century later.

Written by Geldof and biographer Roy Foster, this incisive and moving documentary features readings by celebrity contributors Sting, Noel Gallagher, Elvis Costello, Edna O'Brien, Bono, Van Morrison, Shane MacGowan, Olivia O'Leary, Liam Neeson, Stephen Fry, Dominic West, Richard E. Grant, Bill Nighy, Anne Enright, Colin Farrell, Ardal O'Hanlon and many others.

EXTRAS:

* Over two hours of additional commentaries and readings by dozens of celebrities 

* Two songs based on Yeats' poems by:

-    Bono "Mad as the Mist and Snow" *previously unreleased

-    Elvis Costello "A Drunken Man's Praise of Sobriety"

* Yeats Remembered soundtrack by Pete Briquette [30 mins]

* 73 poetry readings and 23 discussion pieces

Paint It Black

Gal Gadot

Last night's Golden Globes were underwhelming at best, yeah there were a few great moments, but for the most part... However Hollywood did deliver on a rumored promise that all the stars would be wearing black to make a statement against sexual abuse in the Entertainment industry and beyond. 

The red carpet was black last night in what proved to be the most intriguing part of the awards show.

In solidarity, today I am running photos from the event of stars in their finest black. #TimesUp  #MeToo

On With The Show...

Getting "Red"y
Seth Meyers

Tonight Hollywood's biggest party, the Golden Globe Awards turns 75 - that's right folks the GG's are three quarters of a century old. To celebrate this milestone they got themselves Seth Meyers to host.

Even though I believe the only nominated film I have seen this year thus far is I, Tonya most likely I will watch them as the show tends to be entertaining because of it's spontaneous moments that one does not usually see on the tightly orchestrated Oscars.

Also I love seeing the women decked out in their best and worst gowns. Daring fashion viewing is a calling of mine. 

Without further adieu, let me leave you with a list of the nominees...go Golden or???
