I'm Going To Disneyland!

Lupita Nyong'o
"First trip to #Disneyland!!! #myfirstears. Mummy, this is for you! #d23expo @disneystudios," 

Oscar winner for 12 Years A Slave Lupita Nyong'o had quite the weekend. Like a virgin she went to Disneyland for the very first time.

Flashing a big smile for the camera Lupita proves the Magic Kingdom is the happiest place on earth.

She was also the unofficial Queen of the D23 Expo promoting her upcoming projects from the House of Mouse: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Jungle Book and The Queen of Katwe.

Wow! No wonder she took a ride on Space Mountain!

Try A Little "Tenderness"

Tenderness of the Wolves

I like my serial killers rare...

Fritz Haarmann, aka the Butcher of Hanover and the Vampire of Hanover, was a German serial killer responsible for the murders of two dozen boys and young men during the so-called 'years of crisis' between the wars. His case would partly inspire Fritz Lang's M, and its central character portrayed by Peter Lorre, as well as this forgotten gem from 1973. 

Tenderness of the Wolves treats the viewer to a few weeks in the company of a killer. Baby-faced and shaven-headed, in a manner that recalls both M and F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, Haarmann is a fascinating, repulsive figure. Using his status as a police informant to procure his victims, he dismembers their bodies after death and sells the flesh to restaurants, dumping the remainder out of sight. This isn't an easy film to watch, but it certainly gets under the skin... 

Produced by Rainer Werner Fassbinder (who also supplies a shifty cameo), Tenderness of the Wolves provided two of his regular actors with a means of expanding their careers. Ulli Lommel - later responsible for the infamous video nasty The Boogeyman - made his directorial debut, while Kurt Raab wrote the screenplay as well as delivering an astonishing performance as Haarmann.

Ladies Who Lunch

Let's Do Lunch
Lady Gaga & Jane Fonda

I love coming across photos of two stars who paths you would never imagine crossing enjoying a moment together.

This week the prize for my favorite goes to the legendary Jane Fonda and the amazing Lady Gaga.

Both were on hand to give out money at the annual Hollywood Foreign Press Association Grants Banquet held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Fonda & Gaga reportedly stole the show, and it is fitting that these two bigger than life personalities should engage in conversation and a photo op together.

Fonda is back in full force with her hit show Grace and Frankie with Lily Tomlin on Netflix and Gaga in the upcoming season of AHS, American Horror Story: Hotel.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall for the sound bites exchanged between these two!

The End Of It All: John Tejada

It's The End of it All with John Tejada, Not!

The End of it All? Hardly it is only the beginning....

The End of It All, released in 2006 on Palette Recordings, is one of the most iconic John Tejada songs ever produced. It is instantly recognizable and has been played by top DJs of different genres the world over. Selling thousands of copies on vinyl, it hit #2 on the Beatport Overall Chart as well as garnering a lengthy stay on its Classics Chart. It’s been imitated, covered (unauthorized), and until now, only one official version was ever released. There have been multiple unreleased versions over the past 9 years, including a version Tejada performed at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with a 100-piece male chorus ( GMCLA) in the summer of 2010. 

The new 2015 mix originated as part of Tejada’s 2015 live hardware set that he has been touring around the globe. “Reactivation” and “Sheven” are two additional new works featured on the B side, which also originated from his 2015 live performances. They showcase Tejada’s strong sense for the dance floor. “Reactivation” is the result of a Casio CZ-101 and Roland TR-909 locking into a strong bassline-driven groove. “Sheven,” named for its use of a Roland SH-7, features a sickly sounding riff with punchy 909 drums.

This new release of The End of It All will continue to ensure the track's legacy as one of John Tejada's most valued classics. 

The new mix is out, now!

Talk About Bum Cakes

Sharon Stone at 57!
Mark Abrahams/Harper's BAZAAR

"I'm aware that my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks" - Sharon Stone, Harper's Bazaar Magazine

One of my favorite actresses and boundary pushers Sharon Stone suffered a serious cerebral hemorrhage in 2001 - Thus resulting her marriage at the time falling apart and loss of the custody of her son Rowan. When she walked out of the hospital she didn't recall how to read which makes acting way more difficult since there are lines to be memorized.

She could not even remember her lines during her guest stint on Law & Order: SVU.

That did not stop the Stone from staging an epic comeback that includes her interview in Harper's Bazaar with a nude, that's right nude, photo shoot.

Sharon looks amazing at 57, and by the way your ass is looking more rock hard than like a bag of flapjacks, just sayin'!

Glad to have you coming back I've missed me some Sharon Stone.

If This Doesn't Scare You...

Get him out of here. He broke Stevie!
Lily Rabe

The most titillating piece of casting news from American Horror Story: Hotel was announced this week and it's insane, literally.

Lily Rabe is set to portray serial killer Aileen Wournos who will be the center piece of the AHS two part Halloween episode. Boo indeed!

Rabe will be amazing as the mentally unstable prostitute who killed her johns.

Charlize Theron won an Oscar for her portrayal of Wournos in Monster, I smell an Emmy for Rabe with this casting.

I already love Halloween and this gets me even more excited for the most wicked time of the year...!
