Happy Leap Year!

Lady Gaga & Sexual Assault Survivors
@ The Oscars

Yes, today is that day that happens once every four years another day gets added to the shortest month of the year, February 29th, Happy Leap Year!

After what will go down in history as one of the worst Oscar telecasts ever, I felt a need to reflect on the best moment of the evening. Lady Gaga performing her song that addresses the issue of sexual assault Till It Happens To You. 

Not only did Gaga give a knock out performance, she was bravely joined on stage by actual survivors of sexual assault. This song was robbed of the Oscar in my opinion giving it to Sam Smith for an anemic Bond Theme instead.

Then another piece of Oscar magic happened Brie Larson who won for best actress for Room hugged each and every one of those who took a stance with our Lady on stage as they exited. Check out the video below.

Have a terrific February 29th, you won't get this day again for another four years!!!

Oscar Tribute: It's Raining (Naked) Men

Naked Oscars & This Year's Host
Chris Rock

Every year my friend Tye Briggs does an Oscar tribute on his Favorite Hunks blog to the nominated Actors and some past winners, who have bared it all on screen. Which seems quite fitting since the award statue itself is essentially a nude dude with a sword.

This year is no exception. Tye offers some sharp writing to accompany the libido charged images. 

I have already checked it out and for those of you want something unique in your Oscar coverage I offer you this option.

Christian Bale, Sylvester Stallone, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy to name a few, are showing off their bodies for your viewing pleasure.

To all you lovers of naked men, happy Oscar viewing!

And The Oscar Goes To...

Does anyone out there really care who wins the Oscars anymore? I know I don't, but it is fun to watch the spectacle that accompanies it. 

Below are 7 Things my friends at E! think you should know about the Oscars. I will re-iterate for those who may not be in the loop, that I really have no passion for covering award shows, thus I re-post whatever catches my fancy.

Of those 7 Things the two I am personally excited for are Chris Rock Hosting and of course the musical performances!

Here are E!'s top 7 Things, enjoy the show!

1. Rock the Boat: For weeks, fans have been speculating as to what Chris Rock will say and do when he host's tonight show. The guessing games only continued when he posted a tweet Friday with the words, "See you Sunday…#BlackOut #Oscars." Will the #OscarsSoWhite controversy be addressed? Watch what happens!

2. Thanks Academy: This year's producers are trying to make acceptance speeches a little more engaging. So what's their plan? Nominees were asked to submit a list of the people they'd like to thank. Those names will then run across the bottom of the screen while the winners fill this 45-second maximum time requirement.

3. Leo's Time: From the SAG Awards to the BAFTAs, Leonardo has been able to pick up the Best Actor trophy all season long thanks to his role as frontiersman Hugh Glass in The Revenant. After six Oscar nominations over his career, this has to be his year, right? Before you place your bets, though, don't forget that he's up against Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Michael Fassbender and Eddie Redmayne.

4. Boycott: Because of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, some stars have made it clear that they will not be attending the show. Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and Spike Lee are opting to pass on the event. 

Meanwhile, Selma director Ava DuVernay and Creed director Ryan Coogler are opting to attend a special event in Michigan titled #JusticeForFlint.

5. Red Carpet Magic: Ryan Seacrest is back on the carpet with a front-row seat to all the gowns, tuxedos and fashion for tonight's show. During Live From the Red Carpet, the pro will be chatting with all the big stars. Giuliana Rancic, Kris Jenner,Zanna Roberts Rassi and Ashley Graham will also be close by to dissect all the hot looks.

6. The Weeknd's Big Weekend: Three of the five nominees for Best Original Song have been given the opportunity to perform their songs live at the Dolby Theatre. Audiences can look forward to Sam Smith's "Writings on the Wall," The Weeknd's "Earned It" and Lady Gaga's "Till it Happens to You." In an added twist, The Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl will also be on-hand for a "special performance."

7. A-list Alert: If you're favorite Hollywood star isn't nominated, that doesn't mean you won't see them at the Oscars. The Academy has announced that familiar faces including Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Sofia Vergara, John Legend and Jennifer Garner are just some of the stars expected to present awards tonight.

Staying Relevant With Cheryl Tiegs

Simply Beautiful!
Ashley Graham

A memory of my youth was the hot selling poster of one Ms. Cheryl Tiegs. Beautiful to look at and very accessible. 

Not sure what has happened to Ms. Tiegs in recent years. While she is still gorgeous and looks amazing, why is she shading plus size models?! OK, we get it, you weren't one, but seriously?!

Cheryl had this to say about equally beautiful Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover model Ashley Graham:

"Actually I don't like it that we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them and your waist should be smaller than 35 inches. That's what Dr. Oz said, and I'm sticking to it."

First off we are all built differently, I personally would like to look like some of the guys in my spin class, but guess the fuck what?  I don't! Oh, and I am still comfortable in my own skin, so there. While I understand where the comment was coming from, models in glass houses should not throw stones. 

Pretty on the Outside
Cheryl Tiegs

Yes, Cheryl I am calling your ass out! You look way too thin, like you could be toppled over with a feather, and you really need a face lift. BTW Ashley is sporting a size 30 waist, ignorance is bliss baby! 

Let's place some bets here, I bet Ashley is going to get film offers too. Well, I feel certain she won't need to appear in anything like "The Brown Bunny" or resort to quoting Dr. Oz to stay relevant. 

Here is your humble pie, I made it just for you Cheryl!

Got "Butthole" ???

Buttholes! Butthole Surfers "Let's Go to Hell" Scattered Memories of the Butthole Surfers by James Burns Finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told... 495 pages, 7x10" paperback published by Cheap Drugs Because life was made for "Butthole"

The Butthole Surfers remain one of the most enigmatic bands in the history of rock music. Most of their records have no information of any kind, and often with the suggestion that you play them at 69 rpm.... They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s, and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of former band members in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they've attracted. Here for the first time is the complete story of one of the most controversial and dangerous bands to have emerged from the ashes of the punk rock movement.  Let's Go to Hell compiles the scattered memories into the first comprehensive overview of the band. Featuring exclusive interviews, tons of rare and unpublished photographs, and analysis of the band's vast recorded (and unrecorded) efforts, Let's Go to Hell finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told... Author James Burns lives in Saugerties, NY with his wife and four children. He founded Cheap Drugs Records in 2000. Let's Go to Hell is the 9th release of the label, and first book to bear the Cheap Drugs name... James been running the Butthole Surfers Anal Obsession archive for more years than he wants to admit. Order: http://outskirtspress.com/webPage/isbn/9780578164397

Heather Langenkamp is a "Nightmare"

French Kissin' in the USA
Heather Langenkamp

While Heather Langenkamp aka Nancy Thompson the erstwhile heroine of a Nightmare on Elm Street bit the dust in a Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors she did rise again in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, a reboot of sorts as the kids say these days. 

Well she's back to be terrorized for your amusement in the horror flick, Home.

We all know that is where the tell tale heart is. But instead of the razor gloved one, she has to contend with this mess: 

Carrie, a young, spiritual woman, is abandoned by her father and forced to move in with her mother (Langenkamp) and stepsister, whose lifestyle conflicts with everything she’s come to believe in. In addition to this test on her values and convictions, Carrie believes the new house possesses evil, paranormal forces. During one terrifying night after her mother leaves on a business trip, Carrie and her boyfriend conduct an exorcism to rid the house of its supernatural presence. But, instead of purging the spirit, they awaken an even more sinister terror that begins to haunt and torture them. Now, as creepy occurrences lead to full-blown terror, Carrie must confront savage forces to protect her little sister and save their lives.
Squishy!
Hey Heather it's time to meet your little sister on March 1st! Yes, that's when it comes out on VOD and DVD.

It's "Alpha Balls" Wednesday...!

Baywatch Bromance
Johnson & Efron

And boy is it ever! Here are some pix of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron from the set of the currently filming Baywatch Movie.

The word is this time around BW is a straight forward comedy, rather than the unintentional one it actually was. It's humor will also be distinctly R-Rated...well that sounds enticing. 

While no one can ever duplicate Pamela Anderson's  iconic run down the beach, this round Baywatch has some serious man candy in the form of Johnson and Efron to compensate. 

Hey, no matter your sexual preference you've gotta admit, these two are 100% Beef!

The former Rock took to his Instagram with this comment about his Co-Star Efron: 

 "#BAYWATCH Day 1. My character "Mitch Buchannon" just gave @zacefron's character "Matt Brody" the all important beach speech about what it means to have manly "Alpha balls". Zac's ad-libbed responses were brilliant! Talented and great dude. World get ready to have some fun, 'cause the beach will never be the same again. #OnSet #BAYWATCH #Day1 #AlphaBalls #NowWhoNeedsMouthToMouth?"

As a child of the 80's I for one am welcoming the comeback of raunchy R-Rated Comedy films. Yeah, I grew up with those. Let's hope Baywatch hits the mark.

Happy Hump Day! Get yourself some "Alpha Balls!"

Ride the Baywatch wave with:
