Because There Is Never Enough Whiskey...

My Guitar Wants Some Whiskey
Kiefer Sutherland

Leave it to Kiefer Sutherland to come out with a song about whiskey, it seems so right.

Check out it and the video below.

Kiefer Sutherland opens his songwriting notebook and premieres the pedal-steeled, country/Americana-tinged “Not Enough Whiskey” video on Rolling Stone Country Monday. “Not Enough Whiskey,” available April 1 on iTunes, is the debut track from Sutherland’s upcoming Down In A Hole album set for release this summer. Sutherland will also appear as a presenter during the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards™ Sunday, April 3 at 8/7c on CBS.
 
Sutherland, who co-wrote every track on the upcoming 11-track album Down In A Hole with producer Jude Cole, including “Not Enough Whiskey,” embarks on a nationwide 32-date tour April 14. See tour dates below.
 
“This record is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal or diary. All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. There is something very satisfying about being able to look back on my own life, good times and bad, and express those sentiments in music. As much as I have enjoyed the writing and recording process, I am experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience, which was something I hadn’t counted on,” Sutherland said of the 11-track album. A track listing and release date will be announced soon.
 
Sutherland, known for his starring role on the Fox series "24," also starred in movies like ‘Stand By Me’, ‘The Lost Boys’, ‘Young Guns’, Flatliners’, ‘A Few Good Men’, ‘A Time to Kill’, ‘Dark City’, ‘Melancholia’ and most recently, a western called ‘Forsaken’ and the upcoming ABC series “Designated Survivor.”

Trusssst In Meeee...Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson & Her Alter Ego, Kaa
The Jungle Book

Normally I don't get too juiced about re-dos of movies. Especially one of my favorites, of which Disney's animated version of The Jungle Book happens to be. This being said I am looking forward to the arrival of the "live action" version of it swinging into theaters this April 15th. The preview looks amazing!

Although I am not quite sure why it is being called "live action" as the only character who is not CGI is Neel Sethi as Mowgli the man cub. Oh well.

One of the things that literally hypnotizes me and Mowgli in the preview is images of Kaa the snake with a spot on vocal performance by Scarlett Johansson. This is one python that could definitely cast a spell on anyone and make them submit to their will.

It sends a chill up my spine when Scarlett hisses: "Trussst in meeee"

Proving that old adage about a "snake in the grass."

Don't say I didn't warn you!!!

Janis Joplin Rules!

"FIERCELY BRILLIANT!" 

-Guy Lodge, Variety

"ENTHRALLING!" 

                                                 -Stephen Holden, New York Times (Critics' Pick)

 

This is going to date me...one of my first cassette tapes was Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits. Which of course lead to Pearl and others. They don't make em' like they used to. I mean the rock stars, not the cassette tapes.

The critically acclaimed, box office smash Janis: Little Girl Blue is coming to DVD on May 6th viaBrooklyn-based film and TV distributor FilmRise. MVD Entertainment Group will distribute the film with exclusive, never-before-seen bonus features.

 

Directed and written by Academy Award®-nominated documentarian Amy Berg ("Deliver Us From Evil," "West of Memphis") and produced by Academy Award®-winner Alex Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side," "Going Clear"), Janis: Little Girl Blue is an intimate portrait of the iconic but troubled rock 'n' roll singer Janis Joplin. FilmRise released the film in theaters in Fall 2015 to rave reviews, and it wowed audiences in over 100 cities across the country with electrifying archival footage, exclusive interviews with friends and family, and rare personal letters from the iconic rocker herself. The film features musicians Pink, Kris Kristofferson, Melissa Etheridge, Juliette Lewis, and Bob Weir, TV presenter Dick Cavett, producer Clive Davis, counterculture filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, and more.

 

The DVD will include bonus features such as an a capella performance from Janis's first band, Big Brother and the Holding Company; footage from Janis's posthumous Walk of Fame ceremony; a fascinating look at Janis's early venues, The Avalon and the Fillmore; and a rare interview with Chan Marshall aka Cat Power, who narrates Janis's letters in the film.

 

Janis Joplin is one of the most revered singers of all time, a tragic and misunderstood figure who thrilled millions of listeners and blazed new creative trails before her untimely death in 1970 at age 27. Janis: Little Girl Blue examines her story in-depth for the first time on film, presenting an insightful look at this complicated, driven, often beleaguered artist with rare personal and performance footage and interviews with friends and family. The Joplin family provided unfettered access to their vaults for the first time, through which Berg unearthed previously unreleased letters, photos, audio and footage of Joplin. The singer's own words tell much of her story through a series of letters she wrote to her parents over the years, never before seen by the public (read by Cat Power). Joplin was a powerhouse when she sang, and her surprising rise and sudden demise changed music forever.

 

Janis: Little Girl Blue premiered at the 2015 Venice Film Festival, and screened at the Toronto and London Film Festivals, as well as the prestigious DOC NYC. The film opened in theaters in November 2015.

Pre-order now at the MVD SHOP or on Amazon.

Think whatever you will about him as a person, you can not deny that Bieber has one fine ass!!!

Recently Justin was shot by John Shahidi on a camping trip standing naked by a lake his full bare backside on display. Which Bieber then posted on his Instagram, of course.

Confession: Gwen Stefani On Sexuality

Be Like Gwen 

With a new album out This Is What The Truth Feels Like Mama Gwen Stefani is making a bold confession about sexuality.

"I would be blessed with a gay son," she told Pride Source. "You know that I would feel blessed about that. I just want my boys to be happy and healthy, and I just ask God to guide me every day to be a good mother because it is not an easy job."

Can I get an "Amen?" Can you believe she actually drew criticism for letting her sons paint their nails?! Seriously everyone get a fucking life! If you focused your concern on what you were doing, instead of tearing apart others the world would be a better place. 

Let's spread love and acceptance, rather than hate and fear. If we did imagine the possibilities it would create in the world?

Whatever Easter Sunday means to you, why not try following Gwen or someone like her as an example?

Make it the day you reflect on yourself and actually think about how you can be a better person and treat your fellow man with more compassion. The world is an inclusive place. Start living in it rather than fighting it.

G.B.F.F. (Gay Best Friend Friday)

G.B.F.F!
Jonathan Groff & Lea Michele

The rumors are true most grown ass women have a gay male best friend. In honor of this I am posting an adorable photo of Glee and Scream Queens star Lea Michele and her GBF Jonathan Groff, who also appeared on Glee as Jesse St. James snuggling in bed together. 

Michele posted the photo on Instagram with the caption: "And suddenly all is right"

Can I get an Awwwwwwwwwww???

Jonathan wrote this about he and Lea's deep bond in Teen Vogue:

"Lea Michele and I have shared some pretty unique experiences since we met. We've simulated sex more than 1,000 times onstage in Spring Awakening. We've performed everything from show tunes to 'Like a Virgin' on Glee. I've watched her sing for the President and accept Billboard's first-ever Triple Threat Award, and I've seen her laugh so hard that she peed her pants,"

Nothing says GBF like having simulated sex I always say. On that note T.G.I.F and have a terrific weekend!
