Sunday Funday!

The Wheel of Fortune
Paris Hilton & Demi Lovato

Seldom do I do the theme day thang here, but when I saw this photo of Paris Hilton and Demi Lovato at Paris' post wedding carnival party on the Santa Monica Pier, well, you know I just had to Sunday Funday!

It's not easy being green, especially when you are trying to blend in with pink and are Ferris Wheel adjacent.

Congratulations to the blushing (?) bride on her nuptials and what looks like one kick ass celebration!

What are you doing for Sunday Funday???

Freedom!


She's Free!
Britney Spears & Sam Asghari


In case you've been taking a Social Media break, Britney Spears is a free woman!

"Yes" her conservatorship is finally over and she can do what she damn well wants, just  like like the rest of us!

That's it that's the post, as I can really add nothing in terms of commentary on this monumental occasion.

Enjoy your weekend 😎

"My Own Worst Enemy"


Listen to the trailer HERE and Revisit Their Iconic Video HERE

Rocking their way out of SoCal into the national spotlight in the late 90s, Lit (original members Jeremy (lead guitar) & brother Ajay Popoff (lead vocals) and bassist Kevin Baldes) were part of the Orange County explosion that included No Doubt, Sublime, Blink 182, The Offspring, Korn, Sugar Ray and more. Now entering a brand new chapter as a band with all original members (original drummer Allen Shellenberger died  from brain cancer in 2009), their iconic song, “MY OWN WORST ENEMY” is being lauded in a major way with a four part documentary style podcast about the seminal track produced for Round Hill Music by Osiris Media. Listen to the trailer for My Own Worst Enemy, The Podcast. Presented by Round Hill Music  HERE

 

Imagine writing a track that: 

*has over 200 million streams on Spotify

*has 44 million views on YouTube

*was #1 on Billboard Modern Rock chart for 11 weeks

*was named SONG OF THE YEAR by both ASCAP & Billboard

*is The most broadcasted, covered & karaoke’d rock tune in the past 20 years

 

If you've lived on Planet Earth at any point over the last 21 years, you've most certainly heard “My Own Worst Enemy.” For the last two decades, the song has been inescapable. You’ve heard it on the radio, in the supermarket, at restaurants, weddings, and most definitely, karaoke bars. It's the song that everybody can sing along to, sometimes even if they don't know the name of the band. But how and why did My Own Worst Enemy become permanently woven into our pop culture consciousness? 

 

Over four episodes, we explore the impact that this iconic track has had on music and pop culture and the enduring legacy of the band Lit. Conversations with the band and musical peers like Butch Walker, Adrian Young of No Doubt, and Noodles from the Offspring, as well as label executives, radio hosts, professional songwriters and musicologists tell the story behind the seminal song that has been in constant rotation since its release in 1999My Own Worst Enemy. the Podcast. Presented by Round Hill Music will be available beginning November 23. With new episodes running weekly through December 7.

 

A vast array of artists View Here  including A Day To Remember, Charlie Puth, Wallows, A Thousand Horses, Dustin Lynch, All Time Low, Zoe Kravitz, Michelle Branch have all covered the song, while Post Malone performed it on Instagram Live as did Kelly Clarkson HERE and Jimmy Fallon on his late night show HERE. “My Own Worst Enemy” truly transcends being categorized to a specific musical genre as is witnessed with its instant appeal not only to fellow punk and rock bands, but by country and pop artists.

 

In addition, twenty-one years after the release of their award winning mega-hit song, “MY OWN WORST ENEMY” topped Billboard’s Modern Rock chart for 11 weeks it has now been certified double platinum, even though it was never released as a stand-alone single until two years later  when fans could buy it as a track on iTunes.

Ghastly headed lake dwellers, discuss

I can't name a single reason why anyone would need an AR15, how about you?

People Magazine named Paul Rudd the Sexiest Man Alive for 2021, nailed it!

I stand with Big Bird

Ryan Reynolds uses his Mom's Netflix account, the more you know

Hump Day & Chill

Jared Is That You?!
Jared Leto

With all the buzz surrounding House of Gucci and Jared Leto's transformation in it I thought we should take time today to Hump Day & Chill to what a beautiful specimen of a man he actually is.

Jared is quite the looker physically. Pretty blue eyes, handsome face and a rockin' bod. Trust me it's even better in person. "Yes" I spied Mr. Leto at the gym one time a spell ago, it was real and it was spectacular!

His beauty however is not merely skin deep. He is a sensitive guy (note his performance in Dallas Buyers Club) who cares about others and the world around him. Not to mention he has a balls out sense of fashion most other men don't and it works.

OK, I'm not gonna gush anymore, I think you get the idea. So on your mark, get set, it's time to Hump Day & Chill to the one of a kind Jared Leto...😎

That's correct Minions I'm gonna hit the mat at Hollywood Forever Cemetery this ayem and re-charge my chakras (say that three times fast.)

Since visualization is part of the process here's some Man Candy from me to you.

About Last Night...

Things That Make You Go Hmmm...
l-r
Chris Rock, Pete Davidson & Padma Lakshmi

Bear witness with me if you will of this courtside image of a threesome consisting of Padma Lakshmi, Pete Davidson & Chris Rock last night at Madison Square Garden for the New York Knicks game.

From the looks of it Padma shot the trio. 

Public events always make for strange bedfellows and this is one of the more interesting grab bag of celebrities to ever co-mingle in the same space at the same time.

However here's the real question: Which one is Davidson dating???

Now this quandary is going to be ingrained in your brain for the rest of the day...you can't un-think it Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Happy Monday! 😜
