I thought the glasses used in John Carpenter's "They Live" were just a prop. Now Ex-White House Bitch, Scott McClellan now says that the glasses were standard issue throughout the shrub Whitehouse. It was the only way for humans to tell the differences between the aliens (Karl Rove, Condi Rice, and Ashcroft) and the undead, like Dick Cheney, Barbara Bush, and the lich queen, Ann Coulter.
40 years ago, Charo showed audiences she could do a lot more than her trade mark "Kuchee-Kuchee." The ex-Mrs. Cugat is considered one of the world's greatest flamenco guitarists.
Harvey Korman, one of the funniest straight-men, died yesterday. Whether he was playing the foil to Tim Conway, the heavy in a Mel Brooks movie, or a guest star on a TV show, the man was brilliant. That he often broke character when Conway would make him laugh made him all the funnier. Kormanwon 4 Emmies and 1 Golden Globe. A few of my favorite Harvey Korman scenes...

Marlene Dietrich was an amazing woman. I was never really a big fan until I actually got a chance to see some her in Witness for the Prosecution.. I read her bio on the Diva's Webpage...then I was hooked. Besides being a larger-than-life star, screen goddess, fighter for civil rights, Diva, she was the first woman to receive the Medal of Freedom. She did her own make-up and was also the only actress ever to be admitted to the Film Makeup and Hairdressers' Union. So I saw this scene in a movie...and my jaw dropped. Keep in mind it was from 1930. Jump ahead, if you must, to 2.30 (but you'll miss hottieGary Cooper smouldering smile).
Maybe there's some truth to the rumors regarding Marlene and Tallulah Bankhead. The two had adjoining dressing rooms at Paramount in the early 1930s. Marlene wore gold dust in her hair. Tallulah got some, put in on her pubic hair, showed herself to people and said, "Dahlings, guess what I've been doing."
I have always hearted Heart. That my evil Grimm's Fairy Tale step-father hated Ann Wilson made me love them all the more. Being fellow Seattleites is all the more a plus. I found this video today on youtube and it gave me chills.
But really, if she keeps singing like that, her voice isn't going to last another 35 years!
Can it have been 20 years since we were first introduced to the goddess Lisa Stansfield when she and Blue Zone released the totally underrated "Jackie"? And to think I was only 5 at the time!
"I woke up with you name on my lips. I woke up with your lips on my imagination." Howhot is that????
And a special thanks and a smoooch to JP from Here's the 80's for reposting this as fast as DailyMotion or YouTube can delete it!
A few weeks ago, I came across this beautiful song, "Lost without You" performed by Darren Hayes and Delta Goodrem. Goodrem was diagnosed with cancer on 2003 at the age of 18. Luckily, her cancer appears to be in remission.
Next year she plans to marry Brian McFadden of Westlife fame. They recorded "Almost Here" another gorgeous ballad. Sit back and enjoy.
There have been some sexy guys on Eurovision. There was DimaBilanand Man Meadow. Watch these dudes (Dima from Russia and Man Meadow from Poland/Sweden) again, and you'll know there's global warming.
The song sounds like the theme from the Banana Splits.
We love Cher in Scootersville...and today, we love her just a little bit more. It's her birthday. There have been few artists that have re-invented themselves as much and have sustained such longevity as La Cher. In fact, she has the distinction of holding Billboard's record for greatest length of time between her first and last number one song (if you count her duet with Sonny). Here are a couple of videos for you to celebrate this woman's special day.
I thought this montage of quotes was quite funny.
This version of "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do" sums it all up.
This video posted on youtube by therealmccain.com was one of the most watched videos in the country today. I can't tell if the man is as dumb as president shrub or if he takes stupidity to a whole new level. Either way, watch this and see what you think.
A Blue Moon has a couple definitions. The most common is when two full moons occur during the same calendar month. Another is the Farmer's Almanac version which is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Making sense? No? Well this video has nothing to do with any definitions. It's about, well, um...I can't describe it. It's too bizarre even by Scootersville standards.
Keith Olbermann pretty much sums it up. I don't think even Julia Sugarbaker could have done better.
"...this last piece of advice: When somebody asks you, sir, about Democrats who must now pull this country back from the abyss you have placed us at ...When somebody asks you, sir, about the cooked books and faked threats you foisted on a sincere and frightened nation...When somebody asks you, sir, about your gallant, noble, self-abnegating sacrifice of your golf game so as to soothe the families of the war dead. This advice, Mr. Bush: Shut the hell up!"
Wow, how fast a year flies. This week marks the one-year anniversary of Scootersville. A few of highlights... One of my first posts, "Sorority Girls from Hell"
The music video that drew the most people to Scootersville, "Benny Lava"
My mom is not just my mom...she's my friend, my confidant, my hero. As a single parent family, we were poor. But I didn't know it. Mom always made sure that our home was rich with love. She made sure that we were fed, warm, happy, and loved. While other kids' parents spent money, she spent time. She taught me the real meaning of Family Values, ethics and pride. She not only accepts my partner, she loves him, respects him, and treats him as though he were her own son. While growing up, our home was always the place where the neighborhood's kids gathered. All my friends would say, "You're mom's so cool." I know...she still is.
You may not believe this...but I love to search the web for odd and unusual videos. I came across this little ditty on OMG. It's called Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano. The lyrics are pseudo-Italian-English-Gibberish...but the beat is so contagious, you'll find in lodged in your skull!
If it doesn't load, click here for the another posting of Prisencolinensinainciusol. Keep in mind this song is from 1973, years before disco or rap. It was way ahead of its time...in fact, it still is. Go ahead. listen again!
Tomorrow, Kylie will receive the Chevalier dansL'ordredes Arts etLettres from the French government at a ceremony in Paris. Kylie has been awarded one of France's top cultural awards for her "contribution to the enrichment of French culture".
After a long day of work i began my nightly blog surfing. Donnie as in Famous Like Me, posted an ephervecent photo of the delightful, if not slight whacky Carol Channing. Having seen the Divine Miss Channing perform several times in several differenct venues and several odd, make that very odd chacters, I can't helped but remember her Muffy, I mean Muzzy in Thourouly Modern Millie.
The Wild Wild World of Batwoman was tragic. It invovled go-go dancers, espinaoge, guns, and, um, soup. Try to follow along if you can...and then explain it to me.
To commemorate the anniversary of his Mission Accomplished photo op, president shrub posed in front of his very own airplane. Good thing Laura gave him several quarters this morning!
