Why would she release new music video on VHS ?

Nicole Scherzinger as Norma Desmond? Yes, There’s a Connection. - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM It’s been cathartic to “create art from places of torment,” the singer-actor said ahead of the opening of “Sunset Boulevard” in London.

I recall reading on another message forum not too long ago that standing O's in America started in 1981 when the iconic celebrity Lauren Bacall came to B'way to star in "Woman of the Year" after a ten year absence (1970's "Applause") . It was at a time when "older actresses" were thought past their prime in Hollywood movies, so there was always a home for them on the Broadway stage - and the audience enthusiastically welcomed them back. As more and more actors and actresses returned to B'way (Lena Horne in 'The Lady and Her Music' was around the same time) the more and more popular the standing O became (which legend doesn't like to look out and seeing a standng O ?) ...by the 1990s it was just standard practice to give a standing O to everyone.

If I had to listen to 70,000 people singing every word to 3 hours of live music, I would ask for all my dimes back. I don't pay to go to concerts to hear the people sitting around me sing - I go to hear the artist sing.

I think you mean the music video channel VH1. And to answer your question - it would be great if she did. She spent a great amount of time and expense on the three videos she did do back in the 80s ('Emotion', 'Left in the Dark', 'Somewhere') and each one played out like a mini-movie. Her eye for detail and perfection was obvious in each of them. The only other person I can think of from the 80s who spent so much time and money on each music video was Michael Jackson - and his videos also played out like a mini-movie, not a video. Both artists knew the medium they were working with at the time.

Michael Chiarello, a celebrity chef and former Food Network star, has died. He was 61. Chiarello passed away over the weekend at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, California. He was being treated there for the last week for an acute allergic reaction that led to anaphylactic shock, his company Gruppo Chiarello shared in a statement obtained by The Wrap. The late chef's family also confirmed the news per the publication, "We deeply mourn the loss of our beloved patriarch Michael. His culinary brilliance, boundless creativity, and unwavering commitment to family were at the core of his being. He brought people together through the joy of shared meals, fostering lasting memories around the table." Chiarello opened his first restaurant, Tra Vigne, in Napa Valley in 1987. Over the years, he greatly expanded his reach, opening various restaurants across the state of California, generally focusing on Italian-style cuisine. He also ventured into winemaking in 1999, opening Chiarello Family Vineyards, followed shortly by his own brand, Napa Style. His television career began with his first series, Season by Season, which ran on PBS in 2000. After hosting two more series with the network, Michael Chiarello's Napa and Michael Chiarello's Napa: Casual Cooking, he moved to Food Network for Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello, which premiered in 2003. The following year, he also premiered NapaStyle on the Food Network's sister network, Fine Living Network.

Ahhhh -yes! I know this competition. Never knew it was called OTEV. In any event, Jag won the HOH and hasn't decided what to do with it. He wants to take down either nominee and they can 'backdoor' Cameron, but as it stands now - Bowie the Barnacle is considering backdooring Cory instead.

Let us not forget the photos from the magazine - never before published by photographer Richard Avedon (cover photo was taken on April 1, 1970 while the other photo was taken in 2018 ).

Streisand's 992 page memoir is less than month away from being released (November 7), and the November issue of VANITY FAIR (out October 17) has an excerpt from it.

"Vincent" by Don MacLean (although the Jane Olivor version gets me every time, too).

Who is Otev ?

Thank you for the quick response! Lyonne and Judith Light (for her appearance) - definitely Emmy-winning worthy.

Sorry, but "DJ Play a Christmas Song" is rather underwhelming. At 77, she needs to reinvent herself again. She's been 'vocoder Cher' for the past 25 years. I did enjoy her duet with Rosie O'Donnell on 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' from 'A Very Rosie Christmas' in 1997(?). I'm curious as to what this duet with Darlene Love will sound like. She does a duet with Michael Buble (yuck) - 'Home'. I'm curious as to whether that's the song from 'The Wiz' (and it it is, Diana Ross' 1978 recording has set the bar for that one).

"Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogleberg. Then again, I'm not sure if there's a song he has written and recorded that hasn't gotten me emotional listening to it.

Currently, I'm finishing up Season One of 'So Help Me Todd' which premiered on CBS last season, and was renewed for season 2. I DVR'd the whole season and started binging it on / off the past few weeks. Has anyone else watched this ? I've been a fan of Marcia Gay Harden for a while, and found her very entertaining in this - though she tries too hard at comedy and sometimes fails in delivering her lines. I never knew who Skyler Astin was before, but damn ! He gives me an instant boner whenever he's on screen - a great comic actor, too. The writing is clever (some episodes are misses, though) the supporting cast suffices - makes for an enjoyable hour.

Barnacle Bowie Jane has decided to put up Felicia and Cirie for nominations. What a wasted HoH. Cirie has checked out of the game since her son was voted out - so now she sits around like a lummox. Why get rid of her this week ? She should have put up Cory and his beard, America.

Has anyone watched the British documentary "Abercrombie Guys: The Dark Side of Cool" which premiered recently on Panorama ? Unfortunately, it's not available in the US at this time. I read reviews from British viewers who said that doc is 100 times better than this one on Netflix. Thoughts ? Does anyone know how anyone in the US can access it (any good free VPN proxy to share?) ?

After hearing so much about this show, I started watching this in March - April. It was my intro to Natasha Lyonne, and I fell in love with her - what a talented actress ! I wonder if this show will pick up any Emmy Awards ? Does anyone know if any of the eps were nominated in any category ?

Each morning I... Tumble out of bed And stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawn and stretch and try to come to life Jump in the shower And the blood starts pumpin' Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin' For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Bryan Fuller, the creator of shows including “Hannibal” and “American Gods,” was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of sexually harassing a fellow producer on an AMC docuseries about queer horror. Fuller is accused of making constant references to masturbation, engaging in casual bullying, and creating a hostile work environment. The plaintiff, Sam Wineman, alleges that Fuller also repeatedly held him from behind to “crack his back,” during which he would press his penis against Wineman’s buttocks. Fuller and Wineman are both gay. They worked together on the series “Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror,” a four-part docuseries that was released on AMC’s Shudder streaming service in 2022. Bryan Fuller Accused of Sexual Harassment on Set of Queer Horror Docuseries VARIETY.COM Bryan Fuller, creator of "Hannibal" and "American Gods," is accused of sexual harassment on the set of a queer horror docuseries.

yup (and that 'yup' should be 'yes').

Finally - the corpse known as "Mercole" got booted out and the other corpse Bowie Jane (who laughs at fart jokes, even though she's pushing 50) is HoH. It took to the end of the game for anyone to notice them. Has anyone noticed Matt is getting pudgy in his face and developed acne that not even TV makeup can cover up ? And he no longer walks around shirtless ? And can Cory get rid of his teenage mustache that looks like a caterpillar ?

You talked about being uncomfortable with the unattractive guys in the pool, and then you said you were the only hot guy 'in the place'. Logic dictates 'place' referred to 'pool'. If you were referring to the hotel itself as 'place', and you were the only hot guy staying there - that's even worse. Why would you even spend half a day there if you were that uncomfortable ? Many excuses you could use to leave without any fees.

So why did you choose to go into the pool naked ? If you saw the pool was filled with unattractive men, why didn't you turn around and leave ? Maybe go at another time ? Why make your time KNOWINGLY uncomfortable ? I mean whenever I survey a situation to socialize, and I see I'm not going to be comfortable (and I'm not just talking a naked pool with gay men: I'm talking holiday gatherings and other events, as well) , I turn around and leave. It's happened many times in my adult life. Life is too short to knowingly subject yourself to this.

I like to slowly peel the clothes off the escort / masseur which I hired - especially if they are built. They seem to get very excited when I do this, rubbing my hands slowly over their arms, chest and torso. By the time I'm ready to take off their underwear, they have a full erection (and that wasn't there when I started). I've done this with professed straight friends, too - and if they let me go all the way, I get the same result.
