  1. Oprah Winfrey is parting ways with Weight Watchers after nearly 10 years on the company’s board of directors.

    The company says that Winfrey told the board this week that she would not stand for reelection at the company’s next annual meeting, set for May 9. Winfrey has been a board member and a public face for Weight Watchers since 2015.

    The company says that Winfrey will still continue to work as a public advocate on behalf of weight health and obesity issues, including co-hosting an event together in May. It also says that Winfrey will donate all her shares in the company to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

    Winfrey disclosed in December that she was using a prescription drug to manage her weight. According to the terms of her agreement with Weight Watchers, “Winfrey will not grant anyone but the Company the right to use her name, image, likeness or endorsement for or in connection with any other weight loss or weight management programs during the Strategic Term, and she will not engage in any other weight loss or weight management business, program, products, or services during the Strategic Term and for one year thereafter.”

  2. Red Lobster tried opening in my area (Southeastern New England) about thirty years ago, with three restaurants. They obviously didn't do their research correctly, as we have enough seafood restaurants in a variety of price points all over the state - all locally caught, fresh fish. Who would want to go to RL and get a freezer-to-fryolator dinner ?  Within a few years, they all closed. 

    Olive Garden also tried moving into our state as well as Spaghetti Warehouse. Again, aside from seafood, our other #1 cusine is Italian - being a heavily Italian state. We have a plethora of Italian restaurants in every price point on every corner. I believe there's only one OG left - near a college campus. The Spaghetti Warehouse closed in less than a year. 

  3. They want pecs like Becks.

    New York City surgeons are seeing a surge in men seeking to have their nipples reduced in size — and David Beckham is their aesthetic inspiration.

    The soccer superstar’s small, symmetrical, “almond-shaped” nips have cashed-up men forking out $5,000 for a procedure to perfect their pecs.

    “People want David Beckham’s nipples,” Dr. Marc Everett, a plastic surgeon on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

    Dr. Elie Levine, who also has a practice in the same swanky neighborhood, says he’s now performing the procedure once every two weeks — up from a handful of times a year.

    “It’s definitely a growing trend,” he declared, saying he’s also heard men saying they need their nips to look just like Beckham’s.

     

  4. Actor Robert Scott Wilson was previously on the soap 'All My Children', and then joined 'The Price Is Right' as one of their (often shirtless) on-stage male models. He then joined 'DOOL' in 2014.

  5. Playgirl Magazine, which ran a print edition from 1973 - 2016, is making a comeback of sorts in a digital format of the magazine. The Spring edition will feature the actors of 'Days of Our Lives', which has been confirmed by Playgirl as well as some of the actors. Robert Scott Wilson, Eric Marstolf, Paul Telfer, Christopher Sean and Bryan Dattilo have been confirmed as the models. The photo shoot took place this past week.

  6. Move over masseurs - now we can get a happy ending with our haircuts ! 😜

    Quote

    At the risk of sounding “naive,” one gentlemen recounted his experience of going to a sexy barber and getting a little something extra. “I went to a barber in the gay part of town who offers ‘happy haircuts,'” he explains, “which were advertised as the barber would be in his underwear and give a little hot towel/neck massage treatment at the end.”

    But this haircut was about to get a lot more happy: just like in a Curb Your Enthusiasm bit, this poster ended up getting a hand job at the end of his touch-up, and while it wasn’t exactly unwelcome, it did come as a surprise.

  7. There's a well-known RM/Masseur who lives in my town but also travels around the country frequently. I've hired him a once or twice years ago, and he was just 'meh' for me (he has a great muscled body). Anyhow, for the longest time he advertised as '29' then bumped up to '35' a few years ago. In actuality, he's going to be 50 next month on St. Paddy's Day. I know for a fact because he frequents a business where I work, and needs to show ID for service. I've waited on him very recently (he didn't appear to remember me at all) and recognized him from his ads right away. Believe me, he doesn't look 35. He still has a tight muscled body, though.

    Episode3, the Black and White Ball, is barely watchable.  The jerky camera work is incredibly annoying.  They would never have been able to get a documentary out of that film.  I thought that jerky camera effect had gone out of style.  Pretty lazy cinematography...IMHO!

     

    That didn't bother me too much. Usually it does, but I think for this series it worked well.

    Does anyone know if Hulu will run fewer commercials than FX? When The Feud initially ran on FX there were too many commercials. I guess cable and streaming have spoiled some of us. I watched it later on a streaming service and it was much more pleasurable without the commercial interruptions.

     

     

    I've DVR'd the first two episodes and FF through the commercials. I must say - this is better than I thought it would be. The cast is incredible (especially Hollander, Watts and Lane), the directing fast-paced, and the writing is great (except for a few obvious falsehoods they presented as 'facts' - such as Capote referencing '60 Minutes' to Bill Palley when he first meets him in 1955 - '60 Minutes' didn't come on the air until '68;  one of the characters saying 'she flew in on the Concorde from London to NY' in 1975 - the Concorde wasn't available until 1979).  

  10. Three-time Tony winning actor Hinton Battle died today after a "brief illness", according to his friend, actress Debbie Allen.  "Today, I honor Hinton Battle, my dear friend who left us to dance and sing in God’s Ensemble last night. He fought this battle to live and be creative impacting audiences and young people across the globe. Let us always hold him high in our hearts and in our mind’s eye and forever speak his name."

    Despite heavy promotion, Barbara Streisand’s memoir My Name is Barbra is flopping with readers, having sold  a pathetic 212,000 copies since its release in November. A MAJOR FLOP. Exactly as Bozo had predicted.

    Heavy promotion ? 

    She did the 'CBS Morning Show' on November 5 and 6, for a very brief interview (split into two parts; less than 10 minutes each ) with Gayle King.

    She did a ninety-minute interview with Howard Stern on his radio show, available on Sirius Radio (subscription only) a few days later. 

    She did an interview with Stephen Colbert, a few weeks after the book release, in which he monopolized the whole interview and talked about himself. 

    She did a 'virtual' meet and greet with B&N a month after the book's release, in which one had to buy the book from B&N (in person or online) to get a promo code to the 'private event'. 

    You call that heavy promotion ?

    Meanwhile, a few weeks after Streisand released her memoir,  politician Liz Cheney released hers. The difference ?  Liz Cheney was on just about every morning talk show, every Sunday talk show, every cable TV talk show - even those by 'liberal hosts' (as they acknowledged) where nobody would think she'd ever show up ('The Rachel Maddow Show', 'The View'),  to be interviewed about her book. She made herself accessible to all - didn't do subscription radio interviews, didn't do a private event. She even did a 'book tour' in between, signing copies at local bookstores.

    NOW THAT'S HEAVY PROMOTION. 

    She landed at #1 and stayed there for most of the two months since her book's release.

    However, Mrs. Sudano was known to be a very religious woman, which is probably why the song had one of the fastest falls out of the top 40 (and top 100?) of any #1 song.

    It also had one of the fastest rise to the #1 position at the time - six short weeks. It stayed in the Hot 100 for 15 weeks, achieved Gold status (1M copies sold) on February 11, 1980 and Platinum status (2M copies sold) in 1997. It was the first 12" single to top the new 'Disco / Dance Chart' where it stayed for four weeks.
