  1. She seems like the type to walk all over any 'real friends' she's had.
  2. That's interesting. There is a free over-the-air network called LAFF-TV that is owned and/or operated by Disney. They play only product with a Disney (and subsidiary) connection, and they play the old ROSEANNE Show (ABC) relentlessly. Minimally two hours a day, but probably a lot more. If they drop that show, I'd be impressed.
  3. I still haven't seen one word about any of this from the two critics' darlings on the show - Laurie Metcalfe and John Goodman.
  4. I have to give credit to Matt de Iturriaga, who runs the events in LA. Not only is he built, handsome and hot, he is a very engaging MC with a very professional announcer's voice and demeanor. (He really should be up on stage stripping, but that's another matter.) He is the one who sends out the weekly emails with the show announcements, and, on top of everything else, he has a very entertaining writing style. Many of his weekly stories involve the seemingly endless behind-the-scenes chaos involved in each show. He writes blind items about various dancer's behaviors from the previous week and much of it is extremely obnoxious behavior. I really don't know how he puts up with some of those guys. It's pretty much impossible to guess who he's talking about on any given week, but the stories are frequent enough that it would make me be hesitant about engaging some of those guys beyond a lap dance. (Not that I personally have much luck with that.) I always assume the more outlandish and obnoxious stories he tells are generated by the hottest guys.
  5. There was a great, campy TV Movie in the early 1970s called WOMEN IN CHAINS, with Ida Lupino as a sadistic warden of a women's prison. It uses absolutely every women's prison cliche in the book - with a straight face. It probably even includes a GLBTQ subplot. Great fun. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067996/
  6. On me - in my pocket.
  7. My current (rental) car beeps when I get out with the engine turned off.
  8. My main crush Matt Guttman isn't a weather man per se. He's covering the volcano because it's a major news story. And looking hotter than ever!
  9. I never really liked this show in its original run, but I will definitely be checking this out!

    Plane tickets

    Whenever I use Kayak, it clutters up my screen by popping up pages for Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline and all the rest all at the same time. Invariably, they all have the exact same prices for the flights I'm interested in. The last time I booked, I had better luck going straight to the airline's own websites.
  11. Is it so hard to close a car door that we need automatic closing doors now?? We now need a push button car starter instead of a simple turn of a key? Talk about first world problems. I wish manufacturers would quit 'fixing' things that aren't broken.
  12. Another feature that no one asked for that I could do without - when I turn the car off, I'd like the radio to go off, too. That would be an easy indicator as to whether you remembered to turn the ignition off or not. I don't need the radio to keep playing until I open the door and exit the car.
  13. My beef with the fob is that you don't need a key to turn the car off. That makes it too easy for me to leave the fob in the car and thus vulnerable. With a key turn off, it's a swift, automatic action for me to take the keys out of the ignition and put them right into my pocket. With a fob, I invariably leave the fob in the car after I exit the car, then I have to return to the car to retrieve it...wasted time. And I HATE carrying big chunky cumbersome things (like fobs) in my pocket.
  14. I don't own a keyless car, but I rent cars frequently and it seems ALL recent cars are now keyless. I HATE them! The car I have right now honks every time I close the driver's door whether it's running or not. And the car is so silent it is impossible to 'hear' whether it is running or not. I just can't get used to the big fat cumbersome fob. It's so easy to leave it in the car when you exit - something I would NEVER do with a key. I dread the day when I have to buy a new car because I know having an old fashioned key ignition won't be an option. I have always kept a spare car key in my wallet; that's gotten me out of a jamb several times. I won't be able to do that with a fob. I'm not the least bit surprised by these carbon monoxide deaths and I wouldn't categorize them as Darwin Award worthy.
  15. Episodes is a very funny show, and Matt is great in it. Very much worth checking out. They decimate the behind-the-scenes world of sitcom production - so much so that I was surprised to see LeBlanc settle in to the routine sitcom he's in now on CBS.
  16. I cannot stand the word 'naw' or 'nah' for 'no'.

    The Death of Stalin

    Same here; excellent flick!
  18. Yet another score for ABC News...Zachary Kiesch.
  19. I never heard about Lucy not liking Katharine Hepburn. One of the bios said that Lucie Arnaz named her daughter after Hepburn out of admiration for her career. It was said that Richard Burton hated working with Lucy so much that he made a point of trashing her in his autobiography and the people in Lucy's orbit tried to prevent her from seeing or hearing about that book. It's funny when you think how, for all the many big name guest stars Lucy had in all of her series over the years, her character always fawned in tongue-tied adoration of any and all movie stars. The real life Lucy bowed to no one. In a way I admire that.
  20. About ten or more years ago it was announced that Charleze Theron would be starring in a biopic about Dusty Springfield. That obviously went nowhere.

    Triston Ford

    Any intel? https://rent.men/TristonF
  22. Hopefully he'll fuck the arrogance sitting in the White House.
  23. I watched the third episode and didn't laugh once. The show feels so 'written' - every line is a zinger. Every line sounds Whitney Cummings-esque. And the acting is abysmal across the board, including John Goodman and the hallowed Laurie Metcalf. Now that I know they've brought back the annoying Estelle Parsons, I'm done.

    Damien Stone 411

    I find him very hot looking and when I learned of him I sought out most of his porn video scenes. Pretty much every performance was tepid at best. (A lot of that I blame on the way most studio porn is filmed and edited these day.)
  25. Honorable mention to a new discovery (to me), Boris Sanchez on CNN...
