Reviewing the Emmy Awards Show
The Emmy Wards were not terrible. But they were not great either. The reason why the Grammy Awards racks up over 25 million viewers, like twice that of the Emmys, is because the show itself is interesting…or more so…due to the sheer fact that there are performances. I have to agree with Defamer on half [...]
Reincarnation: Are You Up For It?
There is a fascinating article in today’s The New York Times Style about reincarnation. I guess reincarnation is a style issue. Questions raised are: What to wear in your next life? Or better yet, What did I wear in my last life that I can correct in this one? The article begins with a psychiatrist, [...]
Dancing With The Situation And Bristol Palin
Now that’s a coupling made in heaven. One desperate, unwed, teen mother, Bristol Palin, who uses the media to compete with her skanky ex-baby daddy, Levi Johnston, coupled with The Situation, a Staten Island goombah who is the most talked about character second to Snooki from MTV’s Jersey Shore. Coupling? Yes…because they will both be [...]
Jennifer Aniston: Next Steps
The papers are trashing Jennifer Aniston for her newest bomb The Switch, which you could have seen coming a mile away by the premise alone. Who walks around with the sperm intended for the hoo-ha. Your biological time clock is ticking…what’s with the celebration before the fact? Hurry up girl…shove it in. Here’s how the [...]
Lions & Tigers & Bed Bugs…Oh My
What in tarnation is going on in New York City with all these bedbug outbreaks? It used to be that mice and cockroaches were the big evil that plagued our city, but bed bugs? Really? I am breching (vomit in Yiddish). Bedbugs have been discovered recently in theaters, clothing stores, office buildings, housing projects, [...]
Juliette Lewis @ Williamsburg Music Hall
It is not often that I go to Brooklyn. Yes, I know how cool it is…and perhaps how cool I am not. Did I say that? Anyhoo, Juliette Lewis has been on a worldwide tour for her new album Terra Incognita. Her schedule reads like that crazy movie title from the 1960’s If It’s Tuesday, [...]
The Mosque At Ground Zero…Oy…Update
UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY’S UPDATE: Triple Oy! President Obama is (kind of) back peddling from his statement in support of the mosque at Ground Zero. I have a feeling that the mosque will not end up at that location after all. This has turned into a national obsession, has opened Padora’s Box of Racism, and has [...]
Steven Slater…Toodles
Nothing, besides that friggen mosque, has gotten more attention by the (clearly bored) media than the valiant stewardess, Steven Slater. Look, I am sure in his delusional mind, he had good reason to throw a hissy fit and jump out of the plane through the emergency slide. We all hit our limit at work where [...]
Eat, Pray, Love, Cringe
We all think that our lives are meant for the pages of a book. Come on…admit it. And if you can’t admit that, then surely you have considered your workplace as the setting for a hilarious sit-com. Don’t lie to me. We all have delusions of grandeur and relax, you are not alone. I read [...]
Alan Cumming Visits IMW-TV
Alan Cumming paid a visit to IMW-TV for a lively conversation about life, love, Harold and Maude, Shakespeare and Josie & the Pussycats. I meet Alan years ago at Carrie Fisher’s house soon after his Tony Award winning stint in Cabaret on Broadway. We had a mutual friend that neither of us talk to anymore…due [...]
Gay Marriage = Gay Divorcees
Congratulations California…you can now do it. And when I say it, I mean take that leap of faith that straights have been doing for centuries by getting married….like Bethenny Frankel. To be clear though, with marriage comes divorce. Here is a happy statistic: 50% of all marriages will end up in divorce. Before gays go [...]
Chelsea Vs. Bristol
Let’s compare the daughters of the royal families of our two political parties. The Democrats have The Clintons while the Republicans are stuck with The Palins. In this corner we have Chelsea Clinton who is educated and sophisticated and over there is Bristol Palin, a loose-lipped (and otherwise), press whore. This summer, talk of matrimony [...]
Speaking Of Social Media Climbers…
Kanye West, in his desperate valiant effort to comeback from his loose-lipped, Taylor Swift mishap last year at the MTV Video Music Awards went right to the heart of the Social Media Climbers Paradise…the offices of Facebook. Look, the guys is smart. He’s not gonna just work from the periphery, rather, he used his [...]
The View On Obama
So Barack Obama is going to be a guest on The View. That is more than interesting. Surely, this was David Axelrod’s idea. Considering how down the line Obama’s ratings have gotten and while I am at it, Axelrod’s recent outing on the Sunday talk shows was less than stellar. Yup, it is time for [...]
The 11th Commandment
Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of Elizabeth Taylor In Vain
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Fifteen Commandments, as depicted in Mel Brooks‘ History of the World Part 1, there were five commandments that never saw the light of day. (Watch this short clip to learn about this little known biblical fact [...]
Lindsay & Shirley
Sung to the tune of Laverne & Shirley
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Shapiro, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated. She’s gonna do it.
Give her any chance, she’ll take it. Give her any rule, she’ll break it. She’s gonna make her dreams come true.
Doin’ it her way.
Will she go, won’t she go. I have a headache. [...]
IMW-TV Goes To LeBook
Here’s an informative look as to where the business of imagery is going. I set up camp at LeBook Connections this season to ask the industry leaders where they though moving images versus print was headed. There were several riveting conversations, and all of which meant that things are ever changing…yet, somehow staying the same. [...]
Mistresses Anonymous…The Interview
A few months a go I wrote a piece for The Huffington Post called Mistresses Anonymous. The inspiration for the article was in response to an item in Page Six about Jamie Jungers, the first in a series of hookers from Tiger Woods fame. Anyhoo, the gist was that Jamie was trying to hook up [...]
BP To Plug Mel Gibson Next
Did you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to make you go mmmm? Far be it from me not to have an opinion on just about everything in today’s headlines, mind you. The Gulf Oil Spill is finally capped. It seems like that saga has gone on longer that than the War [...]
I Wanna Go To Modeling Camp
“Mommy, Mommy, please, please.” Can you just imagine the amount of whining going on in the households of tweenagers across the U.S. when they discover that there is such thing as Modeling Camp? I am even pining to go. What fun would that be? Daily walk-offs, applying lipstick, vomiting…I’m there. The reactions from the readers [...]
I Caught The Bouquet At A Gay Wedding
It is not often that I go to a gay wedding…you can count them on one hand. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. The idea of gay marriage resonates more for the gay community at large than for me, though I support it wholeheartedly. Just not sure whether it is something for everyone. Not [...]
Hannah Montana: Rest In Peace
Today’s article in The New York Times Style about Miley Cyrus is reason one to celebrate the passing of Hannah Montana. The article quotes Percy Hamm, some 11-year old who is disenchanted with her recent risque behavior. When asked about the Vanity Fair pictorial, she said, “I don’t know what was going on in her [...]
Can Lindsay Lohan Bounce Back?!? Of Course.
Crushable called me to chime in on the whole Lindsay Lohan debacle. And a debacle it is. I think that judge was a little heavy handed with Lindsay. There were enough evilinas wishing her hard time, whereas, rehab was what I was hoping for her. Well, guess the evilinas won this round. But as to [...]
Alexandra Richards Bares All For French Playboy
Fashion photographer Tony Kelly recently shot Alexandra Richards, daughter of Patty Hansen and Keith Richards for French Playboy. The Barcelona based lensman was tapped to shoot Alexandra for French Playboy on stands any day now. I MEAN…WHAT?!? also featured Lindsay Lohan’s first ever nude pictorial for Muse magazine…remember? Always a nudie, never a nude.
