OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Delectable Dodo Greene!

Image
Greetings, music trollops, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday. Are you still bloated from the holidays? Do you just want to kick back and drink and chillax with a jazz songstress who knows her stuff and can whisk you away to Happyville? Then pay a visit to "Holiday Boink-Boink," the Manor's exclusive pop-up lounge and donut eatery. Tonight only, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing tunes by a cult songstress prized by jazz aficionados worldwide.  Presenting the delightfully named Dodo Greene. She's been forgotten by many, but give a listen: her voice is at once jazzy and bluesy and rock 'n' roll. She almost defies categorization, what with her husky, rhythmic, and always emotive, vocal delivery. In other words, she's an astonishing original. And if that's not worth celebrating, then I don't know what is. Born in Buffalo, New York in the early 1920s, she first turned heads while singing as a tween in her church choir, quickly gainin...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 12/1/25!

Cary can't tell if what he's just heard is a headline from The Onion or just the latest buffoonery he most certainly does not sanction. Neither can we, Mr. Grant. Neither can we.

OPEN POST: "Be Really Careful," is the Word from Arianna!

Image
You guys, stop it! Just yesterday, Arianna Grande told us all to "be really careful" (and no doubt "mindful"), and stop talking about the obvious - that she and Cynthia Erivo are vanishing before our eyes, much like, eons ago, Calista Flockhart and Lara Flynn Boyle were turning into skeletor swizzle sticks. I know you remember.  Only now it's coming to us with a giant heap of "non-demi curious semi-binary" nonsense, which I suppose is the kEwL KiDs way to say, "We're really good friends but don't finger-bang." Or do they? Grande, according to an actual press release on the matter, recently revealed "why she and Erivo like to 'touch each other' so much, explaining that she likes to 'channel support' and 'energy' through her hands...." Honestly, I don't know if these two gals have an eating disorder or not - though if it looks like size double zero, it usually is - but I will definitely be happy whe...

OPEN POST: Hosted by This Breakfast Bill at a Vegas Hotel

Image
  Reddit user redditdanis shared a screenshot of their breakfast bill from a stay at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. I can't decide what's worse: the $40 breakfast consisting of one (1) egg, the gratuity AND tip being added, or the nebulous $10 service charge. Now people don't go to Vegas to save money, we know this. But many people commented on the fact that Vegas used to offer cheap food as a means of attracting people to the strip so they'd gamble more. It seems the tides have turned and less people travel to the destination every year, so the ones who do are squeezed for every penny. Have you ever been to Vegas, Peckers? Would you go now if you could?

Get strapped and gird your loins, hookers - it's Black Friday! Me? I'll be staying in and nursing my post-gluttonous turkey hangover, wishing all you brave, adventurous hors good luck. I'm curious, though - what's the best Black Friday deal you've ever gotten? And do you have a harrowing Black Friday story you'd like to share?

PECKERWOOD AFTER DARK: Something To Be Thankful For!

OPEN POST: Hosted By "Today On Cooking With Brooklyn Beckham": THANSKGIVING!

  If you're American, Happy Thanksgiving. Or as call it, my excuse to wear elastic pants so I can stuff my face. For those of us over the age of 50, the image above will bring back fond memories of simpler times: TV trays, green shag carpet, and parents yelling at you to change the channel because YOU were the remote control. At least I was in my house.  From all of us at PW Manor, thank you for making this little corner of the internet a fun and zany  place to hang out, talk celeb trash, and occasionally do long division.       Happy Thanksgiving!

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Ed Hardy's Fan Boy Got Married. Met Gala/Bozo/Sanchez Controversy Heats Up.

Image
     ► Jon Gosselin (48), ex-reality TV thespian, ex-husband of the original Karen (Kate Gosselin), and fan boy of all things Ed Hardy, got married! The lucky gal is Stephanie Lebo (39), a former beautician. I can see why it's "former: from the pic below. Jon & Stephanie dated for 4 years before he decide to put a ring on it. Only 2 of his 8 kids attended the wedding. He's estranged from the other 6. Jon admitted to using ChatGPT to write his vows because "he don't write so good". Dang...using AI write your vows...that's info I would have kept to myself assuming I was THAT stupid do it in the first place. And, if I was that stupid, I sure as hell would not admit it to ET News & People Magazine. Sheesh. No wonder his ex Kate G was bothered with his breathing. Anyway, congrats to Mr & Mrs Ed Hardy. Hannah's expression below is priceless. Now that's classic IDGAF.   Read More    L to R: Hannah Gosselin, Stephanie Lebo, Jon Gosselin, and C...

Open Post: With Plymouth's Brand-New 1955 Belvedere Wagon!

Image
Is there anything better than driving a mint-new car off the lot and right into your own breezeway? I don't think so. Finally you've got room for your spouse, your kids, your pets and your groceries, all in one vehicle. In 1955 the top movies were "Oklahoma!" (in color and Cinemascope). the under-rated masterpiece "Bride Of The Monster" by Ed Wood, "Lady And The Tramp" (not a biopic of Lana Turner, all rumors to the contrary) as well as the most critically acclaimed and financially successful film of all time, "Female On The Beach." Also, "Rock Around The Clock" topped the radio charts that year, and it later served as the intro for "Happy Days." So put your glad rags on and join us, hon, we're gonna have some fun 'til the clock strikes one! Photo Credit: AK
