OPEN POST: Jessica Lange Had to Drive Herself Home!

Image
Celebs: they're just like us! They have to drive themselves home after a long day of work! Jessica Lange recently sat on a panel at PaleyFest and shared that she and her fellow actors had to drive themselves home from the set during earlier seasons of FX's American Horror Story . "We would drive ourselves home at like 4 or 5 in the morning, park on some street in the French Quarter, and find our way home," Lange said. She was presumably talking about season 3 of the show, where Lange played a witch alongside Sarah Paulson, who was also on the panel. Paulson laughed when Lange shared he grievance, and Lange went on to say that FX was "too fucking cheap" to provide the stars with cars or drivers at the time. What do you think, Peckers? Is Lange being a little whiney, or do you see her point? On one hand, lord knows FX could have afforded a driver for the stars and it could easily have been budgeted for. On the other, many normies work 12-hour shifts in hospita...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Danger Girl Film-Noir Music!

Image
Greetings, music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Music Manor Monday, today served with hair-raising peril and moody, heart-stopping music. By the way, have you noticed how DJ Li'l Scratch only appears in black-and-white? Sorry, there's no work around for this, no matter how colorful the setting you may find him in. As a hard-boiled creature of night and shadow, he will always look as if he's just stepped out of a film-noir crime-drama. Hissss!   I've always had a special place in my chilled heart for film-noir (and for  John Garfield , the ultimate dumb-luck hunk). And yet it's not just the skewed camera angles, concealing shadows, tempting femme fatales or nefarious storylines that have pulled me in. The music adds to the fun, and most of it makes for great listening (even out of context). Take Elmer Bernstein's landmark, daddy-o jazz score for 1955's "Man With The Golden Arm, " which is both rhythmic and menacing, a stunning innovation...

Who is September's Shitbag of the Month?

Image
Our first Shitbag contender for September is Ed Sheeran. The famous ginger found himself in very hot water this month after rapper Macklemore expressed his support for Palestine during his opening act on Sheeran's tour. Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette stadium, decried the rapper's statement, claiming it was deeply hurtful to the Jewish community. He and other stadium owners pressured Sheeran's team to drop Macklemore from the tour, which he did. The backlash following this decision was swift. Many celebrities rallied behind Macklemore, other supporting acts on Sheeran's tour elected to drop out, and ticket sales plummeted. Sheeran has not been handling the pushback well: he cried onstage at a concert the other week in Philly and apologized for "making mistakes." Meanwhile Macklemore donated all of the proceeds he made from Sheeran's tour to six organizations supporting Palestine, and he also set up a "Free Palestine" tour which has already sold o...

OPEN POST: The Sunday Roast featuring The Not-So-Great Pumpkin

Image
  Getty Enjoying October, possums? Where I live in the city the colours have only just started, but out in the country where I'm staying this week every tree is a riot of warm-toned brilliance, yellow to crimson and a few lime greens thrown in. And just as the fashions traditionally feature these colours (plus purple, for some godforsaken reason, every goddamn Fall), the local fairs traditionally feature a size queeny competition for the largest pumpkin.  Well, this year in Ontario we are all losers, because the biggest pumpkin didn't win because RULES. Honestly, what person with a functioning soul would discriminate against an innocent gourd like that. So it had a "soft spot." So what? Take a close look.   Jeff Warner Jeff Warner If a pumpkin of proper age wants to get its freak on (with an FBI agent, perhaps) who are we, or the judges, to judge?

OPEN POST: It's 1955 And The Chase Is On!

Image
Saw this '55 Thunderbird the other day, and my gosh it was short (it looked almost child-sized)! Lots of great films in 1955, but one of the weirdest was " The Sea Chase ," starring John Wayne (as a WWII German ship's captain who really doesn't like the nazis too much) and that tramp Lana Turner as a sorta nazi spy who eventually turns out to be a swell egg. It's not a great movie (or even a good movie), and neither star bothers attempting a German accent, but inexplicably it was a massive hit. The only reason to watch this ridiculous film is to see Lana (who never looked Lana'er) looking fabulous in Warnercolor, with not a lacquered hair out of place, and wearing a spectacular gown by Moss Mabry , even as the ship's getting shelled and their future's looking grim. So since it's Wednesday, let's all do our level best to be as idiotically glamorous as La Lana in such improbable circumstances. Someone's a jerk to you at the convenience st...
