OPEN POST: I Still Can't Believe Marty Won Best Picture Over Oklahoma!

Image
That was a TRAVESTY! And Jerry Lewis as emcee? He was even worse than Bob Hope usually is . Oh well, no point in crying over spilled half and half.  C'mon, hop inside my parents' new 1956 Mercury (it's painted in "2-Tone" colors!) and we can swing by the drive-thru and get a couple chocolate malts and split an order of onion rings while we watch Ed Sullivan. The Five Satins are going to be on, and we can watch and chat and laugh about whatever's going on in our lives at school or at work, just like an Open Post or something! Photo Credit: AK

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Mickey Rourke & Go Fund Me. Loose Lips - Callum Turner Edition.

Image
    ► Mickey Rourke, who back in the 1980's/ 1990's was the Hollywood's golden bad boy, has once again fallen on hard times. Not that I feel bad for the walking wart. When he was at the top of his acting game, he was making a lot of money.But he squandered this talent. Over the years, his behavior and legal issues earned him a reputation for being an A+ jerkwad.  Mickey was recently evicted from the house he had been living at for years. Unbeknownst to him, his long time manager and her assistant set up a Go Fund Me over the weekend to help him. It raised $100,000. When he caught wind of it, Mickey went on a rampage saying he doesn't want charity or needs anyone's stinking help despite being flat ass broke.  He's currently staying at a hotel with his dogs that his manager is paying for. The Go Fund Me was going to help get him back on his feet and to pay for an apartment. But he wants nothing to do with it, so it may be returned to donors. Insiders say he's ...

OPEN POST: Hosted by Kristen Stewart in NYC

Image
Credit: Backgrid Here's Kristen Stewart photographed leaving her hotel in NYC yesterday. It's difficult to guess what the weather was like. Up top suggests cooler temps, while the bottoms suggest a beach trip is nigh. And then there's the hair! Kristen is known for her ~edgy~ style but I find I just don't "get" most of her looks. This definitely falls into that category. What do you think of this look, Peckers?

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Critics Choice Fashuuun. Gayle King Complains *insert eye roll*

Image
  ► Award season (aka celebrity circle jerk) has official kicked-off with the Critics Choice Awards held last night. As most of you know, I hate award shows. First of, there are too many of them. Second, why hand out prizes to overpaid celebs who are doing their damn jobs? If that's how society is going to roll, then every industry should have an award show. I'd like to see awards show for the Janitorial Arts, Pipefitters Union, and American Society for Convenience Store Clerks. Anyhoo, since PW Manor readers are astute connoisseurs of fashion, below are the frocks that grabbed my attention.  Read More Chelsea Handler, host of the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. Photo: Critics Choice Comment: Starting the parade of WTF is Teyana Taylor. She opted with throw everything on to see what would stick. In her case, everything. She went to a Men's Warehouse and hit the clearance rack. Then decided for a bit of Las Vegas charm by tackling a showgirl and running off with a feather boa. ...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 1/05/2026!

Image
Trump Idiot Paste Up Photograph by Freegar Net (Mexico) Political fatigue is not maturity; it’s surrender disguised as self-care. It can feel self-protective. Necessary. The current political and cultural landscape looks like a dystopian hellscape, complete with viciousness, impossible atmospheric heat, and a never-ending despair loop with no discernible end. It is no wonder that this stance, political fatigue, has become an accepted contemporary emotional posture.  We are told, constantly, soothingly, that disengagement is a wise choice. That tuning out is a healthy form of mental health regulation. They tell us that the real danger is paying too much attention. Look away, they encourage. Save yourself. Really. This framing flatters people who yearn to feel evolved, float above the fray, while opting out of responsibility. It is precisely what authoritarian politics feed on. It is the essential ingredient that this dynamic needs to thrive. It requires that the very people who have...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Giggly Alma Cogan!

Image
Greetings music slutinos, and welcome to the first Manor Music post for the new year! It's back to work for many of you today - and I know, blech. Myself, I want at least another week off, but, hey, music can be a vacation, right? No, really, it can. Tonight, at the Manor's exclusive "Bush Diver" after-hours bar and taquitoria, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing just want you need to hear as you start the work week. Something effortlessly light, something to sweep away the drudgery, something with giggles.  How about "The Girl With A Giggle In Her Voice?" That's what she was dubbed in the early 1950s. Behold the chucklesome Alma Cogan, here in her dressing room just seconds before hitting the stage. She designed all of her fetching costumes, by the way. Never once was she seen in the same outfit twice.  I 'm still trying to wrap my noggin around the fact that she was, for quite a long time, the highest-paid female performer ever in the UK (until th...

OPEN POST: How to Have a Low-Key First Week of 2026!

Image
Cancel one thing that you have decided never needs to happen. Eat something warm and delicious at least once a day. Use lamps all week. Overhead lighting is aggressive. Don’t make any major life decisions before noon, and it doesn't even have to be in your time zone.  Wear the softest clothes, even if no one sees you. Let emails sit. Nothing important happens this week. Drink water like it’s part of the new you. May as well start off hydrated. Rewatch something comforting instead of watching something new and laborious.  Clean in 10-minute segments at a time, and then decide whether to continue. Go to bed early at least once without announcing it. Ignore productivity advice entirely. Take a walk without tracking it, even 5 minutes counts. Let the week be awkward. It always is. January is a suggestion, not a mandate. Choose simple food over impressive food. Avoid conversations that start with “So this year I’m going to…” Buy nothing except food, comfort, and things that make yo...
