You think gossip columnists knew the dirt in old Hollywood? They were amateurs. Hedda Hopper, Louella Parsons — they only wrote what the studios allowed. The real witness was the cat on the lot. Black fur, green eyes, tail like a cigarette trail. He saw everything. He wasn’t on the payroll. No one fed him except the grip who liked to sneak scraps from the commissary. He was just there, perched on rafters, weaving between cables, sleeping in director’s chairs, when the real director stumbled off set to throw up gin. The cat saw producers pawing at ingénues in dressing rooms. He saw directors melt down in bourbon-soaked rants, screaming about art in the middle of a picture that was already doomed. He saw stars rehearse their fake smiles in mirrors before cameras rolled, the grin tightening like a noose once the makeup dried. Every morning, he slinked across the soundstage like he owned it, winding between tripods and boom mics, silent as the secrets he carried. The sound men called him b...

  Here's Jacob Elordi at the 82nd annual Venice Film Festival today. The 28-year old actor joined Guillermo del Toro and Oscar Isaac for the Frankenstein photocall. The film will have a limited theatrical release on October 17th of this year. I know he's not a big hit with the Peckers but I think Elordi is simply gorgeous, and he wears clothes quite well. I bet he doesn't wear them quite well, too.  Source: WireImage

Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent reports from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's report is by Caza86! What is "Fake or Fortune?" It's a wonderful series produced by those unfortunately jagged-toothed British folk starring Fiona Bruce (an elegant, come-to-life Nancy Drew) and art expert, Phillip Mould (yeah, he's kinda sexy). They basically take your memaw's old yard-sale paintings and find out if they're the real thing or done by a slightly soused artist who maybe did a better job. We're talking Renoir, Picasso, Michelangelo, comics, animation, graffiti, even Cindy with the fake eye from your junior high. It's all there. The show gives a mini history lesson in art, as well as an appreciation for the artist. Not just in terms of the squillion-dollar price tags that are used to launder money nowadays, either. I love art, whether it be anime, video games, paintings, drawing, etc. Give me an outle...

Wouldn't you know it'd be a dame?  It's always a dame.  I was sitting in my shabby little detective office on Sepulveda trying to figure out which creditor I could stave off when in walked trouble - trouble being a tall redhead with big knockers and a fanny you could eat lunch off of. She sat down, dimpled sweetly, and cooed, "I'm Lorna, and I have a problem only you can solve." I answered, "If you've got a problem I'm the dick ('40s slang for detective) for you." She relaxed and put her feet up: "Fatal Instinct," courtesy of MGM UA She told me, "I've got a plot of land in Brentwood and I don't know how best to maximize my profits on it." After taking a gander, I suggested, "Maybe the erection of a big skyscraper would be the best thing for your plot." That seemed to excite her. She said, "But my acreage has always been residential.  Would such a big erection be legal?" I replied, "Trus...
