Greetings hors, and welcome to Monday's Open Post and The Peckerwood Book Club - combined! Can you believe? We can do that, you know. It's allowed.  Meanwhile, take note, in 2026, there are over a dozen active celebrity book clubs and counting, everything from Oprah's long-reigning club to Natalie's Book Club curated by Natalie Portman to TeamTime hosted by Dakota Johnson to Service95 run by DuaLipa . That's a lot of recommendations and a lot of books. Do you take their recommendations seriously? Or are you like Jonathan Franzen, who refused to have his book included as a 2001 Oprah Book Club pick because he found her selections overall to be "schmaltzy" and "one dimensional"? They reconciled a decade later, but the point was made. Book club celebs aren't universally loved, and they aren't always the best pickers. The latter point was made by Oprah (again) when she selected Jeanine Cummins' 2020 novel "American Dirt" as ...

  Here are Brooke Shields and George Michael on a date in 1985. The two briefly paired up after Shields revealed that she had a crush on the angelic-voiced singer while on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Shields reflected on her romance with Michael in her memoir, There Was a Little Girl . She was famously a virgin at the time and believed that Michael was simply respecting her boundaries by moving slowly. Of course it was later revealed that he was gay, but the two remained friends long after their short-lived romance.  They both look so sweet, don't they?

It's 1966 and the top movies of the year are all holdovers from 1965 but that's okay, because they're all supposed to be pretty great: "Thunderball," "The Sound Of Music" and "Doctor Zhivago."   I've only ever seen "Thunderball" in its entirety ( "The Sound Of Music" and "Doctor Zhivago"  were just too long for a kid to watch on a Sunday night before school) and it's a lot of fun. However, I've heard the Ray Conniff version of "Lara's Theme" from  "Doctor Zhivago"  since I was but a wee homo (hey, my grandparents watched Lawrence Welk religiously!). Since it's your '66 Ford Fairlane, you get to decide what we're seeing this evening. After all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK
