My life is back to normal. My dog is happy to have her throne back (her TV chair) since my house guests have left. I always enjoy having family visit me, but it's exhausting. While the pooch is catching up on her binge watching, I toiled to find these nuggets of nonsense for your enjoyment. Happy reading!

► Burt Young, who co-starred in six of the Rocky movies (and in one of my all time favorite comedies "Back to School") has died. He was 83.  Burt was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Rocky (1976). His film work includes Chinatown, Once Upon a Time in America, Pope of Greenwich Village, and Transamerica. Burt was also an author, screenwriter, and a respected painter. His paintings were shown in galleries all over the world. Burt's wife died in 1974 - he never remarried. He's survived by a daughter.

Comment: As an actor, he had a way of quietly stealing a scene, often times without ever saying a word - which is a sign of a gifted actor that can project themselves into any role with their emotions and posture. In the movie "Back to School" he was hilarious as Rodney Dangerfield's side-kick. They don't make actors like him anymore. Burt was humble and never took for granted his good fortune and luck. Condolences to his family. 

►Professional hoaxer and occasional actor Jussie Smollett will be attending an outpatient rehab facility.  No word on what he's seeking treatment for. A statement released by a rep (which IMO is an AI bot) said: Read More

"Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps.”

Comment: I wonder if he's seeking treatment for lying-itis? Eh, whatever. 

► JK Rowling (author of Harry Pothead Potter), doubled down on her bigotry. She tweeted that she would happily do prison time over her views on transgender women. She made the comments as a response to a story in the UK Mail Sunday which discussed the UK's Labor government in Britain could make gender identity attacks a criminal offense. Read More

Comment: JK needs to take her bigotry to the hallow halls of Satan's waiting room where she's forced to watch Priscilla Queen of the Desert on an endless loop. What a vile, narrow-minded, hateful person she turned out to be.

 ► "I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone" is a saying that's associated with actress Greta Garbo, who retired from Hollywood at the age of 36. Greta became a recluse and was rarely seen in public. It seems like Goopy wants to follow in her steps.  In an interview with Bustle, Goopy said that she will "literally disappear from the public eye and no one will ever see me again" when she retires. *insert eye roll*.  She also mentioned she may sell her wellness brand "Goop" in a few years.

Comment: Oh Goopy, don't make promises you can't keep. BTW, you have my blessings to disappear anytime. Now shoo, go away. Let the door hit you on the way out.


► The Opossum (Govt Name: Dean McDermott) was spotted at the Los Angeles airport on a date / dropping off his new ATM girlfriend Lily Calo (yea she's got a name).  In a classy touch, the Deaner kept his wedding ring on while sucking face with his new sugar mamma. Read More

Comment: First, they were spotted holding hands at the LA County Welfare office. And now the LA Airport.  At this rate, their 3rd date / wildlife cam sighting will be at the Greyhound Bus Station. Meanwhile, Tori was seen at Universal Theme park with the 5 kids for a Halloween celebration. Deaner and Tori are such a mess. If this separation isn't a reality show, it ought to be.

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
