Credit: Warner Bros Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have been making the rounds to promote the release of Practical Magic 2 .

She had one cat named Priscilla as a kid and another she fondly named Pinkle Purr. Aww.  She also confirmed that Sandra Bullock cast the cat in the header pic who plays Kidman's familiar in the movie, "purely for vanity choices.....that cat was much more attractive than the cat you wanted" Bullock joked.

Saw this beauty the other day and it looks like a '70 Grand Prix to me. In 1970 there was a ton of great movies, including the smash hit that spawned one of the best TV shows in history, M*A*S*H, and while watching the show recently I thought, "How great was the casting of Loretta Swit as Margaret Houlihan?" She was a foxy, bleached-blond broad with a big mouth, just like Sally Kellerman in the original Robert Altman movie, plus she was always screaming at someone.

Yet they're not forgotten by DJ Li'l Scratch, who's lived many lives, as you know, and has seen and heard so much, and in fact was born with a brood of five wee kittens in the smoky backroom of " The Green Mill Jazz Club."  But that's a story for another day.  Tonight only at the Manor's "Shuck 'Em and Funk 'Em" after-hours lounge and taqueria, DJ Li' Scratch will be spinning tunes by two chanteuses from the "cool jazz" period in the late 1950s through the early 1960s, or tunes with hushed tones, smooth, steady tempos and complex harmonies. First we have Joy Bryan, the epitome of the All-American girl-next-door, don't you think? Yet looks can be deceiving - and all is not vanilla. Joy was yet another one of those terrific, highly regarded late 1950's-era West...
