Calling all hepcats! DJ Li'l Scratch is layin' down some swingin' tracks at the Manor's "Pork Sword" lounge tonight. But first, have you seen the 1980's sitcom "It's a Living?" If you have, then you know about "Sonny Mann," the comically boorish lounge singer played by Paul Kreppel (in a performance that used to annoy me, though now I find it oddly endearing).

Kreppel had to have been lampooning Buddy Greco, at least vocally, a fantastic Vegas lounge singer who surely originated the phrases "Who loves ya', baby!" and "Ring-a-ding-ding!" and "The meatloaf's fantastic! We're open all night!"

Heck if I know, but hop in and get over here, these nachos are delicious and while we're eating, you can tell us all about your day--after all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credits: AK

Jessica Lange recently sat on a panel at PaleyFest and shared that she and her fellow actors had to drive themselves home from the set during earlier seasons of FX's American Horror Story . "We would drive ourselves home at like 4 or 5 in the morning, park on some street in the French Quarter, and find our way home," Lange said. She was presumably talking about season 3 of the show, where Lange played a witch alongside Sarah Paulson, who was also on the panel. Paulson laughed when Lange shared he grievance, and Lange went on to say that FX was "too fucking cheap" to provide the stars with cars or drivers at the time. What do you think, Peckers? Is Lange being a little whiney, or do you see her point? On one hand, lord knows FX could have afforded a driver for the stars and it could easily have been budgeted for. On the other, many normies work 12-hour shifts in hospita...
