EVENING NIGHTCAP: Madonna's Side Hustle (ha ha). Tina's Statue Is A Nightmare. Emma Looks...Odd.

 

► Madonna (67) is getting in on the grifting education game by offering an online course for $30.00 / a month. The course, "The Mystical Studies of the Zohar" is a master class taught by her and some dude at the Kabbalah Center. Um, okay. The name of the class is better suited as the working title for movie mash up of Ghostbusters & Big. Wasn't Zohar the name of the carnival machine in Big? Anyway, Madonna will share the wisdom she's accumulated over the years about Kabbalah, such as the proper shade of red to use for the string bracelet and how to tie it correctly. Actually she said, “I hope this course inspires people to ask more questions about life, and how they can make a positive impact on the world."  The only question I want this course to answer is why she keeps spending money on lousy plastic surgery.  Read More 

Comment: According to a press release, "she wants people to enroll so they can accelerate spiritual growth and manifest your higher purpose". That last part had me cackling coming from someone who still thinks she's 21, has had more failed relationships than I have Dave & Busters game tokens, and dates men who still get carded at the liquor store.

► The city of Brownsville, Tennessee which was Tina Turner's hometown, unveiled a statue to honor the late singer. Not since the fiasco of the Amy Winehouse statue has a piece of public art united the public to unleash a shit storm of criticism of how an icon was depicted in bronze. The 10 ft tall (3.0 meters) abomination depicts the legendary Tina Turner wearing a "wig" that resembles a bowl of spaghetti that exploded in the microwave as she grimaces like Cristiano Ronaldo posing for a mannequin challenge.  Read More

Comment: If I was a taxpayer of the city, I would demand a refund. The city probably paid the artist millions of dollars to create this crap. It's hideous! Poor Tina, she doesn't deserve this.

► In today's "Oprah, Who's This", Emma Stone (36) left fans scratching their heads a recent Paris Fashion Show with her new appearance. Her new face had me wondering: what in Invasion of Body Snatchers hell is going on?  I thought it was Lohan at first. I had to take a second look...and up, it's Emma. Her eyes have that Jocelyn Wildenstein BOGO special about them. Judge for yourself. Read More

Comment: I have no idea what's going on with her appearance. Is it lighting? Bad makeup? An allergic reaction to French cuisine? Whatever it is...make it stop.
