OPEN POST: With The Peckerwood Book Club, Plus Celeb Recommendations And Douglas Stewart's "John of John!"!

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 sun is shining, the breeze is, er, breez'ining and you are proudly driving through your neighborhood in your brand-new Pontiac Silver Streak!  1950 was a very good year, cinematically: comedies like "Harvey" and "Born Yesterday" raised everyone's spirits, whereas dramatically the apogee were "Sunset Boulevard" and "All About Eve" (for my money one of the best films of all time). And among the hit songs that year were "Irene Goodnight, " first recorded by Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter, and let's not forget this lovely tune: So take in a movie, or turn on the radio, or just fasten your seatbelts and have a fun, bumpy Open Post, darlings, and a joyous Canada Day!

  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?
