Just saw this beaut today when I pulled into the nearby Walgreens parking lot, which is not a glamorous area of town. Are those bullet holes? I don't know cars of this vintage very well - I'm more used to 1950s vehicles, with soaring fins and gleaming chromium - but I think it's a 1929 Ford Model A. That's what I'm going with, anyway. 1929 was pretty momentous (Black Friday and the ensuing Great Depression), but not all the news was bad. "Hallelujah," the first Hollywood film with an all-Black cast, was released:  Also, "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" came out and was a gigantic hit. It starred almost every actor on the MGM lot and featured a cheerful little ditty called "Singin' In The Rain."  It's been covered dozens of times, most famously in the 1952 film of the same name, "Singin' In The Rain," possibly the greatest musical of all time. Whatever kind of Wednesday you're having, whether it's sunny as blaz...

    ► I  was going to make this post about the X-rated parade at the Grammys. Frankly, it bored me and it's been talked to death. Chappelle Roan and Heidi Klum cemented their status as tacky, one dimensional stunt queens . Whatever shred of dignity they had ran out the door like a guest at a Dahmer dinner party.  I do want to chat about one item at the event that didn't get the media attention it deserved: Lauryn Hill and the duvet she wore from the Mortia Adams collection. Lauryn Hill hasn't performed live in ages (over 10+ years). Her performance paid tribute to the late D'Angelo and Roberta Flack (who originally sang one of Lauryn's biggest hits). At least Lauryn didn't insult viewers by showing up wearing an eye patch on her cooch and Frog Tape on her nips.  Lauryn opted to dress like she was auditioning for RuPaul pays tribute to mafia queens.   Read More   Comment:  The shitty outfit was a distraction from her performance. Between the duvet...

Here's Margot Robbie at the Paris premiere of Wuthering Heights . She sported a Chanel dress designed by Matthieu Blazy adorned with feathers and silk petals (pictured below). What do you think of this look, Peckers? Are you planning to see Wuthering Heights ?  Photo credits: Chanel & Vogue

  ► The angry Keebler Elf (Govt Name: Ellen DeGeneres, 68) is promoting her "Kind Science" skincare line via the informercial route. Yea, a shameless cash grab for someone with a reported net worth of $500 million. The name is kinda stupid. Kind Science? As to what...Unkind Science? Anyhoo, the line was co-created  in 2021 with Victoria Jackson (the skin care guru and not the ex-SNL MAGA nutjob). When she still had her talk show, Ellen wasn't shy about plugging it to the audience. When she got cancelled for being an angry, mean elf with a Napoléon complex, the product became an elf on the shelf. The new infomercial features Ellen asking people to "come up, buy it" while looking like she lost a fight in a laundromat dryer full of random socks.   Read More Ellen DeGeneres in new informercial for Kind Science.

Greetings, music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with music to keep you warm - even scorching - especially for those if you in bone-chilling, snow-laden lands hither and thon. Did you know? At the Manor, every climate is represented. Just turn a corner on our grounds and it's Fall, then Summer, and so forth. We've got that Narnia-type shit going on (sans closets). But I digress. Tonight, at "Sweating Like A Skerd Gerbil" bar and gourmand nuttery, DJ Li'l Scratch is bringing us a songstress who's smooth with a refreshing spike of 'tude, which is really the best way to describe Marlena Shaw, an unheralded diva who conquered jazz, soul, R&B, disco, gospel and blues, and all with equal aplomb. In other words, she's surfed with the times, from The Apollo Theatre as a ten-year-old phenom, to the present day, where she performed at a major jazz festival in the Netherlands. Some divas never stop. Until they have to. Sadl...

He bungled his big boy takeover of Greenland, his ICE initiative has resulted in two government-sanctioned murders (as of this writing), consumer confidence has fallen to its lowest rating since 2014, and our European allies are fast abandoning us. Is it any wonder that Trump's approval ratings have tanked to historic lows?  Even a substantial percentage of MAGA faithful are wondering when the good times will roll, since tariffs have caused prices to go up in almost all sectors, not to mention the continuing flood of damning, stomach-churning Epstein files. Oh, and Black History Month? "What's that?" says Trump.  This first year of Trump's second Presidency has felt like ten years. If  Democrat politicians don't grow a spine - instead of sitting back and pining for the midterms - then doom is certain. The only amusement we'll enjoy will come from the rest of the world, like Italy, which recently made a home crafts suggestion:

 

The Internet needs to be spanked, because a group of stinky-poos came for Liza this week. But luckily, Liza, glorious legend that she is, snapped back. And it was all because of her new album cover, which troglodytes were quick to say resembled Rhianna's "Girl Gone Bad" album cover from 2007. "Nyah, nyah, nyah," the lesser-thans sneered, acting as if they caught Liza make a major whoopsie (or a major Beyonce) (you decide). But Liza kindly, yet firmly. put them in their place. She knows Rihanna, of course, and “I did a tribute to her ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ with the album art. Some people got it, and some people didn’t! But nobody needed to be unkind. With social media, everyone can be a critic. And I realize people use this space to amplify their voice. To those who defend me when my age, decisions, appearance and art are under fire, I’m very grateful. It takes courage to stand beside a friend when things are difficult. You know who you are. And I love you very mu...
