    ► Sophia Vergara explains the reason for her marriage to Joe Manganiello collapsed like a souffle made by Brooklyn Beckham.  Joe wanted kids...and she did not.  Sophia (51) and Joe (47) were together for 10 years (married for 7 years). In an interview with El Pais, she said: Read More "I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother,” she explained.“I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” she said, adding, “When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do.” Sophia Vergara and Joe Manganiello. Photo: Joe Maganiello Instagram/Page Six Comment: Sophia went on to say the 4 year age difference between she and Joe also didn't help because of his desire to have kids. I respect where she's coming from as far as not wanting to be an "old parent" and her honesty is refreshing. However, you'd think she and Joe

Arturo Telle Thiemann via The Guardian In 2015, underwater photographer Arturo Telle Thiemann was diving near El Hierro, Canary Islands. That's where he met this delightful parrotfish.  After a few distant pictures, little buddy swam right up to him and gave him a toothy grin. Perfect timing, perfect smile.

  Photo: Cellar Tracker.com In the world of cheap wine, there's only one product that staggers to the top of the heap like no other:  Boone's Farm.  This elixir of the gods occupies a special place in gas stations mini marts, liquor stores, and other purveyors of cheap booze. Boone's Farm is the granddaddy who paved the drunken path for others to follow like Four Loko, Mikes Hard Lemonade, White Claw and even my favorite California Coolers (which doesn't exist anymore). Boone's Farm was THE beverage of choice for drunken hijinks. As one would expect, the history of Boone's Farm is wrapped in a brown paper bag of treachery, subterfuge, and savvy business thinking.   EJ Gallo is the maker of Boone's Farm. The company is still family owned and manged by descendants of  Joe Gallo, Sr. and 2 of his 3 sons Ernest and Julio Gallo. The company was started after Prohibition by Joe Gallo Sr. He set out to build a wine empire that would mass produce cheap wine for peop

    ► Another day, another reboot announcement.  The Mouse House (Govt Name: Disney) will be rebooting the TV series, "Wizards Of Waverly Place".  If you're not familiar with the show, it's about 3 siblings who are wizards in training while trapezing the complexities of being teenagers. Those teenage complexities can be tricky - such as making sure the parents don't know about the illegally downloaded porn, picking up a secret vaping habit, skipping school to hang out a outside the mini mart. The original show aired from 2007 - 2012. So far only 2 of the original cast have signed up:  David Henrie and Selena Gomez.  David Deluise (who played the dad) had no idea a reboot was in the works. He was shocked when he heard from fans and his reaction was, "what reboot". Sounds like either Disney may not want him back or he missed an email.  Anyway, no word on what the plot of the reboot will be.   Read More Photo: TheDirect.com Comment: Duh...of course Selena

Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from  filthy  esteemed guest writers. Today's is from Daniel C! I’m a mammal just like you. No, really. Once upon a time, I wore studded belts because Avril Lavigne and Pink suggested my 14-year-old self should do so - and who would deny Avril and Pink, hardcore punk rock legends that they were, such a request? So I get it. A sense of belonging and similarity to our fellow mammals is crucial to every one of us. It’s embedded in our DNA. But what happens when we remove the human component and everything happens online – and we lose our individuality for the sake of being an individual? When your validation comes entirely in heart emojis on an app for that sweet dopamine hit that we all crave? So, yeah, let’s talk about that Stanley cup. When the "news" broke that there was a new shiny object that people are willing to camp in a Target parking lot for at 4am, I was baffled. Were they

Neil the Seal, the rotund ruler of Tasmanian shenanigans, has been waddling his way into the hearts of the internet with his wild antics and bold behavior. This beach boy, who tips the scales at a hefty 600 kg/1,322 lbs, has been living his best life in the coastal towns of Dunalley and Woodbridge, where he's become a local legend and a global sensation.  Neil's list of hilarious moments keeps growing every time he hauls his blubbery self out of the water and onto land. He's been spotted engaging in a one-seal protest against traffic management, a vendetta feud with a police officer, and treating cones like they're pins in a bowling alley designed just for him. Neil feels that the locals should be grateful for allowing them to be so close to a superstar like himself. So what if he decides to camp out on a road and stop traffic. And what's it to the locals if he takes over a porch or two.  His favorite activities are his impromptu yard invasions, where he sunbathes w

For me, I find infinite comfort in the company of my dogs. They are always happy to see and love me no matter what I do or look like; it is pure and unconditional. I could never give them a fraction of the joy they give me. As a designer and artist, I spend my nights often alone except for the company of our pets, who keep the silence comfortable and less lonely. We have very important conversations and cuddles. So many artists I know have pets that they love almost more than people and, in some cases, a lot more than people.  Frida Kahlo and her Xoloitzcuintli(Mexican hairless dog) Lucian Freud and his beloved Whippet David Hockney and his cherished dog                                         Norman Rockwell and his pup companions Francis Knoll and her big furry friend Pablo Picasso and his Dalmatian Diego Rivera and his sweet pup

If someone's always interrupting you when you're dining out at one of Peckerwood many fine eateries, it's usually Dominic The Narcissistic Dog, who can't help but speak over everyone, chatting about his soft-soft paws, his sex life, and his would-be acting career (recently, he was a stand-in for Keanu's pit bull in "John Wick") (as I'm sure he's told you countless times!). And yes, he loves gazing at his own reflection, because of course he does. "Do my ears make me look fat?" he frequently asks. "Should I get them pinned back?" Many of you have asked if Peckerwood's management can do something about Dominic - he's always showing off his butthole for attention at varied Manor clubs, which is just tacky - but alas, we cannot. All we can do is advise you to keep small toys or sticks on hand, since Dominic claims he's "the bestest ever" at fetch. The further you throw, the more relief you 'll get.  Also, t

    Let's take a look at my weekend to-do list: laundry, defrost my freezing ass, and catch up on my trash reading. Since I can defrost my ass while surfing the internet, I found these juicy gems. Have a good weekend! ♦  Our favorite opossum (Govt Name: Dean McDermott) appears to be leaving the roommates he was bunking with when he separated from Tori and is moving in with girlfriend Lily Calo.  The Deaner was seen carrying moving boxes into Lily's residence. The two of them started dating last Fall. As previously posted, their first date was to the Los Angeles welfare office; and from there a romance blossomed. Their second public pap excursion was to the airport. Oh Dean...always the romantic.  No word on when The Deaner and wife, Tori, will actually  divorce. And, no word on why Lily is making such poor life choices.  Read More Lily Calo and Dean McDermott. Photo: Splash News / Page Six Comment: Lily is 32 and The Deaner is 56.
