   As we give the middle finger to the shit show 2025 has been, let's toast 2026. Happy New Year! ► Donna & David Silver (Govt Names: Tori Spelling & Brian Austin Green) combined their Z-list superpowers in hopes of achieving D- celeb status with the plan to host a party at The Venetian in Las Vegas. The event was billed as, "90s After Dark Party". A very fitting name. Who would want to be seen in broad daylight with those two. Also joining Donna & David in trying to recapture their long lost celeb status was the group, Color Me Badd. Coincidentally, the event was to have taken place on what would have been Donna's & David's 25th wedding anniversary on Beverly Hills 90210. But...things didn't go as planned. With a little over a day's notice, the event was cancelled due to Tori having health issues. Awwwe. BAG didn't share any comments about the cancellation. He was probably busy putting away his parachute pants.   Read More   Comment: ...

Full disclosure: I have no idea if I got the year or even the vehicle right but it was so beautiful I had to take a pic, and as far as I'm concerned it's a '72 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, so I'm going with it. Lots of big, important stuff happened in 1972 , and the biggest song of the year was this masterpiece: Whether it's the first time you've ever seen someone's face, or even if they're killing you softly with their song, killing you softly...with their song, happy Open Post and a very, very Happy New Year in a few hours, darlings!

  ►An inside source is saying that Asshat Ashton Kutcher (47), "is desperate to make a comeback and revive his image". He's hoping his new FX series, Beauty, will be the vehicle allowing him to sit at the big kids table again. Ha, ha...good luck with that.  Ever since Ashton and his wife, Mila Kunis, wrote a letter of support for convicted POS Danny Masterson, the couple has been shunned, like a hooker at a Tupperware party. Not helping matters is Ashton's past close ties with ANOTHER convicted ahole, Sean "Diddy" Combs. As reported by the The National Enquirer (hey, don't knock it...they were considered for a Pulitzer Prize) a resurfaced interview of Ashton in The Hot Ones hasn't helped. In the interview Ashton, "admitted there were “a lot” of stories from Diddy’s infamous parties that he could not tell." Of course he can't tell. That would make him part of whatever f**kery Diddy was doing. It also makes Ashton guilty of having his th...

Vintage magazine ad, 1934 As the year winds down, some of us naturally slip into a period of reflection: thinking about what worked, what didn't, and what we might like to change for the impending new year. For others, January 1st feels like just another day on the calendar.  I would love to hear where you land. Do you have any special rituals around NYE? Are you making any resolutions for 2026? Please share below!

    ► MTV, which was a huge part of my formative years, is shutting down all musical programming channels on December 31. Welp, 2025 has been a shit show, so I'm not surprised. MTV debuted in 1981 with the first video "Video Killed The Radio Star" by the Buggles. Fast forward...a lack of foresight and streaming channels killed the MTV video star. Gone are MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live. Everything with music is exiting stage left, like Kristen Chenoweth's eye rolling performance in "Versailles".   Around 1999, MTV began investing heavily in crap reality shows like Jersey Shore, 16 & Pregnant, Pimp My Ride, Punk'd, Teen Mom, and The Osborne's. It ushered the era of vanity as a virtue and trashy behavior as cool. The results are seen with today's society where crass behavior has been normalized and the pursuit of materialism turned into a career track. *unwraps Werthers*.  In its early days, MTV was responsible for introduc...

Welcome, music sloots, to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with a swingin' sister to kick you into the New Year with a big smile on your face - and these days, we need something to smile about, don't we? Please make sure and join DJ Li'l Scratch tonight at the Manor's exclusive after hours joint, "Liquor in the Front!" There, he'll be spinning tunes from a performer who started out as part of the "Cool School" sound on the West Coast in the 1940s and 50s, which was yet another movement that acted as a counterpart to bebop. If bebop was "hot-hot-hot" - being loud and fast (and competitive) - Cool Jazz was its "cool" counterpart, or chill, understated and sometimes intellectually detached. You know them when you hear them: Chet Baker with his fragile, whispered delivery; Peggy Lee with her minimalist singing, doing as much as possible with the teensiest amount of volume; and Chris Connor, famed for her vibrato-less v...

  Like many "celebrities," Jamie Lynn Spears shared photos of her family's holiday celebrations this year. But many were left baffled by one gift that she gave her 17-year old daughter, Maddie: an ATV. If you recall, Maddie was nearly killed back in 2017 when she was in an ATV accident. The then-8-year old was riding an ATV on her family's property when she tipped over and fell into a pond. The girl was trapped under the vehicle and her family had to act quickly to retrieve her. She was in a coma for two days, but luckily recovered from the horrific incident. Now, eight years later, her family chose to gift her an ATV. Spears didn't offer any explanation for the seemingly odd gift, and comments on her instagram are limited. Perhaps Maddie requested it? It is weird to see her and her 7-year old sister on the very same vehicle that nearly cost her her life, but to each their own! Source: Jamie Lynn Spears on instagram, People Magazine
