EVENING NIGHTCAP: AMA 2025 Fashuuun. Mary Lou Gets A Perfect "10" For DUI.

Image
  ► The American Mediocre Awards (Govt Name: American Music Awards) were held last night. Despite being nominated for 6 awards, Tay-Tay didn't win jack shit. Not that it mattered since she didn't attend. She was busy washing Travis Kelce's hair. The ceremony was hosted by Jennifer Lopez-Noa-Judd-Almost Affleck-Anthony-Almost Rodriguez-Affleck-TBD. Having a serial divorcee whose career is in free fall tells you this award show is past it's expiration date. As one would expect JLo had 37 wardrobe changes. Each outfit being tackier than the other. JLo's quest to stay relevant included re-creating Madonna's infamous 2003 MTV kiss with Britney by grabbing a female backup dancer and going faux lezbot (at the 0:50 mark in video below). Seeing a 55 yr old woman trying to be "cool & hip" was the highlight of the event. Given the parade of D-minus celebs who attended, the AMAs can now officially call itself the garage sale of award shows.  Without further ad...

OPEN POST: Speidi at the AMAs

Source: Matt Baron/Shuttershock Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt made an appearance at the American Music Awards last night. In a sea of "who???!"s it was nice to see some familiar faces, even if they might have a few more ounces of filler in them. It seems like only yesterday we were snarking on Speidi over on Dlisted. I can't believe those two crazy kids really stuck it out.

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Red Carpet Gag. Lizzo Morphs Into BeYAWNce's Cowboy Carter Era.

Image
  ► The dirty dish rag known as Billy Ray Cyrus (63) and Elizabeth Hurley (59) made their red carpet debut a couple of days ago at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. These 2 took the rome out of romance with their pap stroll to announce their "Slumming It" World Tour. Billy dressed liked he should be pan handling and harassing tourists at the Trevi Fountain while Liz reminded me to pick up a bottle of Pepto Bismol the next time I'm at CVS. They were joined by Liz's doppelganger a.k.a. her son, Damian (23). The trio held hands, which is weird to me. Damian is a bit wee-old to be holding on to mommy's hand while she's out on a date, even if it's with the hillbilly crypt keeper.  Read More Billy Ray Cyrus, Liz Hurley, and Damian Hurley. Photo: Cobra Team/Backgrid/Yahoo.com Comment: With Liz in the middle, Billy and Damian look like they're getting ready to split a wishbone - and whoever gets the big piece is the winner in this menage-a-barf. The coupling of ...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Frances Wayne! Plus Memorial Day At The Manor!

Image
Can you believe we’re headed into summertime already? Wheeeeeee! Is your swimsuit bod ready yet? Are you hankering for some good tunes by the pool? Then head over in your finest scanties to "Five-Finger Slippy," the Manor's popular new jazz and supper club, because DJ Li'l Scratch is spinning tunes by a terrific jazz singer who only put out a handful of LPs. We're talking the incomparable Frances Wayne. Ain't she lovely? Or "bella" as her parents might have said, since she was born of Italian immigrants in Boston. As for her singing, sometimes when you have it, you know it and you know it early - and so does everyone else around you. Frances hit New York city as a teenager and almost immediately found herself in high demand, singing and touring with the Charlie Barnet and Woody Herman bands, amongst others, and creating a solo sensation at nighteries in NYC and L.A. In short order, she nabbed a recording contract, later scoring one of her biggest hit...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 5/26/2025

Image
The world is still spinning, so it can't all be bad, right? Insert "Sure, Jan" gif, because our political and social landscape only worsens by the day, and there's little hope on the horizon except for the midterms, which are nearly a year away. Let's hope we're still here then.  In the meantime, the following three articles illuminate what we've lost, what we're losing, and what we're left with for the moment, and they're all worth your time, I swear. Have you read any eye-popping articles this week? Make sure to share them in the comments so we can all discuss and lower our blood pressure.  1. The headline may be obvious, but the scope with which progress has been thwarted is genuinely shocking. You can read more in this long-form article  HERE.  2. Yes, it's amusing to watch Republican senators beg for FEMA funding , but beyond the understandable schadenfreude, we're all in big trubs. Read why HERE .  3. As if looking for a new job w...
