It's the Wednesday mini dance par-TAY!

It's Sinitta's cover of "Hitchin' a Ride." I briefly mentioned Sinitta last week (her song "Toy Boy") as she too was produced by the same team that did early Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley. Sinitta is one of those American singers who had to go to the United Kingdom to find fame and fortune. She is virtually unknown in the USA which is a shame. But in the UK, Sinitta is still a star and in 2009 was a judge on Simon (American Idol) Cowell's "X-factor" show (you can see clips on youtube of her and Simon with the contestants at his L.A. home, and other clips from the show) maybe she'll be featured here when Simon brings X-factor to America next season. I first saw/heard her music thanks to an "A & E" special in the early 90's about european dance music. She was featured and interviewed in it, along with the Pet Shop Boys and others, and I fell in love with her sound. I had to search high and low to find a copy of her album "wicked" which was a few years old by then but it had this track along with other great songs from that album. This song takes me back to high school as I bopped down the halls listening her music. It's so full of energy and great cover version of a pure pop song from the 60's. I was the only guy in school (and probably a 500 mile radius) who knew about Sinitta. And hearing the British sound at that time made me long for more Brit-pop and started me on a love affair with all things British. Now if I can just find her greatest hits on itunes. Have a listen yourself while browsing, and try not to dance in your chair too much ;)

Way off topic for this blog but...

...Playgirl magazine is about to return to printed form again, thanks to Sarah Palin's daughter's baby-daddy, Levi Johnston. Now, I don't care if you like Levi. Or if you're a Republican or a Democrat and I don't care whether you like Sarah Palin or not---so save your letters everybody---Because I don't need any lecturing on politics. As someone who has lived in the DC Metro area my entire life, (through the Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama years) I can tell you 99.9% of all politicians that work in this town from both your state and mine (both Dems and Repubs) have been up to some kind of shit/crime/murder/scandal/money under the table/more shit behind closed doors that screwed us all over--many, many times. And they still are. I don't trust anybody in politics--in my mind they're all pretty bad, they all say stupid things and flip-flop, and say what they know you want to hear but, then don't keep their promises to you. Unfortunately, that's how the game is played. But probably in your area, your national new focuses on politics and your local news is about your local news. Here, the national news is about politics and the local news is about more politics. And when we're not watching politics here, I can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone talking about politics. Welcome to DC. It can be too much at times. Because in the nice place where you live, the people are nice when they meet you and ask what you like to do for fun. But here, the first thing they ask you after you say your name is "what do you do?" Meaning, they want to know if you work for the Government or not, or if you have a real job, and then either way, they want to find out what side of the political spectrum you swing towards. But I'm getting off topic... Back to Playgirl. It's coming back because God works in very mysterious ways and decided to bring Playgirl nude centerfolds back to the world through this crazy hot mess political family situation...and I love it. What's up with all the Republican skin over this past year? Whether it's Scott Brown and his Cosmo spread, or beauty "scream" Carrie Prejean's nude photo scandal, or Levi in Playgirl. Got to admit, the Republican side always delivers the naked goods. And now it brings Playgirl back to the magazine racks too for all the gays. Funny how life works. But it makes me smile. Oh, and I feel kinda sympathetic to dumb ol' Levi. Like many dumb straight guys he was just thinking with the wrong head, got his girl knocked up, and is dealing with a nasty custody battle with the Palins. He has a GED from High school and I can't blame him for doing the photo spread for Playgirl---it's going to take a lot of money to win custody of his child against the million dollar lawyer I'm sure the Palins have hired. So good luck to him on that. And he seems ok with the gays. True, he's not a huge ally but he's not running around bashing us either. Kathy Griffin I'm sure made it clear to him who really buys Playgirl. So, he's been pretty nice to the gays he meets, I hear. And doesn't mind the attention from them, or posing for pictures with them, or making an appearance at the gay bar or two. So, good luck to him with his future custody battle. Now, I wonder who the next political sex scandal will come from? Hmmm....

Betty White commercial was one of the best of the night...

...but not because it was the funniest commercial---it was due to the nice "butts in the air" during the tackles. Which I've screencapped for you. See the high def commercial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkAnLtqWDhc&feature=related

super(HERO)bowl Sunday!

Football, football, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!! If only it was as interesting as in the first pic. But, nope. It's not. Hey, I don't care about the game. I don't care about the score. I don't even care about the commercials this year. But I'll probably watch it for one reason, and one reason only...I can't help it, I like a muscle butt in tight pants. There...I said it.

It's the Wednesday mini dance par-TAY!

Yes, it's Astley...Rick Astley. And yes, we've all been Rick rolled. But not today...

...Today it's the 1980's sugar sweet brit-pop "Together Forever" Rick's follow up to "Never gonna give you up." This song was produced by Stock Aiken Waterman, who's sound DOMINATED the 80's. They produced Kylie Minogue (i should be so lucky), Bananarama (venus), Dead or Alive (you spin me round), Sinitta (toy boy), Donna Summer (this time i know it's for real), Samantha Fox (I only wanna be with you), Divine (you think you're a man), Boy Krazy (that's what love can do) and many more. And of course Rick Astley. And their bright, young sound was copied by many others. Ahhh, the 80's. It was a fun silly time to live through as a kid. So, get out your polo shirt and pop your collar and dance silly with me.

BOOOOOO!!!!!!

After winning Emmys and Golden Globes, earning multiple award nominations, a successful critical return to good form, and 4 seasons on the air, those bastards at ABC are canceling Ugly Betty...ugh, this kills me!...this was the gayest show on the air since "Will & Grace"... ...the kiss of death was the idiotic choice to (and probably deliberate to destroy it by ABC) show move to Friday nights at the beginning of the Fall season...

...What kind of audience is home on a Friday night?!? Friday night TV is for family shows like "Full House" not shows with gay and transsexual characters and murder/sex/bed hopping like Ugly Betty...

...This show won critical praise in it's first season. It had style, comedy, heart, major plot twists and was extremely gay friendly...and stars like Betty White, Salma Hayek, Kathy Griffin, singer Shakira, Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, actor Kevin Alejandro (about to play the gay vampire on True blood), Gina Gershon, Lindsay Lohan, Debi Mazar, designer Isaac Mizrahi, Martha Stewart, Project Runway's Tim Gun, American Idol singer Katherine McPhee, Kill Bill actress Lucy Liu, Modern Family's gay husband Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jerry O'Connell, Broadway legend Patti LuPone, Will & Grace's "Beverly Leslie" actor Leslie Jordan, Oscar winning actress and "OZ" HBO star Rita Moreno, Kristen Chenoweth, Basketball athlete Rick Fox, designer Kenneth Cole, actor Victor Garber, James Van Der Beek, "That Girl" Marlo Thomas, designer Vera Wang, rapper Bow Wow, Ghostbuster and Designing Women actress Annie Potts, Rocky Horror actor Barry Bostwick, KISS rocker Gene Simmons, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, Larry King, Supermodel Naomi Campbell, Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa, her hunky husband Mark Consuelos, Hairspray's Nikki Blonsky, Mama Mia's Christine Baranski, singer Adele, Joy Behar, Billie Jean King, Saturday Night Live's Rachel Dratch, Antonio Sabato Jr, Rachel Maddow...

...And let's not forget the amazing cast with America Ferrera, Rebecca Romijn, Eric Mabius, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becki Newton, Judith Light, Ana Ortiz, Mark Indelicato and others---too many more to mention...

...this show was fun but, balanced the crazy drama with Betty and the others trying to do the right thing in a world that treats you like shit, and throwing some moments where we can all laugh. Main gay character Marc St James is that judgemental gay guy we all know who is struggling for career success and finding the right guy...

...the beautiful Rebecca Romijn best known as Mystique from the X-men...

...played transsexual Alexis Meade. As a man Alex Meade faked his death and spent 2 years in hiding while having multiple surgeries to become the female Alexis, and unveiled herself in the first season to her shocked brother and family...

...and there isn't a super villain around who can stand up to the crafty main villain of the show Wilhelmina Slatter...

...Wilhelmina has fired more people, crushed more dreams, plotted to destroy more careers, to ruin her competition with a super computer virus, tried to marry into power, stole a dead man's sperm to birth a baby and attempted to gain his wealth, punched and beaten more assistants, slammed Betty White's hand in a car door, well the woman has done it all...

...It was just a great show to escape from reality each week, with costumes by "Sex and the City" and "the Devil wears Prada" costumer to the stars the great Patricia Fields ...

...AND.................................................................LET'S NOT FORGET......................................................the regular hunks, hotties, man candy, studs and male model skin that would parade through episodes from time to time....................

...well, the only good news is that ABC has decided to let the show finish out it's fourth season which gives the writers of the show time to write a finale to this series that will be fitting of the cast of characters and storylines over the past seasons. Maybe, some previous stars and characters will make returning appearences to help end this show with some style. Blah...I'll miss it. But, at least it will always live forever on dvd.

...Now, what should I watch? Any ideas people?

Kneel before Zod!

This is probably how you know General Zod and the other super villains from the Phantom Zone...

...But this is how General Zod and his company looked in the pages of Superman comic books...

Returning to blogging soon, so...

**********************************************************************************************Do you miss me yet?

What's new?

What's new, you ask? Ooooh, not much. You know, just the usual. Life has gotten a bit busy for me lately. So, I'll be taking a break from daily posting for a bit. But I should be back in a week or so. Have a browse through the archive for the "best of" experience. Be good while I'm gone :)

It was only a matter of time...

Before someone would make some Avatar beefcake for us. These are good.

What'cha readin'?

It's the Wednesday mini dance par-TAY!

It's "Destination Calabria" by Alex Gaudino featuring Crystal Waters on vocals. I apologize in advance for the army of women wearing thongs. And for no appearance of Crystal Waters actually seen in the video. Crystal was here in DC last summer for Black Pride, and she mentioned in the local paper that this song was a worldwide smash for her everywhere---except HERE in the USA. No radio station would play it. WTF is up with our music here? I remember when she had hits with "100% Pure Love" and "Gypsy Woman" and she can't get a worldwide #1 song like this even played here?!?! Ugh! I wonder what else we're missing out on? Well, at least it is on itunes. Have a listen while you view the blog.

The X-men's Psylocke as he--er--she, should have been.

Movie time...

I saw both of these movies last week, and both were good for different reasons. Avatar in 3d was completely worth it and was both awesome and moving at times due to it's heavy handed reflection on society at large. Yes, it's not Shakespeare but compared to the crap Hollywood usually chucks at us--this should be honored with awards. But will the Oscars ever honor a sci-fi movie in any real way? Um, my "magic 8 ball" says no. Sci-fi movies can't even win for best costume design these days. I remember when the Star Wars Phantom Menace got nominated for costume design and I think it lost to some BS period piece movie. Hmm, let's see, one was a space opera with completely innovative designs that were made from scratch, and for the period piece that won, they went to the studio closet and pulled out a bunch of period costumes that we've seen in a hundred other period movies--nothing new. I'm still pissed Barbarella never won anything! :) Well, anyway, Avatar is making millions so no matter if it gets any serious nominations. Go see it if you haven't and if it's sold out, then go see Sherlock. Holmes was fun, with a very slight tongue-in-cheek homo vibe betwen Sherlock and Watson.

Plastic Man

Watch him wiggle, see him jiggle, cool and fruity---oh, wait...that's the theme song for Jello.

Umm...

Mmmhmm...sure you do. Nice try boys but, your rainbow picture frame and cuddling together at one end of the sofa gave you away.

I'm sure you've seen these by now but, if not, it's the album covers for "Purple Rain," "the Breakfast Club" and "Flashdance" re-imagined with heroes. Very nice work.

Phantom Lad

One time Legion of Super Heroes reject with powers duplicate to Phantom Girl, determined to replace her on the team. If only the colorist had colored his costume cut outs right---they were supposed to be like Phantom Girl's.

It's the Wednesday mini dance par-TAY!

Today, it's "Cities in Dust" from Junkie XL. I believe this is a cover of a song originally by Siouxsie and the Banshees. I like Siouxsie too but, this version is really good and rockin. And I look like an moron while driving, rocking out and singing/screaming YEAH! in the car. You know you want to scream YEAH! too. Go ahead, I won't tell :)

More of what you've been missing on Ugly Betty...

Yes, Ugly Betty has been gayer than ever this season. Tonight it's back. This season so far, between Betty's gay teenage nephew Justin, random hotties, and of course Mark---it's been fun to watch. But let's get back to... ...Connor Owen who returned to Wilhelmina from his faked death, and like the Grinch her heart grew 3 times larger. I had another body organ grow 3 times larger when he came back...

...unfortunately for Willy (not me :) it didn't last long and the FBI moved in and took him and his pants bulge away...

Willy was of course upset but, they've still got prison conjugal visits to look forward to and you just know he's going to escape again...

Meanwhile, Mark was busy cruising guys for some vacation sex...

...and eventually got some, and we finally got to see some Mark skin in bed...

...Along the way Mark and straight Daniel became friends. Daniel has been in a funk since his wife died. And the former himbo was having trouble chasing the ladies again...

...But with a little help from Mark, Daniel gets his game back, and surprises Mark by offering him a job as his assistant---stealing Mark away from Wilhelmina...

...and even Betty and her ex Matt finally get over their problems and have some vacation sex...

And there have been other surprises this season like Daniel's newly discovered hot half brother, accidental pregnancy for Hilda, and the usual corporate takeovers, crime and back stabbings. Rumours this season are that Justin will finally come out of the closet, Mark's ex boyfriend Cliff will return and who knows what else. I'll be watching ABC tonight to see what happens :)

Holy Bat-fantasy!

Mirror Master

What you've been missing on "Ugly Betty"...

After a long wait, "Ugly Betty" has gotten it's groove back. The show has been great this season and finally back on track. So much so, that it's been moved to the successful comedy Wednesday lineup this year on ABC, starting this Weds Jan 6. And if you haven't been watching, I'm going to give you some of the highlights... There has been much more bed hopping than ever. One show had almost the entire cast getting some vacation sex. Everyone is frisky including made over Betty...

And the very sexy Connor Owen returned from the dead. Ahhh, how I missed his pants bulge.

Connor faked his own death to avoid the Feds and emerged from the sea like 007 to take Wilhelmina right there on the beach...

More highlights tomorrow.

Pow! Bap!

In this issue, Batman beats up some trannies?!?

Makeover for Twoface

Yep, this should be his new look. It would sell more issuuuuues :)

Oh, Bruce!

AND ROBIN!!! Don't forget Robin, Bruce! You man whore!

Flash tv show

Who remembers this show and John Wesley Shipp as the Flash? Was he gay or straight? And whatever happened to him? His ass was dreamy by the way.

Why so serious?

I believe this is the new plot of the next Batman film. He's the greatest detective in the world but a little jiffypop will render him powerless!

It's just like "ER" or "House" or "Grey's Anatomy" but in comic form

Wow!!! Now that guy has really good HMO coverage! Hmm, why hasn't Marvel brought this comic back to life? It works so well on tv. ER, House, Grey's Anatomy, St. Elsewhere, MASH, Trapper John MD, Dr. Kildare, Marcus Welbe, Nurse Julia, and the first csi type show---Quincy. But then again this Nurse has something rarely seen in hospitals of today---a hot body in a dress uniform! All the women nurses I've dealt with were average, and they never wear the dress uniform---always scrubs. Which basically look like pajamas. The male nurses would sooner wear the dress then they would. Maybe, we can fix that with the national health care debate.

the Adventures of Milkman...

Hmm, most of these guys are having a hard time drinking milk. Do you guys struggle getting milk into your mouth?

Get super...

Blaaaaaaah. It's the new year and like most of the planet I gained weight over the holidays and have begun the new year's diet and exercise resolution. Yesterday, I had to fight off heavy cravings at lunch for a large Wendy's "Baconator" and then again at dinner too! Mmmmm, bacon. Must fight it. Must fight it!!! Must---be---super!!!

To boldly go where no man has gone before...

PSA

Batman just needs to add "Gay" to his speech about Americans. Actually, DC Comics should really be doing these public service pages now, for today's readers. We could use a little help breaking down homophobia and they could use a little common sense now and then.
