Justin Bieber Jesus Tattoo Photo: Singer Shows Off New Ink

This is disturbing on so many levels.  All other issues aside, what kind of parent let’s any 17-year-old get a permanent tattoo of anything/anyone?

Hopefully, he will eventually gain some weight and muscle  and that will really have an impact on filling out Jesus’ face….

I’ve always wondered how he would have looked if Burl Ives had played Jesus.  We may find out…..

And if my legs were that scrawny, I definitely would not want to call attention to them…

I repeat:  I wish I could find and invest in a company specializing in Tattoo Removal for when all these kids realize that these tats aren’t going to look nearly as good as they age and their bodies change.  I would make so much money I wouldn’t have to worry about what the Republicans are going to do to Social Security.

I really think you should not be allowed to get tats until you are at least 30.  By then, you should know what the consequences are and be able to make an informed decision….

Oh, and I still think his “music” sucks and that “he” is really a 24 year-old-lesbian with a great Marketing Plan…

From The Huffington Post.  Link has the picture:

Jesus walks. Justin Bieber was spotted on the beach in Los Angeles rocking board shorts and some major ink. The Biebs has always been vocal about his faith but now he’s wearing it on his sleeve — or rather his calf. The “Mistletoe” singer was recently tatted with a large visage of Jesus on his left calf.

Bieber also has the name “Jesus” tattooed on his torso but his new ink is certainly a more visible ode to his religion. The 17-year-old also has a small bird tattooed on his hip. Could Bieber’s permanent art leanings start to rub off on girlfriend, Selena Gomez?

Flying with Judy Garland

I just came across an interesting quote on flying from Judy Garland….

I can only imagine what she would have to say if she were flying today…

“I hate flying. I don’t want to die. I’ve never met a cast of people I wanted to die with. You go on an airplane and see the people sitting there reading Reader’s Digest…you don’t want to die with them, you KNOW, you don’t want to die with them!

First of all I get top billing: JUDY GARLAND dies in plane crash. For other deceased, turn to section D page eighteen, where they have them listed alphabetically.

What are we doing flying around in airplanes? The birds don’t even go that high! You have to strap yourself in and HOPE…and there’s no hope and NO OXYGEN!

I have to make friends with the pilot, whereupon he tells me that his children are just as important to him as mine are…forget it! His life isn’t NEARLY as important as my life is to me! Call it sheer selfishness, I don’t really CARE!”

What Are You Doing New Years Eve?

Well, the Holidays are almost over and I’ll be back with more regular posts soon.

I’m ready to move on and put 2011 behind us as we look forward to the future in 2012.

As the Holidays wind down, here is one of my favorite songs sung by one of my favorite singers.

I wish Karen Carpenter was still with us.  I think she would eventually have been given the serious recognition her phenomenal voice and phrasing deserved.

Not the best video, but one of the best renditions of this song….

Barbie and Ken’s Christmas Letters to Santa

These have been kicking around the internet for years…

I’m not sure who originally wrote them….

Reading them is one of my favorite Holiday Traditions, so I’m  reprinting them here in case anyone else wants to share…

Barbie’s Christmas Letter
Dear Santa,
Listen, you troll, I’ve been helping you out every year, playing at being the perfect Christmas present, wearing skimpy bathing suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many tea parties, and I hate to break it to ya Santa, but IT’S DEFINITELY PAYBACK TIME! There had better be some changes around here this Christmas, or I’m gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won’t wanna be around to smell it).

So, here’s my holiday wish list, Santa:

1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized sweatshirt. I’m sick of looking like a hooker. How much smaller are these bathing suits gonna get? Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon and velcro crawling up your butt?

2. Real underwear that can be pulled on and off. Preferably white. What bonehead at Mattel decided to cheap out and MOLD imitation underwear to my skin?!? It looks like cellulite!

3. A REAL man…maybe GI Joe. Hell, I’d take Tickle-Me Elmo over that wimped-out excuse for a boyfriend Ken. And what’s with that earring anyway? If I’m gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and me) anatomically correct.

4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp away once he is anatomically correct.

5. Breast reduction surgery. I don’t care whose arm you have to twist, just get it done.

6. A jog bra. To wear until I get the surgery.

7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just don’t cut it. How about a systems analyst? Or better yet, an advertising account exec!

8. A new, more modern persona. Maybe “PMS Barbie”, complete with a miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag of chips; “Animal Rights Barbie”, with my very own pain gun, outfitted with a fake fur coat  and handcuffs; or “Stop Smoking Barbie”, sporting a removable Nicotrol patch and equipped with several packs of gum.

9. No more McDonald’s endorsements. The grease is wrecking my vinyl.

10. Mattel stock options. It’s been 47 years — I think I deserve it.

OK, Santa, that’s it. Considering my valuable contribution to society, I don’t think these requests are out of line. If you disagree, then you can find yourself a new bimbo doll for next Christmas. It’s that simple.

Yours truly,

Barbie

And Ken’s Response:

Ken’s Christmas Letter

Dear Santa,

I understand that one of my colleagues has petitioned you for changes in her contract, specifically asking for anatomical and career changes. In addition, it is my understanding that disparaging remarks were made about me, my ability to please, and some of my fashion choices. I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of some of the issues concerning Ms. Barbie, and some of my own needs and desires.

First of all, I along with several other colleagues feel Barbie DOES NOT deserve preferential treatment — the bitch has everything. I, along with Joe, Jem, Raggedy Ann & Andy, DO NOT have a dream house, Corvette, evening gowns, and in some cases, the ability to change our hair style. I personally have only 3 outfits which I am forced to mix and match at great length. My decision to accessorize my outfits with an earring was my decision and reflects my lifestyle choice.

I too would like a change in career. Have you ever considered “Decorator Ken”, “Beauty Salon Ken”, or “Out of work Actor Ken”? In addition there are several other avenues which could be considered such as: “S & M Ken”, “Green Lantern Ken”, “Circuit Ken”, “Bear Ken”, “Master Ken” These would more accurately reflect my desires and perhaps open up new markets. And as for Barbie needing bendable arms so she can “push me away”, I need bendable knees so I can kick the bitch to the curb. Bendable knees would also be helpful for me in other situations — we’ve talked about this issue before.

In closing, I would like to point out that any further concessions to the blonde bimbo from hell will result in action be taken by myself and others.

And Barbie can forget about having GI Joe – he’s mine; at least that’s what he said last night in bed.

Sincerely,

Ken

Why Must the Show Go On?

A few words of wisdom from the Master to put Show Biz in perspective….

Noel Coward’s talent is priceless…..

And his words ring so much truer today – with Lindsay Lohan, the Kartrashians and some of our show biz martyrs- than they did 50 years ago…

Happy Birthday to the Divine Miss M

I really can’t believe Bette Midler is 66 years old today….

How do all these entertainers keep getting older and I don’t?

I loved her from her first hit:

Then she was Oscar nominated for “The Rose”

and brought the house down with her TV performance as Mama Rose in the TV version of “Gypsy”

I hope she has many more Birthdays!!!

Daniel Craig Calls Kardashians ‘F*cking Idiots,’

Another reason to love Daniel Craig….

I’m really offended that I even had to find out who the Kardashians are….And I never watch TV!

They are so omnipresent in the media, you can’t avoid the skanky creatures…..

Daniel puts it in perspective….

Daniel Craig is a very private man, on screen and off. On film, he plays a journalist doing important investigative work, as well as the world’s most famous spy; in real life, he does things like get married in super secret ceremonies. And as he tells British GQ, he’s got good reason for all the secrecy; once you go Kardashian, you never go back.

“I think there’s a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel,” Craig tells the magazine. “You can’t buy it back. You can’t buy your privacy back. ‘Ooh, I want to be alone. ‘F*ck you. We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta, and now you want some privacy?'”

In case he wasn’t clear enough that he was talking about the Kardashians — hey, reality shows blend together — he then emphasized his target.

“It’s a career. What can I tell you?” he continues. “It is a career; I’m not being cynical. And why wouldn’t you? Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. Millions! I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f*cking idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?'”

In fact, Craig’s comments are quite salient on a day when Kourtney Kardashian announced that she is pregnant… on the cover of Us Weekly.

Scotty Bowers: Hustler and Confidant to the Stars Tells All

I can’t wait to get my hands on this….

I’ve heard about this guy for years and never thought he would tell his stories.  And from what I read, he’s a pretty honest and dependable guy…

Hollywood Historian William J Mann quoted him in his Katharine Hepburn bio, Kate:  The Woman Who Was Hepburn– which is great reading and well worth your time if you need something to hold you over until this comes out..(http://www.amazon.com/Kate-Woman-Who-Was-Hepburn/dp/0805076255/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1321817616&sr=8-15)

I’ve just pre-ordered a copy at Amazon.com. and can’t wait to read this when it comes out in January or February.

Here’s the link to purchase at Amazon.com:  http://www.amazon.com/Full-Service-Adventures-Hollywood-Secret/dp/0802120075

From Entertainment Weekly:

Scotty Bowers never acted in a single movie. But his story may cast a new light on old Hollywood by revealing the hidden love lives of stars like Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, and Rita Hayworth—all of whom Bowers claims as paramours from his heyday trading sex for money.

Literary agent David Kuhn confirms exclusively to EW that Grove/Atlantic president Morgan Entrekin has bought the rights to Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars, Bowers’ memoir of his years spent as a bartender, confidante, and gigolo to a laundry list of showbiz icons. A GI who moved to Hollywood after World War II, Bowers describes how he and friends serviced actors and actresses on leave from nearby studios—using an LA gas station as their base. He says he later became an in-demand bartender who developed intimate friendships with stars like Katharine Hepburn, Montgomery Clift, and Rock Hudson, among others. Now 88 and living in L.A. with his wife of 27 years, Bowers agreed to tell his stories now that most of the celebrities he claims were friends and clients have passed away.

“The book is a window onto the shadow lives of all these people who entertained us and made popular culture, but who in many ways weren’t what they appeared to be,” says Kuhn. “Scotty helped them to fulfill the desires that they couldn’t fulfill themselves.”

Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars is set for release on Feb. 14, 2012.

‘Cursing’ Baby Doll Upsets Parents

I may have to have one of these….

I would have loved it if these had been around when my friends had small children.  I would have known exactly what to give them for Christmas then!

Instead, I may just go buy a few for selected friends now….

Of course, people are freaking out and making much ado over nothing…

Video, at the link below, from Huffington Post:

A talking baby doll available at Toys “R” Us is upsetting some parents, who claim it has a potty mouth.

Some customers are calling for the “You & Me Interactive Play & Giggle Triplet Dolls” to be pulled from shelves because they say one of the dolls can be heard uttering, “You crazy bitch.”

“I did hear that. I wouldn’t want that for my child. Definitely not,” Denise Altschule told FOX23 in Tulsa, Okla.

Another mother told WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Fla., that she feared her son could pick up the curse word from the doll. “I don’t want him repeating what’s on there,” she said.

The dolls, which are intended for children 2 and up, are being sold exclusively at Toys “R” Us stores. A Toys “R” spokeswoman told FOX23 that the retail store has not received widespread complaints and said the offending phrase is just baby talk.
