"Good Evening, America. I'm NOT Chloe Sevigny." But, it could be...

(From: YouTube)  This is Chloe.  No, this is Drew.  This is Drew AS Chloe.  This is hilarious!

I happened across this discovery last half afternoon as I was purchasing a new James D'Arcy film produced and sponsored by L'Oreal Hair Creme, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and Snoop Doggy Pooh.  I foresaw imagery of walks in the park with Maya Rudolph (sans baby wipes), chit chats with Solange, and cellular telephone messages from Dita Von Teese.  I was wearing impeccable, yet understated, striped, Versace underpanties, Crocs, and a humorous T-shirt on which was printed the letter "T."  Insert laugh here.  Is this thing on?  Tap, tap, tap.

Drew Droege writes and stars in these Chloe Sevigny spoofs.  Or are they actually spoofs?  Seem more like commentaries on Hollywood and taking yourself too seriously as a VIP.  The exposure to things you could never ever need if your life depended on it, and overspending on items that cost more than an entire small nation.  But, that's just me.

THIS is NOT to say that these videos aren't the funniest thing to be seen since your cat decided to chase itself in the mirror for three and a half days straight before she figured out, "Damn! That's me!"  No, this is very humorous and very addictive.  

As well.....there are hints of Chloe there.  Don't believe me?  See for yourself...

amanwithaview Today I'm Listening To: "Take Me Home" by Perfume Genius

(From: last.fm)  Perfume Genius is pretty darn cute in my book!
Ok. Here's the deal.  Press play on the video below.  Do NOT watch it, but turn away and just LISTEN.  Only after you listen one full time thorough the song should you hit replay and then watch the video.


(From: YouTube)

Why am I making you do this?

Well, I understand that judgment exists in the world.  I would rather you hear TRUE talent before something material takes over your attitude towards the musical genius that you're about to behold with your ears.

Of course, this IS coming from me and I'm utterly IN HEART with this artist (I DON'T JUDGE, unless you're a complete and utter basket case in the first place).  I love the song, the video, his vibe, and basically everything about him.

Why?  Because he's everything other than what society may expect.  So there.

He's reminiscent of an early Chris Isaak, Heather Nova, KD Lang, or anyone with general soul in their delivery.  What are your thoughts on this loverly song and the artist?  I HAVE to find more out there from him.

Cam Gigandet's New Project: "Johnson" - Yes, It's About His Penis. My Life Is Now Complete

(From: Tumblr.com)  Yes, Cam.  I will go for a dip with you.  Stop begging, please!
I haven't seen much of Cam Gigandet on screen lately.  I will usually refer back to Burlesque, and those amazing screen shots of him wearing only a bag of cookies.  For those needing a refresher course on said scene...

(From: flickriver.com)  Cookie...yes, please!  I'll just take the box.
There is news that Cam's newest film will involve him as a man whose penis leaves his body and takes human form.  All in the purpose of teaching him a lesson on his wild ways of womanizing.  Ummm....ok.  Let me process this.  Man loses his penis, and needs to learn to live with his "actual" mind.  Innnnnteresting premise.  Perhaps this means more scenes of Cam in his birthday suit?  I say AWESOME!  Click the link below to read a bit more about the film that is appropriately titled Johnson.

Cam's "Johnson" will soon appear in theaters...Lovely!  (From: DarkHorizons)

There are just too, too, tooooo many nice pics of Cam to NOT share another:

(From: article.wn.com)  This pic was taken in my bedroom.  Truly!  Ok, fine.  It's a mental picture, and I'm completely mental. 
YOU ARE VERRRRRY WELCOME!  HAPPY MONDAY, READERS!

Zac Efron, you JUST made watching The Paperboy higher on my list of things to do (in the privacy of my own home)

(From: bigteazer45.blogspot.com)  Well, hello.  Nice to...WOW.
I don't know what else to say.  Click A, Click B, and Repeat.  For hours on end.  Smiles.

The OTHER Matt...Not Bomer this time. MATT DALLAS stole my cookie.

What is a "Kiki?" If the Scissor Sisters are having one, why can't I? HAHA! Let's research and DISCUSS!

(From: YouTube) Scissor Sisters video for Let's Have a Kiki.  Let's...please!

Alright, I heard the song and thought, "WTF is this?"  Really?  I had no clue about what the song was referencing, but I became enthralled with the dance that quickly grabbed onto every gay man, woman, child, dog, ant, etc. that heard/saw the Scissor Sister's video.

Some guy that attends NYU tries his hand at explaining a KIKI, and admits he's lonely.  (From: HuffPost)

So, what is a KIKI?  Well, above is what a HuffPost "journalist" researched (even though he doesn't cite any outside material), but I'm taking it for granted that he's correct and learned on the subject at hand.  Click on the link above to be taken to his article on the subject.  What I gather, from his commentary on the kiki, is that it is a social gathering where friends and acquaintances merely gab.  Gossip, gossip, and more gossip.  Well, if this IS the case, I've been kiki'ing with with best of them for ages.  What a relief that I wasn't being left out of THIS culture! LOLS...

Anyhow, it seems that these kikis are highly relatable.  Everyone, everywhere is taking the song, the choreography, and running with them in their own videos.  And, I CAN'T stop watching ALL of them.  It's the beat, the cliche....Honey, it's the mother trucking drag queens!  Gotta have, gotta have it every day!

See for yourselves:

(From: YouTube) Australia's Gay & Lesbian Mardis Gras have their own kiki


(From: YouTube) No idea who these people are, but they're pretty amusing for taking the SS's video and making one of their own.  Not too shabby!

I kind of want to make my own Kiki video now.  I feel kind of inspired to do something altogether different from the original.  Anyone interested?  Haha...anyhow, let me know if you are!  Love it!

So, from now on if you're bored....grab your pals and have yourselves a mother trucking KIKI!

Sally Field Always Says It Best. You're gay? "And so the fu** what?!?" Love, love, love her.

(From: filmofilia.com) Sally as Mary Todd Lincoln.  Be serious...this isn't the one with Lincoln hunting vampires or zombies. 
Appearing in the soon-to-be-smash-film-of-the-year Lincoln isn't the only reason to celebrate Sally Field.  She's been entertaining us for decades, but what some of you don't realize is that she's a hundred times more funny, brazen, and ballsy as anyone you could ever know.  Don't believe me?

Click HERE! (From: Advocate) to watch her accept an award from the HRC due to her work for LGBT rights/human rights.

See?  Sally AND Daryl are both at the top of my most-loved celebrity list TODAY!

Her's is my new mantra...."AND SO THE FU** WHAT?"

Daryl Hannah For President! She rocks...I love her!

(From: treehugger.com)
Many of you know Daryl Hannah from her many, many films.  She's most famous, perhaps, for her eye-patched, psycho, hitwoman Elle Driver/California Mountain Snake in Kill Bill.  I LOVE her performance, with Sandra Oh, in Dancing at the Blue Iguana.  Check both films out if you haven't seen them.  Blue Iguana will steal your heart...Daryl's character is really touching.

Lately, driving her car fueled by used vegetable oil, Daryl has emerged as an important voice for environmental activism.  She truly is a woman to be dealt with.  She has no qualms about standing up for people whose voices are not being heard by corporate America...even if it means she has to go to jail.  Daryl's been in the news many times in hand cuffs.  Hey, if I would get up off my lazy ass maybe I could get arrested for a good cause as well.  Alas...I think I'm too lazy.  Pretty much, I'm being an activist (as much as possible) through this blog.  An activist for hot men, fun celebrity cat fights, LGBT rights, and upholding every American's right to bit** a little bit here and there.

Just in the past few days, Daryl has hit the headlines again.  She came to the defense of a great-grandmother whose land was being taken by an oil company building a pipeline over her property.  She had tried to fight the company, but was obviously losing the battle.  Daryl rushed in to bring some attention to the woman's plight.  And, boy did she!  Good work, Daryl!

Standing up for what's right...American citizens' land taken every day by big-time corporations  (From: ENews)

Visit Daryl's interesting pro-environment website HERE! (DHLoveLife.com)  Lots of good tips and news related to environmental activism!  I love to hear when actors take their celebrity status and use it for the betterment of society -  in a nation that serves the ideology of must-have-it-right-now-and-not-concerned-with-any-negative-effects.  Complete and utter consumerism with blinders on.

Let's all take moment to consider what WE can do, individually, to make a difference in someone else's life.  I'm not saying stand yourself in front of dangerous machinery in protest!  But, send an email, make a call, flip off a Republican...DO SOMETHING!  LOLS.  You know what I mean.

Stepping off the soapbox until I need to talk about Daryl's next good cause!
(From: climatebabes.com) She is so friggin' cute!  I wanna make a documentary with her...about something!

American Horror Story: Asylum Begins on FX October 17th! Jessica Lange brings it on yet again!

(From: screenslam.com)  She's looking at you, and she's NOT happy.  Wow!

Sometimes boredom leads to some amazing discoveries...

I was venturing around one of my favorite websites (Darkhorizons.com), and I failed to notice an ad for Asylum playing in the right corner for almost 20 minutes.  Each page I went to, it was there.  I noticed it and watched.  OMFG this show is going to be a mind-fu** and I'm going to love every second of it.

Jessica has ALWAYS been my favorite actress, and will probably always be.  She makes characters come alive in the most subtle ways, which is a true actor's job (she succeeds where some actors cannot).  I was always wishing to run into her in Minneapolis, where she lived for quite a while.  That never happened (insert sad face here), but I heard stories from friends who had run into her while downtown shopping.  So, so, so jealous.  Oh, well.  I am not dead yet, so it could still happen.  Guess I should move to Hollywood to increase the chances, huh?

Back to Asylum.  The cast list is breathtaking, the visuals look like something other-worldly, and Jessica makes a nun seem hot in a VERY evil way.  I cannot wait to see what she's done this time, and I can already tell that it's something very, very bad.  LOLS.

Check out FX's site for AHS: Asylum for yourself.  You'll get as pumped as I am to see it.
Sister Jude Welcomes You to the Asylum - HERE!  (From: FX)

First tastes of Sinead O'Connor's new FANTASTIC musical release! Not to be outdone, she's back and in fine form!

(From: blogrestandplay.com)  This video (for The Wolf is Getting Married) is VERY creative, and that's why I HEART Sinead so much.  She never lets me down.

Ok.  I know what some of you are thinking, and I can even hear your eyes headed upwards in their sockets when you hear her name.  BUT, Sinead is one of the female musicians that is serious about messages in her work.  She never lets us down.

And now, having had it with organized religion, she has a few NEW messages to share.  What is great about this round is that she has some AMAZING sounds to set these messages to.  If you're not a fan after hearing these two new songs, then you need to get your hearing checked.

The new album is called How About I Be Me (and You Be You)?  I am getting this digitally ASAP.  I have always been a HUGE fan of her tunes, and I'm forever playing her album Sinead O'Connor Collaborations.  If you haven't checked that out, I highly suggest it.  It is exactly as the title infers...MANY MANY songs that you've never heard.  She has worked with some other fantastic artists, and the work is all here for you to adore just as I do.

So, here is The Wolf is Getting Married:  (From: YouTube)


AND...The Queen of Denmark:  (From: YouTube)

Addicted to Coffee, Addicted to Male Models: Adrien Sahores

(From: tumblr.com) Adrien phtographed by Justin Wu..Woo-woo! Hello, gorgeous!
Adrien is represented by Ford models in NYC, and has been in some of the most successful designers' advertisements.  I really don't need to go into why...it's pretty apparent.  See the photos if you're not already in agreement!

(From: blaakmagic)  I second that "Yes!"
I think I like him in the pic, following, the most.  Smiles are never a bad thing:

(From: modaellas.com)  He may be tweeking his own nipple.  That's cute.  Although, I think he'd have no problem finding someone to do it for him.  LOLS...
Keep checking in for more cutie-patooties!  I will have a scavenger hunt on the net for more models for you to discover.  I'd put female models on here too, but they get enough exposure as it is on other sites. Men will do for me!

Daniel Craig's Bond Trunks SOLD. I would have paid to get into them...if they were still on Daniel.

(From: mynewplaidpants.com)  The luckiest swimming trunks EVER!

Ok, I've posted on this swimwear on more than one occasion, and I've JUST discovered that a VERY LUCKY buyer now owns a piece of HOT cinematic history.  But, as my post title explains my cash would only have been thrown in under those specifications.  Putting them on yourself is much less fun than getting into them with the best Bond EVER still wearing them.  Yummy dreams tonight.

Culture I've/You've Missed Out On (Or as Miss Clarkson sings, "Since You've Been Gone," while my ears bleed)

(From: homorazzi.com)  Rob Wilson is a new "model" on The Price is Right.  His portfolio contains the obligatory "I'm a shirtless cowboy" pic.

I see that the last post I created was on July 25, 2012.  Wow!  I've been ultra-stressed and busy beyond belief.  However, I won't be bitching about it since everything that was keeping me busy is for the greater good in my own life.  Working it to work it later...or something along those lines, even though that makes me sound like a hooker.

That being said...

Let's hit upon what I've missed while my ass has been in class, on the set, nose in adolescent literature, and making money that never seems to be enough:

First and foremost...The Price is Right has selected it's first male model.  Pinkisthenewblog has some photos of the hottie....I googled the best one for you here!  His name's Rob...as if it matters.  I'd love to overhear his response to the question, "What is it you do again?"  "Well, I am a spokesmodel on The Price is Right, and it's REALLY challenging."  Hahaha  What's his butt, Rob, getting his new gig looking hot on TV.


Romney seemingly has a louder/ruder voice than our President, but did he cheat?  (Come on, he's Republican...it's all for their greater good, right?) A hankey? Reeeeallly? I don't think so. Cheat sheet!  Cheat sheet!  (From: Towleroad)

Snooki (I HATE even typing that name) spawned something WITHOUT horns after all.  And, I hate to say it, but the kid is adorable.  I wonder how quickly she downs her bottle of vodka after the little one hits the hay for the night?  Pretty damn quickly, I imagine.  Ever the attention-seeker - Snooki shares "personal" baby photos  (From: DailyMail)

Kanye West (who should head South and stay there) has a sex tape.  Why not?  Google it yourself.  I'm not going anywhere near that.  LOLS.

Kate Middleton and the Prince had private time photographed by the paps.  Her female parts were put out there for everyone to see by European media followed by the U.S.  Really, People?  So, so, so rude.  Things I'd never think would happen to this couple.  However, Prince Harry's Vegas pics?  I'll peek at those again.

Reese Witherspoon birthed another baby after unprotected sex.  Wow, her count is getting up there.  Who isn't competing with Saint Angelina "Did Someone Say Baby?"

Mariah Carey has attitude with Nicki M. on American Idol.  WHAT?  That isn't possible!  LOL.  Things that don't surprise me in the least.  Check out Nicki giving Mimi something we all know she deserves...a good earful of what she needed to hear 10 years ago when her ego inflated and overtook her singing career.  I wonder how many times Mariah has made her many employees cry?  Nicki lets Carey have it...there's a video of it out there somewhere. Google it!  (From: Examiner)

Chris Brown had photographed his private parts and released those to the world to view.  Needless to say, he now feels the need to share with us what, and with whom, he uses his penis to do.  Gross.  As if his music wasn't bad enough, now we have to hear about who he's sticking it to (again).  Poor Rihanna.  She sounds like a Smurf singing and speaking, and now she's headed back to an abuser.  Seek help, Honey.  He hit you once, and he'll do it again.  Chris Brown's home video of his seriously deluded love triangle. Can't he just phone a family member instead of exposing us all to his craziness?  (From: Examiner)

That's enough for now.  There's too much culture to catch up on in one post.  This is too crazy for me to consider any longer.  My head may explode from all the important work that these "celebs" are doing for the betterment of society.  Pay attention, Mariah and Chris!

Yet another reason to ADORE Annette Bening...and I JUST discovered it today!

Remember her?  She's amazeballs!  (From: blog.zap2it.com)
I feel that I am usually pretty up-to-date on stars and their lives.  However, it seems that Cher's son has taken the full spotlight away from another star's son whose story a lot of people may really want to hear about.

Doing my daily reading online, I discovered this post on Annette's son which is actually quite brave of him.  It's amazing what one person can do to add a little bit of hope to the lives of those who are struggling with their own realizations.

Gives a little insight into why Annette was so passionate about getting The Kids Are All Right made in the first place.  She just jumped up on my list of starts who fascinate and intrigue me.  Mothering done right.  A Million Moms should take a hint at how to raise children correctly.  AND it ain't by starting online protests.

Annette's son, Stephen, sharing a few important statements with his online audience! Brave!  (Linked to OMGBlog)

Say WHAT, Nick Cannon? I mean, who is he?

Mariah Carey wants to get EVEN bigger this year..Nick says he needs..CRAP..she needs hella money to do AI (From:justifytheory.blogspot.com) 
Mr. Cannon-Carey did a quick interview to talk about...well...his better half.  If that's what you can call it.  Rumor has been going around that Ms. Carey is one of the people American Idol is interested in taking a place a the judging table.  They may need to give her a table of her own...just sayin'.  She needs her "space."

I digress....Mr. Carey took time out of his busy schedule (sorry just had a laughing fit) to talk about how much Ms. Carey will need to get paid to do AI.  LOLa abundant here.  You know he's actually just fishing for the $$ by putting this very news-worthy "interview" out there.  Basically, while feeding their twins two hours before, Mariah and Nick were saying how funny it would be if he opened his annoying mouth in public and said she'd need double whatever J.Lo made to do AI.

You know what's REALLY pathetic?  Ms. Carey, if you're nasty, will PROBABLY get it if she shows interest.  They'll need to do a lot of wider shots on the judges' table to fit her in tho.  Just sayin'.  HEY!  I'm talking about her inflated ego, not the baby weight that doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.  Ooops...sorry.  It's her ego, and the piles of cash she has hidden in her bra...and her pants...and under her hair...and in the baby diapers.  Ooops...sorry.  I'm sure it's all real up in there.  The money, that is.

Hmm...looks VERY familiar...  (From: spysharing.blogspot.com)
Sometimes it's SO hard to think of new looks, so why not steal from the woman who has made her career out of changing hers?  The only issue is, Madonna is still rocking it...and a bit better in my little opinion.  I hope Madge gets a few bucks out of the perfume's revenue...just sayin'.

If I were a starlet in HW, this would be THE place to be seen.  I'm anxious to see the fashion commentary tomorrow....perhaps I will share some of the best.  I can only imagine that Anne's gonna kick the carpet's a** JUST as bad as she kicks some baddies' a**es in the film.  And, like I've commented before, I am HOPING upon hope to hear that a whip makes an appearance in the film.  If not, I am going to have some SERIOUS issues with the writers of this film!

Just sayin' that I haven't heard Anne mention a whip in any interview at all.  She has talked about the fight training, but she didn't mention any of the weapons that she would be using in the film.  I don't know why this is so important to me, it JUST IS!  LOLs.  Anne with whip = fabulous time.

Go to the LATimes now to watch the coverage!  Oh, and Tom Hardy is a handsome bloke.  You should probably keep an eye out for him as well.  Ooh la la, Hardy and Hathaway!

Today, I'm Listening to...Le Sport "Tell No One About Tonight"

Le Sport - From YouTube


This song is Tell No One About Tonight from their release Euro Deluxe Dance Party (their original EP was released under the name Eurosport).  As far as I know (and I just googled to be sure), the band no longer makes music together, but I HEART this entire album.

Le Sport hailed from Sweden, and leads me to believe that all good things come from Sweden.  Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, Alexander Skarsgard, Alcazar, Noomi Rapace, Lena Olin, and (of course) Fredrik and Orjan.

It was pretty popular, upon it's release.  Particularly interesting is that the songwriter/lead singer feels no need to hide the fact that he's gay.  The songs are from his viewpoint, and they don't shy away from telling it like it is.  Point and match...the song Your Brother is my Only Hope.  And, it seems that he is. Mine as well.  LOLs.

When I have daughters, one of them will be named Noomi.  Why?  Just 'cause. :)

This video is simple, yet really cute.  The eyes have it here as well.  The shots of his amazeballs gaze, and wandering looks make me want to watch it over and over again.  The beats of the entire album remind me of late 80's/early 90's pop due to all the synthesizing.  Not that it's a bad thing.  It really works (past tense is more appropriate now SAD FACE) for Le Sport.  Maybe they'll reunite and make some more music that I can bop around my place to...I NEED inspiration to clean!

You can listen to more of their songs here:

Talent and beauty - Lucy Liu. Remember her ferociousness in Ally McBeal?

(From: realtalkonline.org)
Lucy Liu is aimed at conquering your television sets!  She stars in CBS's Elementary with Johnny Lee Miller, who is mostly known as one of Angelina "did somebody say baby" Jolie's stepping stones to Pittsville.

Liu has been working, working, and working some more over the past years and things aren't slowing down for this leading lady.  She's excelled at action films, and holds her own fighting some of the toughest male action stars.  She also has a wicked sense of humor, and isn't afraid to poke fun at sexiness.  Remember the Charlie's Angels films?  Who wouldn't favor another go with those 3 ladies?  Come on HW!  Perhaps after Drew gives birth?

Take a look here and see what she's been up to in HW...  (From: IMDB)

I am REALLY excited for The Man with the Iron Fists!  Liu will portray Madame Blossom, and I can only imagine the amount of as**es she will kick this go-'round in the Quentin Tarantino-produced film.    I'm not sure if it can top Liu as O-Ren Ishii in Kill Bill: Volume One.

I really need to re-watch Kill Bill and hear her say, "[Holds up Boss Tanaka's head] Just like this fu**er here. Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, NOW'S THE FU**ING TIME! [Silence] I didn't think so." (Quote from: moviemistakes.com)

And, in keeping up with Comic-Con, here is a brief interview with Liu and Miller talking about the upcoming Elementary:

amanwithaview SIGOURNEY WEAVER in Political Animals on USA Network - HEART RACING NOW!!!

Hells to the YES, Sigourney!  (From: therealstevegray.com)
Ms. Weaver has always had me in a trance, ever since Gorillas in the Mist.  That is still a film that I will watch whenever it's on.  She's pretty much amazeballs in whatever she's in.  I am DYING to watch Red Lights when it comes out on dvd.  That's pretty much going to be a MUST BUY!  Let alone that fact that Cillian Murphy is co-starring with her in it.  Too much fun in one film...should be illegal!

Well, Sigourney is coming to the small screen in Political Animals, and this is VERY GREAT NEWS!  If this show isn't successful then there's no justice in American television.  It has the makings for a huge hit, and the story is a very familiar one.

Read all about the show that you should be sure to watch:

My WTF moment of the DAY! Lucy Liu in Elementary...Coming SOON!


Lucy Liu is coming back to the limelight in Elementary at CBS!  I couldn't be MORE excited.  Johnny Lee Miller is Sherlock Holmes in this re-imagining of the classic detective series.  However, this telling takes a VERY decisive twist....aka Lucy.  I AM SOOOOO FRIGGIN' EXCITED!

If you've watched the clip above (FROM: YouTube) you have experienced exactly why.  This looks amazing!  For your information, I am currently watching Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and am FAR from impressed.  But, after viewing this intro clip to the new CBS series, I have something far better to look forward to.

BTW...if you are wondering whether or not to rent the second Richie-directed Holmes movie versus W.E.  You had better rent W.E.  It, by FAR, surpasses in creativity and general storytelling.  Madonna kicked Richie's a** this year.  And, I can see she will continue to do so...

I DIGRESS...Elementary is the one show to watch this season, and I suggest that you do so.  As far as I can tell from the clip above, this show is going to kick some serious a**!  Lucy Liu can do no wrong in my eyes, and this is pure CANDY!  Soooo looking forward to every episode!

She may be in the background, but she will RULE this show!  (From: collider.com)






amanwithaview TODAY I TAKE ISSUE WITH...PROJECT X

More like Project Waste of Time or Project Homophobe.  (From: freemoviechannel.blogspot.com)
So, I went to Redbox and rented this "film" in the hopes of some giggles and general entertainment.  It turned out to be 20 minutes of HELL.  Yes, I stopped watching after that long because I was offended, disgusted, and pretty much SICK after that many minutes.  Whoever, from THE HANGOVER, decided to produce this piece of shi** should be blacklisted.  Within the first 10 minutes, there were at least two EXTREMELY homophobic remarks, and BOTH meant to produce laughter from their straight audiences.  SHAME ON THIS "FILM."

And.....shame on the actor who thought it alright to deliver the lines that were so highly offensive.  One would think a head would tilt when an actor reads his lines and has the thought that they may be offensive.  YET, he decides to go ahead with it.  Why?  He's earning a sh**-load of money for doing so.  Where, then, does the blame lie?  Let's start with the author....or the director...or the producers.  Anyhow, I DAMN the film itself.

If you would like to defend homophobic film making, rent this fu** of a movie.  If you would like to show your LGBTQ friends some compassion, write the producers and tell them to FU** OFF!  Ban this film from your Netflix account, etc.  It's utter and complete SH**.

Nobody can replace the 20 minutes of my life that I wasted on this "project."  Save yourself some agony and don't choose this film.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the fact that this movie treats animals as complete and utter TOYS.  I could hardly watch as a dog was tormented for the amusement of the teenaged IDIOTS who were using it as a source of their entertainment.  The "men" who wrote this SH** should be flogged for extreme stupidity.  PETA should take notice ASAP.

amanwithaview THIS IS NEWS? July 14th, 2012

I've been off for a few days dealing with...well, LIFE in general.  Stress gets the better of me sometimes and interrupts my "productivity"(or pr"o"ductivity as they say at my work).  So, let's get caught up on what's making the rounds now in gossip territory, SHALL WE:

Okay, that's enough for this second.  Maybe more to come later!  Because of Comic-Con, there are a lot of LOL-worthy headlines!  PS...when did Comic-Con become just another HW hit-maker?  Some of the stars were promoting material that seems just a bit out of place!  Just sayin'!

amanwithaview Kristen Holden-Ried stole my cookie! He better give it back...he just ate it.

Kristen right after he stole it...He looks kinda sorry.  I forgave him 'cause he's shirtless and HOT! (From: flickr.com)
Kristen Holden-Ried is not a household name...YET.  Boy is workin' it big time as you can see from his IMDB profile.  Seriously, he is busy, busy, busy.  We can all say, "Can't I'm busy today," but from the looks of his resume he can REALLY use that phrase and mean it.

Maybe you've seen him in something and didn't even know it!  (From: IMDB)

I first fell for him in one of my ALL-TIME fav movies Touch of Pink with Jimi Mistry and Kyle McLachlan.  He was a serious cutie in that film.  Then, I rented the newest Underworld movie and my pants literally fell off when I saw Kristen walk onto my screen as a werewolf.  I had no clue he was in it, but the movie got a million times better when he appeared!

Who wouldn't fall for those EYES!  (From: collider.com)
This is NOT to say that Kristen (prefer it to Kris as some refer to him) is just something pretty to look at.  He takes his work pretty seriously.  Read this article that gives you a hint at who he is as a HOT daddy and a busy actor:

Me, B.A./M.A. Response to pompous HuffPostist responding to Madonna's Gang Bang

Girl Gone Wild...with a gun  (From: popandon.com)
Patricia Leavy, PhD says that the public is allowing female artists to get away with more commentary on domestic violence than their male counterparts.  The problem with her argument?  These are women!  The post comes from a woman, supposedly well-educated, but she seems to have forgotten about her own vagina for a moment.  The reason that women are able to take a topic, like domestic violence, and be frank about it in their work is because it empowers them and releases them from the role as victim.

Leave it alone, Leavy! You have no clue what you're talking about.  (From: HuffPost)

I'd like to have sat in on some of her courses and heard this author's commentary within the educational discussions.  It's interesting that she cannot make the distinction that male artists (such as Eminem that she references) are criticized for their inclusion of domestic violence mainly due to the fact that their genre of music is known for emphasizing women as objects and toys for men.  Or for that matter, there was absolutely zero criticism of Tori Amos remaking Eminem's song due to the fact that it was a woman consoling her child for the fact that the man is murdering her.  This woman's PhD came from a cereal box, I'm telling you.

Madonna's song is an empowerment for women.  She's releasing her frustration in her art.  Sure, she's talking about wielding a gun and shooting her man in the head.  HEY!  Haven't we all been there at some point?  Plus, if you actually listen to the lyrics it's a story of how much she loved her husband.  Then, when he decided that their marriage was over, he took some of what she had spent her life working for.  Throughout the song she references her admiration for him even though it turns out she "was just keeping her enemies close."

Eminem = violence and women living in a patriarchal society ruled by dicks
Madonna = a woman's perspective of a man's manipulation and greed

Really what's a woman supposed to do in this situation?  Cry herself to sleep at night?  Come on, Patricia PhD.  Jealous of a woman with some power?  Your PhD didn't buy you any guts did it?

Just turn the song on and enjoy it for what it is...a good beat to bounce to.

amanwithaview Say What, Anderson Cooper? Part DUH! Kathy Griffin reacts as a TRUE BFF should.

Kathy looking fantastic...AS USUAL!  (From: marquee.blogs.cnn.com)
So, needless to say.  I HEART Kathy Griffin.  Always have, always will.  Girl tells it like she sees it, and is too cute to boot!  Since Suddenly Susan, with Brooke, she stole my heart.  She was the girl everyone overlooked, but INDEED heard.  I related a bit (growing up), I must admit.

My Life on the D List was the best reality show out there, and unfortunately it is no longer a reality. THANK GOD Bravo is keeping her busy as ALL HELL.  As well, being Anderson Cooper's BFF, she had a bit to say post the whole Anderson Cooper coming out email.

Read here for her reaction:

 Kathy is quite possibly the most WITH IT gay's BFF EVER!  (From: xfinity.comcast.net)

If you've JUST read that post that is linked then you've realized that Kathy is not only funny, she's also one of the smartest friends that Cooper has.  She says what she wants, and she wanted to keep her friend safe.  I mean, others may not buy it.  But, if you look at the places that Anderson goes, it is true that he could become an easy target.  She is completely correct  And good luck finding anyone else in HW to speak so correctly on the state of foreign affairs concerning LGBTQ safety in foreign territories.

I say, Anderson is so lucky to have a Kathy Griffin in his life and on his side.  I was lucky enough to have two Kathy's on my side.  They know who they are (K & G).  They're just as intelligent and witty as Kathy, and just as loving.  Not to say that I don't have room in my life if Kathy Griffin wanted to call me.  I've got the time if she's got my number. It's ***-***-****.  Whatevs....my email is attached to this blog.  She'll get ahold of me if she wants to!  I hope she wants to.  I may die though....AFTER my HUGE gay gasp, of course.

50 Shades of Grey to get the film treatment..IS this a GOOD thing?

Oooooh...a "grey" tie.  Wow.  Must be a hot read!  (From: indiewire.com)
Everyone everywhere has been talking about which HOTTIE McTottie male celeb should play the lead in the film version of 50 Shades of Grey.  Yes, grey.  Grey is the British spelling of the color, while the lower American-class usually spell it gray.  Hence, a pompous titled sex book getting a pompous styled film.  How many Big O's does it take to get this book made into a film?  Well...look at the sales of the book (bored people are so easily amused) and you'll see it takes A LOT!

Anyhow...darkhorizons.com reported today that the rights have been relinquished and this film is a go! Now, all we have to do is wait and see which TWO movie stars are going to be getting down and dirty in a film based on one of the most poorly written (sorry...what I HAVE HEARD is the most poorly written) "novel" of our time.  I have vowed to NEVER read this.  Don't know why.  Just - why jump on THIS bandwagon?  I haven't even seen or read Hunger Games.  No thank you.  I'll just watch Sliver again...and again...and again.  Have your read that book?  Ira Levin does it MUCH better, and with mystery!  Now THAT'S an erotic thriller!  Plus, the heroine is a cat!  They left that out of the film, but it totally made the book.

Again!  I digress...read below about WHICH producers got the rights to the most anticipated adaptation to come:

50 Shades of a movie that will probably suck...more than the heroine in the book. And that's a lot!  (From: darkhorizons)

If this puts it into perspective, I'll tell you a story.  I was getting some cheap groceries at Wally World, and I was checking out their new releases in the film section (right next to the limited books selection), and I overhear a woman asking an employee if he has seen 50 Shades of Grey for sale.  She was desperate for it.  She was shaking, and said that her "book club" was reading it that week, and she HAD to (HAD TO) buy it today!  Needless to say they didn't have it.  I giggled inside, but told her it was in VERY available for purchase at Barnes & Noble (the merchandising for it there is RIDICULOUS and quite sad for those with an appreciation for actual literature).  She actually told me that she NEVER buys books at B&N.  She limits herself to the literature choices at Wally World?  Uh oh, America.

So, will it be Ian?  Will it be Matthew?  Will it be.....MATT BONER?  I mean...Matt Bomer?  YES!  Maybe that Gossip Girl should play Anastasia?  Seriously?  The female is named Anastasia?  OMFG...shoot me now.  I AM NEVER READING THIS "BOOK." EVER!  Major LOLs.
