NEVER CARED FOR THIS SONG UNTIL THIS!

KIM AND KANYE EXPECTING...

SNAP!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM OBAMNEY!

So the president campaigned on taxing everyone who made $250,000 and that's why many of us elected him. He's breaking that promise before he's out of his first term and he doesn't even have to. He has a strong hand yet refuses to play it? He got our vote and is now free to ignore our wishes. Some polls put those in support of raising taxes on $250,000 and up at 60-76%--it's clearly what a majority of us want. At least Romney admitted to catering to the rich. For those of you waiting on a progressive Obama in the second term, he's already come and gone.

NY MAG:   "The erosion signals not only a major substantive problem in its own right, but it also raises disturbing questions about Obama’s ability to handle his entire second term agenda."

HILARIOUS!

A TRULY GREAT MAN: DENNIS KUCINICH

An understandably bitter Dennis Kucinich lashes out at the lunacy of the 'fiscal cliff", Obama's unnecessary proposed cuts to social security and why no one is talking about what we all want: job creation. We prefer the bogus argument that we have to cut entitlements if we cut taxes which isn't true yet it fogs up every news channel. (Bless you, Amy Goodman!) There are many other areas to cut (like defense, corporate tax loopholes and subsidies to extremely profitable corporations) which aren't even being considered. We just voted against Romney because he wanted to turn his back on the working class and the poor--yet even most democrats (including Obama) would gladly defund programs which average people from veterans to seniors to students need than to ask for a penny from the corporations and the military/industrial complex who owns them all. Dennis is one of the few exceptions.

I'm very sad that after 8 terms of serving Ohio, Kucinich will be leaving Congress. Out current leaders are so lame when he advocates job creation, infrastructure rebuilding and getting $ out of politics, he ends up sounding like a crackpot. Because we can't rely on most of our representatives to act on what we actually all do agree on. That would be too much like democracy. Democracy is something we try to shove down the throat's of other countries we attack while it ceases to exist here at home. Dennis' remarks begin at about the 11:30 point in this clip.



PART 2

WHOOPS!

REVIEW: JACKIE HOFFMAN IN A CHANUKHAH CAROL

Only one more show left on tonight! Jackie is the real deal--actress, comedienne, singer, writer--essentially everything that most junk TV lacks. To spend an evening with such a powerhouse is a thrill and the pint-sized diva lights up that big room with sheer talent. While it's a one-woman show spoofing  A Christmas Carol, Jackie's uncanny knack for impersonations leaves you gasping--so it's more like a one-woman show with a cast of hundreds who are conversing with themselves at lightning pace. These include a dead-on impersonation of Shelly Winters as the Ghost Of Christmas Present, an overly grand Patrick Stewart as the narrator and the diva's entire orthodox jewish family whose insane holiday dinner banter would touch a nerve with dysfunctional family members of any faith. She targets Siri, Pinkberry delivery boys, camera phones, Ambien, and her own "12 minutes of stage time" as a character actress/scene stealer in Broadway hits like Hairspray, Xanadu and The Addams Family. And when she steps into the future, Broadway Equity Fights AIDS is still doing fundraisers for the disease (just because they love doing them) even though a cure for AIDS has been found years before! Never actually dirty but consistently outrageous, Jackie had the packed house shrieking! I took my real life sister Jaan and we bother hollered! Last chance to catch this irreverent diva is tonight at New World Stages. A bonafide treat!

OKAY...

R.I.P. FONTELLA BASS

Here's to the soul singer extraordinaire who got the whole world dancing with her infectious smash Rescue Me. Here is a rarer cut called Theme De Yoyo that features her singing with the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. It's long and jazzy but if you like jazz, these wild, experimental horn lines will slay you!



And here's her hit--thanks you for the great music Miss Lady!

HONESTLY, HONEST TEA!

MILLIONS AGIANT MONSANTO:   :Hard to believe, but that last bottle of Honest Tea you bought probably helped defeat Prop 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act.

Honest Tea started out as a nice little company, making a certified organic beverage. Then along came Coca-Cola. Coke bought Honest Tea for one reason: to make money. Lots of it. Since acquiring a 40% stake in Honest Tea in 2008, Coca-Cola has tripled the brand’s sales, to $72 million. In 2011, the giant beverage company bought the remaining 60% of Honest Tea.

Yep, Coca-Cola loves you. You help boost profits. Unfortunately, the giant beverage company spent $1.7 million of those profits to defeat Prop 37 and your right to know about GMOs.

One of the original founders of Honest Tea, Seth Goldman, still runs Honest Tea. He says he supports GMO labeling laws, but only at the federal level. Of course he knows, just as we all do, that as long as ex-Monsanto gun Michael Taylor is heading up the FDA, a federal GMO labeling law doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of passing.

It’s time to tell Seth Goldman we’re done buying Honest Tea until Coca-Cola, Honest Tea or Goldman himself, support statewide GMO labeling initiatives. And by “support” we mean throwing real money into the fight to label GMOs."

Tell Seth Goldman why you’re boycotting Honest Tea and how he can change your mind:

BUNNY DOES DALLAS ON NY YEAR'S EVE!

They say that whatever you do as you clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve is what you'll find yourself doing for the rest of the year. Well, I'm performing at a strip club in Dallas so I guess I'll be surrounded by lots of d(ck and making money. So bring on 2013!

SCARY!

I attended a party on Christmas Eve at which the conversation took an odd turn. A couple began explaining to me how the wife had taped up the camera on her computer--since the technology exists to monitor us through these cameras. The husband was skeptical and just on a lark, asked an Apple store employee about this practice. The kid pulled out his computer and showed them that his cam was also taped. Still not convinced, the husband was invited by a friend to attend an Occupy Wall Street protest and was told by his friend who was already there NOT to bring his phone. He brought it anyway. And when he got out of the subway and turned it on, a screen showed up on his phone that he'd never seen before indicating monkey business. Coincidence? Or was someone monitoring OWS protestors? I mentioned this to another friend who isn't even very politically-minded yet he'd also blocked the cam on his computer as a safety measure. How widespread is this taping and how paranoid are we of getting spied through our electronic devices? Hummingbird-sized drones are here in this country spying on us now.

Today gave us a new reason to be paranoid. You know how hard it's been to get both parties to agree on anything as the "fiscal cliff" looms? Well, I'll have you know that today a bi-partisan bill passed with ease. Like the impending Bush tax cuts which occur on 1/1, there were only days left to renew the FISA bill which gives the executive branch more powers to eavesdrop on us. Funny how very few American people want fewer civil liberties, yet Congress is eager to pass it with support from both parties--in a hurry and without debate. And Obama is expected to sign it into law. That's funny, he campaigned against it and in this clip is described as making a 180 degree turn on his position. Oh, but he apologized for his desire to trample our privacy and civil liberties when he was taken to task for it. Does that ring a bell? When the president signed the NDAA, he apologized for signing it and claimed he'd never use it. That's the law which enables the executive branch to jail even American citizens indefinitely without even a trial. Power corrupts, and if Obama has actively fought to prevent amendments which he supported on principle just a few years ago, we can only imagine how corrupt he's going to be in his second term. He's crashed expectations in the end of his first term just since winning. So taping up those laptops isn't such a bad idea as Obama moves closer to Big Brother-like surveillance of citizens.

Here's a more in-depth look and what happened in Congress today. They can't get both parties to the emergency fiscal cliff, but they can rush to join the president to screw us even though few of their constituents support these measures. The government no longer represents the will of the people and Obama is leading it. Not a good guy but he knows that you are too busy to care about the Kardashians and Real Housewives to comprehend that he's actively stripping Americans of the freedoms that we are supposedly so proud of in our country. Does a police state sound good to you? Obama and Congress are making it happen. I beg you to watch this and see how our government is working against us. It's dark.

GOOD POINT!

DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY!

I've always thought that Steven Tyler was VERY androgynous!

AN ACTUAL FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATE

I know that gays despise fat and I know that I am overweight. But is this snottiness actually meant as encouragement?

You got some jelly because of Holiday eating, it's ok. Most people do and it's fine if you accept it because you're still getting dick at the end of the day! Now, from January and on you have several months to get in swimsuit shape. XoXo

THE LOST DR. SEUSS?

OBAMA--WORSE THAN BUSH?

We thought that after the moron Bush, we were getting a smart, liberal president in Obama. We didn't. This fascinating interview claims that Obama's actually worse than Bush and as a former constitutional lawyer, Obama knows exactly what he's doing as he sneakily erodes our civil liberties. Merry Christmas!

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE...GAY?

I don't think so. But then again, I didn't have a clue that Rock Hudson was gay until he was on his deathbed.

Why do people always hint that Justin Timberlake is gay? Is it just because he's a good dancer and singer? Or there actual rumors I don't know about? I've never gotten a gay vibe from him ever. He's not bulging at the neck with testosterone to spare or overtly macho but unless people actually have credible stories about him this constant, long-term desire to call him gay baffle me. He's talented, funny, reasonably cute and seems sweet. If that's gay then I'll have some more. 

When I was growing up, there was a distrust among straights of any white guy who was too good at dancing--especially to disco or r&b. It was ok for white guys to pump their fists in the air to Free Bird and Frankenstein, but if they showed some forbidden knowledge of latin dance moves, ballroom style, or soulful rhythms they were gay. That's what was behind that huge bonfire in a Chicago stadium where they burned records chanting DEATH TO DISCO. Granted, some disco had gotten pretty cheesy by then but there was a distrust of anything but rock. It was perceived that suave latin lovers or people tuned inot that world might whirl their women away while clumsy, all-American rock fans sat goofed.

I like him a lot more than the new Justin. And even though I don't care for Justin Bieber and he is feminine, he doesn't actually seem gay either, does he? To use gay as an insult for someone who is probably straight is homophobic, isn't it? (PS: I'm thinking about coming out of the closet myself.)

TWO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ARTICLES!

Christians need to start understanding their religion. Oddly, many of those who think they are the most devout understand it the least. 

Christmas 'Peace on Earth' Means 'No More War' by John Dear

"That's why I've come to the conclusion that no one can claim to be an authentic Christian any more if they support warfare and weapons. You cannot seriously call yourself a follower of the nonviolent, peacemaking Jesus, whom we celebrate and honor at Christmas, if you own guns, support our wars, defend our nuclear weapons arsenal, tolerate executions and catastrophic climate change, and participate in violence in any form. Anyone who supports warfare, weapons or killing, even if they be a priest, minister or bishop, goes against the nonviolent Jesus. To be a Christian is to be a practitioner of creative nonviolence. To follow the peacemaking Jesus means becoming a peacemaker."

A VERY HARRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas came early this year as I joined some on NYC's most notorious nut jobs/visionaries at the Thompson Hotel for a festive fete thrown by Debby Harry, whose black eye (I didn't ask) actually made her appear to have on reverse eye make-up. It's a look that only the most gorgeous women alive should attempt. Her platinum ponytail bounced across her vivid red Christmas gaucho (!) effect with matching hose as she posed playfully with Darian Darling, who was blessed with a t-shirt of the star under clear sequins and a Debby Harry Barbie. Darian had actually baked peppermint, chocolate and cream cheese cupcakes with opalescent edible glitter which topped off a meal of Christmas sushi. I'm so glad that my friends are more imaginative than I am. Barb Morrisson, Micki Kaufman, Johnny Dynell, Chi Chi Valente, Rob Roth, and Todd Thomas bopped to the eclectic tunes by Miss Guy Vanvoores which ranged from Pizzicato Five to Sugarhill's Apache. Justin Vivian Bond showed us a nifty trick to drop 4 shoes sizes. And the ridiculously fun Parker Posey battled Darian for that t-shirt. My favorite moment might have been chanting Parker Posey quickly enough to where it morphed into karposi sarcoma. Because I love Christmas so much! Had a blast.

TAMMIE BROWN IS CRAZY ABOUT CHRISTMAS

JIM BAILEY: ONE OF THE GREATS

FAVE XMAS VIDEOS!

REVIEW: BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL

I'm not the biggest fan of most musicals. Nor am I drawn to cheerleaders, Glee, or anything else with a fresh-faced cast singing their hearts out to corny show tunes. But I got a free ticket to see Bring It On The Musical and absolutely worshipped it! I'd never seen the movies and am usually skeptical of movies made into musicals anyway. But a winner is a winner and I couldn't help but fall in love with this fast-moving, clever romp. And a little ashamed to admit that I cried at one point! Plenty of laughs, too. I lost it with my hands in the air when one particularly competitive schoolgirl goes psycho and lip synchs to a low demon's voice a la The Exorcist. Those little divas worked it and there's even a drag queen character named La Cienega. 

Basically, a pretty, white cheerleader type gets redistricted to a scary (ie ethnic) school. And OMG! It's right as she is voted to take over as her school's cheer captain! Campbell only knows one person at her new school--the heavy, nerdy misfit from her old school who thanks to her big booty, is now a hit with the boys while Miss Perfect is now the social outcast. And in the end, the lesson is that winning isn't all that important if you have to step on people. Never afraid to poke fun at itself, the most clueless blonde bimbo/bitch announces at the end that while there's been a lot of life-changing experiences going on, she always has and still does like herself very much. This show is closing soon and I'd say DO NOT MISS IT! It isn't every day that I find myself cheering with a room full of teenage girls but this show has a much broader appeal than even it's own website's videos convey. Many stand-out singers, dancers and rappers. Jesus--I think some of their youthful exuberance may have rubbed off on me! Nope, that was a hot flash. Only through 12/30. An amazing, well-honed cast and I am literally writing Adrienne Warren a fan letter! I mean I'm tweeting her. Of course us kids don't write actual letters anymore. See you in class after the holidays!

MERRY XMAS!
