Elizabeth Warren and Stephen Colbert discuss Trump’s RNC speech tonight on the Late Show
The RNC is like Christmas in July
Earlier this week Stephen Colbert opened his show with this Broadway-inspired number, “The Republican National Convention is Like Christmas in July.”
It injects a lot of humor in a little more than 3 minutes and sums up how I feel so I thought I’d share it with you in case you missed it.
Chardonnay Go
If you are 30 or younger, chances are you and all of your friends have downloaded the popular game, “Pokemon Go”. According to papers that are covering the craze, it now has more downloads than the popular dating site Tinder, has surpassed Twitter in daily active users on Android devices and ranks above Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram in the Google Play store.
As a 40-something, I have no fond memories of Pokemon nor am I much of a gamer so I’ve not felt the pull of the craze gripping the nation. That is until I heard about this brilliant spoof video of Pokemon Go called Chardonnay Go, created by (and apparently for) white suburban housewives. Too funny.

If you are a Britney fan you’ll want to see Todrick Hall’s latest video, which he released last week. You’ll be singing along in no time.
Wicked funny: Zachary Quinto performs Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On”
I admit that I’m a Zachary Quinto fan and I’m a Missy Elliot fan so there was no way I wasn’t going to post this video of Quinto putting it on the line in his lip sync battle where he performs “Get Ur Freak On”. I hope it brings a smile to your face as well.
Have a great Saturday night
Justin Timberlake: Can’t Stop The Feeling
While everyone is still talking about the latest release by Beyoncé, Lemonade, earlier this week Mr. Timberlake released a fun new music video for his song Can’t Stop The Feeling, a celebration of shaking off your troubles and busting a move; a perfect song to get ready to on a Saturday evening.
It has been reported that Prince has died
From HuffingtonPost Prince, the legendary musician who brought us countless hits, such as “Purple Rain” and “When Doves Cry,” has died, TMZ reports. He was 57. The award-winning artist died on Thursday at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota. The cause of death has yet to be released.
News of Prince’s death has hit me the way many said they felt when David Bowie’s passing was reported. Not only was his music incredibly influential but his string of hits and protégés who he nurtured and encouraged was impressive to say the least. Although Prince’s influence had waned over the past 20 years, his legacy is impressive and it bothers me to write about his passing.
Which 1980s John Hughes film character are you?
Duckie (played by Jon Cryer) in John Hughes 1986 film “Pretty in Pink”
Writer-director John Hughes defined the 1980s American high school experience with teen comedies such as “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink” and “Sixteen Candles.” CNN currently has a short online quiz that tells you which Hughes character you most resemble.
While a part of me seriously relates to Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald) in Sixteen Candles, I did love Duckie from Pretty in Pink. Who would you be in the John Hughes movie universe? Take the quiz and let me know in the comments section which Hughes character you most resembled.

Crushing on Bryan Bautista from The Voice
Source NY Daily News Bryan Bautista at Barclays Center
I’ve been watching The Voice this season and have to admit I’ve developed a little bit of a crush on the handsome and charming contestant Bryan Bautista. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one – just last week guest coach Miley Cyrus was practically gushing when she talked to him. I’ve come to refer to Bryan as my TV crush. Check out his audition and wait til the very end – he is more than just a handsome face – he is a bit of a practical joker and very funny too.
Cyndi Lauper & Boy George in Boston
It doesn’t get much gayer than this: Saturday, May 21st Cyndi Lauper and Boy George drop by Boston to perform one show at the Wang Theatre. Tickets were available at the time that I wrote this post, but this is a show that will likely sell out (and quickly).
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardis Gras Madonna tribute
I love Australia and I love this Madonna tribute that involved more than 200 volunteers of all ages. Enjoy this fun video and feel free to dance along if you know the dance steps.
Jennifer Garner reads go the f**k to sleep
Have a sense of humor and enjoy this video with Jennifer Garner. Obviously be careful where you play this since the video is laced with profanities. I’m sure parents can relate to this far better than me, but even I think it is hilarious.
