Madonna Like A Prayer

I can’t believe it was 27 years ago today that Madonna’s video for Like A Prayer was released by Sire Records. I can still smell the patchouli infused glued wrapper. In addition to Like A Prayer, I would become obsessed with Express Yourself, Cherish and the unreleased, Act of Contrition.

Sia joins James Corden for “Carpool Karaoke”

I love the singer Sia and the ridiculous wigs she wears so she can maintain her privacy.  She recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden in his reoccurring skit “Carpool Karaoke” and she absolutely crushed it. Enjoy the sing along (and join in) as you pass time and wait for the weekend to start. #TGIF

Baby One More Time with a twist

I’ve featured Yanis Marshall, a French choreographer and dancer who likes dancing in heels. Maybe this will get you in the right mood before you head out.

Adam Driver as Doctor Rockhard on SNL last week

Last week Adam Driver was the guest host on Saturday Night Live.  The show was pretty good but the Doctor is in my butt 4 skit also known as “Porn Doctor” where Driver played Doctor Rockhard was pretty funny.

Here Comes Your Man by the Pixies

I love my pop star divas as much as the next guy but I was a regular listener to WFNX-FM 101.7 Boston for years and bands like the Pixies will always have a special place in my heart. I can’t think of a better song for a Saturday night for all you who may be heading out tonight for drinks and maybe a little more.

Deadpool starring Ryan Reynolds opens Feb 12, 2016

Ryan Reynolds DeadpoolDeadpool, which stars the ever so easy on the eyes, Ryan Reynolds, is based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero. It tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Note that the trailer includes a fair amount of swearing so be careful when watching. Having said that, I think I’m going to check this out when it opens in movie theaters in the US on February 12, 2016.

Cheer up because next week MADtv will host a one hour 20th anniversary reunion special on the CW on Tuesday, January 12th.  I wonder if Granite State native, Josh Meyers (Seth Meyers’ younger brother), will also make an appearance?

Kylie Minogue sings “Off With His Shirt” on ABC’s Galavant

Joshua Sasse, Kylie MinogueFans of Kylie Minogue will want to set their DVRs tonight to see the season 2 premiere of the campy  musical, Galavant, at 8PM ET. Galavant, played by Josh Sasse, is punished by the Queen (a.k.a. Kylie Minogue). You’ll love the catchy ditty she sings in the video I’ve included below, “Off With His Shirt!”.

The video has so many gay references it will make your head spin, including a shirtless Galavant tending bar to a clamoring mass of men and Kylie singing playful lyrics you’d expect to hear in a Ryan Landry or Varla Jean Merman song.

Don’t be shy boys
Go to town
I’ll bet that chest
Is heaven blessed

BosGuy predictions for 2016

So it is official – 2015 is now history. As you may have guessed, I have a few lighthearted predictions for 2016 that I’ve included below in no particular order.

Caitlyn Jenner and Kris JennerCaitlyn Jenner will reconcile with Kris Jenner because while they may not love each other, their love of television ratings will bring them back together. To prove their reconciliation is complete, Caitlyn will legally change her name to Kaitlyn, and Kim, Khloe and Kourtney will use the reconciliation to annoy all of America by talking about it non-stop on every talk show on television.

Kim DavisKim Davis – the infamous Kentucky clerk who refused to sign same-sex marriage licenses – will come out as a lesbian and divorce for a fourth time before finding love with an equally ill-tempered hillbilly lesbian who has a stray cat farm in the Appalachian Mountains.  Thanks to Kentucky state law they can and will apply for a same-sex marriage license and live happily ever after.

Donald Trump for PresidentFOX NEWS and The Republican Establishment will suffer simultaneous aneurysms as they realize the hate they have propagated over the past 25 years has yielded them their weakest crop of candidates in 2016; paving the road for Donald Trump to secure the Republican Party’s nomination for President. Trump’s ego will soar and his rhetoric will follow, alienating the party from crucial groups in the US electorate. November elections will result in Democrats taking back both Houses of Congress and Hillary Clinton being elected the first female president – thereby making America great again.

Do you have any predictions for 2016? Feel free to share.
