Missy Elliott – WTF (Where They From)

Posted on November 14, 2015 | Leave a comment

This week rapper Missy Elliott released her new song WTF (Where They From). Missy teamed up with this Pharrell to produce the catchy song that I predict will be playing in a lot of gay clubs this weekend so I thought I’d share the official video which I can only describe as over the top.

Jordan Smith on The Voice

Posted on November 10, 2015 | 3 comments

Sergio and I have been watching The Voice this season, and ever since the blind auditions I’ve been a bit obsessed with one contestant in particular, Jordan Smith. The unlikely singer from coal country in Kentucky has an amazing voice, but it is his comments after singing that touch my heart the most; unfortunately neither clip capture what I’m talking about but check out his rendition of Chandelier in the video above and his performance from last night when he sang Halo by Beyoncé.

Anyone else watching The Voice? I’m curious if you also think this guy is special.

Hart to Hart 1980s TV series returns to NBC in 2016

Posted on September 27, 2015 | 3 comments

Several gay blogs already wrote about this but I thought I’d share it here as well. The 1980s mystery TV series Hart to Hart is coming back to NBC in 2016 but the show which initially starred Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as a husband-and-wife detective team will be updated to focus on a crime-fighting gay couple.

The new series, coming from Revenge’s Christopher Fife, is promising to be a ‘sexy’ retelling of the original. The news was first reported by Deadline and confirmed by Entertainment Weekly earlier this week.

Madonna’s Rebel Heart beats in Boston tonight

Posted on September 26, 2015 | Leave a comment

Madonna is in Boston tonight with her Rebel Heart tour. She is and has been one of my favorite entertainers ever since I first heard her in the early 1980s. She was a role model, trendsetter and provocateur and I loved her instantly. I’m not at her show tonight but I hope that everyone attending has a great time. I’ve opted to include this vintage clip of Madonna from her Like A Virgin Tour. The medley even includes a nod to Michael Jackson’s Beat It.

Matt Damon returns for Bourne 5

Posted on September 10, 2015 | Leave a comment

Bourne 5 won’t be the name of the sequel set to open in 2016, but it remains untitled so it is the best I could do. The movie which is filming on location, attracted a bit of buzz this week after the producer, Frank Marshall, tweeted out this photo of Matt Damon, who is looking pretty buff.

According to IMDB, Julia Stiles returns (yay!) and the cast also includes Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel and Alicia Vikander, but let’s be frank – what we really want to see is some bad ass, shirtless scenes like the one photographed above with at least one completely unrealistic but still addicting chase scene.

40 Year Old Virgin was released 10 years ago this week

Posted on August 17, 2015 | 1 comment

I was surprised to read that it was 10 years ago this week that The 40 Year Old Virgin staring Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and others was released.

Ten years ago I was working in an office where the average age of most employees was mid-20s and this movie was talked about and quoted non-stop. I couldn’t believe it was released 10 years ago and checked with IMDB which confirmed that Carell’s surprise summer smash was released on August 19, 2005.

Here is a bit from the movie that had me in stitches when I first watched it. Mind the language if you are watching this in your office (NSFW). It is just as funny without the sound.
