How about Pretty Mess (all over my Dress) by Vanity?

Also two New Order related side projects:  Electronic (Bernard Sumner joining forces with Johnny Marr w/guest appearances by Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant) and The Other Two, which showed that perhaps Gillian Gilbert should have done more vocals in New Order instead of the vocally challenged Sumner.

Going back to the 80s, best side project was The Power Station, combining Duran Duran's John Taylor and Andy Taylor, Chic's Tony Thompson and Robert Palmer on vocals.

He also wrote the screenplay for the 1964 remake of Of Human Bondage with Kim Novak and Laurence Harvey, a quite well done version of the story.

Basinger was given the Oscar to make up for the Academy snubbing Veronica Lake in the 40s.

So, she wasn't acting when she played Tracy Flick in Election?  She's a cunt.

Dreamboat Annie by Heart.  First album I bought way back in 77.  That  was my gateway into rock and pop music and Heart always combined rock, folk, and silky female harnonies.

Along with recorded medleys, how about popular acts in the 60s and 70s that in concert would shove most of their hits (except the current one) into a rushed big band style medley?  Many of the Motown acts like The Supremes and The Temptations would do this and devote most of their show to performing show tunes and

This looks so overproduced

The novel King Creole is based on, A Stone For Danny Fisher, by Harold Robbins, is one of Robbins finest books and an excellent story—they changed some of the novel to make it into a Presley vehicle as the Danny in the novel is a Jewish New York City golden gloves boxer who refuses to throw a fight and has to go on

Last month in Manchester, Brandon Flowers and the Killers brought out Bernard Sumner to play Crystal with them.

I've stopped watching current tv series as I'm tired of constant serialization.

This is a show I like to see.  I've only seen George Maharis in one movie, the 1965 Paramount/Joseph E. Levine production "Sylvia" in which Maharis plays a PI hired by Peter Lawford to find out the past of his fiance Sylvia, a mysterious blond poetress played by Carroll Baker.  It's an interesting and at times sleazy

The 1949 noir Too Late for Tears is a perfect example of Duryea playing a weak man who thinks he bad ass but when faced with the real thing, Lizabeth Scott as a bored housewife who will stop at nothing to keep the money that was accidentally tossed into her car one night while driving in the Hollywood Hills, he turns

I've seen one movie Evans made during his acting career:  The Best of Everything, about 3 secretaries who work at a large publishing company in NYC.  Evans can't act, but he is convincing as a rich cad who gets one of the girls pregnant and pretends he wants to marry her when what he's actually up is taking her to New

I'm going with Turner Classic Movies—it's Kim Novak night including an hour long interview she did with Robert Osborne last  year.  She's one of the last living classic movie stars.

The Weight can be fucked up.  Check out the version by Diana Ross and The Supremes and The Tempations.  Something went wrong that day at Motown when they recorded that version.

Frank Ocean bombed horribly. Guy's not ready for such gigs, he needs seasoning. Good thing for him Chris Brown is so vile that more people are focussed on Ocean beating Brown for that award they were both up for. But Ocean's performance was self indulgent and weak and didn't live up to the hype about him. At this

I see no Dance/POp type albums, so I'll throw in:
