Yes, yes, yes, we all know that Michael Jackson is dead at 50. It’s kind of hard not to notice, unless you’ve been living on fucking venus or something. But here’s some interesting facts. One of the most shocking is the coroner’s report which stated that MJ weighed 112 pounds (at 5’10:), was bald , covered with needle marks, had no nose and was missing many teeth. His body looked like an actual skeleton and nothing like the man millions had come to know, love and despise. Was MJ really a pedophile or , in his mind, was he still 10-years-old and thought his sleepovers and playing doctor were innocent? I think no one will know. Will he be cast to hell or heaven (if they exist)? I think that there are scales of justice, and if the good he’s done in his life outweight the evil then he’ll find a place in heaven. If he’s done more evil, then, well, you know. Read the rest of this entry »
Okay, once again I get to suspend my sexual preference, at least for an evening, and attend the greatness that is the Divine Miss M. Bette Midler, who, at 63 is as raunchy and bawdy as ever. She seems to be in great shape, pacing the stage in Peg Bundy fashion and calling out to “Let’s hear it from the Jews, now let’s hear it from the Christians, now let’s hear it from the gays!”
Playing at the same venue as Elton John and Cher, this time we got free orchestra tickets. The show starts out really quite ingeniously.
For the time the audience is loading in you’re looking at a projected graphic advertisement of Bette’s “The Showgirl Must Go On,” with her in white hot pants sitting in the middle of the Nevada desert. Then as the show actually starts the graphic pulls away to show that it’s a billboard on the side of the long desert stretch of highway leading into Vegas. Donkeys and buzzards stare at us as the band walks over the boulder backdrop and takes place on the stage. A tornado rips through the desert tearing apart the billboard. It picks up cars and trucks on the highway and spins them around a la Wizard of Oz. The tornado tears through the desert and into Las Vegas, tearing up the strip. The tornado heads to Caesar’s Colosseum and proceeds to blow it apart as the stage gets hit by wind and smoke (the tornado is entering the theatre) and from the midst the Divine Miss M appears out of the tornado.
With her backup singers The Harlettes and her dancing show girls, the Caesar Salad Dancers, they go through a series of popular songs from the 30s through the 80s. Read the rest of this entry »

Confession: I have never sat through an entire episode of Star Trek, nor seen any of the ten prior films belonging to the franchise up until this latest reboot. As scientifically proven to be true with 4 out of 5 people, I consider myself a Star Wars fan if anything, making me somewhat proud of such ignorance…that is until now. In Star Trek XI, Director J.J Abrams wipes the slate clean and achieves the seemingly impossible; he’s made Star Trek ‘cool’. Regardless of whether you’re fluent in Klingon or not, Abrams’ reboot is an exciting sci-fi action extravaganza well worth the Trek.
Captained by the malicious Nero (Eric Bana), a large alien spacecraft mysteriously emerges from a ’space thunderstorm’ before attacking heavily outclassed Federation ship. Surviving the attack is Winona Kirk, returning to Earth to raise her newborn son James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), who grows up to be a rebellious troublemaker. Meanwhile, an exceptionally bright half-human half-Vulcan student by the name of Spock (Zachary Quinto) is struggling to fit in because of his impure bloodline. Hoping to prove something to themselves and their naysayers, the two join the space cadets where they are both fast tracked into duty on-board the newly commissioned U.S.S. Enterprise. Their first mission is to aid in the recovery of a Federation ship, whose last transmission mentioned a ’space thunderstorm’ much like the one from the day Kirk was born.
