Turban Tuesday: Gaddafi

by Chexy on August 31, 2010

International thorn Muammar al-Gaddafi wore this stunning cinnamon turban as he arrived for a two-day visit to Italy.

There are 37 known spellings of his name, but I prefer P-U-T-Z.

Orange You Glad It’s Oprah’s Last Season?

by Chexy on August 31, 2010

Gayle King and her orange hair popped up at the US Open in Queens, where the O buddy looked a little troubled in her Lucite necklace. What do her eyes say?

This is probably the expression Oprah sees when Gayle silently tells her not to eat that slice of pie.

And yes, you can make your own joke there.

Magnum, Purr

Tom Selleck’s eyebrows and moustache at last night’s Emmy awards, and a kitty cat emoticon tee shirt.

So alike, and yet only one was dumb enough to back McCain in 2008.

Big Cabaret Theory, Already

by Chexy on August 30, 2010

Jim Parsons, last night’s Lead Actor in a Comedy Emmy winner for “Big Bang Theory,” and elfin Broadway star Joel Grey in “Cabaret.”

So alike, and yet only one is the son of Yiddish-singing superstar Mickey Katz.

Keeping Up with Kim’s Face

by Chexy on August 30, 2010

It’s finally happened. Kim Kardashian’s face appears to be so shot full of Botox and fillers that she can no longer move it, and her left eye seems to be crippled under the weight of those eyelashes, as seen on the Emmy red carpet yesterday.

Fortunately, she is propelled by the sheer gravitational thrust of her lip liner.

Kim also added “can’t sing” to her list of no talent.

Chexy’s Saturday Matinee

by Chexy on August 28, 2010

Let’s kick it off with some HOT HOT HOT Jackie Wilson! Watch for the jump split!

Betty White love. Watch for the special visitor.

Harrisburg’s own Nancy Kulp, TV’s first lesbian (I think), would have been 89 today. She died of cancer in 1991.

Big finish! Here’s a nearly 60-year-old Ann Miller with a colossal hairdo, a dancing Della Reese, the lovelorn Ethel Merman and that surprise guest again! Can you name the cameos? LOVE BOAT!
