Magnum, Purr

by Chexy on August 30, 2010

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.

Chexy’s Saturday Matinee

by Chexy on August 21, 2010

Jackie DeShannon is 66 today! Here she is on Shindig, from 1965… with choreography by the American Psychiatric Association.

And now, Celebritweets Theatre.

Another cartoon, why of course! It’s Saturday… here’s one from Mark Fiore.

Marsha Hunt, in a rare singing turn in 1941′s “Unholy Partners” — watch for Edward G. Robinson to pop up! Marsha is still with us… she’ll be 93 in October. I love her in “Smash-Up, The Story of a Woman.” The gawker is William T. Orr, who married Jack Warner’s stepdaughter, Joy Page, giving rise to the phrase “The son-in-law also rises.”

Antonio Banderas is 50 today. One of the best screen Zorros ever… and the best Nasonex bee.

American Idol, American Dad

by Chexy on August 9, 2010

Simon Cowell’s curiously shaven moobs and torso as seen in France this weekend, and Roger the Alien.

So alike, and yet only one is sarcastic and sounds like Paul Lynde.

Plaza Suite

by Chexy on July 29, 2010

Designer Betsey Johnson as she appeared today with an Eloise doll at some nonsense for rich children who stay at the Plaza Hotel.

So alike, and yet one has weird clothes, fake hair and dead eyes.

Happy Birthday, William Hanna

by Chexy on July 14, 2010

William Hanna of Hanna-Barbera was born 100 years ago today. By 1937 he was working at MGM and met his lifelong collaborator, Joe Barbera.

They opened their own studio in 1957, and the rest is animation history: The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Huckleberry Hound, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, etc.

This was their first effort in 1940, Puss Gets the Boot, which became Tom and Jerry. This cartoon won them their first Oscar nomination.

Hanna died in 1991 at age 90.

Edgar Rice Burroughs not only wrote “Tarzan,” he also wrote “John Carter of Mars,” this curiously illustrated edition published in 1940.

Betty Deuce as Nell Fenwick

by Chexy on July 4, 2010

Here’s a queen who doesn’t like to get a Mountie behind.

A cranky-looking Betty Deuce popped on this pink corker of a bonnet to visit the Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg on Saturday.

The Mountie is someone she met on Craigslist.
