Sometimes dreams really do come true! That handsome man (right) is Boy Culture blogger, Pop Star founder and Encyclopedia Madonnica author Matthew Rettenmund, seen last night with his idol, some woman from Detroit. Madonna!
Matt has been a great friend to your Chexy, linking my stories and being a swell pal and advisor. He has also tormented me at autograph shows while he gets his celebrity “pic withs” and autographs while I take photos like the one above… well, not quite like THAT one. I get to do ones like… Lainie Kazan, which I prefer.
After following and chronicling Madonna’s every move for many years, the opportunity for a photo with her was finally arranged for the internet sweetheart. And he must have heard me saying, “Move back a little, Matt,” because the pic is terrific. Read the story here.
The image of fabulous “Drag Race” superstar Latrice Royale has appeared on a slice of toast in a Grand Slam Breakfast at a Denny’s in Bakersfield, California.
The Vatican immediately issued a statement confirming Latrice’s divinity, saying, “She’s chunky and funky and holy. She’s Latrice Motherfuckin’ Royale.”
That grand lady of Spain, the Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, brought her loveliness to the “Orange and Lemon” in Madrid, where they honor the nice and unpleasant celebs.
Europa Press captured this moment of sheer beauty as the Duchess’ dewy makeup reflected in the purple light of a spring night in Spain (apologies to Cole Porter).
In seemingly unrelated beauty news, Sharon Needles won last night’s “Drag Race” Bitch Ball challenge.
Look who’s back! It’s the glam goddess of the East, Sheikha Mozah! The Sheikha was photographed on Monday, wearing a spectacular turban with a woven gold headband (and that’s gotta be real gold), while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh — wearing his own plain cotton turban — welcomed her to New Delhi.
It’s time to play America’s favorite game, “Can You Guess the Biological Woman?” The host of today’s game, Johnny Lopez, created this cornucopia of curious cuties, who all attended last night’s 45th Anniversary gala for The Advocate.
Answers below the clock. I said “clock.”

That beautiful Friday Face belongs to former network executive Loreen Arbus, age undetermined. We have her to thank for Lifetime and all of its marvelous bio pix. Loreen was photographed at a charity event last night in NYC. Her father was Leonard H. Goldenson, Founder and former Chair of ABC.
If you don’t recognize her, she used to look like this…
Loreen is now active in dozens of philanthropic causes. She is also a professional tango dancer.
Pope Benedict as seen waving to his fans in Havana’s Revolution Square today, and RuPaul as seen in one of this season’s episodes of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
Sharon Needles absolutely nailed it on last night’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Has anyone signed her for a TV show yet? She’d be perfect in late night! She’s certainly funnier than Chelsea Handler… which isn’t saying much. Okay, funnier than Conan. Hmm… she’s funny.
You can catch up on the episodes online. Here’s Monday’s show:
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is packing heat. It’s no surprise to me. That’s why she has to keep her nails bitten down. Long nails mess with your trigger finger.
Wearing her best “Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” chic, Cam visited the set of the Danish TV show “The Killing,” where one of the actresses give her what appears to be the itchiest sweater ever. There’s no doubt Cam needs some new clothes.
Camilla appeared to be overwhelmed by the gift, or she’s just irregular from the Danish food.
I like the way Camilla looks here, it’s as if she were burdened by her own beauty, and I can see how that would happen. She’s positively frumpgasmic.
Camilla’s corral gal glam elevated the booted royal to new levels of gorgeousness, and proved why it’s so important to cover up.
The duchess, a noted equestrienne, looks ready for a horse.
It’s been raining all weekend in Los Angeles, so here’s a cheery scene from “Stormy Weather” with the Nicholas Brothers, Harold and Fayard, with Cab Calloway and his big band. They taught Michael Jackson.
