The utterly stunning Lana Turner, rocking the turban in 1946′s “The Postman Always Rings Twice.”
Chexy always posts Lana Turner twice.
The “Postman” costume was designed by Irene, who in 1962 slit her wrists (although that’s disputed) and jumped from the 14th floor of the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood (not disputed). She was reportedly distraught over the death of her true love, Gary Cooper, in 1961.
In 1948, legendary film director D.W. Griffith dropped dead in the hotel lobby of a cerebral hemorrhage at 73.
On March 3, 1966, William Frawley (best known as Fred Mertz) collapsed a half block away and was carried to the Knickerbocker lobby where they were unable to revive him.
He was 79.
Gay American poet Frank O’Hara wrote this lovely poem about Lana Turner.
O’Hara, 40, was killed when a dune buggy ran over him on Fire Island, July 24, 1966.

Oh, sad news. Newt Gingrich plans to finally get out of the Republican race for president. Yeah, he’s still in it.
It’s been wonderful having Callista Gingrich’s hair in our midst, and I will look for every opportunity to celebrate it.
God bless America.

Callista Gingrich’s hair won the Georgia primary today, bringing the State of Georgia yet another dubious tonsorial and political distinction, with a whopping 48% of the vote.
Various exit polls were abandoned when pollsters were overcome by hairspray fumes. Two were hospitalized in Gwinnett County alone.
“I know I haven’t got a chance,” said her hair, “because y’all are so jelly of me.”
The hair then refused to speak until it concedes the race to Ann Romney’s vapidity.

Callista Gingrich and her roots sign autographs at a campaign stop.
Newt is apparently doing very badly with women voters.
It seems women don’t like it when men dump their sick wives and get a trophy wife 23 years younger and buy her half a million dollars worth of Tiffany’s jewelry. What a surprise.

For Republican whack job Michelle Bachmann, It’s back to her day job as Satan’s secretary a Minnesota Representative, after the 55-year-old neo-fascist came in 6th in the Iowa caucuses, having received a terrifying 5% of the vote. She can also go back to her husband’s counseling practice (he’s not a licensed psychologist in Minnesota), where they attempt to transform homosexuals into heteros.
This photo doesn’t help.
