The lost Gay Carrington screen test for “Double Indemnity.” Damn that Stanwyck!

The image of Marilyn Monroe is everywhere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival — it’s part of the themed graphic of the 65th anniversary.

Here she is being hung by workers (and who doesn’t love hung bi workers?) at the Festival Palace.

A little Mozart to start.

Keeping it simple.

Happy Mother’s Day.

This is life-affirming. Fred Astaire b. May 10, 1999.

The magnificent, towering, mostly despised Marilyn sculpture that has been waving its dress in the air over Pioneer Court in Chicago is being dismantled for a trip to California. Most people wait until they get here to get ripped apart.

The 26-ft. work, titled “Forever Marilyn,” was created by Seward Johnson, is now bound for Palm Springs.

The dress Marilyn wore in “The Seven Year Itch,” on which the sculpture is based, sold last June for $4.6 million to an unknown buyer.

It had been in the collection of Debbie Reynolds, who bought it when 20th Century Fox unloaded all of Marilyn’s wardrobe in 1971.

Sharon Needles has won RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4, and all is right with the world. The weird boy in school, Aaron Coady of the unlikely Newton, Iowa, has been crowned — and we are all better for it. Hooray for the steel mills of Pittsburgh that forged this gorgeousness into an instant legend.

Giving a star-mix of wit and spooky fun, the face of drag is forever changed, as she joins the pantheon of ladyboy greats who sashay their way through the dragalaxy!

Congratulations to Sharon, for gallantly representing triumph over bullies, wit over anger, and gore with the glitz. She is, at once, a star in our bloody hearts!

Watch the full episode below.

Milton “Shorty” Rogers was born on this day in 1924. Let’s get really groovy. Listen to this as you go on about your internet business.

Lauren Bacall, then and now.

Gorgeous.

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.”

Yeah, a Vatican spokesman said that.

I just found this picture of John F. Kennedy at age 23 in 1940.

What a mug!
