DANNY SAYS: THIS IS NEW YORK AT ITS COOLEST

We told you about this film before and this is a reminder that DANNY SAYS opens in Los Angeles this Friday, September 30th at the Sundance Sunset Cinemas in West Hollywood and will also be available on Amazon Video, and VOD.
This movie, Danny Says, is so much fun we didn’t want it to end. If you are fascinated by the revolution of pop culture in New York in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, (or if you were THERE) you’re gonna LOVE this film! Danny Fields was a Harvard educated wannabe hipster who landed in the Village in the 60′s and started writing for Datebook – a teen music oriented magazine. He hung out at Max’s Kansas City and CBGB’s and was thrust into the world of The Beatles, Warhol and The Stooges. He developed a crush on Jim Morrison and declared himself press agent to the up-and-coming Doors, thus opening up new career opportunities. Danny is loaded with hilarious anecdotes – many involving drugs – and comments about the celebs he encountered. He landed a job with Electra Records sniffing for new talent and the crazier they were, the more Danny loved them. Interviews with Danny’s acquaintances and musicians (like Iggy Pop and Lou Reed) add to the humor. Eventually Fields discovered and promoted The Ramones, who wrote the song “Danny Says” – hence the title. This film presents an insiders comical view of a great time in history – we can’t say enough good things about it.

KIM KARDASHIAN RETAINS HER WEIRD COMPOSURE UNDER TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES

The most fascinating aspect of the reccent Paris incident with Kim Kardashian and the Russian prankster is the fact that she never flinched or changed her face throughout the experience! The Russian guy popped up behind Kim and dived under her flimsy skirt to kiss her on the butt. Huge guards leaped after the guy and roughly wrestled him to the ground. There was a lot of shouting and chaos but Kim didn’t bother to stop and look, and never changed her face. (Her eyebrows never even went up!) How can that be? She kept that same peaceful blank robotic look that she always has with Kanye.

REESE WITHERSPOON’S LITTLE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT

Reese Witherspoon's Stunning Daughter Ava Looks Nearly Identical to Her! Reece Witherspoon was spotted with daughter Ava Elizabeth Phillippe and husband Jim Toth arriving into LAX airport

Paparazzi were waiting at LAX when Reese Witherspoon and her daughter Ava Phillippe, 17, arrived, and it was hard to tell who they were after. Reese was understated in black while Ava looked more like a movie star than her mom. She’s a gorgeous combination of her mother and her father Ryan Phillippe, and the photographers love her. Reese says her daughter is interested in art and songwriting, but since her stepfather, Jim Toth, is an agent, we bet she’ll eventually give acting a tumble.

TONY SIRICO IS ALWAYS IN CHARGE

Look who’s appearing in Woody Allen’s currently filming untitled movie set in the late ‘50s: Soprano stars Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa! We didn’t realize it, but this is Tony’s SIXTH movie with Woody. We’ve known Tony for YEARS – in fact, his name was Junior back in those early New York days. Junior (don’t you dare call him that now!) was the doorman/bouncer at a hot club, and he MEANT BUSINESS. His black hair was slicked back and as shiny as his suit. Cute girls were always welcome, but guys had to wait outside. Any guy who got out of line at that club lived to regret it. Oh, and Junior never went anywhere without packing heat. He was the real thing. And now he’s a movie star- who would have guessed!

DON JOHNSON AND CINDY CRAWFORD: TOGETHER FOR MAYBE THE FIRST TIME

It’s that awkward moment when you find yourself waiting a long time for the valet to bring your car and you’re standing next to someone significant and aren’t sure what to say. We bet Cindy Crawford had a little crush on Miami Vice star Don Johnson when she was a teen. Most people did. Five years after the series ended, Cindy was named the highest paid model on the planet, and certainly caught Don’s attention. Time goes by. Now here they are together with their significant others nowhere in sight. It wasn’t long before they were chatting and smiling. By the way, they were both in the process of leaving a Revlon charity event at the Chateau Marmont, hence the gift bag.

TYRA BANKS IS NOT ON MATERNITY LEAVE

Becoming a mother hasn’t been a piece of cake for America’s Top Model host Tyra Banks. She and her Norwegian photographer boyfriend of two years, Erik Asla, became parents to a little boy named York via a surrogate in January. Tyra says that people hesitate to offer her work because she has a baby now and they assume she’s “too busy.” She points out that “New fathers are not treated that way!” Tyra lives in Los Angeles now and there are rumors that she and her baby daddy are having problems – he may be living separately. Tyra turned up at Craig’s restaurant in this unflattering but comfortable jumpsuit without her boyfriend.

THE IFS , ANDS, OR BUTTS OF MODERN ART


Omigosh, it’s time for a perplexing dose of CULTURE! Some of the world’s finest modern art has been assembled for an exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London and artist Anthea Hamilton’s giant buttocks have been creating quite a stir. The story behind the art project is even more interesting. Anthea was inspired by a 1970’s proposal she saw – it was a drawing done by eccentric Italian designer Gaetano Pesce for a DOORWAY in an upper east side building in New York. (Those crazy 70’s!) Can you imagine walking through that entrance every day? Needless to say, the entryway was never built, but now the inspired sculpture is up for a Turner Prize 2016.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MARILYN?

Boy George’s feminine best friend Marilyn stirred up quite a furor a few years back when he declared that Gavin Rossdale was “the love of my life” – they had a drug fueled five year fling back in the 80’s. Marilyn says he was a miserable heroin addict for 20 years but is now reformed. He and George remained friends through thick and thin, and now Boy George has produced a comeback single for his old pal. Interestingly, Marilyn has ditched the long hair and makeup and looks like a man now. He’s billed on the record as “Mister Marilyn.”

NINA HAGEN: STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!

And that’s a GOOD thing. Nina Hagen celebrated the 45th anniversary of her eventful career in London and proved she‘s still got what it takes. The German born singer /songwriter was a huge underground favorite in the late 70’s and 80’s years of punk and new wave. (She earned the title “Godmother of Punk”) Her theatrical attire and extravagant – sometimes operatic- vocalizations made her infamous. We remember back in the 80’s, we had a yard sale with friends and were thrilled when Nina stopped by to shop! She picked out the most outrageous clothes she could find and we were happy to see our stuff have a second life with her.
