A while back, I posted about the weird youtube/FOC mashup phenom of people (mostly ladies) videotaping themselves lip-sychning to various Flight of the Conchords songs. Well, seems like the Conchs themselves have gotten wind of this weirdness, and so now HBO is running a Flight of the Conchords Lip Synch contest on their site , in order to promote the new season.
They’ve already posted a few entries; I’m not sure if these are real or faked as examples for further submissions, but anyway, they are fun to watch, and make me so excited for the new season I could almost scream.
Deja Taylor is not your average performer. At only 19 years old, she is an award-winning spoken word artist, a playwright and will be featured in a 2009 HBO Documentary about youth slam poetry.
She’s also not afraid to step up for causes she believes in. Deja recently joined forces with DJ Spooky to produce a video for NARAL Pro-Choice’s free.will.power. initiative. Power is the third video in a three-part series that takes a fresh look at what it means to be pro-choice today.
While some may be wasting precious tv time (and brain cells) watching Britney’s documentary tonite, I was thrilled to catch a show on a very different blonde entertainer, Miss Mitzi Gaynor in her interview special on PBS, called Razzle Dazzle: The Special Years. Perhaps I truly am a gay man trapped in a womans body, but for some reason, I just cant get enough of Mitzi and her outfits and dance moves. Most of the show was scenes from her 70’s variety show, Razzle Dazzle (filmed when she was in her early 40’s), she had a truly amazing physique but she’s just a juggernaut of go-go moves and Bob Mackie vegas glitz, it’s really fun. The PBS show is interspersed with live Mitzi (she looks fabulous btw) discussing her various roles like in South Pacific etc, but its the Razzle Dazzle that gets me. I guess variety shows (ala Sonny and Cher) are a thing of the past, I can’t think of anyone that could pull this off today, I dare you to watch this and not crack a smile.
Why is this show so good? No matter what else is on, I will immediately dig into any episode, especially since it seems like it ’s always on, airing on about every channel except PBS. Hugh Laurie is peculiarly attractive to me, even tho he’s totally not my type. Just re-watched the episode where House gets shot and that other guys’ balls explode on USA, and now I can just flip to Fox for more episodes, this is good tv, people, and plenty of it.
New ‘Jackie and Debra’ video from one of my fav comedians, John Roberts! John is the BUST Boy du Jour for our upcoming December issue, be sure to check out my interview with him! If you’re not familiar with John’s work, you must watch his youtube vids here. The ‘mom’ videos are my personal favs. And if you haven’t seen the first ‘Jackie and Debra’ video, do it here.
One of my absolute favorite movies is on TCM tonight at 9, Freaks (1932), and it is so delightfully wrong, I promise you won’t be able to tear yourself away. Set your Tivo’s, as TCM is in the midst of 48 hours of great Horror flicks, including The Devil Doll, Mad Love and the original Cat People.
I don’t want to discuss this weeks Mad Men in case some of you slackers are waiting to watch still, but I was happy to see a nice interview with Christina Hendricks, aka Joan Holloway in this Sunday’s Post, Page Six. Click here for the interview where she discusses the problem of being a bodacious broad in Hollywood. ‘No one will send me dresses,’ she says. ‘Designers loan size 2 or 4 samples to actresses, but I’m not that size. It’s like I’m a freak because I’m curvy and I can’t squeeze into those things. I’ve had some problems with that.’ This is definitely a problem we come across often here at BUST when trying to get clothes for some of the ladies we photograph that are not toothpicks. It’s ridiculous. Is it that hard to make few samples in larger sizes? Apparently so.
