Saturday Fluffernutter: Tia and David; Madonna and Guy; Elicia is Maria; RIP Frankie Venom (1957 - 2008) & Levi Stubbs (1936 - 2008)
Posted by st at 5:00 AMSaturday Fluffernutter - all the fluffy news about those nutty celebrities.David Duchovny and Tea Leoni announced they were separating this week, making two the number of women on AHIH's list that have split from their ingrate husbands in the last year: Shania Twain and Tea Leoni. Duchovny, star of the brilliant Californication, recently underwent rehab for "sex addiction," which apparently doesn't mean he's married to Tea Leoni therefore, he can't leave her alone.
Less interesting, if more newsworthy, the definition of "girl with cooties" herself, Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have also split. She apparently referred to him at a concert this week as emotionally retarded. I don't know about his emotions but "married to Madonna" and retarded seem to me to go hand in hand. Not to mention blind and teeming with cooties.
Review in Brief: Rocknrolla: violent, fast and funny - classic Guy Ritchie.
Elicia is Maria, and Alicia MacKenzie and the new Toronto production of The Sound of Music is getting rave reviews. All the reviews I saw gave it highest marks (or stars). It looks like the must see show of the season.
Farewell to Frank Kerr (1957 - 2008), AKA Teenage Head lead singer Frankie Venom who passed away this week of throat cancer at the youthful age of 51. I was never a big fan of the Head, but they play a significant role in my marriage and to this day I meet people who proudly tell me they were at the Ontario Place 1981 Teenage Head riot.
If you grew up in Southern Ontario and are of a certain vintage (2 digit age that starts with a 4 say) then Teenage Head was an important band and cultural influence. Here's hoping it was Some Kind of Fun for Frankie
Farewell as well to Levi Stubbs (1936 - 2008), singer for the Four Tops and legendary voice behind one of the greatest songs of all time: I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honeybunch). I've also always loved his voice over work as the plant Audrey II in 1986's Little Shop of Horrors. Stubbs died Thursday at the age of 72 in Detroit.
