Not much has been said or revealed about Drew Barrymore’s upcoming project “Santa Clarita Diet.” Yesterday, Vulture revealed a major plot twist: it’s infact about zombies! From her iconic role as the slain babysitter in Wes Craven’s Scream, to the forgetful (but lovable) leading lady in 50 First Dates, Barrymore is known for taking risks and we think this turn to stream-time TV is a delicious one.

Check it out:

Last spring, we heard the news that Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, two very charming people, would star as a married couple in a Netflix show about suburban life called Santa Clarita Diet. The plot description mentioned that “Sheila [Barrymore] goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction … but in a good way,” which seemed to refer to the fact that she adopts a hip lifestyle or possibly gets into musical improv. This is not the case. In Drew Barrymore’s Netflix show, Drew Barrymore eats people.

Jezebel first picked up that something was amiss yesterday, citing a few tabloid ads for the show that feature Drew hawking a very bloody finger smoothie. But USA Today got a better sense of the story in an interview with Barrymore herself. “The ‘dramatic change’ Sheila undergoes in the series opener is, in fact, death,” USA writes. “And while they tend to their open houses and teenage daughter, the couple must sate Sheila’s unbridled id and undead hunger, first with raw meat and, eventually, the human kind.”

Barrymore’s incipient zombiism then turns into a whole finding-your-truth metaphor for the character, in an Eat, Pray, Blood sort of way. “We do this sort of Cro-Magnon type of evolution with her over the course of the 10 episodes. No gimmicks, no prosthetics, just an awakening,” Barrymore told USA Today. “I just really enjoyed shedding a snakeskin with her, so it became a really fun obstacle that I wasn’t even planning for but seemed so conducive and fun and healthy for my own life.” No word on whether that means the actress actually chowed down on brains for the sake of art.

Creator Victor Fresco (of the wacky Better Off Ted, which is a sign we probably should’ve been more suspicious earlier) added that the cause of Barrymore’s character’s death and rebirth isn’t clear, at least in the pilot. “Presumably, she has been exposed to something — although we don’t know what — which is making her feel a bit off,” Fresco said.

To confirm the news that you will soon have the ability to watch the star of Never Been Kissed shove a few limbs in her kisser, here is a Santa Clarita promo still that Netflix added to its site today.

This is like a donkey punch to my VERY SOUL. Not DOOL. Please not DOOL! ANYTHING BUT MY BELOVED DOOL! I started watching Days of Our Lives during the heady days of Marlena’s possession, and have stuck around through aborted swamp fetuses and microchips in dental crowns and Kristin-pretending-to-be-Susan-pretending-to-be-Kristin and and the yummy space aliens the Gemini Twins in their silver lame hotshots and the serial killer who killed Alice– sweet Alice! –by making her choke on her beloved donuts…

And now you’re telling me that it’s being replaced by FREAKIN’ MEGYN KELLY?

Noooooooooooooo.

Megyn Kelly’s new gig at NBC was announced just two days ago, and rumors of her wrecking ball-like introduction to the network have already begun. People reports that rumors are a’brewin’ that Kelly, who was offered the chance to host a daytime show in addition to a “Sunday evening news magazine program” and “breaking news coverage,” may nab the “coveted 1–2 p.m. slot” currently held by the long-running soap opera, Days of Our Lives.

A source tells the magazine that the “several cast members have been told that this upcoming year of the series will likely be its last,” as their current contract “only carries them through 2017.”

As I read those words, I am rocking back and forth, willing myself to go to the “safe space” in my head.

What will I tell my 82-year-old mother? We watch it over the phone together every night!

This is simply too much. DAMN YOU, 2017! Already claiming your first victim! (via Jezebel)

Together forever…

And we are hearing that she will be carried into the next realm, in a giant Prozac pill!?

The actress’s brother, Todd Fisher, explained the odd choice of urn Friday, saying it was his sister’s favorite thing,

“Carrie’s favorite possession was a giant Prozac pill that she brought [sic] many years ago. A big pill. She loved it, and it was in her house, and Billie and I felt it was where she’d want to be.

We couldn’t find anything appropriate. Carrie would like that. It was her favorite thing, and so that’s how you do it. And so they’re together, and they will be together here and in heaven, and we’re OK with that.”

Fisher as you know died December 27, after suffering a heart attack while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. Her mother, Debbie Reynolds, died one day later at age 84 saying,

“I want to be with Carrie.“

The documentary about mother and daughter, Bright Lights Starring Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher premiers tomorrow on HBO. Get out your handkerchiefs.

The post January 7th: It’s YOUR Birthday, Bitch! appeared first on The WOW Report.

January 7, 1911– Butterfly McQueen:

“As my ancestors are free from slavery, so I am free from the slavery of religion.”

Her career included work on Broadway, films and television. But poor McQueen, her reputation rests on a small role in a 1939 film that became a phenomenon, and by most measures, the biggest film of all time. It is a role no black performer would ever desire, a dimwitted slave who gets slapped by the heroine.

Like so many others, I was first attracted to Butterfly McQueen when, as a youth, I saw her as Prissy in Gone With The Wind. She was someone I laughed at, a character whose foolishness, smugness and dizziness was so outrageous that it was hilarious. She was someone who stirred my sense of the appalling, and high camp. Her: “I don’t know nothin’ about birthin’ no babies” became part of my lexicon.

She had this odd baby-doll voice and her arms flailed about like useless wings, along with those big white teeth and the rolling whites of her eyes. Plus, there were the names that got my attention: Prissy played by Butterfly McQueen; Butterfly McQueen is Prissy. I sensed that the names meant something funny and frightening. I already had the hints that I was a nascent queen and that I might be prissy.

Up there on the screen, among the births, battles and burning was an enactment of my own nervousness, my early hints that I also had the capacity to bring contempt and amusement, and to appall and betray.

I saw GWTW again in a revival house in Paris in the summer of 1969, just weeks after the Stonewall Riots. Odd, I know, but sort of romantic because I ducked in to the theatre just to get out of the rain. I hated the film, even as a teenager, I found it overwrought and over-long. I watched McQueen’s Prissy again a decade later, and I still disliked the film, maybe even more this time because the racism made me so uncomfortable. But, I also saw something different in McQueen’s performance; this time I saw the capacity for revenge masked in a trance of oppression, and that part I liked.

In the famous film, the character of Prissy is seen wandering home having failed to get the doctor to help with the birthing of Melanie’s Wilkes’ baby. She is singing and thinking about something. I thought she was stupid at my first viewing, but the second time, I saw Prissy as pressing against her oppression. Unconsciously entranced, she is taking revenge on those who have enslaved her. She lies brazenly and fails her masters’ task to extract revenge. She is hysterical with hatred and what better cover than what they demand of her: hopeless, useless stupidity. This is what they had forced on her and Prissy smartly grabs her opportunity.

In this viewing, Prissy’s walk back to Tara and the expectant Melanie and Scarlett seemed to take an extra-long time. I was taken with her moment, as she sang, winding her way back to the source of her oppression. Why should she hurry? As the doctor later tells Scarlett, there is nothing much to birthing babies. Prissy must have known this. If she had taken a knife and cut its throat, I would have understood. This was at a time in my and my country’s history, when gays guys could be jailed for having sex. I totally got Prissy.

McQueen’s Prissy had a correlation with my own wariness and tapped-down anger. The actor and the character gave me an opportunity to look at myself and the situation with my gayness, and decide on a course of action.

Now, thinking about her, it seems so perfect that McQueen would graduate with a degree in Political Science 35 years after filming her most famous role.

Playing Prissy in Gone With The Wind was not a rewarding experience for McQueen. She later wrote:

“A stupid girl. That’s what Prissy was. And producer David O. Selznick knew it was a stupid part and that I was an intelligent person. However, I did my best. My very best. And Mammy (Hattie McDaniel) told me: `You’ll never come to Hollywood again. You complain too much.’ “

She was born Thelma McQueen in Tampa, Florida, the daughter of a dockworker and a maid. After she left school at 14-years-old, she worked as a nanny, but not mammy, and at a factory before deciding to become an actor. When she was 21-years-old, McQueen joined the Negro Youth Theatre Project in Harlem and danced in the Butterfly Ballet sequence in their production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She soon changed her professional name to Butterfly, aptly describing her stage and screen persona. In films like The Women (1939) and Mildred Pierce (1945) the diminutive McQueen didn’t need close-ups to claim her presence. With her arms in constant motion, just like a butterfly’s wings, she always captured audiences’ attention. Then, when she spoke, she stole the scene with that crazy voice, thought to be even higher than a soprano.

For decades, her role as Prissy in GWTW was dismissed as a highly objectionable racial caricature. Yet, despite this, her performance shows fragility and absurdity with a combination of the comic and the pathetic.

After appearing as Lillian Gish’s servant girl in Selznick’s Western equivalent to GWTW, Duel In The Sun (1946), McQueen walked away from film work. She had grown unhappy playing what she described as “handkerchief head” roles.

She did appear in the television comedy Beulah (1950-53), one of the earliest shows to feature an African-American lead. She played the best friend of the title character, played first by the great Ethel Waters, and later by Louise Beavers. Predictably, both characters worked as maids.

“I didn’t mind playing a maid the first time because I thought that was how you got into the business. But, after I did the same thing over and over, I resented it. I didn’t mind being funny, but I didn’t like being stupid. When I wouldn’t do Prissy over and over they wouldn’t give me any more work. But today, young black people come up to me and say you opened doors for us.”

After leaving Hollywood behind, McQueen had to find work outside of the acting profession. Her jobs included being a sales assistant in Macy’s toy department in Manhattan, a taxi dispatcher in the Bronx, and horrifyingly, as an actual maid in Atlanta. In the 1970s, she dedicated herself to social work in Harlem, and sought an education. At 64-years-old, she received her degree from the City College Of New York.

She returned to performing and found stage work, including in the Off-Broadway musical The Athenian Touch (1964). McQueen was in the original version of the stage musical The Wiz (1974) playing the Queen Of The Field Mice, a character from the original L. Frank Baum book, but the role was cut by director Geoffrey Holder, who had been brought in during out-of town previews. McQueen did play the part of Addaperle later in the run. In 1978, she toured in one-woman show Butterfly McQueen And Friends. McQueen:

“When you get old they want to put you on the shelf and forget about you. When they tried to do it to me, I just came out singing and dancing and showed them I’m not finished up yet.”

In 1979, she won an Emmy Award for her role in The Seven Wishes Of A Rich Kid, one of those ABC After-School Specials. Her last film role was in Peter Weir’s The Mosquito Coast (1986), starring Harrison Ford. She said:

“Peter Weir told me to make up my own dialogue but I did it so well he cut most of it out.”

McQueen took part in the 50th Anniversary of Gone With The Wind events in 1989, making personal appearances. But, she always made it clear that she hated playing the role of Prissy:

“I was suffering the whole time. I didn’t know that I’d have to be just a stupid little slave. I wouldn’t let Vivien Leigh slap me, and I wouldn’t eat watermelon. I was very sensitive about that. Of course, thinking about it now, I could have had fun eating that watermelon and spitting out the pips while everyone went by!”

McQueen never married or had any children. Nothing in my research points to any romances. I don’t know if she was a lesbian, but her GWTW costar Hattie McDaniel, who played Mammy, was gay and had an affair with Tallulah Bankhead.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation honored her with its Freethought Award in 1989. McQueen:

“I’m an atheist and Christianity appears to me to be the most absurd imposture of all the religions, and I’m puzzled that so many people can’t see through a religion that encourages irresponsibility and bigotry. They say the streets are going to be beautiful in Heaven. Well, I’m trying to make the streets beautiful here. When it’s clean and beautiful, I think America is heaven. And some people are hell.”

McQueen left this world in 1995, taken in a fire at her apartment. She left all of her money to the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Fox says FU, Trump…

“TRUMP, when will you understand that I am not paying for that fucken wall. Be clear with US tax payers. They will pay for it.

Follow by a second blast,

“Sr Trump,the intelligence report is devastating. Losing election by more than 3M votes and in addition this. Are you a legitimate president?“

Fox’s dig at Senior Trump comes after the US intelligence community concluded in a declassified report released that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an “influence campaign” aimed at hurting Hillary Clinton and helping Trump. In addition, he lost the popular vote to Clinton by 2.9 million votes (almost 3 million) which is something of a touchy subject for Emperor Cheeto.

On Thursday, Fox tweeted,

“Trump may ask whoever he wants, but still neither myself nor Mexico are going to pay for his racist monument. Another promise he can’t keep.“

Trump is still insisting that Mexico will ultimately pay billions for the construction of a massive wall along the southern border.

Fox was one of Trump’s harshest critics during the 2016 election. During Trump’s campaign, he called him a “false prophet” and during an interview in May he said the then-Republican nominee heralded the return

“to the era of the ugly American“

And Fox cursed on live TV in February while talking about Trump and his proposed border wall,

“I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall.“

We love him.

Would you DIE to see Alec Baldwin walking around NYC wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in Russian!!?

Yes, the actor and #1 Trump impersonator on Saturday Night Live, was spotted on the streets of New York City sporting this red hat.

The timing for said hat couldn’t be better, as Emperor Cheeto sat down with security officials on Friday who told him the Russians helped him win the election — an assertion that Trump denies because it would contribute to the belief that his win is suspect having lost by nearly 3 million in the popular vote.

Baldwin posted it to Instagram for all the world to see. Talk about a national treasure.

Author David King NAILS why the whole country should be singing the praises of Emperor Cheeto! The description on Amazon is brief and succinct,

“This book is full of blank pages. Despite years of research, we could not find anything to say on this subject, so please feel free to use this book for notes.”

Despite the sparseness of information, some of the reviews on Amazon are raves…

“Now, I’ve read some books in my day. I really can read. I read a lot. I’m great at reading… the best. In fact, there are teenagers living in their parents’ basements who can tell you all about it on Twitter. They know I’m fantastic. If anyone has anything to say otherwise, they’re crooked crybabies. I can read all sorts of books. I think reading is great. I’m fantastic at reading. It’s probably my best skill (unless we’re talking about something else in which case whatever we’re talking about is my best skill). If you don’t think I’m the best at reading, it’s probably because you are a member of one of the many subgroups of the population for which I have no respect.

Wait… was I supposed to be talking about something other than myself, some sort of topic or something? I either forgot or awkwardly got out of it. I’m also excellent at forgetting and awkwardly getting out of things.“

January 8, 1911– Gypsy Rose Lee

My friends who care about such things understand that Jule Styne–Stephen Sondheim–Arthur Laurents‘ Gypsy (1959) is my favorite musical. I think it is a perfect piece of theatre. I consider Gypsy to be the highest of human accomplishments.

I am well connected in Hollywood and my insiders tell me that Barbra Streisand still plans to produce, direct and star in a new film version of this classic show. Streisand, too old to play the role of Gypsy Rose Lee’s mother by decades, states:

“Age is just a number; some people look old at 45. Some people look younger at my age… I saw CGI of an actor that made him go from 60 to 30, by the way. What they can do now, technically. It should happen, but it just takes forever.”

“Forever” must have meant waiting for Arthur Laurents to die. Laurents, who wrote the script for the original and had held rights to all productions, was not in favor of Streisand playing Mama Rose on film.

It has been filmed before, with Rosalind Russell as an effective, but the softest of Mama Roses. Hardcore Musical Theatre people love to opine about the casting of any Mama Rose. I admire Streisand’s talent as a director, but I am afraid that at nearly 75 years old, she is a tiny bit long-in-the-tooth for a character that starts the story in her 30s. Streisand might break a hip. Still, Streisand doing that great sung monologue, Rose’s Turn, intrigues.

She was dismissed as “untalented” by her own mother, but Gypsy Rose Lee remains a source of inspiration even 47 years after she took that final curtain call.

Born Rose Louise Hovick in Seattle to a teenage mother right out of a convent, she got an early start in show business, appearing with her little sister June Hovick in a Vaudeville act when she was just 8-years-old. It was apparent that the sister, Baby June, was the true talent of the siblings. From the start of their act, Louise was pushed to the background while June was moved to the center stage and given a special pink spotlight.

The family moved to Hollywood with an act named Dainty June, The Hollywood Baby, And Her Newsboys. Their mother, Rose Thompson Hovick, had an overbearing determination to see her young daughters have successful stage careers and she divorced her husband to become the girls’ full-time manager.

In their teenage years, Louise and June had the responsibility of supporting the family. They traveled all over the USA, playing cheap Vaudeville theatres, living out of suitcases, and skipping school. When June was 13-years-old, she eloped with fellow vaudevillian Bobby Reed. The sister act was finished.

Louise was unable to generate much interest as a solo act. At 17-years-old, and stranded in Kansas City without a booking, she was approached by an agent about appearing in a Burlesque show when the usual stripper had landed in prison. Despite Mama Rose’s objections, Louise took the gig and was reinvented as Gypsy Rose Lee.

Lee made her NYC debut in 1931, at Minsky’s Famous Republic Theatre, the first Burlesque house on Broadway. Comedians Abbott And Costello, Phil Silvers, and Red Buttons were on the same bill, but the strippers were the stars. At the height of the Great Depression, a strip tease artist could make more than $2,000 a week. Lee played 12 weeks in a row at The Republic, setting a record for the theatre. She was arrested during one of the many police raids on Minsky’s theatres. This only helped her become even more popular.

Lee didn’t perform the usual bumps and grinds of traditional Burlesque routines. She developed a special slow strip which she accompanied with a smart patter song. Her patter was her biggest asset. In those days, women made up half of the typical Burlesque audience, and Lee became famous for her onstage wit and sophistication.

When she turned of 33-years-old, Lee decided she wanted have a child. She told her sister June that she wanted to select the father, and he needed to be:

“The toughest, meanest son of a bitch that I can find, somebody who’s ruthless, and my child will rule the world.”

Her choice was the great Hollywood film director Otto Preminger. Lee slept with him just one time. When he was 18-years-old, her son, Erik Lee, demanded to know why she wouldn’t tell him who his father was. Her retort:

 “Because it’s none of your business.”

Lee’s Gypsy: Memoirs Of America’s Most Celebrated Stripper (1957), plus that landmark stage musical and the film based on it, made Rose even more notorious than the daughter. Lee’s book was a bestseller, but she could have sold even more copies had she told the real story about herself and her mother. Rose hounded her daughters for decades, demanding money and credit for their fame.

June, the sister, became June Havoc. She not only starred in the premiere of the great Rodgers and Hart musical Pal Joey (1940), she wrote a pair of memoirs that told the story of her long career as an acclaimed actor and stage director. Havoc took her final curtain call in spring 2012.

The musical Gypsy is a horror show wrapped up as a showbiz fable. Rose Hovick is the scary monster. The musical and the memoir were, like everything else having to do with that family, highly fictionalized. It turns out that Rose, who wrote the manual on how to be a stage-mother, was actually worse in real life. She was an epic bully, enabler, and manipulator, plus she was guilty of at least two murders, and possibly a third. And, most dreadful of all… she was probably a lesbian.

The essence of Gypsy is basically true though. Rose’s voracious, inhuman ambition, the early fame of Lee’s little sister who could toe-dance at the age of two as “Baby June” on the Vaudeville circuit, and the desperation that set in when radio, films and the Depression made Vaudeville extinct, those are all fact. June really did elope with one of the act’s chorus boys. It was true that Louise could not sing, dance or act, but she was willing to take her clothes off on stage, and smart theater owners recognized that the way she did it was something special.

After one of her many arrests, Lee stated:

“I was completely covered… in a blue spotlight”.

Her talent for publicity made her a household name. The more famous and adored she became, the fewer garments she had to take off.

“Funny thing about show people, they think if you’re not in Hollywood or on Broadway making a couple of thousand a week, taking guff from everybody and his cousin, and sweating out poor crowds, you’re not doing well. But, I’ve been touring the country playing nightclubs and making twice as much as I made in the movies, and having more fun! I get a lot more fishing done, for one thing, and I can live in my trailer and see the country.”

Through the decades, Lee and her sister continued to fight, then reconcile. Havoc helped Lee get through her final battle with that damn cancer, finally taken in 1970 at just 57-years-old. But, when Lee was on her deathbed, she whispered to her son Erik:

“After I go, don’t let June in the house. She’ll rob you blind.”

If she interests you, and she should, I recommend American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare, The Life And Times Of Gypsy Rose Lee (2011) by Karen Abbott. Erik Preminger is now in his early 70s. He works as an actor and writer, with his own memoir titled G-String Mother: My Life With Gypsy Rose Lee. He wrote of his famous mother:

“She was a true-life Auntie Mame, only better.”

You might know Paul Rudnick from his work on movies like Addams Family Values, The First Wives Club, In & Out, and the screen version of his play Jeffrey. He’s written many other things, but I’ve been following his posts on Facebook lately and his astue observations have turned to politics, recently summing up why Emperor Cheeto. is so desperate for approval and respectability.

As with most demagogues, Trump continues to be denied the one thing he yearns for: respectability. I’m not saying this is even an admirable goal, but he longs for it. If he hates elitist publications like the New York Times and Vanity Fair, why is he obsessed with them? He keeps tweeting his disdain for Alec Baldwin and SNL – so why does he keep watching?

If he truly doesn’t care about the fact that no A-List celebrities will attend his Inauguration, why does he keep trying to turn Jackie Evancho, a runner-up on a reality show singing competition, into a star, tweeting about how, since she’s agreed to sing for him, her album sales have risen (by not very much)?

Trump would love to be hosting, say, George Clooney and Beyonce, but it’s not going to happen. For most of his life Trump was a Democrat, the party of the elites, but he couldn’t gain much traction. He became a Republican by default: it was the only party that would, however reluctantly, include him. Whenever he gets justifiably attacked he tweets about the “passion” of his followers and “the power of our Movement” but it’s a fallback pose and reeks of self-serving desperation.

Trump’s achieved everything he’s ever wanted, including great wealth, the company of beautiful women and now the Presidency, but it’s all tainted. His businesses are cheesy at best and keep failing. His marriages to much younger women all seem like financial arrangements, with ironclad prenups and nondisclosure contracts in place. He’s the President-Elect but he lost the popular vote by over three million and he remains despised.

Trump is like one of those peasant characters in a Chekov play, sucking up to the aristocrats who continue to spurn him. In these plays the peasant often ends up buying the aristocrats’ estate, tearing it down and selling off the land. Trump bought Mar-a-Lago, the fabled retreat of American heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and turned it into a country club and resort.

If Trump were a true rebel none of this exclusion would bother him. But demagogues always picture themselves as royalty, building the most garish castles and surrounding themselves with fawning courts filled with fellow D-listers.When Trump met with Obama he was instantly and obviously out-classed especially because Obama was so gracious.

Trump’s nose-pressed-to-the-glass vulgarian status is part of what got him elected. Trump voters don’t just hate the snobbish elites, they’re jealous of them. Why keep attacking college-educated liberals unless you secretly believe that they’ve got something you want? When voters feel not just insulted but deprived they can turn vicious and vengeful.

The elites aren’t guilt-free in all this and they could use some raucous vulgarity to energize them. But for the most part the elites are an illusion, created by people like Trump. Most of Hillary’s voters were middle or working class and as embattled as anyone else.

Trump’s followers have no interest in jobs or change or even America. They don’t want to blow things up and fix the system. They want to be valued, which is understandable. But they also want to punish the people they see as insiders – the people they can never become. This is a class war and a taste war, which Trump will always lose. It’s often a ridiculous war as well, because it distracts from far more important issues of poverty, discrimination, warfare and education. But these topics don’t interest Trump so he outsources them to hacks and relatives. On the deepest level, Trump wants to be embraced by the people who’d never stay at a tacky Trump Hotel.–Paul Rudnick

The post #OnStage: Nora Burns Returns with “David’s Friend” at LaMama, January 27 appeared first on The WOW Report.

Do you know the name, Robert Trachtenberg? Maybe not but I know you’ve seen his photographs in Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Esquire, the New York Times Magazine, People, and Vanity Fair. He’s shot the comic duo Key & Peele, sex symbols Scott Eastwood & Kelan Lutz & sexpot Tracy Morgan, and Will Arnett in fishnets for the cover. From leading men to comedians, ballet dancers to quarterbacks, war veterans to Broadway veterans, Red-Blooded American Male features more than 100 images that bust the ideal of the typical American male from from trans fitness model Aiden Dowling to Judd Apatow pregnant in a negligee.

And as Mel Brooks says,

“Trachtenberg’s taste in subject matter is impeccable. If I’m in it —you know it’s good.”

You can follow Robert on Instagram and get your copy of Red-Blooded American Male here.

“This was for Rolling Stone’s Hot issue. It seemed absurd to do anything where we tried to make Rudd look deliberately ‘hot.’ His ‘hotness’ comes effortlessly. He agreed we should mock the whole notion of ‘hot.’ He agree to get in the bed. He agree the boxers were getting in the way and dropped them. Months later, he sent me a nice note saying friends had seen the photo on the walls of gay bars across America and he couldn’t be more proud.”

Big thanks to @paulstuartny and everyone who came out for last night's launch party for Red-Blooded American Male – link in bio. We sold lots of books and I sold three sweaters and a tie by accident. Photo: @micheleromeronyc #redbloodedamericanmale #paulstuart @tenspeedpress

The post #VisualAIDS: “Postcards From the Edge” Is Next Weekend (Buy Amazing Work for Just $85!) appeared first on The WOW Report.

Actor, writer, and Facebook talk show host (and WOWlebrity) Jeffery Self got engaged over the weekend to his partner Auggie in sunny Los Angeles. And it happened in the cutest way possible! The proposal involved oranges and champagne from Trader Joe’s after a long romantic hike. What more could you want?!

Check out the adorable story here:

Wrote Self on Instagram:

So. Today. Augie and I went on the hike we did on our first real date and I bitched and moaned pretty much the whole two hours because I hate moving, as well as standing for that matter. Then. We got to the top and we took out the oranges he’d packed to snack on.

As I unwrapped mine I scoffed that there was “some metal shit inside mine”. In my head, I cursed Trader Joe’s and Joe himself, for this messy piece of fruit. Then I said “there’s a ring in here” then upon further realization I once again said “there’s a ring in here”.

Then I realized he was on a knee and then you can guess the rest. I shouted FUCK NO/Jumped off the mountain/and I’m now a ghost. Jk. I was overwhelmed, said duh, and then he handed me his orange to retrieve his matching ring. That is not a sexy euphemism. And just like that… I’m engaged to my best friend. Then as if this forced exercise turned romance weren’t great enough he pulls out a ten year old bottle of Dom and motherfucking CHEESE and we toast to the future.

And that was today. On Golden Globes Sunday no less and I’m rooting for you Annette and if you lose I call this off (not really/ it’s probably Emma’s year/ugh). Anyways. Apologies for my most self indulgent post in awhile and from the guy who hosts a Facebook live talk show from his bed, that’s quite a statement… but I’m happy and that’s aggressively rare.

Condragulations!!!

Lots of nutty looks coming down the runways in London this week as Men’s Fashion Week kicked off. Check out wearable and not-so-wearable collections from Christopher Shannon, Ximon Lee, Alex Mullins, and Agi & Sam below.

Dissolving flags? covering faces at Christopher Shannon…

If it’s a political statement, I like it. The ripped LGBT flag dripping down that guys face in the background is very thought-provoking…

The focus here is on torn, Timberlakian denim-on-denim.

Loving this oil spill/meat marbled jacket from Ximon Lee. The wet Beyonce hair trend seems to be getting around to the boys this season…

More Ximon Lee… Wide-leg pants and a giant leather codpiece (?) casually draped over one shoulder – I love it.

Enormous ’70s-era collars, wide legs, and floor-dusting coats, YES! YES YES!

Wet hair, don’t care…

Partial jacket thingie wrapped around the midriff and going over one shoulder, I think I like it. Would like to see what it really is, though. Again, loving the proportions of the wide leg pants and big collars. Although you definitely have to weigh 100 pounds to pull it off.

Tablecloths tied around you neck and a napkin covering your face at Alex Mullins, well alrighty then…

Two-Face seems to be the inspiration here…

… and here – digging the bi-colored hairdo, though.

Big-time face-covering at Agi and Sam, perfect for the coming era of Trump riots and anarchist missions in the dead of night…

It’s always shame to cover a pretty face, but I’m afraid this is the fashion of the future…

World of Wonder Productions‘ Anti-Trump art exhibition “Surviving Trump: The Art of Resistance” at the fabulous World of Wonder’s Storefront Gallery is a week and a half away! As art is coming to our building, we wanted to highlight and feature all the brave badasses that will be donating their work (all the proceeds sold from each piece will go directly to the ACLU).

Today, we are featuring WOWlebrity and a fantastic pop artist Sham Ibrahim.

Check him out and his piece:

WOW: For those that might not be familiar with your work, can you tell us a little bit about what kind of art you make and why you make it?
Sham: My art is digital. I draw in on a computer and transfer to canvas. I specialize in celebrity portraits and outstanding  moments in pop culture. I am an artist because I think art has the power to create everlasting changes in the world we live in.

WOW: For our show, can you tell us a little bit about your piece and what the inspiration behind it was? Obviously, the inspiration is Trump, but what angle led you to depict him in the way that you did.
Sham: I drew Trump as an infant in diapers playing with America. I drew this because I feel like that’s how he is largely perceived. Most of my art is about public perception rather than my personal opinion.

WOW: It’s been said that during times of oppression, the best art comes out. What advice can you give our readers/fellow artists about continually creating during this dismal climate.
Sham: During a dismal climate or any climate artists should never stop creating and never give up. I felt dismal in my life many times and I almost gave up entirely, but if I did I wouldn’t be doing the things I am doing today so it’s important to never give up no matter what.

WOW: Will you be at the Women’s March on saturday? What are your thoughts on protest? Is art protest as well as marching?
Sham: I will not be at The Women’s March because I will not be in Washington on Saturday, however I stand strongly in solidarity with women all over the world, not just in America. We have a long way to go for equality for women. Just look at Sharia law and how women are treated in counties that enforce it. Third wave feminism is over, and thanks to political correctness and social justice warriors it was largely misguided from what the early feminist movement set out to accomplish, which was to eliminate patriarchy. Unfortunately, the world is still very much a victim of patriarchy. The answer is obvious: gender needs to be destroyed and demolished. I hope that will be the goal of 4th wave feminism. Also, women have been the biggest supporters of LGBT rights and as I think the LGBT community should stand with women especially because they fought so hard for us. Now it’s our turn to fight for them.

WOW: How are you feeling with the inauguration so close and what outlook do you have now?
Sham: This whole election has been like watching Jersey Shore but with politicians. I’ll be watching the inauguration for sure, but just for entertainment purposes. Donald Trump is really good tv. My outlook is that I don’t care. America is and always has been great because of the people, not the president.

WOW: What other organizations can our readers donate to (besides the ACLU) during this time.
Sham: The ACLU is AWSOME and also Readers should just donate to like a homeless person whose hungry or like buy them food and clothes if they see them. That’s the best I think. Just give money direct to people who need it.  That’s how you make the world great is through kindness. And planned parenthood love them always give them money.

Visit his site: shampopart.com to see more of his work and we will see you at the show on the 18th of January from 8-11PM!
