Peter Gunn: The Show For Deep Mancini
2007-11-20 05:55:00
I've got a habit of watching Peter Gunn in the middle of the night on a cool vintage TV station here in Chicago, METV. Anyway, I love the detective series, Peter Gunn. Having had a few film courses in college, I'm into its film noir style, which is the black and white genre the show's creator, Blake "Pink Panther" Edwards, made it in.But, of course, what really makes Peter Gunn such an excellent 1950s TV series is its killer music by Henry Mancini . Everyone who's familiar with the show loves the legendary Peter Gunn theme song, but the rest of the music in each episode is bananas beyond belief. I mean it is too sexy and powerful and moody-cool.I may wind up leaving some deep Mancini in the sidebar here for a while. Really, what better music could you hear when you arrive at the Original CyberLounge? So put on your Ray-Bans and rock it, baby!Hot Links:Vast Henry Mancini's music collection at Artist DirectAbout Peter GunnFilm Noir movie poster collection

Dr. Donda West... Unbelieveable and Getting Worse
2007-11-14 09:50:00
The moment I realized that Dr. Jan Adams (see Fox News video) was the Oprah-endorsed cosmetic surgeon who performed the tummy tuck and breast reduction on Dr. Donda West , I wondered how long it would be before Oprah Winfrey would somehow be questioned about possibly having recommended him to Kanye's precious mom.I'd seen Kanye West on The Oprah Show, with an extremely proud Donda West chiming in about her super star son. It didn't require a quantum leap to wonder if one Chicago lady now in Los Angeles had placed a call to another Chicago lady who influences thought of every ilk, seeking her advice about which cosmetic surgeon to use.Not even five minutes lapsed before I saw the fresh link to msnbc.com, blaring this headline: Oprah denies recommending doctor to West.I've moved on to a new whirl of questions surrounding the shocking death of dear Dr. West:-- Will Oprah Winfrey completely sever ties to people of color, with this on the heels of the scandal at her South Africa girls...

Kanye West and LeBron James on Saturday Night Live
2007-10-01 09:54:00
Oh hell naw! Kanye West managed to upstage LeBron James on Saturday Night Live -- and Lebron was wonderful as guest host of the season's opening show.But who can out-drama the original Chicago rap drama king? Only Kanye can upstage himself, as he proved over and over in this brilliant sketch with Maya Rudolph (aka daughter of Minnie Ripperton) and Keenan Thompson:As awesome as Kanye was playing Kanye, he brilliantly further upstaged himself, freestyle rapping this true and telling rhyme at the end of his song, "Everything I Am":Hey mama can u see meHey daddy can you see meI'm rockin' on the TVY'all thought they'd never let me back in NBCAin't that the truth! You could pop some Cris to that powerful notion, a bold reference to his infamous comment about President Bush during NBC's Hurricane Katrina telethon.How about that all women string section? Simply smokin', Mr. West!And LeBron, LeBron, LeBron. Really, LeBron James plays more characters in the same spot than Eddie Murphy...

Oprah and Chicago BBQ For Obama
2007-09-06 19:50:00
Still not convinced that Senator Barack Obama can make a difference? Well, it seems he's making a crucial difference this weekend for those of us who could cry because the end of summer is so near. It's a mega BBQ Cook-out (sort of). Chica go media mogul Oprah Winfrey is throwing a celebrity fundraiser BBQ for Obama on September 8 at her California digs, and an impressive 60 Obama supporters here in the Windy City are doing the same, inviting the public. But at a more affordable ticket price, I'm sure.So if you've been lamenting the idea of packing away your swimsuit, cargo pants, sunglasses, charred grill and ice cold beer post Labor Day, you really don't have to! Obama is a man with a plan to keep the season hot a while longer. What a progressive and engaging way to network and focus us on politics, but in a fun environment that'll bring happiness and relaxation.Here's a link to find an Obama BBQ event in Chicago. If interested, it's best to contact the host ASAP: a few of ...

Model Naomi Campbell - Working On Labor Day
2007-09-03 16:40:00
You may be lucky enough to have this Labor Day holiday off, but supermodel Naomi Campbell is working (it) today for sure. If you're a fan of the flawless but temperamental fashion runway diva extraordinaire, do not miss this stunning photo of Naomi. I just stumbled across it while doing some PR research for an Italian tourism client.Unfortunately, I don't speak Italian, so cannot read what this Italian fashion and tourism website article says about Naomi. But her nude, high art photo there did give me a Borat moment, making me think, "Wow wa wee wah!" The photo's just too fierce and sexy -- and makes me want to forgo eating so much delicious Bar-b-que at the family's Labor Day cook-out!Naomi's photo reminds me of a friend who moved to Milan years ago to pursue fashion design, and wound up dabbling in the Italian porn film industry. She eventually left Italy to continue pursuing art (with clothes on). Guess that's where fresh 'cheeks' like Miss Naomi's sort of came in.Techno...

Dead Certain That President Bush Is Ready to Leave Mess For Dems to Clean U
2007-09-02 15:16:00
I thought this Washington Post article would be one of those revealing book reviews, this time with President Bush as the subject, that would make me dash over to Borders Books for a sneak peak once it hit bookshelves. However, this isn't a book review about "Dead Certain, " which author Robert Draper, a Texan and Bush friend, soon debuts about fellow good ol' boy, Dubbya.I'd have to say, though, the article about the book made me literally shudder and squint at the page more than once. I decided I won't be dashing to Borders for a look-see; the article alone caused me adverse bodily reactions.In the new book that comes out Tuesday about President Bush , he mentions that his wife, First Lady Laura Bush, reminds him not to wallow in self-pity; he chose this job. (Some would argue that he did more than 'choose' it, but that's semantics!) President Bush also seems to think that people don't like him because he's really doing his job extremely well: being a great leader who's...

Stop Snitchin'? Stop Saggin'!
2007-08-24 15:25:00
Yes, do it, Atlanta! And I can see that St. Louis needs to follow suite with similar sagging laws soon. The saggin' trend is so intense and pervasive here that I've been snooping around the 'hood with my camera during my visit home, clandestinely taking the above pictures of guys' butts. They're an elusive lot, though. Hard to snap shots of, like butt-a-flies!Men and their ass-showing thing really ought to have been outlawed a long time ago. Companies such as Sears, your basic plumber, your basic cable company... All of them have done society a grave disservice by turning the other cheek toward employees who bear butt crack. There is nothing so disgusting. Nothing. Not even hip-hop kids with sagging pants. But here again, America needs an attitude adjustment. Too many people laugh hysterically when older white men expose their fleshy, jiggly posteriors. But now that urban youth, particularly black kids, have taken the shocking look and twisted it into a (horrid) fad, sud...

Sites For Writers to Promote Books and Build Traffic
2007-08-16 18:55:00
While online exploring ways to promote my book, which I categorize as my * suspense memoirs *, I've been more astonished than before by how quickly hot, new spaces crop up, catch fire, and help build traffic for writers. Or for anyone else, for that matter.Because one of my redundant gripes in life is, "No one ever told me that... Why didn't someone tell me?" I'm sharing some of these sites with you. Again, I've stumbled upon them in the context of searching for good writers tools, but if you're not a writer, you'll still probably find them useful.1. Scribd.com -- This could be called Free eBooks or PDF City, and I mean there's a PDF or ebook at Scribd on all kinds of cool, obscure stuff.

Tom Snyder : Tomorrow May Never Come (Again)
2007-08-05 23:34:00
Finally, it's happening: I'm committed to letting my memoir manuscript see the light of day! It's been a long and somewhat painful process. Two years ago, I was 90% "there" in terms of sealing a wonderful publishing deal with a New York publisher. But ultimately, things didn't go as the editorial director and I had hoped. Disheartened, I didn't even look at the manuscript again for two painful years.But life and timing are extraordinary, unpredictable things. Mysteriously, the death of late-night talk show legend Tom Snyder of "Tomo rrow With Tom Snyder" has given me the impetus, indeed the vigor, to dust off my tear-stained humor memoir manuscript and just see what happens with it online as an ebook.In the wee hours of the morn, I finally did just that!

Dr. Wax, a Chicago Music Legend, Needs YOU!
2007-07-31 01:40:00
We, the music lovers of Chica go , seriously need your help. One of the best music stores in the city -- arguably one of the coolest in the world -- is shockingly being forced to close. There's an online viral movement to voice widespread concerns about how the store -- Dr. Wax in Hyde Park -- is being forced out of its home of many years. Please take a moment and sign the online petition linked near the end of this post.Dr. Wax has generously supported indie music acts from around the world who wanted to build a following in Chicago. There are too many to name, but the ones I've discovered and love thanks to Dr. Wax in Harper Court's knowledgeable employees include Julie Dexter, N'Dambi, Peven Everett, Eric Roberson, Tweek, Ledisi, Lewis Taylor, Outside and Fertile Ground, to name a few.Dr. Wax also has given an enormous number of local hip-hop acts shelf space and more over many years, helping them develop an audience when they had none.

2007-07-17 15:36:00
"Hot For Hill." "This Is Why (Mitt Romney 's) Hot." "Obama Girl vs. Guiliani Girl." The continuing onslaught of political videos using humor makes one wonder what's next for the 2008 presidential candidates? A rock concert tour? Their own music television channel? YouTube fans certainly are creating enough Obama, Clinton and other content to launch the next spin-off of MTV. Want your PTV, anyone? With some of the new political videos, though, we may need Tipper Gore to step in again and devise some type of warning labels for these racey numbers. Oh wait: Tipper's cool now. Remember, she and hubby Al Gore just blazed some "Live Earth" with the likes of XXX-rated cannibus king Snoop Dogg a few weeks ago. So carry on, YouTubers. With 18 months still to go before election time, there'll be no fading to black in this political video game anytime soon. MITT ROMNEY - THIS IS WHY I'M HOTOBAMA GIRL VS.

Live Earth : 7 Wonders Worth Protecting
2007-07-08 17:46:00
Global congratulations are definitely in order for former Vice President Al Gore today. Live Earth , Gore's mega, seven-continent concert to raise awareness for and impact global warming, was one Herculean effort. Some measure of positive climate change surely will result from it, with music talent from Madonna, the Police, Kanye West and the Black Eyed Peas to Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, Shakira and Kelly Clarkson being among the performing artists helping keep eyes around the world on energy conservation messages.Naturally, there are nay-sayers, people who too easily dismiss Live Earth as nothing more than a great music event that won't make a difference. Let's just hope the message behind the music echoes with those non-believers. Let them be the first to start unplugging cell phone chargers and buying longer lasting fluorescent light bulbs. Or begin taking their own bags to the grocery store, thereby using a less paper and plastic. It's these little things we each can easily ...

Concert For Diana: Warning, We Could Need Translation Services

Married to the Mob : Hillary & Bill Clinton's New Video

Next at bat and scoring a home run in the viral video arena is Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. To announce the song that's won selection as her official campaign music, the presidential candidate's team has released a "Sopranos"-esque video spoof in which she and husband Bill Clinton star.Casually dressed and seated in a diner, the Clintons flip through songs featured on a tabletop jukebox, chatting about which tunes might win Hillary's campaign music contest. Posted at her official site, the Clintons' video short even includes a brief and menacing appearance by "Sopranos" actor Vince Curatola, who played mob boss Johnny "Sack."Way to play ball, Team Clinton. The former First Couple -- and Next Couple hopefuls -- seem to strike back at Obama Girl's popularity in a most resounding way.The video ends, by the way, as abruptly as the now infamous "Sopranos" show ......................................... ..........And then, you're invited to make a campaign contribution.Related Link...

Last Patient Standing : Michael Moore's 'Sicko' Illustrates Plight of Edith
2007-06-13 17:39:00
A promotional television spot for "Last Comic Standing," which has a 2-hour season premier tonight on NBC, really captured my attention. In the promo, an up-and-coming comedian jokes about hospitals asking us who should be contacted in case there's an emergency. "The doctor!" is the comic's killer punchline. No truer logic exists.But sadly for 43-year-old Edith Rodriguez -- who for 45-minutes writhed on the Emergency Room floor vomiting blood at a Los Angeles hospital -- calling a doctor would not happen. Her boyfriend grew so desperate for medical attention for her that he dialed 9-1-1, hoping to get Rodriguez to a different facility for care. His plea to paramedics for help was dismissed. Same thing happened when a complete stranger could no longer tolerate watching the woman die on the E.R. floor.Eventually, the police came for Rodriguez. She died while they wheeled her out of the hospital. They hadn't come to help her, however. The police had come to arrest the dying woman fo...

I arrived alone and not worried, but then noticed a few other alleged traffic offenders -- with attorneys. Soon, the judge arrived and explained the process. I couldn't hear her over the security guard fussing behind me, at someone about cell phone use. All I heard the judge say was "... $100 ... plead not guilty ... jail."I grew nervous. Traffic Court was more serious than I knew. I didn't want to wind up anywhere near(er) Paris Hilton's situation. When the cop pulled me over, he claimed I "sort of" rolled through a stop sign.

So You Think You Can Stand More Dancing?
2007-06-02 06:58:00
Is it my imagination, or are the judges on reality TV shows acting more bizarrely than the delusional contestants? A few nights ago, I happened to catch So You Think You Can Dance on Fox, an American Idol knockoff, but for -- you guessed it: those who (sadly) think they can dance. It was entertaining enough, particularly one kooky, gold helmet-wearing guy from California -- Bryce "Gold Inferno" Cleverly -- who performed a cool and jittery dance from Amsterdam. It's called Jumpstyle, the Gold Inferno said. He learned Jumpstyle from a YouTube video:Aside from the Pop and Lock dancers, most of whom were amazingly acrobatic and excellent performers, many of the contestants were mediocre. One of the best things about the show was its repeatedly having the dancers perform as a group to Buttons by the Pussycat Dolls... I've been digging the song for a while, having only heard it before on the Borat DVD. Luckily, while searching for a Jumpstyle video to post here, I finally discovered the...
