Karma Class 101
2008-05-18 04:42:00 The Aging Dico Diva adores Ellen Degeneres. She is one of my favorite comics and talk show hosts. Ellen has a joy of life thing going and she also tends to wear her emotions on her sleeve (much like moi) She is one of those people that you would like to be friends with.... and it has nothing to do with her celebrity status (in fact you would like to be a friend despite her fame) You just want all kinds of great things to happen for her...and it does appear that karma is returning the good vibes she gives. Yesterday Ellen announced on her show that she was getting married to her life partner Portia de Rossi. Here is the clip from her show, and you can see Portia fighting back the tears too: Here is a clip from one of Ellen's great stand up performances: Karma at work again?Anne Heche is nuttier than a fruit cake and appears to be someone whose life philosophy is "Take care of numero uno and the hell with the carnage I leave in the wake"If you are not familiar with M...

Robert Schimmel, CANCER ON $5 A DAY, author, standup comedian: Mr. Media Au
2008-04-23 18:55:00 I tried my hand at stand-up comedy twice in college, once as a freshman at the University of Miami and again a year later at the University of Florida. And no, I wasn?t so bad at Miami that I was asked to leave. They were a lot more subtle than that. Anyway, I gave up that dream early. It?s a tough, humiliating life, not for me. Now, Robert Schimmel, on the other hand, is one of the best stand-up comedians of his generation. He, like Richard Belzer before him, is the guy other comedians watch and measure themselves against. He is naturally funny and naturally crude, rude, and not recommended for listeners under the age of 18. That?s my way of saying if you?re too young to drink or if you?re easily offended, tune out now. The button-down mind of Bob Newhart this definitely is not. These days, Schimmel is still out doing his job making people laugh, but there is a twist. In 2000, when his career was reaching new heights, he was diagnosed with Stage III non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, cancer. ...

2008-04-03 18:42:00 Comic actor Steve Martin and actress Diane Keaton, who starred in the two instalments of “Father of the Bride”, are to team up again for a new comedy.

Steve Martin And Diane Keaton Reunite
2008-03-31 22:23:00 Steve Martin And Diane Keaton ReuniteBut not for Father of the Bride 3. PhewSource: Variety In their day, both Steve Martin and Diane Keaton have made some great comic films. Even one of their two films together, the first Father of the Bride, was pretty decent in a guilty pleasure sort of way. But the news that they are to star together again in One Big Happy somehow fills us with dread.The plot details are under wraps, but apparently it's a "family comedy" wherein a couple (we're going to go ahead and guess that's Martin and Keaton) and their family "reconnect amid various obstacles". Which could describe most of their separate film output of the last 10 years - and most of those have been pretty dire (consider, if you can bear to, Because I Said So and Cheaper By The Dozen 2).But surely we can hope for a return to form, or at least something on a Parenthood level. They've still got it somewhere, deep down - right? The script for this e...
Well, Excuuuuuuse Him!
2008-03-01 23:53:00 "I cut my hair, shaved my beard, and put on a suit. I stripped the act of all political references, which I felt was an act of defiance. To politics I was saying, 'I'll get along without you very well. It's time to be funny.' Overnight, I was no longer at the tail end of an old movement but at the front end of a new one. Instead of looking like another freak with a crazy act, I now looked like a visitor from the straight world who had gone seriously awry."-- Steve Martin, writing in his quasi-autobiography Born Standing Up about the development that took his act from small time to one of the all-time comedy greats. If you're looking for a great read and have any familiarity with Martin's stand-up career in the 1970s, this is a must read. Hopefully, he's already at work on a sequel covering his early movies...

The Kennedy Center Honors Diana Ross, Steve Martin and Others
2007-12-03 20:59:00 The Kennedy Center honored Diana Ross, Martin Scorsese, Brian Wilson, Steve Martin and pianist Leon Fleisher before President George W. Bush with the trademark rainbow being placed around their necks as part of the evening's festivities, which included performances by such artists as Yolanda Adams, Art Garfunkel, Lyle Lovett and Yo-Yo Ma. Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, I'm guessing, are competing to see who could wear the most enormous dress to the event, both appearing to be surrounded in giant clouds of fabric. Seriously, there's a rose bush growing on the side of Diana's gown. And Hootie and the Blowfish were there too (I'm not kidding) dressed in tuxedoes and just generally making me feel old. I have to say that Cameron Diaz's skin actually looks pretty good in this picture--maybe Vanessa Williams managed to sell her some Proactiv just before the red carpet got underway.

Steve Martin to play Clouseau.
2007-02-22 16:34:00 While more or less idly browsing looking for nothing in particular, we come across the news that Steve Martin is to star in an up-coming re-make of the Pink Panther. For everyone who are not familiar with the series of classic Pink Panther movies featuring Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom, this may not be such a bone chilling piece of information, but for someone who loves the old movies about the clumsy French detective inspector this is devastating news. Steve Martin!? Please! Even though he's been dead for years, we'd still prefer Sellers. This just goes to prove that nothing is sacred in the world of the movie moguls. Let's just hope that Steve Martin is producing the movie himself and will go embarrassingly broke when it premiers.

That Steve Martin is a Wild and Crazy Guy
2007-02-14 17:09:00 Steve Martin is a funny guy. Let’s face it, he just is. Not always, but often, and often enough that when people think of Steve Martin they tend to think “he’s a funny guy.” Helping show off Steve Martin’s comedy roots, Universal Studios has just released to DVD Steve Martin: The Wild and Crazy Comedy Collection. Included in the pack, on two DVDs are: The Jerk, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, and The Lonely Guy and precious little in the way of bonus features. But, as the movies have held up very well 20-plus years later, they provide enough incentive to purchase the set.The Jerk follows the life of Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin), who is more of a complete and total fool than a jerk persay, because he fails to realize just how not bright he is. Even so, Johnson manages to invent the “Opti-grab” which helps eyeglasses to not slip off one’s nose (they also have a clever little handle) and... |
