Happy Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!



My friend Amber is hosting a "Misfit Thanksgiving" dinner at her place this year. I hope the menu is similar to Chucks. I will be making the sweet potato pie- its a yummy recipe by Miss Paula Dean- you can find it here. I make it with an extra 1/4 cup of sugar, sans the miranque. Its scrumpcious..

Guy Babylon - Las Vegas Twister

Stupid Is As Paris Does...

Hundreds looked on as the hotel heiress Paris Hilton painted walls on streets of the famous Hollywood Boulevard as part of the 200 hours of the community service which she is supposed to undergo as part of her sentence.
Earlier this year, Paris Hilton was arrested on the charges of carrying drugs when bagged cocaine slipped from her purse at Wynn Las Vegas hotel in Las Vegas. The police arrested her immediately and Hilton pleaded guilty in court for the two charges.
As part of her sentence, she was to pay a fine of $2,000, devote 200 hours to community service, and face one year’s suspended sentence. She was one of many criminals scrubbing graffiti from the walls in Hollywood, the reality show star joined the ranks attired in a bright yellow t-shirt, the words Hollywood Los Angeles Beautification Team were clearly imprinted across the back of her t-shirt.

However, she clearly stood apart from the rest of them, with her huge fashionable sunglasses, stilettos and huge hooped earrings.

Movie Of The Week- Quicksand 1950


An engrossing film noir with Mickey Rooney, Peter Lorre, and Jeanne Cagney. Needing money for a date, Rooney borrows $20 from the cash register, starting a chain of events that includes car theft, burglary, and possibly murder.
That'll teach him not to steal $20.00 from the register.

Movie Of The Week- The Hoodlum 1951


Lawrence Tierney ("Reservoir Dogs") plays an unreformed, hardened criminal who has just been released from prison. While working at his brother's gas station, he becomes very interested in the armored car that makes regular stops at the bank across the street.
If you enjoy heist films, watch this. Tierney was perfect for this type of role.
Year: 1951
Director: Max Nosseck
Production Company: Jack Schwarz

A brush with greatness: A few years back when I attended acting school in L.A., I met an older gentleman while standing in line at Ralphs. He asked if I was an actress, I answered that I was going to school at American Academy Of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, he replied in a gruff old man voice " Those who can do-Those who cant teach." I asked if he was an actor to which he responded, " Yeah, my name is Gene Tierney" I relayed the conversation to my friends waiting in the car, one chimed in "Gene Tierney was a woman". A few years later I saw that man again- he was playing a supporting role on the show E.R. as an old man dying in the hospital- his name, Lawrence Tierney.
