Jack Nicholson had a great line in the movie As Good As It Gets: “Sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.” That was my reaction to reading that professional psychopath Heather Mills is looking for real estate in New York. You know, Heather, Rudy Giuliani violated a lot of people’s rights to make…

I’m So Proud of My Girl
I was thrilled to bits to see that my girl Patti LuPone is getting rave reviews for her portrayal of Mama Rose in the Broadway revival of Gypsy. Some critics are going so far as to say that this is the best Gypsy ever. Ooh, the people on the Bernadette Peters fan forum are going…
Whip It. Whip It Good.
A while ago, gorgeous blogger Annie at Poetic & Chic got me thinking about Herb Alpert, which got me thinking about one of my favorite album covers of all time. The girl in the “whipped cream” (most of it was really shaving cream) was Dolores Erickson. You can read about her here and here.
Asher Asher We All Fall Down!
Last night I dreamed that I was working with Paul McCartney on his new album, but he was so unappreciative of my efforts that he snubbed me in an elevator full of people. Then, suddenly, I was writing about the incident in a term paper that employed an incorrect footnote style. Next thing I knew,…
America’s Next Top Model: WendyB
Yesterday I was doing a photo shoot with Marie Claire for a portrait to accompany an essay I wrote for the magazine (I’ll let you know when it’s time to buy my issue). As you may have noticed, I’m always very smiley in photos, but the magazine wanted a “serious” look. I thought I had…
Lunatic of the Day
Heather Mills, who always brings the crazy, admitted to pouring water over the head of Paul McCartney’s lawyer in court. Even the judge hated her insane ass. Embed from Getty Images I don’t think McCartney should have to pay her any money at all. She should have to compensate him for being a blight upon…
Tickled Pink and Yellow
The hot color combination for spring is pink and acid yellow. It first caught my eye at J. Crew. Then I noticed it at a store called Strawberry Jam. Yoox has a Versace jacket that combines the two. You could pair these adorable Chloe shoes from Intermix with a yellow dress from Shopbop.The inspiration for…
I Can See Clearly Now
In 1999, I agreed with the rest of the world that the Dior suit Celine Dion wore to the Oscars was a fashion blight. Embed from Getty Images Today, I spit upon the 1999 WendyB and her boring taste! I love this suit now. It is razor-sharp and futuristic. I would definitely wear it and…
The Sky Is Falling!
After attacking us with a ceiling vent on Monday, the Broadway revival of Gypsy continues to menace musical-theater lovers. Luckily, Patti LuPone is around to clean up. Maybe the theater has a poltergeist? Do NOT go into the light, Patti LuPone!
Thursday Book Club: Gypsy Rose Lee
Eric Idle, the author of the Monty Python musical Spamalot, recently changed the show’s lyrics to take out a reference to Britney Spears. “Because we don’t laugh at sad people,” he explained. Now, for accuracy’s sake, he might want to change the lines about the joys of musical theater sung by Spamalot’s timid Sir Robin:…
