I overheard my mom ask my grandma once if she watched the television show "Ugly Betty." Grandma's response? "No. I don't like ugly people."
I was reminded of this exchange yesterday when someone asked me if I planned to blog about Rosie O'Donnell's recent allegations that the capture of 15 British soldiers was a hoax perpetrated by the U.S. and Britain to escalate hostilities in Iran.
"Nope," I answered. "I never blog about Rosie O'Donnell."
According to People.com, David Beckham, who recently signed with the L.A. Galaxy soccer team for a gazillion dollars, and his wife, Victoria, are having trouble finding a house to buy in California because as soon as sellers figure out who is interested in their homes, they jack up the price. Apparently, the Beckhams aren't so posh they're willing to overpay for the privilege of living in a place where they won't be judged for their matching blond combovers.
You know who else is having house issues? Ellen DeGeneres, who is trying to sell her California estate for $24 million. According to People,
The Mediterranean-style mansion in Montecito contains four bedrooms, a wine cellar, billiards room, library, office and a second-floor, 1,300-sq.-ft. master suite that also features a balcony and an art studio... besides that structure, there are also two guest cottages, a tennis court, a pool and spa, as well as formal gardens.
Wow. $24 mil is really pricey, but since it's Ellen you know she'd be a pretty honest home-seller. Seriously. Good luck to her in finding a buyer - I mean, who has the kind of cash to buy a $24 million house? You'd have to be a gazillionaire to afford a house like that. Hey! Wait a second!
Oh, sorry. I thought I saw some guy who owes me $7 walk by just now. Anyway, good luck to all these rich people and their rich people problems. This one's a real head-scratcher.
First off: No, I did not fall and hit my head. Or have a brain transplant. Or get taken hostage by a bunch of Will Ferrell fans.
The truth is that I actually liked Ferrell's new movie, "Blades of Glory." It's dumb and disgusting, sure, but it's also pretty smart in the way it pokes fun at professional ice skating and plays around with gender stereotypes. Besides, any movie in which a cute, benevolent, Olympic-goodwill type of mascot gets set on fire right off the bat has to get some points in my book.
And, yes, I'm aware that I liked last week's Adam Sandler movie, too. Maybe you can blame it on global warming. Read on for some more serious cultural picks, including a treat for string-quartet fans.
Because I had such a busy weekend, I didn't get to the Portable Dance Troupe's annual concert at Fresno State, titled "Escape," until Wednesday. I'm glad I finally did. (The program continues through Saturday, but tickets seem to be scarce, alas.)
With longtime artistic director Ruth Griffin out of the country, her co-artistic director, Kenneth Balint, stepped in to oversee the program. But Griffin's presence still was felt; three of her older works were used.
Two guest choreographers contributed to the program. Andy Noble's "The Clothesline" was my favorite of the two.
POST NO BILLS: Local fliers for this weekend and beyond
Wondering what's going on in Fresno? Well, you came to the right place. Below you'll find fliers for this weekend, next week and the future. If you have something you'd like to add, hit me on the e-mail or leave a comment.
A girlfriend gave me the chick flick "Something New" for Christmas, and I just got a chance to see it this week. What a surprising gem! The 2006 film (rated PG-13) stars Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker in a story about finding love in an unexpected place. It's about a woman (successful corporate lawyer) and a man (a landscape architect). She's kind of uptight. He's a free spirit. Oh, and she's African-American, and he's white.
Violinist Patrick Contreras is a busy man this weekend. Tonight, he's playing at Fresno Art Museum, doing his classical-meets-Latin "American Gypsy" show. Then on Saturday, he's letting loose, busting out rock covers and doing some genre genre-bending over at Crossroads as part of the Brazzaville-headlined KFSR benefit show.
If you've never seen Contreras before, here's a taste. I shot this video (excuse the quality, I'm a writer, not a videographer) at his last show at Full Circle Brewing Co.
If you like that and want to see more there are two more from that show (but sorry, no more belly dancers) on YouTube.
Lots of people leave Fresno. Some come back. Some don't. Some say they never will, but they do anyway. And some -- like musician Niilo Smeds -- leave Fresno, but they never really leave Fresno. You know?
Smeds, ex of numerous local bands, the most recent being the Magic Whores, moved to Oakland last summer with his wife, painter Brianna Johnson-Smeds. He's didn't stomp off in disgust. He didn't sever all ties. He just tried something new.
Lately, Smeds new music venture, a one-man thing he's calling Wheels of Fortune (note the S, before you start to sue somebody, Merv Griffin) has been playing up in Portland and around the Bay Area.
- B95's Music Madness Tournament is down to its Final Four: 2pac, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey and Eminem. Voting continues over the weekend, with the final two determined on Monday. Pssst. I'm voting 2pac and Em.
The video game "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Heroes and Villains" is being expanded to feature more characters. Some super heroes just didn't make the cut.
I know that seems hard to believe. Just take a walk through any local comic book store and you will see more titles than ever. Some of these characters are in the new video game. Others didn't make the comic book or video game cut.
In today's 7 section, I have a condensed review of "High School Musical" at Children's Musical Theaterworks. Here's the full version:
For those doddering citizens in their 40s and older who were educated so long ago that the continents were positioned differently, it's reassuring to learn from contemporary theater that one thing hasn't changed:
High school.
You've still got the jocks, the brains, the nerds and the skaters all delicately intertwined to form one complex organism. (Well, back in my day, the skaters were called surfers, and even earlier than that what were they? -- hippies? beatniks? -- but the idea is the same.) In "Disney's High School Musical," presented by Children's Musical Theaterworks at Fresno Memorial Auditorium, the tried-and-true idea of high-school cliques serving as a metaphor for life is cheerfully rehashed in a big, bouncy style.
This musical isn't exactly new, in other words, but it's fun. And this production soars with energy.
In today's 7 section, I have a condensed review of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at Roger Rocka's Dinner Theater. Here's the full version:
Just call it thoroughly delightful.
It didn't take long -- only about five years -- for the Tony Award-winning "Thoroughly Modern Millie" to make it from Broadway to Roger Rocka's Dinner Theater. (When you consider how long it took for such shows as "Beauty and the Beast" to reach the community theater level, that's a pretty fast turnaround.) It's clear this is the kind of new musical that Good Company Players can do so well. You don't need mega-sets or marquee-worthy celebrities to attract audiences -- just a talented cast, a bright and cheery production design, energetic dancing and lots of gorgeous costumes, all of which this production has in abundance.
What's fun about "Millie" is that even though it's set in the 1920s, it has its own contemporary sensibility. It takes the standard story of plucky Midwestern gal who arrives fresh in New York City without money or connections but with a lot of ambition, and then gives it some sly twists.
Coming soon to an adult video store near you: Paris Hilton stars in "Prison Sluts 12: Celebutards in Shackles."
It could happen. The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office announced Thursday that Hilton has been found in violation of the terms of her probation stemming from an arrest in September for driving under the influence. If you'll recall, Hilton was busted in February for driving with a suspended license after cops spotted her speeding down Sunset Boulevard with her headlights off.
Paris' publicist claimed at the time that the heiress knew nothing about her suspended license, but a spokesperson for the City Attorney's office said today that
Reader Marilyn Oliver writes that she went to the live Metropolitan Opera broadcast of "The Barber of Seville" last Saturday at Edwards theater and enjoyed it thoroughly:
The only problem was that when we tried to buy tickets, two people working at the box office had never heard of it and said it wasn't appearing there.
Since I've already got a couple e-mails from Fresno folks talking about Rock The Bells tickets (actually, bragging about how they have them already), I figure there's enough local interest:
The Cali shows are Aug. 11 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino and Aug. 18 at McCovey Cove Parking Lot in San Francisco. Two words: Road and trip. Who's going?
The post office tries to capitalize on 30 years of nerd obsession
In honor of Star Wars' 30th anniversary, the U.S. Postal Service will issue 15 stamps featuring all of your favorite Star Wars characters, plus C3PO.
This is an awesome, can't-fail idea. After all, everyone uses the mail. You know, except for those geeks who do everything online and who WORSHIP STAR WARS.
Know your customer, USPS. Come out with "Everybody Loves Raymond" or "Matlock" stamps, and those things will sell out faster than the Seniors' Grand Slam during the 4 p.m. dinner rush at Denny's.
...you'll adore the outfit Jennifer Lopez wore to the release party for her album Como Ama una Mujer. If you're going to emulate a version of Cher, Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves-singing Oscar-winning Cher is definitely the one to choose.
By the way, the gratuitous overplaying of Cher's song "Believe" is why I stopped listening to the new Y101 in the morning. And the existence of Danny Bonaduce is why I stopped listening to Adam Corolla on 104.1. If KJWL would play less Rod Stewart, Bette Midler and Michael Buble, and more Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Harry Connick, Jr., it would rule my world.
But enough about me and my fixation with morning radio. I can feel something inside me say: Jennifer Lopez's dress is la-ame.
American Idol: Well, at least we won't confuse the Chrises anymore ...
Chris Sligh is a goner. The Sanjaya revolution continues. Gwen gave the kids a lip-synching lesson. It was fun for everybody on Wednesday's "American Idol."
Before we turn it over to Mike and Felicia for commentary, we're asking for the Sanjaya voters to show themselves. And we're wondering, did America make the right call? Was it Chris' time? Or did Haley or someone else deserve to get kicked off?
Mike Oz says:
I'll go back to something I wrote way back when we started blogging the beast they call "American Idol." That was: This is not about talent. This is not about finding a great new artist. It's about making money and finding the artist that will do that for a record label.
Rod Stewart, even at 62 years old, is a charismatic and energetic performer. He showed that Wednesday night during his stop at the Save Mart Center. The show revealed one other thing about Stewart. I am not saying his fans skew older, but this should have been called the "Hip Replacement Tour."
It looked like the only young people at the concert were caretakers.
I want you to know that, although I appreciate your and your co-writers' efforts to make "Lost" more fan-friendly in recent weeks, I'm still not having it. You jerked me around for too long, and you've lost me for good. Or, at least until season 3 is released on DVD.
Just to prove my commitment to my cause, I'll have you know that - right now, at 10:18 p.m. on a Wednesday night - I am not watching "Lost." I am, instead, watching Grease 2.
Yes, that's right - Grease 2. I'd rather watch Grease 2 than "Lost." Deal with this!
What's awesome about this picture of Star Jones celebrating her birthday?
a) The saggy arms, breasts and jowls of a sexy older woman who lost weight in a suspiciously speedy manner.
b) The look of pure disgust love on husband Al Reynolds' face.
c) A clearly confused Ivana Trump, who thought she was making an appearance at a moissanite jewelry trunk show, in the background.
d) The drunk "friends" who had to stop laughing at this video of Star getting knocked on her ass knocked long enough to raise a glass to the old girl.
Answer: Oh, sweetie, if you don't know the answer to this, you're reading the wrong blog.
If Mr. Stewart's not your speed this evening, there's always Mr. Leonard.
Mr. Leonard, the long-time Fresno jazz DJ, recently took over a twice-monthly Wednesday night spot at Veni Vidi Vici. He's calling it the Soul Freedom Lounge and is playing "all things dope," such as acid jazz, funk, rare groove and trip hop. Should be quite chill. Best of all, no cover. It starts at 10 p.m.
Also tonight: If you're looking for a place to dance, check out the return of Shakedown Wednesdays over at Babylon Club. DJs Roman and Chris will be spinning more house music than your sweaty body can handle. Here's a flier.
We're just under four hours away from Rod Stewart taking the stage at the Save Mart Center. You'll have to pardon me if I'm not particularly excited -- I was born the same year "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" went No. 1.
So instead, I'll share this e-mail from a reader who's a bit more jazzed:
I was just cleaning out some boxes in my room and found my ticket stub from the 1989 concert Rod Stewart put on at Selland. Can you believe it was only $18.50 + a $2.50 convenience fee?! 21 bucks compared to the ticket I have for Wednesday that totals $112.95! ($95 face value, $1.75 facility charge, and $16.20 convenience fee!)
I got an e-mail from festival director Mike Dana, who said there's only about a dozen (maybe fewer now) tickets left. If miss you out on Sutton, there's another headline performance from Ingrid Jensen on Thursday night.
For more info on the festival, as well as Fresno State's New Music Festival, check out my story from Monday's paper.
Chowchilla native Ronald Moore has made a huge mark on the science fiction world with his work on the "Star Trek" television shows and now with the new "Battlestar Galactica." He has made one terrible error.
His "Battlestar Galactica" is filled with soldiers, warriors, politicians, reporters, doctors and a variety of other professionals. Where are the TV critics?
Mike and Felicia are here to talk "Idol," giving commentary and predictions after last night's performances from the Top 10. They'll offer their elimination predictions at the end, but who do you think should go home tonight?
Felicia says: Gwen Stefani may have star power from her days fronting No Doubt and in her solo career, but her coaching didn't benefit the "American Idol" Top 10 show Tuesday night. I found most of the performances just OK or pleasant. No real dazzlers.
The Best:Gina Glocksen, by far. She sang The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" in a simple, straightforward, strong way that unveiled the song's power. Kudos to you, Gina.
Paris Hilton upgrades in anticipation of her next "accidentally" leaked sex tape
There has been speculation for weeks.
The general consensus has been that Paris' multi-millions paid for the finest push-up bra in all the land. But after seeing pictures of Paris from this weekend, I think we finally have breast enhancement confirmation.
And here is a fun story that claims Paris asked her daddy for a boob job years ago, but he told her no, and that breast enhancement would "cheapen her image."
Ahhh... the blind love between parent and child is a blessed thing, no?
According to the Los Angeles Times, the failed sitcom pilot "Three Strikes" can now be seen on YouTube.
Why is this news to us? Because the fictional baseball team upon which the show Comedy Central red-lighted is called the Fresno Floods. It's about Major Leaguers who got kicked out of The Show, only to find themselves in The 'No.
Here is Part One of the pilot, titled "The Sex Boat."
Tuesday Afternoon Live: Peyton Manning loves the kids
There's no reason to even watch "Saturday Night Live" anymore. In the YouTube era, we can just wait until Monday morning, when the good stuff (if there is any, anyway) goes viral. Case in point: This Peyton Manning clip from last Saturday night kills:
Bravo is launching a television series where contestants have to match people and what they earn in a year. Isn't that called dating?
Admit it. At some point in a date, if there is any attraction at all, you start to run the numbers. For most women, that would be to decide if their date is ever going to make enough money to keep them from living in the streets. For most men, it is to decide if their date would spend them into such poverty they would have to live in the street.
These situations can be reversed. Either way, money is a factor.
Rademacher is on a roll lately. The band currently sitting at the top of Fresno's indie rock heap just finished a run of tour dates that included dates at the prestigious South By Southwest festival.
Equally prestigious, Rademacher recently got some love from Billboard. (Sidenote: The story's written by once-Fresno scribe Mitchell Peters, aka Mitch On Speed)
More bad hip-hop/R & B: Q97 announces barfworthy big show
Driving home, I flipped my radio to Q97 to hear the tailend of a bunch of the DJs ranting and raving about their "major concert announcement."
Yay, we're getting another great (read: laaaaaame) concert of johnny-come-lately, hot urban artists. Mims, Lloyd, T-Pain, Omarion and a few other no-names are coming to the Warnors Theatre on May 2. Geez, the only thing missing from making this truly crap-tacular is a Cassie appearance. For the people who actually care: Tickets go on sale this Friday and start at $25.
Between this, the B95 Music Madness tournament and anotherhyphy concert, I feel a hip-hop rant coming on -- probably to a column near you.
On another note: Have you heard the Q97 liner that says, a "classic cut that we gave you first." Does that make any sense to anyone? Are these radio stations so lame they're claiming bragging rights over old songs? Sure, Q97, I believe you -- you played 2pac's "Ambitionz az a Ridah" before anybody. I don't like have the CD or anything.
Fresno hip-hop hasn't -- in any time that I can remember, anyway -- had a real anthem. Something combining our town's top talent and giving our region a strong, exciting voice. Until now.
These are four great artists on their own, no doubt, but putting them on one track is, as Hecktik puts it, monumental. Proof: "We Taking Over" is already getting attention from HipHopGame.com and DubCNN.
Trying to spread the song as much as possible, they're offering the song to Beehive readers as a free download. Warning: Lyrics NSFW
People is reporting that Jessica Simpson donated a brand new minivan to an orphanage in Mexico Sunday. Nice, right? Generous. More people should be like Jessica Simpson.
Oh wait. I just finished reading the rest of the story.
Jessica won a free Chrysler Crossfire sportscar at a "swag suite" (you know - where award shows shower already rich celebrities with expensive items) at the MTV Video Music Awards and asked Chrysler to exchange it for a minivan so she could donate it to the orphanage. So, she basically donated something she never paid for in the first place, and then took full credit for it in People. I'm certain the tax write-off donation had nothing to do with celebrities now being made to pay taxes on swag acquired at awards shows.
Apparently John Mayer was not present when Jessica gave the minivan to the orphanage - perhaps because he sees that donating a car you were given for free, that would have cost you less than your annual "hair budget" in the first place, is a chintzy and sad way to get attention. Or maybe he just hates orphans. I bet that's it. Orphan hater.
This morning I awoke to a CNN news report on KJWL informing me that "The long wait is finally over."
In my grogginess I thought: Oh thank goodness. We've pulled the troops out of Iraq. No wait - there is a cure for cancer. They found Jimmy Hoffa? No, I know - cell phones have been banned. Yes!
Turns out the long 7-week wait to determine what killed Anna Nicole Smith is over. It was - wait for it - an accidental drug overdose.
Hirayama is a household name in Japan but little known in the United States. He's particularly interested in preserving the legacy of the Silk Road, the old trading route from the Roman Empire to the Orient. Some of the paintings in this exhibition have never before been in this country.
Courtesy of Daniel McKee, curator at the Clark, here are some Web links with more info about Hirayama and the Silk Road:
Let's nip this fear in the bud right away: There are no nipples in "Nipples to the Wind." The closest you get are two elderly women characters whose enhanced cleavage, buried under matronly dresses, has the unfortunate tendency to shift markedly from left to right, and back again. Think Mrs. Doubtfire in her out-of-control bosom scene.
What you do have in this mildly amusing touring comedy, which continues for one more show 2 p.m. Sunday at the Tower Theatre, is a series of distinctive women characters played by two women actors. Some of these sharply defined characters are headstrong: a Little League mom who beats up a parent from the opposing team, for example. Others are pensive: a mom remembering her first crush on a pop star. All face the world with gusto.
Tattooing Charlie's name on her ankle becomes Denise Richards' second biggest regret
Two paparazzi filed lawsuits in Los Angeles Friday against Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards after an incident that happened last November in Vancouver on the set of their film Blonde and Blonder. According to the paparazzi, they were allegedly subjected to a "verbal tirade" and "physical assault," and were called "paparazzi scum" (gasp!) by the actresses.
During the altercation, Richards apparently started screaming at the paparazzi, then grabbed a laptop computer belonging to them and hurled it off a balcony, striking an 80-year old woman in a wheelchair. Really.
The movie company eventually paid for the damages, and Richards issued an apology (sort of), but the - ahem - victims are seeking further justice for nightmares suffered since the incident.
Oh, really? Let's just talk about nightmares for a sec. I'd like to seek retribution from these paparazzi after seeing this picture of Richards and Anderson on the set. Seriously. When did Pam Anderson become her own drag queen impersonator?
I haven't yet seen the provocatively titled "Nipples to the Wind," which breezes into town Friday for a three-day run at the Tower Theatre, so I can't vouch for how good it is, but the premise certainly seems intriguing: Two women play a total of 14 characters in a series of personality sketches. This traveling show, which has played such places as Phoenix and San Jose, comes with a pretty good pedigree. I'm going to see it Saturday and will let you know ASAP what I think. (If anyone sees it Friday night, let Beehive readers know what you think by leaving a comment on this thread.)
Elsewhere in theater land, it's none other than "High School Musical" at Children's Musical Theaterworks, which also opens Friday. Directed by theater veteran Carolyn Robertson, this is, indeed, the stage version of the popular Disney TV movie. (I'm going to see it Saturday afternoon; I'm going to have a busy Saturday!)
Dance fans: Don't forget the Portable Dance Troupe's annual concert at Fresno State's Arena Theatre, which opens Friday night and continues through March 31. This one is titled "Escape," and I've heard some good advance word on it.
And if you're in the mood for something a little more soothing than nipples and modern dance, you might want to check out Moment Musical's latest Sunday Serenades Chamber Music concert 4:30 p.m. Sunday at St. James Episcopal Cathedral. Soprano Barbara Vlymen is part of the program, and she's always a treat.
In anticipation of the Metropolitan Opera's live high-definition broadcast of "The Barber of Seville" 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Edwards theater, a reader writes:
We're going to the opera tomorrow. How do the people dress? Oh, we're very excited about the live performance of "The Barber", but this is the first one of the live broadcasts that we will have attended.
People from Connecticut, North Carolina, Louisiana and Florida are coming to Fresno this weekend for the Fresno Regional of the NCAA Women's Tournament and they gotta be looking for more to do than watch basketball, right?
Yesterday, I was a guest on Hartford radio station WTIC, talking about what to do in Fresno [ audio ]. Bouncing off that, I figured we should put together a things-to-do-in-Fresno list for our guests. Read mine and add on.
ABC executives have announced a list of 17 shows that will return for the 2007-2008 season. Bringing "Ugly Betty" back is good. Bringing back "Supernanny" is bad.
The network has a bigger problem that just milking a few ratings points out of a television show that spotlights parents who probably shouldn't qualify for a dog license. Its no laughing matter at ABC. No. Seriously. No comedies have been renewed yet.
POST NO BILLS: Local fliers for this weekend and beyond
Wondering what's going on in Fresno? Well, you came to the right place.
Below you'll find a bunch of fliers for events going on this weekend, next week and into the future. Obviously, this isn't everything, just what fliers I've come across.
If you have something you'd like to add, you can add it below or e-mail the flier me and I'll post it. If you just want to leave a comment with some text, that's cool too.
Since my Beehive colleague Rick Bentley is not a fan of the new "TMNT" movie, it appears our only option for real Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle entertainment is to go back to the good ol' days.
During my years as a television critic, I have watched thousands of hours of programming. Very little has been as compelling and amazing to watch as the Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth"
This is the kind of series that should be mandatory viewing in every science class from elementary school to college.
It didn't take long for "Thoroughly Modern Millie," the Tony Award-winner for best musical in 2002, to make it to Fresno. Good Company Players presents this Roaring 1920s show -- with lots of guaranteed flapper action -- in a production that runs through May 20 at Roger Rocka's Dinner Theater.
I chat with Emily Pessano, who plays the leading role of Millie, in the current issue of 7 (the Bee's new Friday entertainment section; check it out for real if you haven't seen a copy). Here's the extended interview.
Britney Spears gags the British press, and for once it has nothing to do with her appearance
The notoriously ruthless British media was bitch-slapped yesterday by Britney Spears and her lawyer when the pop star tabloid mainstay won an injunction against a mystery person who has been leaking information about Britney's time in rehab to the press.
According to People,
The order is intended "to restrain the person or persons, known as 'John Doe,' who has/have been leaking information about Ms Spears's time in a rehabilitation clinic from further disclosures invading her privacy."
The injunction will be served on the British press "to assist them in not making the mistake of carrying such further disclosures if approached by this person or his/her agent."
The law firm also says Spears, 25, plans to "challenge false allegations" already published about her time in rehab, and that it is seeking a legal order to force "certain U.K. media organizations" to reveal the identity of their sources so that "action can be taken against him/her."
Very interesting. This must have something to do with a story that came out of London early in Britney's rehabilitation about her going crazy - scrawling the mark of the devil (666) on her head, screaming that she's the anti-Christ and attempting suicide with her bedsheets.
Personally, I think Britney should embrace this story. We've seen so many celebs in and out of rehab lately that it's lost its effectiveness as a good publicity stunt. But an exorcism story? That'll get you the cover of People for sure. Maybe even Newsweek.
I don't like ugly people
I overheard my mom ask my grandma once if she watched the television show "Ugly Betty." Grandma's response? "No. I don't like ugly people."
