PTT Likes Tate Taylor

2012-03-01T00:14:00.003+01:00

I never knew how attractive Tate Taylor, director of The Help, was until I spotted him on the red carpet. Very handsome.

New Avengers

2012-02-29T23:51:00.004+01:00

I can't wait for this flick to open later this Spring. Avengers is my kind of popcorn movie and one that will get me back into the theater. Because as of now, the obnoxious popcorn munchers and rude talkers are keeping me at bay.

That Time of Year

2012-02-29T21:50:00.002+01:00

Around 12 tornadoes touched down in Kansas last night. See one forming near Hutchinson, KS below. I remember the days of getting exciting when the sirens would sound - jumping on top of our roof to see if we could spot one. Unfortunately (and fortunately), Lindsborg sits in a valley of some sorts so the funnels usually swirled on by. An amazing site to see.

PTT Makes Note of Parker Young

2012-02-29T03:34:00.005+01:00

Parker Young (as Ryan Shay) was featured in an episode of Suburgatory a few weeks ago (as well as PTT a few months back). But because I'm a bit behind in TV viewing, I'm not just getting to the show. All of which means it's taken me longer to make note that one of my friends, TP, should be watching this show. He would love him. Love. Him.

The New & Improved Tom Cruise

2012-02-28T05:10:00.003+01:00

Besides the Best Picture award last night at the Oscars, everyone is talking about Tom Cruise and how he seems to have turned back time. Because if you saw the latest Mission Impossible movie, you could see some facial wasting around his eyes. Magically, that has disappeared - most say from either fillers or fat injection. Read for yourself HERE. In any case, he looks amazing. Goes to show what money can buy.

Speaking of Jessie

2012-02-27T20:49:00.003+01:00

How did I ever miss this photo? Or perhaps I haven't but it's always new and fresh to me. Do you think he'd mind sharing his sunglasses? Or perhaps a little more?

Happy Monday!

2012-02-27T20:39:00.002+01:00

I've been looking for photos to give my stylist an idea of hair color, and I found my way to my all time favorite Jessie Pavelka. Could he be any more dreamy? Lord, that sounds like Gay McGayson said it. But true!

PTT Snarks the Oscars

2012-02-27T02:16:00.035+01:00

I won't be commenting on every bit of show detail, but a few will make their way to PTT. So check back for a few snarky comments!

My first snarky comment will be about Sandra Bullock. The girl's hair was pulled back so tight it affected her face. That, or she's been injected with too many fillers. In any case, Sandra needs to jump from the speeding cosmetic surgery bus.

Billy's opening number was fun. But not that funny.

Unfortunately, I can hear that annoying electronic beeping. A time when dog hearing isn't beneficial.

Cute ads including JcPenny's featuring Ellen and McDonald's "He Loves Me Not" french fry spot.

I'm about to fall asleep. The show couldn't be any more boring.

Coming this holiday season: Nick Nolte as Crazy Ass Santa.

Octavia Spencer is about to make me cry. She's amazing.

Tate Taylor, director of The Help, is a handsome man.

Why am I on the verge of shedding a tear?

At least Cirque Du Soleil brought some life to the show - through bungee jumping.

Chris Rock looks like a pencil topper. But at least he's funny.

Emma Stone is high-larious.

Now that Christopher Plummer won, I need to see what all the buzz is about.

Will and Zach are a funny duo.

This combination of silly skits and Oscar doesn't fit well.

Is someone paid for every time George Clooney is mentioned?

"Hello, I'm Angelina Jolie. Now look at me. My leg. At me. My leg. My lipstick. At me. My leg."

Kristin Wiig was robbed. With an average age 0f 62, of course the Academy gave Best Original Screenplay to Woody.

Hey Morgan Freeman, grumpy much?

I fell asleep long ago.

There's something very appealing about Jean DuJardin. Apparently more so than George and Brad!

The bands in the balconies give me the creeps.

Very graceful Meryl.

Tom Cruise looks even younger with that haircut. But I'm sure there's a plastic surgeon to credit also.

The Artist wins best picture. No surprise there. They say Harvey bought it.

PTT Loos Forward 2 G.C.B.

2012-02-25T04:51:00.004+01:00

ABC replaces Pan Am with G.C.B. (Good Christian Belles) beginning March 4. The Kristin Chenoweth starring vehicle looks quite entertaining - especially with Mark Deklin as one of the handsome leads. I spotted a clip of him shirtless but I can grab the shot. So you'll just have to wait until it airs for more to surface. Don't worry. PTT will lead the charge.

Cruising Anyone?

2012-02-25T02:54:00.002+01:00

Ever since we worked with Tom at Cruising with Pride on our friend Patrick's failed 40th birthday adventure, we get updates on upcoming events. Today I received a note about an Atlantis All Gay Sydney Mardi Gras Cruise. If the man pictured above will be there, sign me up.

Big Wet Gay One

2012-02-24T18:51:00.005+01:00

Days of Our Lives, one of the only soaps left on daytime TV, showed its first gay kiss. And it was a doozy! Check it out below. A bit young for my tastes. But appreciative of the network's support of the gay and lesbian community.

Got 2 Get Gotye

2012-02-24T16:39:00.004+01:00

It's amazing Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" hasn't picked-up more speed stateside. The song, with its Sting influenced vocals, definitely has an 80s quirky vibe updated for today. Radio programmers take notice: 85 million have watched the video on YouTube. So get to playing.

As an added bonus, check out a fierce dance remix HERE.

Holy Hotness Batman!

PTT Appreciates Jennifer Aniston

2012-02-23T22:25:00.004+01:00

Whatever plastic surgeon Jennifer Aniston is using, others need to follow suit - like fellow "Friends" alum Courtney Cox (who's starting to resemble Janice Dickinson). Jennifer looks amazing - gorgeous.

PTT Questions Matt Quinlan

2012-02-23T05:19:00.003+01:00

Speaking of "Survivor," I was also told about Matt Quinlan. His promo shots don't make me jump for the remote to DVR the show. So unless I find some additional photos, I'll stick with the ABC comedy line-up.

PTT Hunts Down Jay Byars

2012-02-23T05:10:00.004+01:00

I was told tonight that there are a few hotties on the new season of "Survivor." My friend P-Diddy called out Jay Byars. Great body but he doesn't float my boat. And from previous modeling photos, it appears Jay bulked up for TV. I know I would.

Sunny Days

2012-02-22T21:35:00.003+01:00

I'm seeing posts about the weather in Dallas: 79 and sunny. San Francisco: 70 and sunny. And I was happy about 42 and sunny in Chicago! I'd prefer it to be 30 degrees warmer however.

Wow

2012-02-22T17:25:00.002+01:00

Whitney performed "Saving All My Love for You" on the David Letterman show in 1985. What's most impressive is that Whitney just walks out, pics up a mic, and starts singing. It was that natural. Amazing.

Inescapable

2012-02-22T03:45:00.003+01:00

I can't escape Aaron O'Connell. And that's okay. He's my "hottie of the moment." Check him out in the Liquid Plumr spot below for Double Impact. I'll let him snake my drain anytime.

Note: The actress playing the housewife is quite good too - great comic timing.

F**in Beeps

2012-02-22T02:10:00.002+01:00

I've made note of the annoying electronic, digital noise I hear in the background of some TV shows. I first heard it last year during the Oscars. Unfortunately, the subtle beeps seem to be spreading. Now I hear them on ABC, the CW, and Fox to name a few. From searching the net, it seems to be a sound compression issue - only problematic when there's laughter or music (and not during commercials). If anything, good thing to know I'm NOT ALONE. Chris can't hear it. But I can. And it's annoying. Here's to hoping the network executives hear our complaints.

NBC's "Smash" Tanks

2012-02-21T23:15:00.004+01:00

For those of you who have interest in TV, specifically deciding if you should commit to a series or not, you might want to know NBC's "Smash" is no smash. With only 38% retention of "The Voice's" 16 million viewers, I'm wondering how long the network will commit to the Spielberg produced mid-season replacement. I'm guessing not long.

PTT Pick 4 Spring

2012-02-21T23:04:00.003+01:00

My new must have for the new season. Marc Jacob's Varsity Cotton Jersey Sweatshirt. Perfect for Spring with distressed jeans and some Chucks.

PTT Recommends Cher Lloyd

2012-02-21T23:00:00.003+01:00

My afternoon jam. Cher Lloyd deserves some stateside attention. Perhaps now that L.A. Reid signed her to a record deal, she'll take off.

Oh Crap

2012-02-21T22:03:00.003+01:00

I just bought my tickets for WP in Miami. To complete the survey, I had to answer an age question - resulting in a pull down menu that grouped me with 60 year olds. Crikey. Perhaps I shouldn't be going. Old school reunion or not.

Wasting Energy

2012-02-21T20:13:00.003+01:00

Apparently proponents of Prop 8 in CA are asking for a full 9th circuit rehearing. Meaning, the case could go before 11 judges instead of three. It's mind blowing how much time and effort people spend just to deny equal rights to gays and lesbians.

What is Gay-Ville?

2012-02-21T20:03:00.004+01:00

I still don't know what Gay-Ville is (even after watching the video), but the clip grabbed my attention. Though, if the creators of the promo piece asked for my opinion, I'd tell them to focus more on the hottie in blue jogging on the treadmill. Just sayin'.

Offering Our Services

2012-02-21T06:52:00.002+01:00

"The Vampire Diaries" alum Taylor Kinney has landed a lead role in the NBC firefighter drama pilot "Chicago Fire." Hopefully this means the hottie will be filming in the Windy City. Do you think he needs a place to stay?

Making a Connection

2012-02-20T22:50:00.006+01:00

Over the past few weeks, pictures have surfaced from the 90s. Our friends are seen in cut-off denim, sporting bobs, dancing on Fire Island. All of which has sparked conversations about that time in gay culture between those who participated and younger generations that seem to have no way of connecting to the hey day of circuit parties.

As I didn't come out until I was 26, I never really jumped in with both feet. I did get my toes wet however (Chicago's Fireball, Diseny's Gay Days and Montreal's Black and Blue). So it's interesting that what goes around comes around - as a large group of us are going to Winter Party in Miami in just a few weeks. We initially joked, "Let's take it old school" as there's something about remembering a time where we didn't eat for weeks, worked out like crazy, and tanned for a golden bronze color - all in the name of attention.

Of course, times change and so do we. It becomes less about the drugs, the box dancing and boy attention and more focused on laughing with friends and dancing under the sun with the Atlantic ocean as a backdrop. And should a glance or two come our way, even better.

The New Doo

2012-02-20T00:00:00.003+01:00

So after much debate and inside my head cray cray talk, I decided to cut my hair today. This is the end result. Not too short - but definitely updated. And I'm told it takes years off. And at 41, that's a good thing. :)

Deserving Some Love

2012-02-19T21:52:00.002+01:00

Whitney's last release, "Nothing But Love," got no love from the public. But there are a few good tracks that should have been appreciated by radio programmers and the buying public - one being "For the Lovers." It chugs along with a chorus that begs to "throw you hands up." Check it out below.

Blogging Live: Comfy Couch with SNL

2012-02-19T06:09:00.001+01:00

Tonight's episode of SNL, 36 minutes in, has to be one of the best in months. Guest star Maya Randolph deserves credit as do Amy Poehler and Justin Timberlake. High-larious "Bronx Beat" and "Beyonce" skits are highlights. Musical guest Sleigh Bells, however, need to go back to the Poles.

Blogging Live: From the Car

2012-02-19T02:00:00.001+01:00

I just dropped Chris and our friend Hekk off for dinner. I'm now back home but I don't want to get out of the car. 80s on 8 is counting down the Hot 100 from this day in 1985. What a great year. I might just have to sit here all night.

And the Winning Haircut is...

2012-02-18T06:44:00.002+01:00

Yes, I've decided to cut my hair. After hours of contemplating the move, and conducting a poll with both new and close friends, I realized it's time for a change. Sure, I fear I'll become less noticeable once my golden locks are gone. But there's something to be said for updating my look. As a result, the winning haircut will be inspired by Bradley Cooper. If only I could steal some of his good looks too.

PTT Hears a Weird Sound

2012-02-18T06:10:00.004+01:00

When watching TV, I hear this odd electronic noise in the background - especially when a crowd laughs, or music is loud. Chris can't hear it. But I can. I blame my dog hearing. Turns out I'm not the only one. OTHERS across America here it too. Who's going to fix it?

PTT's Inspiration

2012-02-17T22:53:00.006+01:00

As I wrestle with cutting my hair, I turn to images of styles I like to keep me going. From this, I found my way to JAKE OWEN. He's a country singer - and one that's quite adorable. I'm on my way to the shorter doo (featured in the second photo), but I do appreciate his long locks in the black and white.

PTT Shares a Rumor

2012-02-17T21:49:00.003+01:00

Is there anyway I can jump on a plane headed for Thailand? Seems to be the week to jet away (with Carnival starting today in Brazil and our friends escaping for some fun in the sun).

PTT Fun Fact

2012-02-17T04:33:00.001+01:00

Tom Skilling on WGN TV news just noted this winter Chicago has had 41 days of 40+ weather. Compare this to last year's 6, and you can understand why this has been quite a mild season and one I'm thoroughly enjoying.

PTT Remembers Device's "Heart Attack"

2012-02-16T21:05:00.000+01:00

I've been hunting for this track for a while - never remembering who sang it (and searching the title netted zero results). All I could recall was that it featured some dude with blown out blonde hair in black leather. A fave of mine from 1986. Thanks 80s on 8!

Makes You Go Hmm...

2012-02-15T22:14:00.006+01:00

It was noted today in regards to Whitney Houston's death that many who achieve an overwhelming amount of fame seem to get stuck in that moment - their psyche stops growing. So they handle life as they did at the age they achieved success. Michael as a boy. Whitney as a 19-year old who wanted everything her way. Interesting assessment.

Katy Perry's latest single, "Part of Me," one of three songs added to a repackaged version of "Teenage Dream," isn't anything groundbreaking, but I'm diggin' the track. Another fun collaboration with Max Martin and nothing short of what I'd expect from the hitmakers. Check out Katy below as she performs the song live at the Grammys.

With everyone leaving on fun trips this week and next, I'm a bit sad we're not going anywhere. Sure, Miami is in three weeks, but it would be "nice" to have a warm holiday in February.

I'm not sure why Alexandra Burke decided to go with a cross between Euro dance and techno for her new single "Elephant," but no matter the end result is a bit of a mess. Produced by Erick Morillo, the track throws away every hook for an onslaught of auto-tune. You can judge for yourself below.

PTT Review Madonna's Super Bowl Show

2012-02-06T05:23:00.006+01:00

Now that the dust has settle on Madonna's performance, did she give the "Greatest Show on Earth?" My opinion is no. But I'm in the minority because overall response is positive.

She seemed stiff and (understandably) nervous. The production values, however, were top notch as were her song choices. But again, knowing the audience, I would have expected a bit more of a fluid performance. Not bad. Just not the greatest.

In Celebration of the Bowl

2012-02-05T23:13:00.002+01:00

How about a little skit from In Living Color? Sure, it feeds into a stereotype that we try to avoid, but it was the 90s after all.

Madonna Triple Play

2012-02-04T04:45:00.005+01:00

If you'd like to hear three snippets of songs from Madonna's upcoming release MDNA, go HERE. Unfortunately, I'm not enjoying the direction. Not only does her voice seem flat and robotic, the hooks are weak. Sure, I get where she was hoping to land, but I'm afraid she missed the sweet spot. All of which just emphasizes how much Lady Gaga has taken the baton and run with it.

It's here! Madonna is making a splash this weekend with her new release - video, song, Super Bowl performance and movie. As for the song, I'm still not sold. I find myself repeating the chant, "L-U-V Madonna," but that's about it. At least she made more of an effort this go around on the video (as compared to the lame attempts with Hard Candy). I will note, she looks amazing. Those fat injections and fillers are working wonders for the Material Girl. She looks like a cross between the Madge of yesteryear and Michelle Pfeiffer. Check out the video below.

As I'm resting on the couch, Chris is torturing me with the Michael Jackson episode of Glee. What a horrible idea, concept and (quite honestly) show. There's just something about the cast, twist and turns, that is intolerable. Cancel it already and let's move on to Smash.

2012-02-01T00:53:00.005+01:00

Madonna unveiled her new album cover. It's Vogue meets Confessions. Hopefully, for Madonna's career, it sells more like the 1990 hit rather than moderate splash a few years ago.

Not Even Close

2012-01-31T22:37:00.004+01:00

To say that this man resembles Tom Brady is ludicrous. But apparently some in the media confused him for the New England Patriot's quarterback. Get glasses people.

Note: "Not Even Close" credited to TP.

Winter's Delay

2012-01-31T16:05:00.002+01:00

Today's forecast in Chicago is 60 degrees. Where's winter? I'm not sure but I have no complaints that it hasn't arrived yet. Don't get me wrong, it will come - but hopefully later and without much fanfare. I only feel sorry for the little flowers that are confused and think it's late March. They're in for quite the shock eventually.

Starts Tonight!

2012-01-30T20:15:00.002+01:00

Ru Paul's Drag Race starts tonight, 9/8 Central on Logo. Now, lip sync for your life.

PTT Enjoys Chris Zylka

2012-01-29T23:48:00.002+01:00

We're a big fan of the CW's Secret Circle. Dark magic + attractive cast = FUN. One that fits the equation is Chris Zylka. Sure, he's a bit skinny, but there's something about him that I find very appealing - especially in the photo above. It's good to know he was born in 1985 so I don't feel like such an old creep.

Crayola Continues Its Winning Streak

2012-01-29T23:08:00.004+01:00

There's one brand out there today that continues to impress me with their product innovation: Crayola. Their latest, the Crayola Crayon Maker with Story Studio, melts crayons down and re-forms them into one-of-a-kind designer crayons. Amazing. Creativity taken to the next level - providing kids a way to customize their projects even further.

Wow

2012-01-29T02:07:00.002+01:00

Because of the flooding in Sindh, Pakistan in 2010, the spiders crawled up and into the trees to escape. Spine tingling yet amazing. How that little girl can be standing under the tree is beyond me. Ugh.

Enjoying Max Ryan

2012-01-28T22:28:00.003+01:00

On a lazy Saturday, where I'm resting on the couch trying to recover from a horrible cold I caught last week, I'm watching Sex and the City 2. I haven't seen the film for a few years so I thought it would be good entertainment. I remember it was bad. What I don't remember was Max Ryan who plays Rikard Spirt. Very handsome.

Photo of the Day

2012-01-26T01:10:00.003+01:00

I guess this is one way to hold on tight.

It's That Simple

2012-01-26T01:02:00.002+01:00

As stated by Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg in New Jersey, "...We do not put civil rights questions on the ballot."

Thanks Ellen

2012-01-26T00:37:00.001+01:00

Mario Lopez has a new underwear line coming out. So he literally put himself out there on Ellen today. I'm not complaining.

If you're like me and wondering why there's only two original songs nominated this year for an Oscar, look no further for an answer. Apparently song nominees are determined only by the Academy's music branch of voting members who watch sections where the music is played and nothing else - no opening or closing credits for example.

Voters then assign each song a numerical score between 1 and 10. If a song receives less than an average of 8.25, it's dropped. If there's only one song that tops the threshold, then the next highest vote getter secures a nomination as well. All of which means this year you're left with two songs, "Man or Muppet" from the Muppet Movie and "Rio" from, you guessed it, Rio.

I think it's safe to say the Muppets will walk with this one. Hopefully they'll perform! Check it out below.

An Almost Naked Dan Cortese

2012-01-24T04:21:00.004+01:00

It's been a while since I've seen Dan Cortese on TV. Looks like he's been hitting the gym instead of auditioning - as witnessed on TV Land's Hot in Cleveland.

Hello Geoff

2012-01-24T01:45:00.003+01:00

I don't watch The Finder, but the previews featuring star Geoff Stults make me want to check it out for one reason: Geoff Stults. He's kinda hot.

New Monkey Beats

2012-01-22T21:51:00.002+01:00

A few peeps are clamoring for a new Monkey Beats because they've literally worn out the previous set. So yesterday, I created the "F**K Mix" - featuring some hot tracks with the swear word prominently highlighted in the beats. New tracks by Scissor Sisters and Michael Jackson along with my favorite remixers Dave Audé and Ralphi Rosario complete the set. Check out the one-click-to-download link HERE.

All About the F**K

2012-01-22T17:21:00.005+01:00

My friend Tylin has been raving about this song since Greece back in August. But quite frankly, I wasn't feeling Sak Noel's Loca People until this week. Now, I'm totally digging it! And oddly enough, it's the third song I've fallen in love with that features the word F**K. Check it out below.

More Fake

2012-01-20T06:26:00.002+01:00

I've said all along that I'd bet money that that goofy Kardashian family would film new scenes for their reality show that make Kim out to be an angel in her divorce. According to published reports this week, turns out I was right. Duh!

Body Fuzion

2012-01-18T22:22:00.001+01:00

Body Fuzion with Drew Barrymore still gets me every time. Classic sketch comedy with the impeccable Kristen Wigg.

Potato Chip Guy - All the Way

2012-01-18T03:39:00.002+01:00

Forget the Taco Bell 12 pack and it's carrier. I'll take the lazy and just woke-up potato chip guy.

Where's Jessie?

2012-01-18T02:17:00.004+01:00

I noticed on someone's FB wall that they posted the question, "Where have you been Jessie Pavelka?" I wonder the same thing? Where has he been? So I Googled Jessie - trying to learn of any recent news. Not much. Barely any new photos. I did uncover the one above where he looks slightly different than before - more boyish? Not as rough perhaps? Maybe it's the hair and dark features. I prefer the more rugged Jessie. But don't get me wrong, I'll take either.

Atta Boy George

2012-01-17T01:36:00.001+01:00

George Clooney continues to demonstrate his passion for equality. Thank you George for continuing to speak out against those who feel the gay and lesbian communities are less-than-equal.

Brown Diapers

2012-01-17T01:29:00.003+01:00

Dolce & Gabbana's fall/winter 2012/2013 hit the runway this week in Milan. Nothing screams fashion like a brown diaper.

Just One Fine Dude

2012-01-17T01:26:00.001+01:00

Gabriel Aubry, Halle Berry's former man, is one fine looking dude. Just sayin'.

Treat Yo Self

2012-01-16T23:25:00.005+01:00

If you ever find yourself questioning a special purchase, just stop and repeat, "Treat Yo Self."
