Carol Channing was born on this day in 1921. While most of the whippersnappers in this generation will either not know who the hell Carol Channing is or think she is just a character from an episode of Family Guy (Up yours, young people!), in actuality Carol is a veteran of stage and screen with multiple Tony Awards and even an Oscar nomination. Of course my love of Ms Channing comes from her iconic appearance as the White Queen in the 1985 Alice in Wonderland TV movie.

While most people associate the dearly departed songstress Etta James with her signature tune “At Last”, I have always been partial to her cover of this Louis Prima number that was first popularized in the 1940s by Fran Warren. “A Sunday Kind of Love” has been recorded by a laundry list of great performers from Ella Fitzgerald to Reba McEntire but to me it belongs to Etta James.

Food Network celebrity chef and Doyenne of Diabetes, Paula Deen has been under heavy fire over the last few weeks due to her publicizing her own diagnoses as a diabetes sufferer just in time to cash in on a spokesperson gig for some newfangled diabetes treatment drug that could possibly cause thyroid cancer among several other horrible maladies.
Well I say “Leave Paula Alone!!!“; it’s not like you all didn’t know that eating things like “Bacon Cheeseburger Meat Loaf” and “Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding” wasn’t a form of slow motion suicide.

I recently watched a trailer for an abomination called Gingerclown 3D that stars Mr. Curry and I instantly felt horrible that an actor of his awesomeness is appearing in what looks to be the shittiest movie ever made.

The dude just has a talent for turning crap into gold which brings me to the list of my Top 5 Favorite Tim Curry Roles!
