Abu is Dead, Again

He's been reported dead at least twice before, now Al Qaida CFO Mustafa Abu is reportedly most sincerely dead after a drone attack in Pakistan, not to be confused with Kwik-E-Mart proprietor Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

Wunning fow Guvewnow

California Republican gubernatorial candidate wannabe/former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, and an Elmer Fudd mask on the back of an old cereal box.

So alike, and yet only one has been endorsed by Dick Cheney (not for hunting skills).

Ogre Envy

Vogue Contributing Editor and fashion maven Andre Leon Talley speaking at a breakfast at 21 Club today in NYC, and "Shrek Forever After" star Shrek.

So alike, and yet only one wears clothing fit for a toon.

Where the Wild Thing Is

"Precious" starlet Gabourey Sidibe as she appeared on "The View" couch yesterday (sitting next to she whose name must not be mentioned), and an illustration from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are."


Lovely creatures and one hideous beast.

Chexy's Saturday Matinee

Forty years ago, this was the #1 song. Here's BJ Thomas with "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head."


Here's some trippy video from Duane E. Roberts.




Miss Nina Simone, from what I think is a 1960 appearance on "Toast of the Town" with Ed Sullivan. Here's "Love Me or Leave Me."




A little gem... James Dean's first screen appearance in "Has Anybody Seen My Gal?" from 1952. Mr. Smith played by Charles Coburn, and the lovely Piper Laurie as Millie.

Tickle Me Reba

Enhanced country star Reba McEntire at the Academy of Country Music Nominations, and giddy Sesame Street star Elmo.

So alike, and yet only one is a natural redhead.

Corporate Shake-Up

Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries*, 65, and Master Shake from "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" after extensive Guatemalan plastic surgery (on Master Shake).

So alike, yet only one was created by Dr. Weird. (I think.)

*The Corporate Library named Jeffries as the "Highest Paid Worst Performer" of 2008, after he received a compensation package valued at $71.8 million. Jeffries refused to lower prices or offer discounts at Abercrombie & Fitch stores during the retail recession until September, 2009, after the company posted same-store sales losses for 17 consecutive months.
