but GARY! Oldman, that is - the newest Hunky Dory in our Four Eyed Fan Club!
I even bought a pair just to have a little fun — and I don’t even need glasses. Well, it’s not quite the same.
Today I had a great conversation w/Rod McKuen, who was drinking a diet red bull. He said to me, “Costco is my favorite place!”
I never thought I’d have the chance to tell McKuen (or Richard Hell for that matter, even though he lived in my NY neighborhood) this story … but I got my chance! “In high school, I used to turn in song lyrics to my creative writing class and see who’d get better grades. I turned in this song, ‘Blank Generation’ (he nodded and pointed - he knew it!) and my teacher said, “Donna! I’m impressed, you’ve taken Rod McKuen to a different level!’ and I had no idea who ‘Rod McKuen’ was!” He CRACKED up. “Beat Generation!” He laughed even more when I told him I was from Lowell, MA … for your beat studies, that’s Jack Kerouac’s hometown. And the high school where I turned in such a work of staggering genius was the same where Mr. K played on the football team.
Look! You can listen to Bob McFadden and Dor (guess who?) and watch the Brunswick 45 spin around:

Jill St. John lets him have it!
Uncle Milty is repulsed by the lack of integrity:
If this isn’t a review to die for, I don’t know what is!
The Oscar, a film that should ideally be viewed with your head under a hair drier - in or out of a beauty parlor. Otherwise you run the risk of hearing clearly some of the raunchiest dialogue ever to emanate from big screen - with plot and characters to match. - NY Herald Tribune
Mavis has a new crush: Robert Q Lewis!
Here he is, making a minor adjustment on her latest pair o’cheaters:
Not long ago I met Ryan O’Neal. He was super nice, and charming. Of course, all I could think of was “Howard!”
How could I post about BIGs without mentioning some of our favorite Lethal Men in Eyewear, such as Wally Cox:
and Tommy Noonan?
and Caine slew my abel-ity to see straight -whew!
What about that new kid on the block - Keith Olbermann?
Oooh!
and Mavis’ long-standing crush, Jemaine Clement:
I have a girlfriend who has a thing for Arthur Miller:
and in a way, I can see it …
PS. and I almost forgot one of our favorite myspace friends:
Men With Large Glasses!
Today I saw Dino De Laurentiis at Target.
How the hell did Keenan Wynn get there?
