FAREWELL TO VILLAGE VOICES MICHAEL MUSTO

John Goodman

Bradley Cooper

HANGOVER 3 – THE END --- We just caught a screening of the supposed last installment of The Hangover – Part III: I was excited to see this as the advance word has been most positive and I’m happy to report that it is indeed a return to the hijinks's of the first one. The second one, which found our Wolfpack stranded in Bangkok, was somewhat confusing. This time, they’re eventually back in Vegas, as the story begins with Galifianakis’s character of Alan facing some personal issues; the work here from Ken Jeong and first timer John Goodman – whose character (Marshall) was actually briefly referenced in the first one, is strong, strong, strong. John Goodman … what a career resurgence! I’ve always enjoyed his work (last year’s Argo) and here again, he’s just terrific. Jeong’s character, Leslie Chow, has emerged as just a force of nature and he again he does not disappoint in this one. Bradley Cooper, as Phil, is just tremendous and I flashed several times on the fact that he has, during the course of these 3 movies, become Hollywood’s newest star. Ed Helms, as a more self-assured Stu is terrific too. Melissa McCarthy is also here and delivers a great scene with Galifianakis, whose work here is just of the highest caliber. Face it: has there been a more compelling comedic presence on the screen as Zach? Part Andy Kaufmann, part Jim Carrey … he’s tremendous. The writing and direction from Todd Phillips is spot-on perfect; from the filming, to the writing and music. Let’s face it; these three movies have always contained just great music and here again, perfect! It takes the first hour to get the lads back to Vegas, but when they officially arrive, Stu says, “I told myself I’d never come back.’ Phil responds with the line: “Don’t worry … it all ends tonight.” I was hoping for a reprise of the tiger or maybe even Mike Tyson, but was satisfied nonetheless. There’s a welcomed ending after the credits, so sit tight. This movie will be the biggest one of them all. I loved it!

Lady Bunny




MUSTO MUFFLED AT THE VOICE --- I was out of town last weekend, but when I returned late-Monday, I was greeted with the news that NY’s venerable Village Voice, had axed their chief columnist Michael Musto. The story goes that the paper’s new owners fired him, food critic Robert Sietsema and theatre critic Michael Feingold. I’ve known Michael for something like 25 years and there's really no better soul out there; he’s been at The Voice since 1984 years and essentially was the voice of paper. His daily musing on everything from Lady Bunny to Rock Hudson, Barry Z, Keith Haring and Rosie O’Donnell too, was just essential reading. He championed the newest and the brightest, while his thoughts and words were true words of wisdom. Vince Aletti, who used to work at the Voice and now covers photography for The New Yorker, said in essence, this was probably the best thing for him, as the paper’s readership dwindled and dwindled, thereby diminishing Musto’s audience. Reportedly, he’s been besieged by new offers (rightly so!) and I predict he’ll wind up at a prestigious entity like the New York Times or even The New Yorker (which would be a delicious choice). I don’t think he’ll fade into the wind like George Wayne did … because he’s always been spot-on perfect and a very prescient voice. Plus, he's consistently witty, fair and dependable. Many a night, I'd be at an event and lo and behold, there'd be Musto ... arriving on his bicycle and dutifully locking it up. Seeing him at an event was sometimes like the Pope giving his blessing. Seeing Michael always made it OK. The New Yorker’s Philip Gourevitch wrote on Twitter, “The Village Voice firing Michael Musto amounts to the Voice firing itself.’ Just about any gay-centric gossip column is a derivative of Musto, who gave gay issues, gay artists, and gay nightlife a central place in his column. While Page Six was covering the rich and famous socialites of the world, Musto was shining a spotlight on a universe no one else did. So true.

 Justin Timberlake




JT DAZZLES --- Every so often a song just dazzles me; earlier this year, it was Of Monsters And Men’s “Little Talks”; right now, hands down it’s Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” The production is JT’s typical flawless production; the lyrics are the real jewel here: “Aren't you somethin' to admire, ‘cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror. And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine. If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find. Just know that I'm always parallels on the other side”. I’ve always been sort of on the fence with him; His “Cry Me A River” was a masterpiece, but “Suit And Tie” just confused me: was he trying to be the next Sinatra? And, what exactly did Jay-Z bring to the song? Whatever, “Mirrors” is the jewel on his 20/20 Experience album. I also saw the accompanying video for the song yesterday; again, flawless. JT’s the real deal!

Meanwhile, Ms. Barney and her friends began to dance inside the cabana while a saxophone player serenaded her with his tunes.

The party munched on cuisine by Wolfgang Puck enjoying favorites such as the Margerita Pizza, Portobello Pizza, Chinois Chicken Salad, Grilled Prime Burger and more!

Another great year for DJ Susan Levine and another birthday to celebrate for New York's top spinner.

This year Miss Levine not only hosted the grand opening of Cherry's On The Bay in Fire Island, she celebrated her birthday bash with a wild night of shows and top songs. This club was packed and the crowd was wild.

Sable Scities aka Timothy Byars and Bianca Del Rio hosted from the stage and went after audience members with a vengeance. The staff of Dune Point Fire Island also joined the fun, by jumping onstage and singing Happy Birthday in Czech. Since nothing ever stuns Queen Susan Levine, except when I make a bad pot of coffee, she was thrilled by Petra Brehl and her mother Sona Pavlasova Ceska's staff of Czech beauties singing the famed song in their native language. What could be better on a beautiful night in Cherry Grove?

Spotted in the audience was the oldest intern on The Elvis Duran Show, Johny Pool. Johny has fans worldwide. Tourists come from all over the globe to taste Johny's famous drinks, this guy is a legend.

Logan Hardcore was spotted working the crowd and our favorite Cherry Lane Cafe bartender Josh Hart, was in full swing presenting Miss Levine with her birthday cake. The dance floor was packed and once again Miss Levine really brought out the top hits on a wild Fire Island night.

Get ready America, Queen Levine is really on the top of her game this year and no one gets the crowd moving like her!

As far as talk show wars, dog parents had specific thoughts on who has the better dog voice:

· Almost a quarter (24%) of dog owners think that if they sounded like Regis Philbin, they might get their dogs most excited for mealtime over other celebs with standout voices. Far fewer chose Regis’ successor, Michael Strahan (9%). What would Kelly think?!

Dog parents also saw Golden Girl Betty White as the best doggie babysitter:

TEEN MOM FARRAH ABRAHAM ON SEX WITH DEEN

****

REALITY TELEVISION

****

Farrah Abraham

The June issue of Metropolis Nights, MTV's "Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham tells Chaunce Hayden why she doesn't like being compared to Kim Kardashian, why sex with James Deen wasn't that great and why she decided to go porn!

ON KIM KARDASHIAN:

I definitely feel it’s an unfair comparison. I have been very successful with other things in my life besides just being a reality TV star. I have books and other things going on in my life that outshine Kim Kardashian. I feel I just outshine her when it comes to both our personal and professional lives. That’s why I don’t like being compared to her. We’re two really different people. I don’t foresee myself getting married more than once. I don’t see myself making the same choices that she has made. Good or bad, I just feel I’m going to be a smarter person. I don’t want to be negative, we’re just different people. I wish her the best, but I’m going to focus on my life.

ON SEX WITH JAMES DEEN BEING SO-SO:

I have to say that sex with James Deen…..I hate calling him by his pornographic name, but whatever, I’ll just keep calling him that….I’ll just say he was never the guy of my dreams or just so my type. I just thought he would respect me. He was never the guy that I thought was “He’s so hot”. It was never like that. 

How was he in bed? Judging by the tape you had no complaints.

When it comes to sexual performance I definitely need more than that. He wasn’t as good as it may seem in the video.

ON HER DECISION TO RELEASE THE SEX VIDEO:

It was difficult. My attorney’s and other people on my team advised me on the good and the bad. They let me know what I was going to go through and how tough it would be. I took it all in and at the end of the day was advised to sell the tape because I was getting the amount I was asking for and I’ll have some control over how it’s put out to the public. I remember just sitting in my car after dropping my daughter off at school and thinking, “Am I going to regret this for the rest of my life?” It was already being written about in all the magazines and people were saying horrible things about me. So I felt, why don’t I just say I’m better than this and let it go? But than I also thought, when I’m older and my daughter brings up the things she reads on the Internet I don’t want to be in a position where I end up lying to her. I don’t want to hide it away and act like it never happened. Indeed it did happen. It’s true and I can’t lie about it. So I weighed all my options and finally decided to face it head on. 

 NOTE: Farrah Abraham will be judging a pole dancing competition at the Sunrise Go-Go strip club in Paterson, New Jersey on Thursday, June 13th.

CHANNING TATUM IS READY FOR BUNDLE OF JOY

Channing And Jenna Dewan-Tatum

The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly is all about how soulmates Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum are ready to welcome their bundle of joy after relocating to London!

The move to London was an abrupt change to their birthing plan, as a result of Channing’s film Jupiter Ascending moving up production. Now that the couple has embraced the fact that their baby will be born abroad, they have settled in and are focused on each other and keeping their marriage healthy. The article details their love story. “He loves me when I wake up in the morning — no makeup and my hair’s a mess,” Dewan-Tatum has said. One side bar contained in the spread centers on Jenna’s maternity must-haves, which are:

-Mexican Food: “Pregnant cravings are calling,” the Texas girl tweeted on May 2.

-Shania Twain: The hip-hop fan also rocks out to the country star’s classic tunes.

-Jeans: She swears by Paige Denim.

-Downton Abbey: After season 3’s finale, she tweeted, “I wish there were episodes on every night forever and ever.”

-Kids’ book: A Little Story About the Biggest Thing That Ever Happened “is the cutest,” she tweeted.

-Moisturizer: Her beauty secret? SK-II Facial Treatment Essence.

Also in the new issue of Us, is an exclusive, salacious interview with Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham who completely stands behind her sex tape. She overlooked one important detail though. “I forgot the condoms!” the 21-year-old mom recalls of the April 7 XXX shoot in LA. Though she said before that she got "great feedback" from the porn companies that wanted to buy her sex tape, not everyone is a fan. Fellow Teen Mom Catelynn Lowell, for example, tweeted that her former costar sounded like a "dying horse" on the video. But Abraham seems unfazed by the criticism. "I know what jealousy looks like," she told Us of Lowell's tweet. Then, addressing Lowell specifically, she added: "Catelynn has a weight issue, but I don’t say harsh things about her to hurt her self-esteem." Abraham also opened up to Us about accusations that she's a "slut" and her plans to "change the world."
