**** MY BI LIFE By: Gerald McCullouch **** HUSTLING SERIES SEASON THREE TEASER Hustling New Year's Eve is not only the last day of 2013, but the first day Season three of the award winning web series "Hustling" and will be available for viewing. The intense series was created by Broadway stud Sebastian LaCause who starred as "Rocky" in the Broadway revival of " The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and was one of my co-stars in the first "Bear City" film franchise.

I've had the opportunity to work in and travel to some amazing places for work but the last day of filming season 3 of Hustling takes the cake. The location was a heterosexual sex club and

Ariana Grande Vocal powerhouse Ariana Grande is sweet and sexy on the cover of Cosmopolitan’s February issue, on newsstands nationwide January 7th. At only 20 years of age, she shares her amazing success story with the magazine and dishes on best friends, boys, and her unstoppable music career. On being a positive role model: “I think I’m an old soul. What excites younger people doesn’t excite me… I’m kind of a boring, normal girl who likes Harry Potter and to sit in her pajamas and sing. A lot of my friends are partiers, but I’ve never really clicked with that. I like Barbra Streisand, and when was the last time you saw Babs getting, like, turnt up? That’s kind of the road that I, as a lady, would like to go down.” On her first date with Nathan Sykes, the youngest member of British boy band The Wanted: “We were going back to his hotel to watch a movie, and he had Ladurée macarons and sunflowers waiting—I love Parisian baked goods, and sunflo

'THE HUSTLE' WILL COMPLETELY BLOW YOU AWAY

Image
**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. Harding ****    George Clooney THE HUSTLE --- Everything you've heard about David O’ Russell’s American Hustle is overwhelmingly true; it is the best movie I've seen this year. Russell is reported to be one dubious cat for sure, his Silver Linings Play book from last year was a charmer through and through; but, he reportedly got into a fist-fight with George Clooney when he had the actor in his brilliant Three Kings movie in 1999. Sure, he’s an artist, but Hustle just completely blew me away in every way possible. It’s certainly the best performance ever from Christian Bale (who essays lifelong con artist Irving Rosenfeld), who brings his patented intensity to every scene he’s in. From the opening shot where he gamely applies a hair piece to his dwindling bald pate; it’s both sad and truly funny; Bale reportedly added 40 pounds to his frame for this role. His edginess has never been better presented either; I'

INSIDE MILEY CYRUS FLING WITH KELLAN LUTZ

Image
Miley Cyrus Kellan Lutz Forget about bros before babes! Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz, a good friend of Liam Hemsworth’s, is having a fling with Miley Cyrus, a source confirms to Us Weekly . The actor, 28, reached out to the Bangerz singer, 21, in early December, says the insider. “The next day, they hung out,” explains the source. “And they’ve been hooking up ever since.” Cyrus even invited the 6-foot-1 actor on an overnight jaunt from Miami to the Bahamas Dec. 17. (Rumors of a potential romance between the two were ignited after both stars were photographed walking off the same private jet, separately, after returning to Miami from the excursion.) Lutz, who says he “got cut” to film January’s The Legend of Hercules, is “nice eye candy” for the singer, adds the insider. “It doesn’t hurt that he’s Liam’s pal,” the source continues. “But they really enjoy each other’s company.” Cyrus and ex-fiance Hemsworth split back in September after three years together.

FINAL CURTAIN RUMORS FOR GEORGE MICHAEL

Image
**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. Harding **** Peter Max A COMEDY TWEAK --- A few columns back we noted that Gotham-PR pasha David Salidor had exited his post as celebrity-booker for XM’s Brett Winterble’s XM radio show. In a rather lengthy exit interview over lunch, we explored some of the difficulties he had and what actually happened: Says Salidor, "Right from the beginning there were some serious issues with Sirius/XM, who employed their own booking people. I don't know if it was a case of stepping on the wrong toes or what, but there were some serious communication issues there. I tried to handle it as best I could … and, think I succeeded." He also added that some of the interviews he was able to secure (80’s icon Ted Nugent, actor Richard Belzer; Steve Van Zandt; and, artist Peter Max stand out) were truly sensational. "When Brett got Nugent to reveal his slaughter of 455 hogs with his machine gun for Bill Maher … it was a g

MCCARTNEY AND FALLON A HOLIDAY SNL GEM

Image
**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G.H. Harding **** Jimmy Fallon SNL COMES ALIVE --- This weekend’s Saturday Night Live, was hosted by the formidable Jimmy Fallon (soon to inherit NBC's The Tonight Show come February) and the musical guest was Justin Timberlake. Fallon opened the show with a monologue about him singing with David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney … only, they couldn't make it, so the plan was to have him perform as each star. He did a pretty good Bowie, Dylan and then when he stepped into the McCartney slot, Macca himself walked on to thunderous applause to perform “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," with Jimmy; and, it was pretty good. Also hilarious was the Barry Gibb Talk Show, with both Fallon and Timberlake and a surprise appearance by Gibb himself at the end. This was the first time the sketch was performed after the passing of Robin Gibb in 2012. Funny bit for sure, but memories of Robin and, for that matter,

MELISSA ETHERIDGE'S LGBT "UPRISING OF LOVE"

Image
Melissa Etheridge Grammy Award winner Melissa Etheridge has written and recorded a new anthem entitled “Uprising of Love”, which has become the inspiration for a new coalition by the same name, Uprising of Love, a movement in support of the safety and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Russians. In advance of the songs official release in January 2014, Etheridge shares today a special remix of Uprising of Love as a sneak preview of her new track and asks you to join her in this international uprising of love by spreading the message of love through lyric. “We have worked so hard to create change and equality for the LGBT community in the US and it’s shocking to see such backwards movement in Russia. This song is a direct call to action for people to get involved, become vocal, and connect directly with this serious issue. There is no time to waste and that’s why I chose to let this remix debut ahead of the January 2014 release of the original

THE CHRISTMAS CATS CHASE CHRISTMAS RATS

Image
**** CHRISTMAS BOOKS **** The Christmas Cats Chase Christmas Rats The Christmas Cats Chase Christmas Rats (Quad City Press) by Constance Corcoran Wilson is a Seuss-ical tale for young children which builds upon the moral of the first Christmas Cats book to once again teach children a valuable life lesson. In this second Christmas Cats adventure the lesson to be learned is: In life, always keep an open mind. Don't accept stereotypes as true or let the unfounded opinions of others prevent you from finding out the truth for yourself. We all need to act without prejudice and learn to accept each other as individuals. The Christmas Cats learn that rats, too, should be judged as individuals. Another message: all of us should try to help others. Written for the author's four-year-old granddaughters, Ava and Elise Wilson, with the assistance of talented professional illustrator Gary McCluskey, The Christmas Cats continue to have adventures

BEYONCE SHOPS TILL SHE DROPS @ WALMART

Image
Beyonce Attention Walmart shoppers, Beyonce is in the building! The 32-year-old international superstar continued to shock fans on the heels of her newly released, record-breaking album. The singer showed up to a Walmart store in Tewksbury, Massachusetts on Friday, Dec. 20, to purchase her album Beyonce, and now Us Weekly can exclusively reveal the video from that surprising day. "It's exciting to see it in person," Queen Bey gushed as she smiled big while looking at a her album Beyonce on the shelves. During the night outing, the "Drunk In Love" singer wore a tight-fitting aqua-colored crop top and matching skirt, a black leather jacket, and her blonde locks down in waves. And which special fan got an extra special hug? None other than an adorable little tot named Ariana. "Hi beautiful! Do you want to give me a hug?" Beyonce said to the little girl. "Oh my goodness! Aw, what a sweetie pie you are," she said in the vid

PROS AND CONS AT RICK'S FOR SANTA CON PARTY

Image
Santa With The Girls Of Ricks Those supposedly boisterous and sometimes cantankerous Santas that take over the Manhattan streets once a year in an all-day drinking festival were actually quite well-behaved, according to some of the exotic dancers at Rick's Cabaret in midtown. Santa never had time to be naughty at the famed club, he left that to the girls. "I heard that at last year's Santa Con some of the Santas were rowdy in the streets, but I believe it was just a handful causing the trouble, because they are always well behaved when they come here," explained Rick's Cabaret Girl Nadine. Rick's Cabaret Girl Daisy said, "About 400 Santas came into the club recently--and they were very nice. Many of the Santas asked me to sit on their lap--well, that's what I would normally do so it wasn't asking too much. Haha!" Rick's Cabaret was named "the #1 adult club in New York City" by Playboy.

Elisa Herr With Gael Greene The culinary and philanthropic communities joined Citymeals-on-Wheels stalwarts and just plain foodies tonight to cheer the legendary restaurant critic Gael Greene over the more or less harrowing hurdle of her 80th birthday. “I don’t know how this happened so quickly,” said the “Insatiable Critic,” her tag for 40 years in New York magazine before she was fired and moved her critiques to insatiablecritic.com . “One evening I was 40 and disco-dancing and all men were 26, and next…this frightening big number. As she spoke, two towering chocolate birthday cakes, each marked “40,” would roll into Stella 34 Trattoria at Macy’s, overlooking the spire of the Empire State Building, where friends and supporters will gather to roast and toast her. Greene, who managed to write seven books including two erotic best selling novels and a memoir between meals, started her journalism career at the New York Post in 1957, after a brief dalliance at

SOUR ON THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

Image
**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. HARDING ****   Bruce Springsteen HALL OF FAME SPEAKS --- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years back refused to induct the E Street Band with Bruce Springsteen. But now, after considerable leaning on from within, the Hall of Fame has reversed that thinking and, have come up with an award for Springsteen’s amazing band. They'll get a Special Merit Award, cooked up in a backroom maneuver. Also in the better-late-than-never category are: Linda Ronstadt, Hall & Oates, and Cat Stevens. KISS also made the cut this year, as did Peter Gabriel. Nirvana made it on their first year of eligibility. Also being inducted, are the original managers of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, respectively Brian Epstein and Andrew Loog Oldham. (How about Nat Weiss and Sid Bernstein?) Notably absent yet again are dozens of producers who made hit records and created the sounds of stars in the 60’s and 70’s including Phil Ramone, Ri
