**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Quentin Tarantino Just A Revolution – NBC’s Revolution, unceremoniously canceled by the network, bid a fond adieu to the airwaves Wednesday night with a show that was both well-acted and particularly well written. It was more of a season finale than a series finale, but by the time the network cut the show, the episode had already been written and filmed. The show joins a group of sci-fi shows (Jericho, Millennium,Fast Forward, Almost Human, Dollhouse, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Stargate; and Alphas) that struggled at first, but began to build a sizable following that ultimately was ignored by the network. Revolution, in its second season, was not helped at all by a terrifically long-spring break by the network. The show, created by J.J. Abrams, posited what would happen if all the electricity suddenly stopped. The first season was raw, somewhat rambling, but by the end of that...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Elizabeth Moss THE STRATEGY --- The last ten minutes of last Sunday’s Mad Men (“The Strategy”) was pure gold; perhaps the best three scenes ever in the Matt Weiner’s epic show. One scene with Peggy Olsen (Elizabeth Moss); one with the partners at SCP; and the ending one, sort of a group scene, which just blew me away. Simply dazzling. Now in its last season (7) and split in half (the final show this year airs next week); it’s been a tough go, with fans lamenting its demise, while the pundits ready to champion something new. One thing’s for sure, Jon Hamm, fully owns the role of the show’s Don Draper and once this show leaves the airwaves, there will indeed be a big hole in the TV framework. Hamm, in a great cover story in the new Vanity Fair, fully admits that he'll never again have a role like Don Draper … and, that the creation is truly collaboration between him and Weiner. ...

**** WORK IT BITCH! **** The Best Of Bianca Del Rio It has been many years since I was hanging out with Ru Paul. I have such memories when she was just like all of us hanging out at the Christopher Street piers in New York City. Then her career skyrocketed with "Work" and this diva always worked.  I will always remember being backstage with Ru Paul at Wigstock. It sent shivers down my spine when she went on to perform in front of what seemed like all of New York City. Ru took the stage and told the story of how she used to be homeless and poor and used to sleep on the piers. Then Ru pointed to a luxury apartment building in the sky and said, "that's where I live now, you got to work it baby" and blasted into her number one hit. New York City had made another star. I started to see Ru at penthouse parties. Ru became friends with some of the most powerful and rich people in the world. We would drink champagne at Denise Rich's ...

Penelope Cruz Penélope Cruz, the Oscar-winning actress and Lancôme ambassador, is featured in Marie Claire’s June “20 Questions” column (on stands now). Penelope Cruz Quotes How did you make your first dollar? “It was a peseta, not a dollar. I was 13 and played a ballerina in a commercial. I was a dancer, so they hired me and showed only my feel dancing.” What splurge is well worth it? “Maybe not in money, but in calories it would be tortilla española, the Spanish omelet with fried potato and egg. Delicious.” What is your go-to shower song? “I’ll sing the same song so many times I burn out on it. It happened last year with ‘Blurred Lines.’”

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G.H. Harding **** Barbara Walters WALTERS ADIEU --- We watched the two-hour broadcast on ABC last Friday (Barbara Walters: Her Story) about departing newswoman Barbara Walters … and, was literally gobsmacked by the depth and width of the people she has interviewed in her 50-year career; from Betty Davis to Mamie Eisenhower (!) and, Castro, Carrey and Carson. I recall growing up and watching her interviews and being more fascinated than anything else about her choice of subjects; deftly mixing the entertainment and news barriers. Listen, it was compelling for sure. Watching this special was like recalling so many instances from my growing up. While it’s easy to dismiss The View at times – especially when all the participants talk at once- the show has been a hit and endures all these years later. Friday's View show (Walters' final appearance) featured Hillary Clinton, Oprah all the previous View-hosts an...

Charlize Theron Charlize Theron is a mom now, but that doesn't mean she's going to be sticking to roles in kiddie movies. While out at the "A Million Ways to Die in the West" premiere in Los Angeles, the actress told Wonderwall that motherhood has made her want to take on more serious and important roles. "I think it's a personal thing, but for me, having a child only emphasizes how much more I want to explore real issues and things that really matter," she revealed. "Darkness is one of those things that I don't think that I can veer away from just because I have a child." The "Monster" star, romantically linked to Sean Penn, became more motivated to take part in eye-opening films after adopting her son Jackson in 2012.
