The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

The ultimate blond bomb Marilyn Monroe was a pot user. Keya Morgan a private collector ot recently a small silentcolor tape that dates around 1958 or 1959 where Marilyn seems to be enjoying a quiet time with some friends while she smokes a joint. The small home film who is in excellent conditions was preserved thanks due a cold attic in New Jersey before being put on auction which was sold by US$275.000 to the collector. Morgan who is a collector of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia plans to sell this rare footage of Marilyn in e-bay during next week, in the meantime enjoy the video below.

I’m always been a fan of good theater but probably this is wrong in 100 different ways. According to her myspace Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is going to be “acting” and “singing” (yeah like SNL where she showed her singing skills to the max); in the hit Broadway musical Chicago for a second time! So it’s true that theater at the end it’s truly dead because how this woman is taking for a second time the role of Roxie Heart? I have no clue about it. But not only that in her myspace Ashlee is offering a series of tempting prize (like if somebody with good taste it’s going to go for those) two tickets to the see the musical (without the hotel and breakfast) two playbill autographed by herself (yeah how much is her autograph in the collector’s market? About 10 dollars, maybe less) and two original cast recording CD’s. Definitely it’s true theater it’s dead because if Ashlee Simpson is offering those prizes to go and see the play there is no more too say.

I smell someone who is jealous and greedy of not being in one of the most successful franchises in the last ten years or maybe Miley it’s just being sincere and giving her opinion about the movie Twilight. In a recent interview Miley said “I think is like a cult, I think is a cult” when she was being interviewed by XM: The Morning Mash-Up last Tuesday, well maybe Miley is not that ignorant regarding movie tastes because she even went far and said “I think it’s bad, I think it’s like people get too into it” (Well that’s not a bad idea expressed from someone who use the word like in a 3:1 ratio).

The success of the franchise hasn’t move a bit the opinion of the “Disney Princess” so far by comparing the fascination that people has with the movie as the fascination many people have with skinny models because she see the hardcore fans similar as many guys when they look at skinny girls and they think they are perfect; or what people are expecting a certain behavior with girls and boys by comparing the relation of Bella and Edward.

In the video there is one hint about Miley, that she likes the archetypes of Johnny Depp and not the skinny wimpy like Robert Pattinson.

Everything is not around Marcia, Marcia, Marcia; according to Brady Bunch co-star Susan Olsen who played Cindy Brady in the cult series The Brady Bunch, the stories told by Maureen McCormick about her lesbian relation with Eve Plumb are completly bogus and she is doing that just to grab some extra attention of her dying not to say already dead acting career.

In Maureen’s book ” Here’s the Story” Maureen claimed to have a lesbian affair with her co-star Plumb while both played sisters in the show but since the release of her autobiography the two actress fell apart because Eve hated the so called lies from Maureen.

So at the end maybe there isn’t going to be another Brady special because the “family” has grown apart. 

Left actress, humanitarian and mother of many Angelina Jolie who’s famous for her big big lips; Right a fish named Bagre who also are famous for their big “lips” the only difference between those two is that one has their natural lips and the other pumped by chemicals.

Genre is not an issue of body but an issue of mind and influenced by roles in a society. A man is not going to be less of a man if he will express some emotions or say I love you, you are what you are but also society can be young an immature to accept more than the previously established conventionalism maybe as a society we have a long way to go to understand that the world is not black and white but it have all the specters of color imaginable. Maybe with Chaz Bono we have learned a few new things about the reassignment process that is not easy on a personal and social level but feeling good with your outside as you are in your insides can make you overcome with any challenge in life.

Is interesting that someone public as Chaz is giving to the public a more deep look about the process even if he wants to maintain it private it has become public than any other celebrity because of the interest of the media but even in that circus Chaz says that he’s starting to feel happy in the outside as in the inside because he’s becoming what he really was; but in a process like that, that is so delicate the person like Chaz can achieve a successful result with emotional support because after the operations there are going to be emotional wounds as well.

Poor Sarah Michelle Gellar, one of the best actresses of our generation and her career ended after Scooby Doo 2. At least somethings in her life aren’t that bad, her daughter Charlotte Prinze was born in September and basically that is the good news on the other hand her career has been on the professional purgatory for over a decade now and it seems that she can’t be detached from the role of Buffy Summers (Wow not even Kelsey Grammer is attached to Frasier and he played the character for ten years) as well her hubby Freddy Prinze Jr. who hasn’t acted in quite a while.

According to E! the pilot of Sarah new comeback The Wonderful Maladys is in the development purgatory and maybe it’s going to hell because the executives from HBO are having doubts about choosing her pilot for the 2010 lineup and probably is not going to be picked.

I imagined that the script was bad and maybe the acting was so so but poor Sarah Michelle Gellar you need to reinvent yourself or keep appearing in Robot Chicken.

In the pop knowledge there is a formula that goes Beauty has no relation with being smart but maybe the pop knowledge is a little bit out of date and needs to be update soon. One of those people that according to the public eye is really beautiful is the model and internet personality Adrianne Curry , better known from the cycle one of America’s Next Top Model and from the Internet radio show The Adrianne Curry Show.

Trying to decipher who is Adrianne at a simple glance is impossible, at first she looks like the prototypical beauty “all looks and no brain or interests at all” but saying that is going into a cliche and judging a person in a priori basis; I guess at the end everyone has something interesting to say and we should stop be judgmental about the relation of looks and intelligence.

Tonight Adrianne opened a ustream account, she held her first show which was mostly improvised but it was enjoyable and it was at the end a nice chat between Adrianne and 166 people at the end of the session (even Adrianne’s husband actor Christopher Knight made a cameo). There were different topics that were spoken, mostly going from comic con, the legalization of Marijuana as a therapeutic drug and feminism.

As the night moved on the viewers saw a different facet of Miss Curry, we saw a complex individual that believes in human rights and that every man and woman is free to choose their own path. Much different from the Miss Perfect Image of America’s Next Top Model. We saw a woman like any other with her flaws and grace; someone who is not afraid of speaking firmly what she believes and showing that even if she is a celebrity she is like anyone else. There were several topics that had a stain of reality; It’s true, medical marijuana can be benefit to the people with glaucoma and to relieve articulation pain produced by diabetes and with the success that is in California other states should consider the idea of implementing the use as well; maybe that should help to end the stigma of the taboo of the marijuana.

Woman’s Rights are an issue that is not well treated in the 21st Century because there older perceptions about the women role in modern society are still prevalent. Is true that even if woman empower strength and beauty, society tends to be Patriarchal oriented sometimes and maybe that’s a reason on why many people are biased toward certain topics regarding sexuality and genre. We tend to think like our forefathers sometimes, we need to focus more on ourselves and not repeat the mistakes of the past to see if we can move on into a more Modernist current of thought.

It was really interesting to explore more of Adrianne’s inner thoughts and more about herself and we hope that there is going to be another transmission soon because the pilot one was definitely interesting to watch.

Not to her career we know that she’s over but to her looks, what happened to the beautiful redhead? That one time looked normal and not like a clone of Meg Ryan.

Actress, auteur, nut job and spokesperson Suzanne Somers should learn to keep her mouth shut and focus on selling products, looking pretty and not giving advices that chemotherapy is wrong; Suzanne statement came because she believes that Patrick Swayze would be alive today if he used an alternative method to threat the cancer that cost the actor’s life; Suzanne said “Why couldn’t they have built him nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins of his body?”. Suzanne leave the treatments and medical opinion for the doctors and trained professional, you are just another pretty blond who speak too much and think too little. 

Golden Girl in real life and fiction Betty White is going to receive a S.A.G. Lifetime Achievement in January of 2010, and she truly deserves it (I hope the award don’t end as a posthumous award) because of her amazing trajectory over 40 years of career and for her lovable character “Rose Nylund”.

S.A.G. President Alan Rosenberg said “Whether creating some of television’s most indelible characters, plunging into film roles with joyous gusto or perfecting the art of the quip as a television panelists and host, Betty White has entertained audiences with her impeccable comic timing and remarkable with for more than 60 years. Her lifelong devotion to the welfare of animals, manifest in her work as an author, producer and philanthropist, is further evidence of her tremendous humanity and meaningful contributions in so many important areas. Screen Actors Guild is honored to celebrate Betty White’s extraordinary achievements over the course of an exemplary life.”

Wise words Mr. Rosenberg and luck Miss Betty.

Ok boys and girls pay attention to what is below; even in her new film Jennifer’s Body where Megan Fox plays a succubus in real life she seems to be more sweet than her man-devourer character Jennifer, sure people tend to forget that actors are different from their characters and that even if she is a superstar (for now) there are ways to win her heart:

Does:
She wants someone “funny and has a good sense of humor. I like someone who has a super gentle spirit and energy. I’m really gentle, and so I like a boy who will treat me that way.”

Don’ts:
“I don’t like boys who are mean to their mommies. That’s a real turn off for me. And I don’t like boys who aren’t chivalrous. To me, not being respectful is a big deal.”

On being nice:
“I was never a bad girl and still not. I challenged authority in school a little bit but nothing like Jennifer. Now I just speak my mind openly. That’s who I am.”

My only question is, If this is real?
