The last time that Mario Lopez was on The Steve Harvey Show, the ratings spiked when he shook his money maker. Therefore, the daytime talk show host asked the Extra one to put on his boogie shoes and do his best Saturday Night Fever moves and more today on the program. I do not know what the dances were called, but does it really matter? I just like watching him thrust his pelvis in those tight grey slacks. You know how 3OH!3 says “talk with your hips”? Well I am listening to Lopez’s! Aren’t you?
Ever since Lisa Rinna did Days of our Lives the first time, she has had the same short shaggy do. Yesterday, she changed it up on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Julius Michael worked his magic with some extensions and gave her locks past her shoulders. As soon as she was done on the Bravo talk show, out came the fake hair. Which is a shame because it made the 54-year-old look so much younger.
Last year we got a new Chucky movie and this year we are getting the 10th Hellraiser and a 10th Children of the Corn. Proving that good slasher horror movies from the ’80s never die. So why haven’t we gotten new ones for Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. The latter was supposed to go to 13 and they never made it. I want my 13th Jason movie.
But right now, let’s focus on Children of the Corn Runaway. The movie “tells the story of young, pregnant Ruth, who escapes a murderous child cult in a small Midwestern town. She spends the next decade living anonymously in an attempt to spare her son the horrors that she experienced as a child. Ruth and her son end up in a small Oklahoma town, but something is following her. Now, she must confront this evil or lose her child.” How terrifying does it look and sound? I don’t think I will be sleeping for several nights after it comes out on home video on March 13th. Which is sadly not a Friday.
Elton John has been wowing live audiences for almost 50 years and now after half a century he is ready to announce what is next for him. Some are speculating that the 70-year-old is going to announcement his retirement from touring after one more world tour. If that is the case, he has plenty to keep him busy. He is working on a Broadway musical for The Devil Wears Prada, a live-action version of The Lion King (he worked on the animated and Broadway version of it) and the animated film Sherlock Gnomes.
Now my speculation is that in that the video he posted A wrinkle in time. Past meets present, he mentions his first show was at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. I think he is going to announce at 9:30a ET that he will play a huge concert that will be filmed for YouTube. Since that latter is in partnership with the announcement.
If he is announcing his retirement from the road, I say go see him while you can. I have seen him in an auditorium, a converted movie theater and an amphitheater, and every show was amazing. There are a few people that can put on a show like him, so don’t miss it.
If he is retiring, he is the second artist to do it in just as many days. Neil Diamond announced he was done touring on Monday after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
