The White House asked the Guggenheim to borrow Vincent van Gogh’s Landscape with Snow for the president and first lady’s private living quarters and they kindly offered something else from the museum instead. Since they could not go #1, they were hoping he would go for #2.
According to The Washington Post, the curator, Nancy Spector, offered him their art piece called America. Sounds fitting for 1600 Pennsylvania, but it is more appropriate for his Manhattan penthouse. What is it? A fully functioning 18-karat solid gold toilet. We have heard that he likes golden showers, so this the next best thing. Right?
Personally, I do not know why they did not give him a copy of the painting. Afterall it is rumored that he has a copy of another famous painting in his Manhattan apartment that he claims is real.
One more thing, while on paper the request seems extremely absurd, the newspaper says that it is not unprecedented for presidents to borrow major artwork. Which sounds crazy, but hey if you are the president of the United States it does not hurt to ask. Unless you are Donald Trump, then it does.
Before Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel were on the covers of fashion magazine, they were buried between the pages of one for a Limited Too print ad. Even though they were not front or center in that photo, the fresh-faced teens were the stars of that mid-1990’s ad.
Even though ABC announced in May that they picked up a Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, they never gave the show a name. Well after 8 months, it finally has a title and it is…Station 19. They should have spent a little longer to come up with a better one about Seattle’s first responders because this one sucks almost as much as the show that debuts on March 22nd.
Patricia Heaton shared a photo of herself giving the thumbs up even though she is sitting in a hospital room wearing a surgical mask over her mouth, a brace on her leg and supporting herself with crutches. Then she said, “Thanks to Nurse Anne and all the good doctors and technicians at #ProvidenceStJosephsHospitalBurbank – the best!!!”
While it does not look that good, it is not that bad. A source told me that she suffered a slight sprain and is already back at work on the set of The Middle today. That is why actors always say, “The show must go on,” because they mean it.
Feel better Patricia. You know Patty, when they say, “break a leg,” they don’t mean yours.
