Before everyone knew who Jimmy Carter is, celebrities had to guess who he was on What’s My Line? How endearing was the 48-year-old in that 1973 episode?
For 33 years, we have been singing Loverboy’s Workin’ for the Weekend the same way now as we have been doing since 1981.
So when the people at the International House of Pancakes decided they needed a song for their new campaign, they called Loverboy and asked for permisson to use it. Not only that, they asked the band to re-record the song with lyrics that fit the campaign. They were like; we used to eat there all the time on the road, so they said yes, but with a little hesitation.
“I was a little nervous about doing a campaign for a restaurant, but it is one of my favorites,” admits Loverboy singer and co-founder Mike Reno told Variety. “Who doesn’t like pancakes, right?”
Not only do they like breakfast restaurant, but they also like reimagining their hit single. “We had a blast doing this,” Dean says. “We bordered on being silly, but that’s fine. It was just a fun thing we didn’t take too seriously. We were all totally in on the joke.”

Ever since the Cocaine Bear trailer hit the internet, Horror movie producers have been copying the concept.
So far, there has been a Cocaine Shark, a Cocaine Cougar, and I am watching Meth Gator on Tubi.
Now, there is Crackcoon, a new animal taking a different drug streaming on Screambox. “When a synthetically-altered street drug is discarded in the woods by a drug dealer during a car chase with police, the fallout proves nothing less than horrific as an innocent raccoon eats it, transforming it into a nightmarish killing machine straight from the bowels of Hell. With unsuspecting campers, tourists, and residents of a mountain community all in close proximity to the epicenter, no one is safe from the monster’s unrelenting rampage.”
John Amos passed away on August 21st from natural causes at the age of 84, according to his son.
KC Amos wrote in a statement, “It is with heartfelt sadness that I share with you that my father has transitioned. He was a man with the kindest heart and a heart of gold… and he was loved the world over. Many fans consider him their TV father. He lived a good life. His legacy will live on in his outstanding works in television and film as an actor. My father loved working as an actor throughout his entire life…. most recently in ‘Suits LA’ playing himself and our documentary about his life journey as an actor, ‘America’s Dad.’ He was my dad, my best friend, and my hero. Thank you for your prayers and support at this time.”
Amos is best known for playing the patriarch, James Evans, on Good Times. The series was a Norman Lear sitcom that captured what it was like for a poor African American family surviving in Chicago during the late ’70s. It tackled the hardships that they went through with humor.
However, when the humor and stereotyping became too much, Amos’ complaints about that led to his time on the show coming to an end. His character’s death made way for one of the most iconic moments on television. His character’s wife didn’t seem to be affected by his death. But at the episode, she broke a punch bowl and screamed out, “Damn! Danm Damn!”
He and Lear remained friends, and Amos starred in his sequel to All in the Family in 1994.
His career started in 1970 and continued through this year. While Good Times is what he will be remembered for most, he had plenty of other roles for us to rmeember in. His breakout role was the sane person in the newsroom on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. He also was seen in Coming to America and the sequel, Roots, The West Wing. and All About the Andersons, to name a few.
Today, scream out, “Damn! Damn! Damn!” so that he can hear our voices as he makes his way up to heaven.
Christian Siriano is one of the rare fashion designers who will dress people of all different shapes and sizes.
However, yesterday on Watch What Happens Live, he told Andy Cohen doesn’t dress the Real Housewives. Then he explained the understandable reason why: “They’re not on my list because, one, they don’t pay. I think that explains their plastic surgery.
I should mention there is one Real Housewife he dresses, and it is Salt Lake City’s Bronwyn Newport. He said that she “has been shopping for years and spends real money and not The Real Housewives money. I mean, I make her literally couture.” And if you watch the show, she wears Siriano originals.
