At the end of 1981, 867-5309 became the most famous phone number in the world. Tommy Tutone claimed those digits belonged to Jenny. But who is she?
Franny Keller has been asking her dad, Jim Keller, that question every year. And every year, he doesn’t tell her. Will this year be different?
Why do we care who Jim names? That is because he co-wrote the song with Alex Call (ironic last name). Not only that, Jim’s alias is Tommy Tutone. So he should know the answer.
When it comes to the answer, Keller has said in past interviews it is based on a real person, but Call has said it is not.
So what is the truth? We will have to wait another year because Keller still isn’t telling his daughter.
Therefore, when we get up to heaven, we are going to have ask who Jenny, Jessie’s Girl, Stacy’s mom, and Roxane are.
Forty years ago today, a little movie came out called Valley Girl. And it created a movement around the country. Girls all over the U.S. started talking like actresses, shopping at malls, and hoping to date a punk like Nicolas Cage or Cameron Dye. It was like totally cool!
And you know what else is also totally cool is that several of the cast, musicians, and crew came out to Mann’s Chinese Theater to celebrate the milestone this week.
Here is come out to watch and talk about their film: Deborah Foreman “Julie”, E.G. Daily “Loryn”, Cameron Dye “Fred”, Heidi Holicker “Stacey”, Colleen Camp, “Sarah”, Lee Purcell “Beth”, Christopher Murphy, “Ralphie”, David Ensor, “Skip”, Joanne Baron “Prom Teacher”, Tony Plana “Low Rider”, Josie Cotton, Performer “Johnnie are you Queer”, “He Could be the One”, David Pahoa, Performer/Bass Player The Plimsouls; “A Million Miles Away”, “The Oldest Story in the World”, and “Everywhere at Once”. Lou Ramirez, Performer/Drummer The Plimsouls; “A Million Miles Away”, “The Oldest Story in the World”, “Everywhere at Once”, Tony Markes “Brad”, Camille Calvet “Allyson”, Gary Myrick, Musician “She Talks in Stereo”, “Time to Win”, and filmmakers Martha Coolidge, Director, Andy Lane, Writer/Producer, Eva Gardos, Editor, Scott Wilk, Music Composer.
Don’t they all look groovy to the max? So like, awesome!
Now, I am going to rewatch the movie and remember why I moved to the Valley when I moved to L.A. Yes, I saw that movie and said I wanted to be Valley Girl. And imagine how disappointed I was when no one talked like they did in the film. It wasn’t until my niece started school that she started talking like one, and I would imitate her. And she would get mad at me for doing so. But I like didn’t care. Because I was so happy to have someone to be all Valley with! Too bad she lost the accent, but I still have it.
It has been over 35 years since we met Ferris Buller (Matthew Broderick) and his friend Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), and audiences of all ages still love watching their day off.
So what makes their movie so magical? Yesterday when Ruck was on The Talk, he shared his theory. “It is about friendship and generosity,” he said. “Cause here’s this guy. You know, he is almost a con man. And he has the whole school wired. He can take the day off and spend it with his gorgeous girlfriend. But who does he call up? His mopey friend, to show him a good time. You know, and pull him out of his shells. So I think that is a large part of it.”
Now that he said that, it all makes sense.
I don’t know about you, but I was always Team Cameron. And I love that he still moves and talks just like his character did. There was something about the way he does that that just attracted me to him. I just wanted to hug him and tell him everything is going to be OK.
However, when it comes to the TV series, I was so Team Ferris!
A couple of months ago, the house that was seen in The Goonies was up for sale, and Behman Zakeri bought it. He obviously bought the house because he is a big fan of the movie.
Sadly, the woman two doors down is not a fan of all of the traffic it brings to the neighborhood, so she made a sign that reads “Goonies Not Welcome.”
Well, the new owner responded with his own sign that says, “Hey you guys! Goonies welcome!”
To make matters worse for the Mama Fratelli, the neighbor in between wrote, “Ignore Karen” with an arrow pointing at her house.
She messed with the wrong people, and that is why Goonies never die.
KGW got a tour of inside the house. To see what it looks like, then click here!
Yesterday, Glenn Caron, who created Moonlighting, tweeted something that got fans of the ’80s detective dramedy super excited. He wrote, “Disney and I have put our heads together and come up with a plan. Big announcement Wednesday!!! #Moonlighting #BruceWillis #CybillShepherd #AllyceBeasley #CurtisArmstrong”
Since Bruce Willis has retired from acting, it doesn’t sound like it will be a sequel. So what could it be? We are only left to guess.
We are not the only ones wondering what is going on, so is Curtis Armstong. Because he wrote, “This is intriguing…🤔” That it is.
What do you think his announcement is? And why isn’t Moonlighting in syndication?
