Girls Just Want to Have Fun with a Cyndi Lauper action figure |

Gen Xers, Mattel Creations has something for you! A limited-edition WWE Rock N Wrestling Connection 3-Pack with Cyndi Lauper, the late Captain Lou Albano, and the “Rowdy” Roddy Piper for you to play with.
Did you know that back in the mid-’80s, the singer was she bopping in the WWE world? She was. That is why Albano played her father in the Girls Just Want to Have Fun music video.
Teens would sit in front of their TVs and watch that song on MTV. But when it was over, they would have to take out the cassette tape to hear it again. But they could not recreate what they saw with dolls because Barbies were totally lame back then.
That was over 40 years ago. Now, those teens can play with her and the two WWE legends because they are getting their own totally rad Barbie set. How totally tubular is that?
There is a pre-teen who wishes he had dolls like that in 1983. And now, he can. And he can also play with himself. Who is this wrestler? The Rock. However, he might not want to because it is the scariest thing I have seen him as since The Tooth Fairy.
The special edition action figures will be available on July 23rd at San Diego Comic-Con and online.

With a Rebel Yell, I declare The Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame royally screwed up! |
| April 27th, 2025 under Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper, Mariah Carey. [ Comments: none ]

The Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame announced their 2025 Inductees: Phish, Billy Idol, Mariah Carey, Oasis, Sheryl Crow, and Missy Elliott.
I am sorry they were nominated, but who did the idiots in Cleveland (what musician of worth came out of that city) choose to induct? They went with Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, and White Stripes.
I am sorry, but WTF? The people who were not inducted did more for music than the people who are getting honored. Well, minus Cyndi Lauper, her cover of Girls Just Want to Have Fun is an anthem for women. But the rest? I love Joe Cocker’s voice, but he is dead, so he can’t celebrate.
Seriously, that is why the museum is in Cleveland and not a major city. I can say that because I am from The Bronx, the birthplace of Hip Hop! We know music.
Back to the dummies in Cleveland. They didn’t listen to their fans. The fan poll showed that they wanted Phish and Billy Idol, who came 1st and 3rd respectively, and not The White Stripes and Outkast, who came in 11th and 12th respectively.
At least we all agree that Maná did not deserve to be included in the nominations.
There is a reason why many artists hate the RNRHOF, and that includes musicians who are in it.
What do you think of this year’s nominees?

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced this year’s nominees, and Billy Idol is on the list. Who else is on it with him? Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Mariah Carey, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Maná, Oasis, Outkast, Phish, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes are also nominated.
Believe it or not, Mariah has been nominated before but didn’t get in. So, who are this year’s first-time nominees? Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Maná, Outkast, and Phish.
“These remarkable Nominees have each created their own musical style and attitude, impacting generations of music lovers and contributing to the ever-evolving sounds and continued growth of rock & roll”, said John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
And my cousin and I have been talking about who our picks are. He is a Phishhead, and as you can tell, I want Idol. I am also rooting for the late Joe Cocker because his voice does things to me down there! Who on that list do you want to get in?
This year’s honorees will be announced at the end of April, and the Induction Ceremony will take place in Los Angeles in the Fall,

Is Cyndi Lauper really 71? |
| December 23rd, 2024 under Are they really their age?, Cyndi Lauper. [ Comments: none ]

Cyndi Lauper shared a makeup-free video of herself, and her skin is flawless. There is not a single wrinkle on her face. Because of that, I cannot believe the singer is 71 years old because she has the skin of a woman in her 20a.
What is her fountain of youth? It is Laura Geller Beauty.

Cyndi Lauper tries to cleanse Madison Square Garden |

Over the weekend, Donald Trump held a hate rally at Madison Square Garden. And the iconic NYC landmark is tarnished.
But, it is getting a cleanse of happiness and joy from the woman who has been telling us Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Cyndi Lauper did an interpretive dance to spread the love and light in the arena. I can already feel the positive energy taking over all the negativity.
The true colors of MSG are rainbow and white! And the singer restored those colors from the darkness that was spread over the weekend.
