A brief history … Back in 1995, Pamela Anderson married Tommy Lee four days
after they met; that marriage ended in 1998. That same year, she became engaged to Swedish
model, Marcus Schenkenberg, but they never reached the altar, and their relationship
ended in 2001. In 2006, Pammy married and divorced Kid Rock. In 2007, she married
producer Rick Salomon and then had the marriage annulled
in 2008. In 2013 or 2014, Pammy again married Salomon and then
divorced him in 2015. In 2020 Pammy “married” movie mogul Jon Peters and
that union ended after twelve days. To be fair, it was not considered legal
since they never finalized their marriage certificate. And now she’s done it again … on Christmas Eve, Pammy
married her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, marking her sixth marriage and fifth
husband if you count Jon Peters–-which Pammy does not. Two marriages in one year. That’s our Pammy. |

Alec Baldwin has quit Twitter and Twitter has heaved a huge
sigh of relief. And all because Twitter came for his wife, the formerly
Spanish-born and bred and raised Hilaria, er, Hillary, and that’s just not
fair. Alec said Twitter is like being a party where everyone is
screaming and that it’s just not fun anymore. Funny that, because it’s usually Alec doing the screaming …
at people on the streets … at paparazzi … at his own child. Bye Alec. But could you take Hilaria, er, Hillary with you? |

He is no longer a Husband-In-My-Head, but the Armie Hammer
ickiness doesn’t seem to be ending, and
so here we are … Hammer, who has claimed he’s ‘100% a cannibal’ in Instagram
messages to women, has been accused by Paige Lorenze, a second
ex-girlfriend of carving the letter ‘A’ into her skin of her nether
region, and then licking the blood from the wound. Paige even shared a photo of
her ‘A is for Armie’ scar, but I ain’t sharin’ that shiz. But it’s even worse, according to Lorenze. She says Hammer is an out-of-control narcissistic sexual deviant who seemed fixated on biting her body, begging that she allow him to take lumps of flesh from her arm, before consuming them. She says Armie would tie her up, hit her with paddles and a series of painful sexual moves that left her covered in bruises. Now, for Armie’s side, or at least his side as told through
his lawyer: “These assertions about Mr. Hammer are patently untrue. Any interactions with this person, or any partner of his, were completely consensual in that they were fully discussed, agreed upon, and mutually participatory, the stories being perpetuated in the media are a misguided attempt to present a one-sided narrative with the goal of tarnishing Mr. Hammer’s reputation, and communications from the individuals involved prove that.” Huh. It doesn’t seem to say the story isn’t true, it just
seems to say the rough sex, the mutilation and the blood drinking were
consensual. Sorry Armie, ain’t buying it. |

Oh Demi, what have you done now? The 58-year-old former actress and model hit the runway as
part of Fendi’s
Spring-Summer 2021 collection during Fashion Week in Paris, France.
She modeled a look from British designer Kim Jones, in his first ever
Couture Collection for Fendi. And it appears she unveiled a new face? Now, to be fair, I cannot tell if it’s make-up, or maybe
Botox, spackle and fillers, or one of
those Terry Gilliam's Brazil plastic surgeries, but 2020 Demi looks startling
different than 2010 Demi. Scary, even. |

Cindy McCain, on being censured by the Arizona GOP for
her support of Joe Biden and marriage equality: “I’m not surprised by the continuous insults and personal
attacks from Arizona GOP Chairman Kelli Ward. She’s shown how attacking
Republicans like me can impact elections—her involvement in both Senate
elections to replace Jeff Flake and my husband John McCain, two regular targets
of her personal attacks, resulted in Democrat wins. As Chairman of the AZGOP
she managed to turn Arizona blue in November for the first time since 1996.
Maybe she should be reminded that my husband never lost an Arizona election
since his first win in 1982; he and Governor (Doug) Ducey are the last two
Republicans to win statewide races in Arizona. Now Ward sides with Congressmen
(Paul) Gosar and (Andy) Biggs on supporting the mob of angry Trump extremists
who attacked our Capitol, disrupted our constitutional elections process and
threatened our Democracy.” Um, it looks like you shouldn’t come for Cindy unless she
sends for you. |

David Hogg, Parkland survivor and gun control activist,
on that video that surfaced this week of Representative, and QAnon nutbag, .
Marjorie Taylor Greene stalking him on the streets of Washington D.C. and
telling him she has “a concealed carry permit “and carries a gun: “What I always says to myself is, ‘if they shoot me they
prove my point.’ The reality is they can’t kill a movement. It’s funny when
they say we’re paid off. There’s no amount of money you could ever pay us to do
this work because it’s not why we do it. None of us want to be doing this, but
we have to, because sadly, corrupted elected officials like Marjorie Taylor
Greene are in Congress and would rather choose to protect guns than children.
It’s just a horrific reality.” Hogg appeared on CNN last night and urged people to Text
Resign to 954954 to add your name to a petition to have Greene removed from
office. It’s legit. |

Nikki Haley, former UN Ambassador, who once rightly
said the former present is the worst thing that could happen to America now
wants us to leave him alone after he incited a violent mob to attack the
Capitol: “Does he deserve to be impeached? Absolutely not. .. They’re
trying to just kick him out the door. … I don’t even think there’s a basis for
impeachment. The idea that they’re even bringing this up. They didn’t even have
a hearing in the House. Now they’re going to turn around and bring about
impeachment yet they say they’re for unity… I mean, they beat him up before he
got into office. They’re beating him up after he leaves office. I mean at some
point I mean give the man a break. I mean move on … ” Give the man a break? He incited a riot that attacked our
Democracy because he was butt-hurt he’s a loser? I still remember South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley saying that the former president would be the worst thing to happen to this country and now she carries his water. Off is the direction Nikki Haley should fuck. |

Jimmy Gomez, California Democratic Representative, on
introducing a resolution to expel QAnon nutbag Marjorie Taylor Greene from
Congress: “As if it weren’t enough to amplify conspiracy theories that
the September 11 attacks
were an inside job and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School was staged, a string of recent media reports has now confirmed that
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had previously supported social media
posts calling for political violence against the Speaker of the House, members
of Congress, and former President Barack Obama. Such advocacy for extremism and
sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits
strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected
officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in
mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our
country, that I call on my House colleagues to support my resolution to
immediately remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from this legislative
body.” Sadly, I don’t think the GOP will ever condemn someone like
this lunatic, again, out of fear of retribution. They’d rather the country fall
into the hands of these tools than grow a pair of balls and stand up for what’s
right. Still, good on Jimmy Gomez for leading the charge. |

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Representative, on the GOP in the wake of
the last occupant of the White House, and the party’s refusal to condemn—and
instead, embrace—the violent right-wing QAnon and MAGAt forces: “There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for
violence. No consequences for racism. No consequences for misogyny. No
consequences for insurrection. And no consequences means that they condone it.
It means that that silence is acceptance. Far from distancing themselves from
the most extreme elements of [his] base now that he’s out of power,
Republicans are still attempting to wield those violent and racist forces for
political gain.” Again, they’re looking out for their cushy jobs and not the
country and the traitors within their own party who fed the fires that attacked
the Capitol. Which is why … Vote Blue, No Matter Who. |
 |
Mitt Romney, on the Republicans who say an
impeachment trial would further divide the country: “I say, first of all, have you gone out publicly and said that there was not widespread
voter fraud and that Joe Biden is the legitimate President of the United
States? If you said that, then I’m happy to listen to you talk about other
things that might inflame anger and divisiveness.” It’s funny the GOP sees impeachment as divisive but don’t
see insurrection the same way. It’s because they are also terrified of getting
primaried by the one-term twice impeached loser that they will not stand up for
America. And that’s the divide. |

I am a terrible person to buy gifts for because I really don’t
want anything and when I need something, I get it myself. So, as my birthday approached—sidenote:
thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday—I told him I’d give him a clue, and
here it is:
Cut to yesterday and there’s a gift on the table—a book—and I
open it up to find that it was ‘Trust’ by Pete Buttigieg. I said to Carlos:
I said, again:
We went out for the day and stopped in at Book on Broad
where he ordered the book. But. As he asked the shop owner about the book, I
heard him say Chasten Buttigieg, and the shop owner said: “Yes, I have it: ‘Trust.’ By Pete Buttigieg.” So, it really wasn’t his bad, it was hers. Luckily, he, um, straightened
her out. |

Tuxedo is growing ever more annoyed by Republicans who think

Traitor insurrectionist, and North Texas realtor, Jenna
Ryan, the Private Jet Terrorist, has been kicked off PayPal for attempting to
solicit donations for “legal fees and losses.” Ryan, who was
arrested last week, asked her Twitter followers to help her pay her attorney’s
fees: “I am accepting donations to pay legal fees and losses due to my arrest and charges by the FBI.” Well, no, honey, it’s due to your being
an ignorant fool who thought you could take over the nation’s capitol. Ryan had
raised just $1,000 when PayPal shut her down. Oh, sorry. Not sorry. |

Dr. Deborah Birx, the last administration’s coordinator
of the Coronavirus Task Force is now saying that she disagreed often with the
administration and their response to the virus even though she never said one
single word until now. When asked what her biggest mistake was during her time in
the last administration, she wishes she’d been “more outspoken,” especially on
the issue of COVID testing and drinking bleach and shining flashlights up our
asses. Too late, doc, you and your scarves are complicit. Now, go away. |

Color me surprised but asshat FauxChristian Franklin Graham is standing up for bigot and homophobe, Aussie
tennis legend, Margaret Court. One of the world’s greatest women’s
tennis players, Court will receive the Companion in the General Division of the Order of
Australia (AC), the highest category of honor awarded as part of Australia Day. This is the same woman who has maintained that being gay is the work
"of the devil" and has also compared it to Hitler. And so, these
FauxChristians, who spew hate stick together; one getting as national honor,
and one propping her up. They can both fuck all the way off. God is watching and she
is not happy. |

At the same time, however, up here in America, President
Biden signed an executive order overturning the former administration’s ban on
transgender Americans serving in the military. The ban, which
allowed the military to bar openly transgender recruits and discharge people
for not living as their sex assigned at birth, affected up to 15,000 service
members. Biden said that the last thing America
needs is to deny any American their right to serve their country. It is a new day. |

The great Cloris Leachman passed away this week at the age
of 94. A brilliant actress and comedian and human being, she was feisty and
outspoken and just plain fabulous. From The Last Picture Show through
the Mary Tyler Moore Shoe and on into Young Frankenstein and
beyond, she was brilliant. RIP And thank you. |

Republican Senator Rob Portman announced that he will not
seek a third term in 2022. He blames his decision on the schism in the GOP
between the old guard Republicans and the MAGAts and Proud Boy and QAnon of today. Portman will be around, however, to vote on the impeachment
of the last president and has said that “as a juror, I’m going to listen to
both sides. That’s my job.” Portman is one of the few in the GOP to blame the last
president for the Capitol riot. |

It was just a couple of years ago that North Carolina was at
the center of one of those Bathroom Ban initiatives, to deny trans people the
right to use the bathroom of the gender with which they identify. But that was
then … when the GOP ruled the state, and this is now, with Democrats in the
statehouse. But now, three North Carolina municipalities—Hillsborough,
Carrboro and Chapel Hill—have passed ordinances protecting the LGBTQ+ community
from discrimination. These new non-discrimination ordinances are the first in
the state since a provision, put in place by the GOP in 2016, in a state
law barring such measures expired in December. And now, four years later, Republican Senate Leader Phil
Berger, says the party won’t do a thing about the new ordinances because, ahem,
he and his party have more important items on their mind. Or maybe they realize anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry is on the way out
in North Carolina. |

Add Google to the growing list of companies will not make
contributions from its PAC during this election cycle for any member of
Congress who voted against certifying the results of the presidential election,
following the deadly Capitol riot. Microsoft has paused its PAC contributions
as well. It will decide by February 15, after soliciting employee feedback,
about whether to continue stopping donations to members of Congress who voted
against certifying the election results. Good. |

Saverio Pescucci, a self-described “super chill, friendly, gay, Covid responsible” New York City ballet dancer is going viral after posting a thirsty apartment search ad in a popular Facebook group.  As part of his Brooklyn or Manhattan room search, Pescucci posted on the 284,800-member Gypsy Housing group on Facebook, and included a handful of photos of himself, in all his sexy glory, to spur interest. His post, naturally, went viral, with almost 1,000 likes and more than 400 comments.  And, Pescucci has found a room to rent, though, sadly, it’s not the one he was offered here in South Carolina. Just sayin’. |

It’s my birthday and if y’all are still searching for the perfect gift, might I suggest the Mirrabooka House in New South Wales, Australia. And, as y’all know, I do love a Frank Lloyd Wright house, and this one, designed by renowned Australian 20th century architect, and student of FLW, Bruce Rickard, is in that same Prairie Style. The Mirrabooka House, built in the 1960s, sits on five acres of gardens filled with rare, exotic and native plants, abundant birdlife, with expansive views to the Blue Mountains. Rickard designed and built the home, and actually lived on the site for 18 months, using trademark materials like Sydney sandstone, Australian timbers, copper, concrete and the extensive use of glass. Immaculately maintained through the year, Mirrabooka and 1.75 acres of the surrounding garden have been honored with NSW State Heritage listing. The visitor arrives at the front door via a series of steppingstones over a Koi pond, just past a waterfall and through a Japanese garden. Inside is an expansive open plan, with wooden accents, a stone fireplace and clerestory windows to the garden. A skylight above the fireplace casts sunlight onto the stacked stone fireplace. A raised dining area is located to the right, while a playroom and the kitchen are both accessible on the left. The expansive living room extends to a sitting area. Three walls of windows and sliding glass doors provide views of the backyard pool and patio. Glass doors connect the living spaces to a huge, cantilevered balcony which provides views over the gardens, spectacular sunsets and endless entertaining options. Paved areas of the terrace surround a large saltwater pool and adjoining lush gardens. Since just 1.75 acres of the property are part of the State Heritage listing, the remaining 3.23 acres, including two small dams and a natural spring, so there is the potential for future rezoning and development. Mirrabooka appeals to fans of mid-century architecture, FLW homes, bird lovers, plant lovers and those wanting to escape the city and work from home in tranquil surroundings. And, as I mentioned above, it’s my birthday and for the first time since it was built, it is on the market for a mere $4.2 million.             Click to emBIGGERate.  |
