Hollywood Events

It’s the Little Things … (On Hollywood and the Academy Awards)

February 28, 2013 by MC Nugget

NOTE FROM MS. CHEEVIOUS:

You knew the day would come when my beau M.C. Nugget would agree to cook up a blog for MsCheevious!  Considering he is one of the funniest and most clever writers I know, I’m ecstatic!  And so, without further adieu, I give you… The Nugg…

============

Well, greetings ladies and gentlemen and fellow barnyard critters. Mc. Nugget, FKA Fred the Wonder Chicken here, guest blogging.  Apparently Ms. Cheevious’ good writers are all busy.

Well then… How about a little minutia? The proverbial “mole hill,” which I will endeavor to turn into a mountain (cause, it’s the little things)…

Michelle Obama on the Oscars. 

My human counterpart touched on this on Facebook and got quite a response. So now it’s your turn.

Full disclosure; I lean to the left.  This scruffy chicken voted for the big “O” and I think his wife is a great First Lady.  She tries to keep our chubby youth thin, (quite an undertaking), and she represents her office with class.  However……

What were you thinking Academy??  

Really?  Did you not suppose that her appearance might serve to polarize say… HALF your audience?  Yes, Republicans watch the Oscars too (although just for the commercials)!  I mean Hollywood is already known as the Mordor of the left, so why stoke that fire?  There actually are GOP supporters in the entertainment industry, by the way.  I know.  I saw one once. From a distance…. He looked uncomfortable…

Now you’re saying, “what’s the big deal?” “Lighten up.” “Don’t you have anything better to do?” “Take off that stupid hat!” “I’m calling Ms Cheevious to complain!”   Remember today is all about…MINUTIA!

So, where were we? Oh yeah.  See, these days anything that can be construed as political becomes political.  It has nothing to do with intention.  I don’t think the Academy intended to make a political statement but you put the First Lady up on a 70 foot screen in front of the most powerful people in Hollywood, with the Best Picture envelope in her hand, then beam it ‘round the world, it’s gonna’ get some attention.   I know a guy with a fading Romney bumper sticker still on his car, who wasn’t even watching, and he broke out in a cold sweat!  Some of the comments I got on Facebook were none too friendly either… on both sides.
Michelle+Obama+85th+Annual+Academy+Awards+Riwr64YY1I8l

My point, I guess, is that we are a pretty divided country.  People wear their politicians like the jersey of their favorite football team, and get really pissed off when they lose.  (If you’ve ever been to a Raiders game, you know what I’m talking about).   Hollywood, presenting Michelle Obama as some kind of prize that they helped create, (and believe me there are people who think that), doesn’t help that division.  And it’s not what the Academy Awards are about.  I think she stole a little thunder from Argo….. Yeah I know: “Arrrr-go F*#k yourself!”

But here’s the big problem… the BIG question… When did that envelope get TO THE White House? And who peeked??  Come on, you know someone did!  This is the “government” we’re talking about … keeping a “secret.” That’s like oil & water, kids.  If nothing else, do you really think that they’re gonna let some clown get off a plane from LA and hand the First Lady an envelope without checking it for Anthrax?

376228-michelle-obama-85th-academy-awards

Come on!  Someone took a peek inside that envelope, before she got it!  And I wanna’ know if any calls went out from the White House to Vegas an hour before the show!

Just one cynical chicken’s point of view.

My Man, A Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and Replacement Refs

November 5, 2012 by MsCheevious

Admit it. The title grabbed you, didn’t it?  My Man, a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and Replacement Refs? And I’d wager a bet it was the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader that made you click. I prefer to think it was mention of my man that made ya’ click, but since, for all you know, my guy is a big yellow chicken named M.C. Nugget, I’m guessing the latter was the draw. It certainly wasn’t the replacement refs.  And what the heck was that about anyway?  Replacement refs? That was an exercise in futility if there ever was one.

Speaking of which, did anyone see the “Replacements” with Keanu Reeves?  He’s a cutie isn’t he? That movie has absolutely nothing to do with replacement refs, but hey, they could make a film called “The Replacement Refs.” If they cast Keanu I’d watch it. I really would.

Yeah, there’s nothing like good, strong references to sexy pro football cheerleaders, Keanu Reeves and replacement refs to attract both the men and the women to the blog! But let’s get to it, shall we?

The other night, Nuggie and I went to a Halloween party. No, it wasn’t the party at the Playboy Mansion that I talked about in another (shhh) blog. It was a party thrown by some friends at DirtyandThirty.com.  We had a great time at this party.  There were plenty of gorgeous Hollywood types, as usual. The party was held at the new Redbury Hotel, which we’d wanted to check out ever since it opened.  It was refreshing this year to attend a party not totally about sexy, slutty costumes. I’m sure there was crying in the men’s rooms that night as a result, but on the outside, M.C. and all the other guys put on their game faces, patronizing me (and all the other women) by agreeing they were very impressed with the costume creativity of the guests.

Some would say the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader costume is a sexy costume, and granted, this particular cheerleader looked great! But we’ve seen less coverage, and I must admit, though I am all for the eye candy that results from sexy nurses, pirates, belly dancers, etc. it was… NICE!  It felt as if we’d stepped into a Hollywood venue full of creative types or something… Oh wait.

But one of the greatest costumes (at least I thought) were two girls who dressed as the Replacement Refs. I wish I’d thought of it.  They were perfect too.  They had a copy of “Football for Dummies” with them, and were making all kinds of mistake “calls” all night.  It was pretty priceless.

We had fun, we rocked the place, and we got out.

Then we went out for a late night breakfast at another place we love in Hollywood called Kitchen 24. If you don’t live in LA and plan to visit, make a stop there. It’s one of the best late-night dining spots around.

So we played, drank and ate bad food late at night… we truly enjoyed a good ole’ fashioned late night out in Hollywood.  Ahhhhh, just the way I like it.

But now I’m tired. Just remembering the night makes me want to curl up on my feather bed. What has become of me?

Tune in next time for a special guest post from Ms. Marrie Lobel. You remember her. She wrote the fabulous piece about being glad she is a woman, which ROCKED.

Love you people!  Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

My Evening With Moon Unit Zappa

September 25, 2012 by MsCheevious

Moon Unit Zappa was most famous for being the daughter of musician Frank Zappa, and became known in the 1980’s for a song she sang (or rapped?) called “Valley Girl,” from which her infamous “Oh my GAWD… Gag me with a spoon” lyric came.

Way back when I was finishing law school at Pepperdine, I was living in the basement of an adjunct professor of Law from the school who rented to students like myself. The family had a son who was about seventeen or eighteen and seemed to be a really nice kid. I didn’t know him too well, and didn’t really spend much time with the kid, because I was busy doing my own thing.

One night the kid came up to me and said, “Hey! Come with me to this party up in the hills on Friday! It’s suppose to be really cool!” I was a little hesitant, because even though he was a nice kid and all – well, you know – he was just a kid, and I was twenty-three.. an ancient, wise sage, compared to him. We didn’t really “hang out.”

He must have noticed my uncertainty because he said, “We’re going with a friend of mine Moon Zappa… Frank Zappa’s daughter, and we’ll need to pick her up. Come on!”

The second he said “Zappa,” I was in. I had listened to, tried to figure out and cracked up over songs of Frank Zappa’s like “Stink Foot,” “Excentrifugal” and “Dinah-Moe Hum,” and knew it could be a night to remember.

On Friday, the kid, another friend of his and I drove up to Mulholland or someplace up in the hills to the home of Frank Zappa.  We went up to the door and were invited in by a somewhat nice looking lady. We were sitting on the couch and Moon came out to greet us. She must have been all of fifteen. Her younger brother Dweezil was just a little kid and doing his best to annoy us (and succeeding). The same woman who answered the door asked if she could get us anything to drink, while we were all talking, and then left to get drinks.

“Is that your mom?” I asked Moon.

“Oh no. That’s our witch!” she said, matter-of-factly.

“Your witch!” I choke-laughed.

“Oh, she’s a white witch, and she’s totally cool, but yeah… she’s not our mom!” she said cheerily.

(Photo credit: http://www.frankpicturesgallery.com/artists/lynngoldsmith/index.html)

The Zappa’s having an in-house Witch in their employ was weird-ass scary, but I still couldn’t refrain from my next questions…

“Is your dad here? Can we meet him?”

“Oh no… He’s here, but he’s in the studio recording. We can’t really disturb him.” she said.

At that, we said goodbye to the good witch and hit the road to a party in the hills. Though I was probably one of the older people there, I had a great time. We stayed really late, and had a blast sending Moon around the party guessing people’s astrological signs at our bidding.  She’d sworn she could do it and she did prove it to us — at the party, that is… among all her peers.  We were jabbing her about it, insisting she couldn’t really do it if she didn’t know someone. So, later that evening, we went to Mel’s Diner on Sunset for a bite to eat and I finally said, “Look, you aren’t going to convince us unless you pick someone who’s a complete stranger and guess them correctly.”

So, as we walked out of the parking lot, Moon approached an older couple. She very astutely explained the situation to the folks who were put off a bit, at first (I was pleasantly surprised at how astute she was for the fifteen year old that she was), but softened and laughed with her as they answered a few basic questions (like, “What do you do for a living?” etc). And then she did it. She hit the nail on the head with both of them — they were Capricorn and Pisces, if my memory serves.

We were convinced. We piled into the car and drove Ms. Moon Unit Zappa back to her home, which was overseen by the Good Witch of the hills.

And THAT, my friends, concludes the story of My Evening with Moon Unit Zappa.

—

No, my lovely boys and girls… I didn’t go to law school, personally, and I did not, in fact meet or party with Ms. Zappa. But you must admit…. I have some pretty awesome friends with some incredibly great stories, don’t I?

Tune in next time for another one.

Love you people!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!!

A Year in Review From the Mind of The Nugget

February 7, 2012 by MsCheevious

Stick with me for a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of this post!

————————

What can I say?  My beau knows how to entertain.  Yep.  M.C. Nugget isn’t a newbie. He threw this video together with some never-before-seen footage, memories and other clips from 2012.  It’s pretty funny, especially if you’ve been following along all year — though your involvement with me and this blog in the last year isn’t necessary for you to enjoy it.  You’ll get it.

I’ve included it here, for your pleasure.  If you want to see his version, well, it’s on his YouTube Channel.  The version I’m sharing here is very close to his, but includes a brief intro, by MOI.

If you are a newbie to Ms. Cheevious, know this before diving in:  M.C. Nugget is the alias for my boyfriend.  He was previously called Fred the Wonder Chicken, until he decided he wanted a new alias.  Both “Nuggie” and FWC have their own action figures, and yes, they are Chicken action figures (the actual toy Chicken kind, not the “scaredy cat” variety).  Trust me.  You’ll get it when you watch.

Without further adieu.  Watch, laugh and enjoy…

Again, if your browser or email does not display the video above, click here or copy/paste this URL into a browser window: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTH4jG6_0e4&list=UUhKHsXXs7Hy-rA1hi-sz2Uw&index=1&feature=plcp

And Here is My MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

The episode of The Doctors with me and Dr. Lisa Cassileth is set to air on Monday, February 13, 2012! (Check your local listings to know channel and times).  Set your DVRs, VCRs or whatever you need to do, but watch it please!

Then, go to their website www.thedoctorstv.com and let them know how much you loved it!  Will you?

That’s it for now! Enjoy the rest of your week, and DON’T FORGET TO TUNE IN TO MY EPISODE!

Love you people!!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Media Mogul Ms.

January 23, 2012 by MsCheevious

**My apologies to my subscribers for the email you may have received while my crack-team (no.  not my team on crack) of site programmers work out the bugs on a new email format! Now onto today’s post!**

Okay Rupert Murdoch: hopefully you’re not in jail for phone hacking, because I may need your help.

There’s a new media upstart in town and she’s… of all things… using her REAL NAME (cue scare chord, as they say in music/film).

I confess.  She happens to be the creator of this website, the Ms. Cheevious book, the YouTube channel, Twitter, Facebook page and well — ME.  But STILL!  Will she stop at nothing?

I suppose not, because here, this is MY blog, and I’m spreading the word like a pawn in her sinister game of chess.  The goal?  World domination, no doubt.  And, I can’t — re–zist— tell–ing… (grunt) you– about — (moan) — the  —  #%!/  — new — YouTube channel!!!  Whew!!! (Exhausted).

So here it is – her first video on her (read with sarcasm) NEW Channel! Neener neener neener & La-Di-friggin-Dah:

If you can’t see the video box above, click here or copy/paste this link into a browser window: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIuADlcACk4&context=C3528ddeADOEgsToPDskLFoyPePK7v5_9f6ffoEYv3

Go there NOW, would you?  No one can predict what she’ll do to me (or any of us) if you don’t!

I’m told this is a Vlog site – so no shows or comedy.  But if you ask me she’s a real crack pot – I mean – crack up all on her own.

Lemme know what you think you gorgeous men and women!

Love you people!!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
