I just love going to the movies in Hollywood. Especially at the ultra glamorous Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Case in point, this past weekend, yours truly went to see the summer's newest blockbuster X-Men 3: The Last Stand at said movie palace.
Not only did I LOVE seeing this fantastic film in this beautifully restored historic theater, but as a special treat the suped up Harley that Cyclops (played by James Marsden) rode in the film was on display in the world-famous footprint laden forecourt for all to see!
The sexy and extremely stylish "X" branded V-Rod, with its powerful 115bhp Revolution V-twin engine, was not only cool as shit, but it definately made my head turn as I passed it going into the theater.
So if you're an X-Man fan, a Harley lover or both you HAVE to stop by the Chinese and check it out. Hopefully, it'll still be there.
As most of you already know…some good friends of mine (like Jim Verraros in the photo to the left) have been working on the new film Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds, in LA, for the past few weeks.
My buddy James Bobby plays Allan.
Adrian Quinonez plays the smoldering hot Octavio.

Here's a fun little TV ditty I'm sure most of you will remember.
"You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have....The Facts of Life."
You remember this show, right? Of course you do! It was that (not-so-funny) sitcom about four dykes-in-training...a-hem...I mean sweet and innocent school girls (Blair, Joe, Tootie and Natalie) living and working in a cozy dorm with their middle-aged, meddling, warden...I mean...kind caretaker Mrs. Garrett, at an elite all-girl boarding school, in upstate New York.
Doesn't ring a bell? Oh well...I'm sure the moment you hear the catchy theme song it'll all come back to you. Just click HERE and feel free to sing along.
Believe me...even if you don't want to, you'll find it's pretty hard not to.

Actor Joseph R. Gannascoli, who plays the recently-outed “Vito” on HBO’s The Sopranos, is really having a gay old time with his character's newly realized sexuality.
Wondering what fab parties are going on in LA this Memorial Day weekend?
"When there are hot Hollywood parties I can't make, and good gossip to be spread, I know I can count on Mr. Nightlife to take me there and dish the latest. I keep the site on my browser's favorites bar, where it's always just a click away. Now THAT'S entertainment!" - Ben Patrick Johnson

Have you seen the preview for the new Aquaman show yet? No?
Calling all 'Brokeback' fans! Guess what? There's another "cowboy does cowboy" flick coming your way.
That's right...it's called Cowboy Junction and it'll be playing at Laemmle's SUNSET 5 tonight (19th) and Saturday (20th) night at midnight!
How do I know this? Well, I was personally invited to see one of the screenings by the hunky star of the film - James Michael Bobby - himself! We met, this past week, while we were rehearsing for the indie film Eating Out 2.
Not only is he extremely sweet and talented (he had me in stitches during rehearsals), but he's one sexy stud - as you can see in the photo on the left - that could seduce the pants right off you! I wish. LOL
So if you couldn't get enough of Heath and Jake and their cowboy love...then check out my buddy James in this sexy new tale of love on the range ! Yee-haw!

Remember that rather cheesy, British, girl group Bananarama from the 1980's? Yes, the same ones that sang the song Venus.
My buddy Damon, from Naked City, just sent me an alarming e-mail that he received about the girl group Avenue D being assaulted, last night, at The Key Club!"Last night at the Key Club Debbie and Daphnie of Ave. D were assaulted by the bouncers and the venue has not taken any responsibility.I have spent all morning at the West Hollywood police station trying to figure out what exactly happened and to get these ladies released. The girls and I would like your help.If any of you were witness to the events last night or have any information you can pass along, please contact me HERE or at the girls e-mails - debbie@avenued.com or daphned@avenued.com.This is unacceptable and I refuse to let The Key Club get away with this. These girls did a service and entertained a large crowd last night and they do not deserve this behavior.Johnny
I love having friends in the music industry.
Why? Well...they always invite me to go to some out-of-the-way dive bar or abandoned warehouse to check out some new singer or band.
Case in point...I just received an e-mail from my buddy Michael Shane Stephens - who manages a new rock boy-band called Five Minutes To Freedom - and guess what...(insert drumroll here) it's an invite to hear them play at some Hollywood bar. Surprise, surprise.
Here's what it said...
Hey Tony!
The band I manage, FIVE MINUTES TO FREEDOM, from Northern California is playing a show this Friday, May 19th @ the Whisky a Go-Go.
They go on at 9pm sharp - for a 30 min set. You can listen to their music here. Hope you can make! --- Regards,
Michael
Believe it or not...they actually sound pretty good. So I think I'll stop by and check them out.
So take a listen for yourself and hopefully...you'll do the same.
See you there!

As Olympia Dukakis' character, aptly exclaimed, in the hit film Steel Magnolias - "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize."
Well...with this accessory you'll be able to get as animalistic as you like. Enjoy!

"If they seriously said, 'We want to do another one and here's how we're going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes,' I would because I believe we could make it better," Berry revealed during a roundtable interview Friday in New York.
"I think Catwoman is a great character that maybe wasn't presented in the right way," she said, adding, "But when people see it on video they seem to like it. They're like, 'It wasn't as bad as they all said!'"
Halle darling...those "people" were just being nice to you. It was bad, girl. Trust me....no one wants to see you take on that pussy a second time! Except, for maybe Rosie O'Donnell. MEOW!
Recognize the building on the left? Of course you do....it's the Capitol Records building in Hollywood.
Anyway...it seems that the Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee is trying to designate it as a historic landmark (you mean to tell it's not already?) and they need your help.
Here's an except from a letter I received from them today...
It seems as if there is strong support at the city level for this nomination. One would only hope so! Well, nonetheless, it is still necessary to have as much support as possible for the nomination. I would like to ask each one of you to please show your support (by writing a letter to the The Cultural Heritage Commission). One can never know if EMI/ Capitol Inc. may be resistant to such landmarking, and they could make a surprise and aggressive showing at the upcoming hearing if they wanted.
Could you imagine EMI/Capitol coming out against making that spectacular building an official landmark! Only in LA.
Anyway, here are a few fun facts about the building you might not know...
So if you want to help make this a historic landmark send you letters to Jay Oren, Department of City Planning, City Hall 200 N. Spring St. Room 667 Los Angeles, CA 90012 TODAY! Or you can e-mail him by clicking here.
Let's tell those City Hall pencil pushers to get a grip and make one of the most famous buildings in Tinseltown a friggin landmark already!
West Hollywood was all a buzz, last week, as Frontiers Magazine held their big 25th Anniversary bash at The Abbey.Ohhh...if you haven't heard the good news yet....yours truly is the new nightlife columnist for Frontiers Magazine! My first column will be debuting in next weeks issue, so make sure to pick up your copy at your local newsstand!

Meet my buddy Brett Chukerman. Isn't he a hottie? Not only was he recently featured on Tori Spelling's hilarious new VH1 show So NoTORIous, but now he's been cast, as Marc, in the Indie comedy Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds - which is now in production.
As you'll recall...that character was originally played by Desperate Housewives stud muffin Ryan Carnes. However, when it came time to do the sequel...his "people" thought it would be best for him to pass on having a second helping (so to speak). Thus leaving the sexy role open for my good pal, Brett, to step in and gobble it up.
Congrats Brett! I'm sure when the film finally graces the silver screen, we'll just want to eat you up. Wink, wink

I just got home from seeing the new disaster flick Poseidon and I only have one thing to say...the sequence of the ship being struck by a GIGANTIC rogue wave and flipping over is the best part of the entire film. I'm not kidding. The rest is just one nail-biting scene after another. Kurt Russell is just annoying, Emmy Rossum whines throughout the entire thing, and Jimmy Bennett's character (the kid of the film) is SUCH a pain in the ass that I just wanted to scream out "leave him behind...the kid deserves to die!"
I was also annoyed that Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson's character (the ship's singer) was dismissed so early in the film. I would have LOVED to have seen her (and her humps) climbing through the bowels of the ship in her fabulous feathery evening gown.
The women survivors, as a whole, were so friggin unglamorous and boring that everytime one opened her mouth to say something cheesy all I could think of was how MUCH I missed Stella Stevens (and her hilarious wisecrack lines) this time 'round.
In short, the film is WAY too serious for one to really enjoy. Wolfgang, darling, sweetie...where the hell was the comic relief? There's only SO much torture one can endure. I would have enjoyed a good laugh every-so-often just to relieve some of the stress.
Lastly, not one ethnic minority character survives! Except for the (token) Jewish gay guy - played by the wonderful Richard Dreyfuss. The African-American Captain drowns, the Latino waiter falls down an elevator shaft and the Latina stowaway is knocked off shortly there after. Normally, I wouldn't have noticed something like this, but it doesn't take a genius to see that these non-white characters were never going to make it off this sinking ship.
Finally - and I promise this is it - why the hell is Gordon Thompson (the actor who played Adam Carrington on Dynasty) sitting at Richard Dreyfuss' table in the ballroom? And why didn't he have one line of dialogue? Did someone confuse him as an extra? Or was he just hanging out, on the lot, the day they were shooting that scene and the director said "Hey Gordon...why don't you sit next to Richard just for the hell of it." Someone please explain it to me.
As I said before...the best part of this film is the flip over sequence. So unless you see it on an IMAX screen - like I did - I suggest you pass on seeing this extremely depressing film and rent the original instead. It's a lot more fun and Stella's a friggin riot.

The highly-anticipated Wolf Petersen film "Poseidon" had it's big Hollywood premiere, last night, at Grauman's Chinese Theater.
Good news kids! The one-and-only Joan Rivers has a new TV show in the works for Bravo!
The pilot, with the working title of Joan Rivers: Can We Dish? will be a pop culture talk show starring the botox queen herself with a trio of male sidekicks.
Think The View only with the mother of all JAP's and three queens sitting around a table saying bitchy things.
Sounds like a hit to me!

If you haven't seen Norelco's new website for its Bodygroom razor yet, you're missing out on a good laugh.
You see...the razor is designed specifically to help guys who have trouble shaving around their...ummm...carrot, walnuts, and fuzzy peach (their words, not mine) with a nomal razor. Yikes!
So click here and enjoy the clip (so to speak).
Apparently there's no other act in show business like the incomparable Wau Wau Sisters. At least that's what their press release says.

It's amazing how many reality stars I keep running into lately.
For example, last Tuesday, I bumped into Queer Eye For The Straight Girl star Honey Labrador as I walked into Q-TV to film my very first (and unfortunately my last - due to the station letting everyone go because they were unable to meet payroll) entertainment segment. She (surprisingly) remember meeting me at East/West Lounge several months ago. Who would have thought?
Then, later that night, I smacked right into Apprentice star Omorosa as I was walking into the popular Tuesday night soiree - Beige - at The Falcon on Sunset Blvd. She was apparently 45 minutes late for a dinner date and pushed her way past the doorman and velvet ropes. Surprise, surprise.
Finally, on Saturday, it was Project Runway star Nick Verreos' turn to cross my path - while I was waiting on line for the Men's Room at Japhy Grant's (my Editor from Frontiers Magazine) birthday bash. Not only did he almost spill his drink all over my new Gucci loafers, but he and his buddies actually tried to cut in front of me on line!
As you can see...I'm practically tripping over reality stars at ever turn! It's enough to drive somebody nuts.
Oh...my phone's ringing...gottah go. FYI - it's just my buddy Chip, from The Amazing Race, calling to see how everything is going.
See? It never ends. Wink, wink.

Remember the All In The Family spin-off Maude starring a much younger and pre-Golden Girls Beatrice "Bea" Arthur and Rue McClanahan - along with Bill Macy, Esther Rolle, and big titty Adrienne Barbeau?

Being that I'm a HUGE James Bond fan...I have to admit that I had plenty of reservations about Daniel Craig taking over the role of Agent 007 in the new Bond flick - Casino Royale.
But after seeing the newly released teaser trailer, on the films official website, I'm starting to think that Craig might just have what it takes to play the world's most famous superspy.
Take a look for yourself here and let me know what you think.

As most of you already know, I just ADORE anything having to do with old Hollywood.



From Left to Right: Martin Landau, Debbie Reynolds, Peter Ford, Shirley Jones, Johnny Grant, Hugh O'Brien and Jamie Farr with the birthday cake.
Mr. Nightllife escorts Debbie Reynolds down the red carpet.
Happy 90th birthday Glenn Ford!
What the hell is happening with ABC's Commander and Chief?
After making a HUGE splash when it premiered, last fall, the weekly Geena Davis driven drama - about the first woman President - has only three episodes left to air, that will now apparently run over the summer!
Filling the show's Thursday night time slot will be the Diane Sawyer/Charles Gibson newsmagazine show Primetime. Woo hoo...not so much.
So does that mean that the network is about to impeach President Mackenzie Allen (brilliantly played by Davis) and her new White House administration?
If so...it's too bad we can't do the same with the real folks over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Their rating haven't exactly been stellar lately either. ;-0

Think Disco is dead? Think again.
I had a terrific time, yesterday, shooting my very first segment for the QTN Entertainment News Report. If you didn't get a chance to see it, hosts Steve Oldfield, John Carol and I talked about my going to the taping of the Will & Grace series finale and what I saw while I was there.
No, I didn't giveaway too many secrets on the air. However, if you want to read all those juicy secrets just click here.
Anyway....during the show Steve asked viewers to send in their opinion on two fun questions.
1) MI:3 - Do you care?
2) What star do you hate? (for his "Trash Talk" segment)
If you'd like to give him your two cents...just send Steve an e-mail now and hopefully he'll read it on today's show!
Then you too will be on TV...just like yours truly! Well, sort of. Wink, wink.
