Dearly departed Diane Keaton dead

From the archives: Diane Keaton

(CBS Sunday Morning) Oct 11, 2025: Academy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton, renowned for both comedies like "Annie Hall" and dramas like "The Godfather," died on Oct. 11, 2025, at age 79. In this Nov. 14, 2010 "Sunday Morning" profile, Keaton talked with Katie Couric about her Broadway debut in the musical "Hair"; playing foil to Woody Allen; adopting two children in her 50s; and why she never married. Her mother, Dorothy Deanne (née Keaton), was Mrs. Los Angeles and Mrs. Highland Park, inspiring and encouraging her.

Taylor ‘Nazi Barbie’ Swift drops clues for new Tortured Poets Department album

Who's T-Swift? She's a U.S. royal like Meghan

(TODAY) April 18, 2024: Travis Kelce's lucky charm Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, is set to be released Friday (right at midnight on Thursday night) and speculation continues to grow over music industry public relations and marketing department clues for lyrics, song titles, and the album’s first music video. An alleged leak of the new project prompted many Swifties to ask fellow fans not to disrespect her work by being greedy but to instead wait for the official release so Taylor can make the most money and control her own narrative and corporate branding. NBC’s Emilie Ikeda reports for TODAY. #TaylorSwift #Music

Are you serious, Mom? I prefer Olivia's music.

For lesbians, mother-daughter incest survivors, and women with dogs who hump their leg, the Swift Corporation is putting out a new album in vinyl to make a killing at Target or Walmart or some big box retailer with a lucrative exclusive contract.

Buy the store version and get extra tracks of "Nazi Barbie" passing wind, burping, struggling like only tortured poets struggle (to come up with AI-quality songs for the masses) with just a touch of narcissism, juvenile pettiness, self-aggrandizing "Ah shucks, I'm just a country girl and pro-LGBTQIA+ Biden-voting, Christian on the right side of history," and a je ne sais quoi, or maybe an "oh 🙄 brother" factor.

Swift, Inc.: I sell sex to underage kids like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Madonna before me.

.

Seacrest's so excited he sent Sisanie to promote it

But for dyed in the polyester fans, tune in to Los Angeles' "Swift FM" (KISS 102.7 FM) right at midnight tonight to hear cuts from the album curated by Miss TrayLor herself, Taylor Swift. It will be replayed tomorrow and then for the rest of our lives like a bad Madonna or Milquetoast release. Never has so much been done by so many for so little.

I'm still a child at head. I never grew up.

Song 1, "Fortnight," features Post Malone to help her sell the Lana Del Rey sound-rip off. As the first track, it should be the first single on the record. Is that how it works? Or will it be Post Malone's fans wanting to see what he did (which ain't much) that'll drive sales? "It's very fatalistic," Taylor claims, because it's about fatalism (the anti-karma idea that everything that happens is fixed in advance by fate).

Song 2, "Tortured Poet's Department," is the same gaar-bahge, complaining, talking about things a highschooler would be getting over by graduation at the latest. Are any college coeds aware of her? They like Miley Cyrus, but Swift seems like it's composed by AI for children, nothing much catchy about it like that "sick fat beat" song.

Song 3 is a metaphor, whining about relationships. She's a one trick pony going on about denial and toxicity: "My Boy Only Breaks His Toys." This song is more promising, with a "whoa whoa whoa" refrain and a new drum machine setting, some inflection in the singing, lacking emotional depth or a hook but good confection, instantly forgettable. Eight-year-olds are bound to like it.

Song 4, "Down Bad," is another metaphor, about alien abduction from the time she was "love bombed" by a narcissist then dumped. She's crying, talking about being a suicidal teen too depressed to get out of bed if the ETs won't come back for her. She sure must've gotten her heart broken a lot to whine about it song after song. Female country music singers must hate her. "What if I was in love?" she asks and has no one to tell her to use the subjunctive: "What if I were in love?" She dumbs it down for the kids and the Heartland maybe?

Song 5, "So Long London," is a dreamy kind of Lana Del Rey tremolo talker. Who taught her rhyme? Teach her more. Rhyming couplets of pining, longing, yearning, and being pathetic and clingy but indignant and hot and I will survive, it's a tragedy. Are Lana's attorney's tuned in? This song seems actionable. Big artists have gotten in trouble for less. How hard can it be to write one catchy tune?

Song 6, "But Daddy I Love Him," a string of facile rhymes, end of the world love lost with some emotion but "precocious" "tendrils"? It's like how Shakira had her thesaurus out to help her translate from Spanish to English for Laundry Service. What's Tay Tay's excuse? There are ten more of these junk heap discards pulled out, dusted off, and assembled into "sanctimonious" "soliloquies"? This is the least bad one so far.

Song 7, "Fresh Out the Slammer," is a metaphor of being in jail or prison and getting out to run to a sweetheart with more lameitude in rhyme, as if she finds herself clever and listening to so much Lana that she's drenched in the talent of a single-minded vision and not getting it in any dimension but one, superficial.

Song 8, "Florida," featuring Florence and the Machine, about reinventing herself after heartbreak (again). Where would anyone go to blend in and reinvent oneself? America's dangling participle peeing in the Gulf, right, T-Swift? Florence adds some verve at least and so meta. "Is that a bad thing to say in a song?" "Florida is one hell of a drug," and we drink -- and here the rhyming problem comes up again (yet again), just taking a bunch of rhyming words and say them close to each other like a rapper in the flow just pulling anything in to fill space. Short and sweet. If Lana doesn't sue, this is a good one. Taylor has found the secret, feature Ice Spice, Florence, Post Malone, or anyone to extend her range.

The craze behind tall blonde beauty | Harvard lecture, $64 bil in concert revenue | All About Taylor Swift

(LASSI Studio) March 1, 2024: A lecture called "Taylor Swift and Her World" opened at Harvard. Taylor's concerts generated a $63.5 billion economic impact, also known as "Swiftonomics." She has won the Grammy for Album of the Year three times. This is a video on the ultimate [AI] songstress.

Song 9, "Guilty As Sin," is about crying, whining about a boy, using big words ("paradox"), and having no success in relationships. Is this causing all the bad relationships in the country, or are there so many bad relationships that Taylor is "the voice of an unhappy generation"?

Song 10, "Just Hold Me" (?), a sad song asking, "Who's afraid of little old me? You should be!" The way she makes everything so obvious an pat, the name of this song must be "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" because she repeats, so emo and slightly goth with imagery of death, drugs, and depression. There's something here; I can see how this one could be included in 1980s flashbacks or retro emo song lists with what sounds like a live drummer.

Song 11, "I Can Fix Him, No Really I Can," more complaining about a man she loves ("He's my man... I can fix him, no, really, I can.") This is Lana gone West, a real song, a rip off. Does no one else listen to enough Lana to see it? How could the Eras Tour stand having three hours of this pissant urine?

Song 12, "LMNL" (?), more complaining about a bad man she loves against her will, and she adores him, and she criticizes him, and oy vey, does she never stop complaining? This is cr*p, but kids love cr*p, so it will be interesting which of her masterpieces the focus groups will tell the corporate stations to put on rotation and overplay.

Song 13, "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," almost danceable at the crying party, when we go to comfort Patty who got dumped by Brad. "You're better than him, Patty! Get out of bed and shake him off. C'mon let's go dance and celebrate our broken hearts. It's all a test. You're a tough kid." Wow, it's Sweet Valley High for every song, the weak sauce, celebrating the miserable. At least it's almost over.

Song 14, "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," about a Jehovah Witness suit wearing guy who tries to buy some pills from her drug dealing friends, complaining and complaining, calling a man small, with venom and anger become more depression and resentment. This song is dangerous because it's really a crying complaint...

Song 15, "The Alchemy," is about a boy she is not happy with and is telling him she'll get over him and recover and be better than ever for the bad experience. Whew, what a slog. Were there 100 songs like this, and these are the winners? One has to feel what one sings for the singing to sound good. So does she feel this way all the time, year after year, track after track, or is it an act and what the fans want? It's odd to see someone with such a fixation. When Lana does it, singing about dark love all the time, she finds a way to make it interesting. Hooray, it's over, just one more to go:

Song 16, "Clara Beau," is about a girl she's comparing herself to, a remarkable Clara Beau, bringing back themes of dazzling, sparking, rusting as a kind of theme, shining, eclipsing, dying, exaggerating, New York and a small town girl. Taylor in the big city. "You look like Taylor Swift in this life," she says. Could that be right? She's so full of herself that Clara Beau is Tailor Slow? It's SO deep. What was the two theme all the buildup hinted at? We'll leave that to the kiddies on TikTok to figure that out. Is this the world we've come to, violent Kelce with fainting waif Taylor, American royalty? Bleh. 🤢🤮

The first song to be played following all of the others is "Florida" (feat. Florence) and some interesting kind of drumming or bass tapping. Yes, this is one of the better ones with its big bang drumming and Lana theme.

Valerie Bertinelli-Van Halen live, LA (4/15)

Look, Donny and Marie did it. So why can't we? - That's different! They were Mormons.

Look, Everyone! I'm a "cover girl" now!

Valerie Bertinelli-Van Halen isn’t one to hold her feelings close to the vest. The “One Day at a Time” TV star believes in the power of connection — connecting with fans to help her heal.

[After all, she lost her rockstar husband, the world-renowned guitarist Eddie Van Halen (shown above shredding on guitar), RIP, with whom she fathered and raised Wolfgang Van Halen].

Incest laws won't stop us (pagesix)

She is doing that through Indulge: Delicious and Decadent Dishes to Enjoy and Share, her cookbook. The New York Times bestselling author’s new book is a collection of 100 recipes to “nourish the body and the soul.”

She shares recipes for dishes like garlic confit LT, oven-“fried” okra, mangled animal guts in casing, and olive rotten dairy bites, spaghetti al limone, smelly patties with quick-pickled vegetables, cow limbs with bearnaise sauce, and chocolate peanut butter dates.

Twins? Inside Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli's '80s romance (pagesix.com)

It's probably safe to say Valerie taught Eddie everything he knew about everything except guitar.

.

Eddie? Eddie who? (No you didn't, Dave!)

“It’s mainly a cookbook, but an extension of Enough Already,” Bertinelli said of her 2023 book. “I wrote that after my mother and Ed (Eddie Van Halen) died. They passed away a year and a half apart. I was going through a lot of grief and going through a marriage that wasn’t working. I was going through a lot.”

She said she didn’t love anything with her life. She felt like she was “drowning and had forgotten how to swim.”

Then, being Italian, she returned to the kitchen little by little. “I started writing recipes, and I started to get excited,” she said. “I was talking about food the way I had never talked about before.”

She’ll talk about her latest feeble attempt at fame as a chef and her struggles on a book tour that stops at All Saints Church in Pasadena at 7:00 pm Monday, April 15, 2024.

The Vroman’s-sponsored event is ticketed (minimum $41 with book). “This is the biggest book tour I’ve ever done,” she said.

“I can’t wait to meet everybody. Since my last book, I’ve had a great rapport with a lot of people in my social media community. I have really terrific people who follow me on Instagram and Threads.” More

Traylor Swift: Tix prices, Trump loss, football

MSNBC, Sept. 27, 2023; CC Liu, Ashley Wells, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(MSNBC) From football to feminism, Taylor "Nazi Barbie" Swift (who is melding with football player Travis Kelce to become "Traylor") continues to build on her brand and reach.

Who is this "Trailer"? Trash! Fake singer!

Swift’s “Eras[e Minds]” tour is projected to generate a $5 billion impact on the American economy. Swift also backed Joe "Sorry Hillary Couldn't Make It" Biden in 2020 and encouraged fans to register to vote [which is never good for Republicans, whose success depends on as few people voting as possible].

Facing that influence, some GOP ("Grand Old Party" Republican) pundits are trying to knock Swift and the excitement over her NFL appearance.

Buddha as backdrop for sexy song (video)

Haley Bennett; Amber Larson, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly COMMENTARY

Haley Bennett as the character Cora, singing "Buddha's Delight" (photoshoot/hotactress.org)

I think I'm more beautiful. I certainly have more followers and views. I'm famous AF.

Not the Buddha: Tibetan yogi

Now that Nazi Barbie (Taylor Swift) has gotten so popular that even Margot Robbie envies her, and Beyonce gets more attention when she lightens her Becky-do hairdo, it's time to wonder if Haley Bennett -- who severely upstaged uncomfortable Drew Barrymore and old man (and former British heartthrob) Hugh Grant -- really could have had a legitimate hit on her hands.

The Monkees weren't a real band, but they did have real hits. A good song's a good song, like "Buddha's Delight."

Hollywood already had its go with Keanu Reeves

It wouldn't be the first time Hollywood did something right. They present an image, and that image gains more currency than the real thing. Just look at hate Californian governor and turncoat Ronnie Reagan. Image carries more weight than substance does. Haley Bennett was beautiful back then, and the ditty was catchy. As if "Buddha Bars" weren't bad enough, can anyone prevent the exploitation of beautiful Buddha statues as elements in pop culture.

Gwyneth Paltrow in court: ski crash trial

Gwyneth Paltrow faces lawsuit over ski crash

(TODAY) March 21, 2023. Gwyneth Paltrow is expected to take the stand in a Utah courthouse, defending herself against accusations of severely injuring a doctor in a 2016 ski accident. NBC’s Kaylee Hartung reports for TODAY. #skiing #celebrity #lawsuit

Gwyneth Paltrow appears in court over ski crash

(Inside Edition) March 21, 2023. Hollywood actor and infamous "conscious uncoupling" divorcee from the singer of Coldplay Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in court with security by her side for a ski collision [she caused] at a resort.

She is facing Dr. Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist, who claims she plowed into him on a ski slope, leaving him with four broken ribs and permanent brain damage (PBI).

[He was suing for $3.1 million but was forced by the judge to lower that amount to $300,000 as the limit in this case.] The collision happened in February 2016 on a beginner's ski trail at a ritzy resort in Park City, Utah.

During opening statements, Ms. Paltrow's lawyer says Dr. Sanderson was the one who crashed into her. [Gwynnie is countersuing Dr. Sanderson for $1, yes, one US dollar, oh, plus all legal fees.]

Sadhguru cycles to Lakota country, USA (video)

Sadhguru, 9/26/20, 11/3/20; Dr. Todd Grande; Seth Auberon, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Lakota nation chief warmly welcomes Sadhguru and honors him with a gift of sacred feathers

(Life At Isha) BEAR BUTTE, South Dakota - Sadhguru (aka Jaggi Vasudev), during his early days of exploring Native America, visited Bear Butte, the Black Hills where he met Chief Izzy Black Spotted Horse of the Lakota Nation. The Lakota chief warmly welcomed Sadhguru and honored him with a gift of sacred feathers.

(Sadhguru) Sadhguru (who some may consider a baloney cannon, phony, chicken slaughterer, while others hold him up as a modern "mystic" and "true guru") explains the uniqueness of Native American spirituality. He helped saintly footballer Tom Brady and the devil Gordon Ramsay (Hell's Kitchen) calm down, so he must be doing at least one thing right.

I like Guru Jaggi. He helped me eat veg.

Sadhguru answers a question from Dr. Kiran Bedi about the difference between Indian spirituality and Native American spirituality. 

Yogi, [phony?], mystic, and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, [or a heart-saddening mix of BS and hot air, generic woo-woo charlatan full of platitudes], his life and work serves as a reminder that yoga is a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times. #Sadhguru
