I’m only posting this because:
1. I went to Syracuse University, so, “Go Orange!”
2. It’s never too early to start thinking on a new swim suit for pool season.
3. Oh, do I really need a reason…?
Go Orange!
Postmodern Jukebox Covers “Mad World” Vaudeville Style W/ Puddles Pity Party & Haley Reinhart
New collaboration from Postmodern Jukebox featuring Puddles Pity Party and Haley Reinhart – a “vintage vaudeville” cover of Tears For Fears’ “Mad World.”
Via Billboard:
“This remake came together quite quickly; Puddles stopped by unannounced, in typical Puddles fashion (he also surprised us at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago just recently!),” Bradlee wrote on his website. So I decided to give Haley a call to see if she was around to stop by, perhaps while wearing a fun hat!”
Bradlee said the difference in height made for a fun juxtaposition in the tradition of old vaudeville, as Puddles–the gloomy one — begins the song as a dirge and the bubbly Reinhart joins in to liven things up.
“I chose “Mad World” because it’s simply one of the darkest, gloomiest songs to ever become a hit,” said Postmodern Jukebox leader Scott Bradlee.
Great voices and personas here. Imminently watchable.

Christmas Music: Kylie Minogue “Every Day’s Like Christmas” Remixed
Check this bright and shiny new remix of Kylie Minogue’s new “Every Day’s Like Christmas” (from her new album Kylie Christmas) by Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman.
This marks the first mix in decades that reunites Kylie with the legendary producers that she worked with at the very start of her career.
Watch for Kylie’s Christmas concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall on December 11th – her first ever headline show at the prestigious venue. The show will be filmed for TV.
Merry merry!
Tip: Reheating Cold Pizza
Let’s face it – microwaving cold pizza stinks.
Slate offers some life-changing (ok, maybe not “life-changing”) video shortcuts on their site.
Today, learn a better way to warm up last night’s pizza.
Masterclass: Kevin Spacey
As a former actor, I’d have been fascinated to take an acting class from Kevin Spacey. Now, you can. At least, virtually…
A website called Master Class will offer over five hours of videos chronicling Spacey teaching young actors; approximately 29 lessons.
The course arrives online in the spring, and you can be a part of it for the low price of $90.
Kevin Spacey asks you to engage in the craft of acting in his first ever online class as he teaches you the approach that has won him two Academy Awards. The star of The Usual Suspects, American Beauty and House of Cards teaches the practical techniques that have made him a stage and screen legend.
Obviously, it’s not the same thing as working with Spacey in a class, but there’s always so much to learned from watching. Check out the video below, then head over to masterclass.com to explore more. (I’m not selling the videos, but I am way interested in watching them).
In addition, there are other classes – Dustin Hoffman teaching acting; Annie Leibowitz teaching photography; Serena Williams teaching tennis; James Patterson teaching writing…
Sounds like a cool concept, and obviously some HUGE heavy hitters here.

Jimmy Kimmel: Scarlett Johannson & Barry Manilow For (RED) Shopathon AIDS Fundraiser
Jimmy Kimmel asks Barry Manilow (who writes the songs that make the whole world sing, don’t you know…) to write a jingle that will inspire folks to spend money during the (RED) Shopathon raising money for AIDS.
But Manilow needs a “muse.” Who could we get? Hmm…
How about Scarlett Johansson?
Ding ding ding!
Cue the cute video 🙂

The victims of these now daily mass shootings need more than thoughts & prayers. They need action. We must REFUSE to accept this as normal.
