Accessories Are Everything, Redux

Gossip outlets are reporting that media minx Paris Hilton had her advances toward Portugese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo go completely unnoticed by her prey.


We can't imagine why.

Nice man bag, though.

Noonanism Strikes Again



Undoubtedly, the strangest crush we've had around here is on 1950's and 1960's television personality, Robert Q. Lewis. We just love his geeky-yet-sophisticated charm, and his trademark glasses are fabulous. Robert Q. Lewis (the self-appointed middle initial stood for "anything you want!", as he put it) was also reputedly a "confirmed bachelor," wink wink.


So that's what the "Q" stood for.

How Did I Miss These Parties?




People Will Say We're in Love

There is much that is deeply scary in this photo of ex-gay porn star Jack Wrangler, the late drag legend Charles Pierce, and Wrangler's wife, Margaret Whiting.



There's the fact that the once-heart- (and other organ) throbbingly handsome Wrangler is wearing Sally Jesse Raphael-inspired eyewear, and despite going straight, still found time to feather his shockingly blond hair. There's Pierce's Julie Andrews-on-a-bender visage and haircut. And there's Margaret Whiting, looking even more like a drag queen than Pierce.

Remember When...

...Liza was really, really fabulous?

We Hart Moss



The brilliant Moss Hart wrote such masterworks as The Man Who Came to Dinner and directed such mega-hits as My Fair Lady. He was also a closet queen who spent most of his adult life in therapy, trying to "control" his "impulses."

POSTER FOR THE ORIGINAL BROADWAY PRODUCTION OF MY FAIR LADY (1956)

Despite his struggles with sexuality, Hart married actress Kitty Carlisle in 1946; they epitomized the glamour of New York cafe society, and were together until Moss Hart's death of heart failure in 1961.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A "BEARD," SHE MAY AS WELL BE A FABULOUS ONE.

Two years after his death, Moss Hart was portrayed by George Hamilton in the screen version of his autobiography, Act One. Hamilton was quite a dish, before he became a parody of himself. We're sure Moss would have approved of the casting.


Kitty Carlisle Hart went on to become a beloved TV icon, perform with the Metropolitan Opera, and give New York society a gracious, glamorous face. She passed away at her home in 2007, at the age of 96.

Great Scott


TARZAN AND HIS HIDDEN JUNGLE

Gordon Scott may not quite be an icon on the level of, say, Steve Reeves, but his work in the Tarzan series, as well as several sword-and-sandal peplums, is fondly remembered. So is his torso.


AHEM.


"WE COULD TAKE IN A STEVE REEVES MOVIE..."


THE BOY LOVED HIS BANANAS.

Gordon Scott passed away on April 30, 2007, at age 80. He had been living with fans who remembered and loved him from the Tarzan films.
