Here’s the official trailer to the upcoming movie of the musical of the John Waters movie “Hairspray.” This new movie really has the look of the old one—the costumes, sets, and hair are all right out of the 1987 version of 1963. The play re-interpreted the original movie’s mix of wild styles and drab settings with more of an all-around candy-colored fantasy look, but the second movie has de-interpreted all that. “Grease 2″ star Michelle Pfeiffer looks good in the Debbie Harry role, but some may wish that the real Debbie had been cast again. (By “some may,” I mean “I do.”)
“Grease 1″ star John Travolta in the Divine part is a complicated situation. Wouldn’t it be great if he shattered all of our low expectations and knocked our socks off with the gale force of a Jennifer Hudson (or a Sparty)? Nothing in the clip says that’s going to happen, but you might notice that all the brief glimpses of JT are from before the big makeover scene. So maybe there’s hope yet?

First she’s all pissed off, but then FoF guest Teri Garr go-gos up a storm at the bus stop and feels much better. We should all try it! This is a 16mm rarity Teri and her neighbor shot on Hollywood Boulevard when they were both teenagers. All of you who are teenagers now or ever […]

“Red, white, and blue / this is for you / if you were home, I’d hump on you”
Dig naughty Sandy in her country music video, a timely and horny number about our troops in Iraq. Since there hasn’t been much music about this war, it’s even more surprising for the rare song you do hear […]

Puppets are just drag you wear on your hand, and the Muppet Show was one of the nuttiest, most sophisticated shows on television in the 70s, despite (or because of?) its children’s-TV roots. Here Debbie Harry of Blondie appears to have the time of her life, confronted by Jim Henson’s psychedelic creations at every turn […]

Update: Youtube took down the video! Watch this space for new links. Here’s some others!
England’s Dusty Springfield, nee Mary O’Brien, was born upon this day in 1939–she’d be 68 today if she hadn’t tragically died of cancer in 1999. “Wishin’ and Hopin’” and “Son of a Preacher Man” are her two best-known hits in the […]

It’s mind-bending enough, and then you see 2:45 and you’re all “OMG”! Rosie “Ching-Chong” O’Donnell’s favorite video!
My plans for the evening of 9/11/01 were to attend a west Chelsea art opening by transsexual singing sensation Amanda Lear. I didn’t make it–but she didn’t cancel! Amanda was the muse of Spanish artist Salvador Dali and is […]

Here’s one more video by “Pickle Surprise” and “Strawberry Shortcut” director Tom Rubnitz, starring Paul Zone of the storied gay family rock act the Zone Brothers.
Even if it’s not quite up to “Shortcut” and “Pickle” levels of insanity, it’s colorful and fun. Look for guest appearances by “Pickle” faves Maria Ayala and David Dalrymple. […]
