Website/Blogger News: Two separate fans of Ida Rubinstein have written to me for help with their respective projects in Toronto and London. Her legendary sensual allure and intense connections with some of the finest artists of her era still piques intrigue and rumors.
I'm no expert, just a derivative visually-oriented cyber-biographer when it comes to the High Patroness of this Blog, but I tend to concur with Toni Bentley about her intimate life. What the Heck? I'm willing to be surprised about Ida, and I hope other Rubinsteinophiles find new facets of her incredible career!
Media Watch: I'm giving Trash A Go Go another chance. The opening number featuring the pro dancers was excellent, except that Maksim seemed to be sitting this season out. It was all-male night, and there were some good-looking young guys among the contestants who were actually able to dance. A singer named Mario tore the place up with Karina Smirnoff. There were too many token old comics -- Gutenberg wasn't too bad, and drew a pretty good partner with Anna, but I doubt he's going to do as well as John O'Hurley. Jimmy Kimmel's former partner was terrible and should be thrown off first for his lousy attitude. Comedy magician Penn Gillette should probably go next, unless he improves greatly.
On a better show -- BreakSk8 was sent home on America's Best Dance Crew. If I was the producer I would have kept all of the last four contestants through the season finale and given 1st, 2nd, 3rd place awards plus an honorable mention. BrakeSk8 went out with their heads high, and a fine speech from their leader. JabbaWockeeZ choreography was elegant and masterful, despite the lousy music they were given. Even though I'm not mentioning the other two groups, there were no losers, except for that stupid idea of mixing Broadway and Hip Hop.
