Hugh Jackman seems like a tremendously nice guy, don't you think?  Well.  Here's more proof:

I hear-tell that production was halted on the set of Real Steel Friday while Hugh Jackman led the cast , crew and 1000 extras in singing Happy Birthday to Director Shawn Levy whose family was in attendance.

Very nice to hear stories like this, instead of the crap I usually write about, huh?

Happy 100th Birthday, Gloria Stuart! Wow.

Wow. Look at Gloria, back in the day!

Seriously HOT.
Gloria Stuart, best known to us "young'uns" as Rose in the now-classic Titanic turned 100 years old today.  Ho. Lee. Crap.  Can you guys even imagine turning 100 years of age?  Good LAWD.
Gloria was most certainly drop dead gorgeous in her day...long before anyone used the word "HOT"...so she deserves it now.

via aceshowbiz.com:

"Titanic" star Gloria Stuart will celebrate her 100th birthday in style with a film tribute at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The Oscar-nominated actress, who turns 100 on Sunday, July 4, will chat to film expert and friend Leonard Matlin as part of the evening, which will also feature film clips and memories from her long life."

Awwwww....this part was so awesome.

Happy 48th Birthday, Tom Cruise…you tiny freak.

Cray Cray the Tinyman

Oh Dear Xenu, I'm scared.

GAAAAH!

Poor Oprah...

Who still does the "thumbs up"? Clearly, just this idiot.

Tom, making fun of himself. He needs to leave that to the PROFESSIONALS. Like me.

What better way to wish Tommy Girl a happy 48th birthday, than to give y'all a stroll down Crazy Lane?  Honestly though?  I think I would be absolutely terrified to come face-to-freak with this psychopathic zealot.  (That's your Phrase of the Day!)

Why is it cold in here all of a sudden?  Hold me.  I'm frightened.

Happy 58th Birthday, John Goodman – You Hot Piece!

By: DivaJulia

Someone's looking pretty dreamy these days!

If John Goodman keeps this up, he's gonna give Clooney a run for his money.  Check out "Dan Conner", you guys.  Wow.

John's not really saying how he lost the weight...either a "procedure" or a "plan"?   Doesn't matter.  He looks fantastic and healthy.

Happy Birthday, John!

Happy Birthday, Boy George, You Bitch. (Pictures and Video)

We haven't forgotten you, Boy.

Lookin' hot, Mr. George Alan O'Dowd

Y'all know I'm not mean, unless I have a good excuse.  You know, like how Hannibal Lecter didn't kill someone without a gotdamn good reason.  Same thing.  (Did you know I, too, can lower my pulse on demand?)  Bear that in mind.

My regular readers know why I don't care for this bitter queen. It has a little something to do with some crazyMEAN comments made here on Dipped in Cream allegedly by Boy George. **COUGH I have an IP address/city/country, etc. tracker COUGH**.

ANYgay.  I'm not gonna be all that hateful...I have a lot of fond memories of Culture Club from back in the day, but I really love this song:

Oh, Crying Game.  Fantastic song.

Happy 49th Birthday, Boy, you mean bitch.

Happy 50th Birthday, Bono!

Oh, Saint Bono.

Yes.  Bono's 50 today...I heard this little joke about him years ago, and think of it whenever I read about Mr. Paul Hewson:

U2 are waiting to be let in at the gates of heaven. God is sitting in his throne and says, “Before I can let you in, I need each of you to tell me what you most believe in…”

Adam goes first and says, “I believe in a sturdy bass line and that dating supermodels is a bad idea.” Adam enters heaven.

The Edge is next. “I believe in the C chord, the G chord, and the D chord. And with those chords I believe I can change the world.’ The Edge follows Adam in.

“I believe in a 4/4 beat, all day, every day”, Larry adds. He’s then allowed through the gates.

“Now ,what do you believe in, Bono?” God asks .

“I believe you’re sitting in my chair.”

Anyway. How to describe Bono?

Singer

Songwriter

Husband

Father

Activist

Philanthropist

Irritant to Annette and Carter Magna  (this one makes me laugh...)

Happy Birthday, Alex!

Today is my oldest son, Alex's birthday.  I read what I wrote on Dipped in Cream for his birthday last year, and I don't think I can say much more than I already did, so I'll re-post it...but with new pictures.

Happy Birthday, Alex!

Brothers

Day-Day and Alex

Just like Daddy.

Alex is 26 years old today! Whaaaa??? It seems like yesterday I was in the hospital, looking down at this baby ("look at the baby on that nose!") trying to come to terms with the fact that I had a BOY, and not a GIRL, like my doctor told me. I fell in love HARD with this tiny man.

Alex has become a man I truly admire. He adores his wife and is an amazing dad. He puts his family first...as it should be, I know, but it doesn't always work that way these days. I love his sense of humor--Felix is well on his way, too. In our family, it's all about The Funny. Dayna is hilarious and the two of them are just fantastic parents.

Enough with the Gushfest. Happy Birthday, Boy!  Mama loves you!

Happy Birthday, Jean Paul Gaultier!

'Member this? Madonna and Gaultier

So, I used to work at Nordstrom back in the 1990's.  I sold men's suits...or, to "queer it up", as Patrick says, "j'know, I was Wardrobe Consultant in High-End Men's Clothing...slurrrrp".  ANYgay.  Right next the suit department was Men's Fragrance counter, where one could find some lovely over-priced crap for dudes.

Le Male - by Gaultier

One of the Men's Fragrance sales-chick's corrected my pronunciation of Jean Paul Gaultier's name, using a very snooty tone when addressing me.  "Um, Julia? It's actually pronounced GENE PAUL GALLTEER,  just so you know next time."  Yeah.

The best part?  Her last name was Joliebois.  She pronounced it JOLLY BOYS.

This story is 100% true, and I hope Ms.  Joliebois doesn't read my tremendous ridiculous blog.

For those of you who are way too young to remember, Gaultier designed (amongst other fantastic pieces) the infamous cone bra that Madonna rocked on her "Blonde Ambition Tour" -- AND that Jane Lynch paid homage (pronounced HO-MAAYJ?) to last week on "Glee"!

Oh, Sue Sylvester

Oh, and happy birthday Gene!

Happy Birthday, Dennis Quaid – 56???

Oh, Dennis Quaid

Photo: Vanity Fair/Italy

Happy 56th Birthday, Mr. Dennis Quaid.  Good LAWD!!

Dennis clearly isn't the norm for actors of a "certain age", is he?  We are bombarded with images of beautifully altered actresses over the age of 50 (even over 40 -- Demi? I'm talkin' to ya!) who inflict their, ahem, agelessness down our throats.  Meanwhile, we have the likes of wrinkly Bruce Willis, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner, Richard Gere, Denzel Washington, et al) who continue to work, work, work...with the ravages of their age rarely an issue.

So let's all give Dennis Quaid a hand for actually workin' it OUT.  He looks like maybe he's  had Botox between his eyebrows, but that's probably all he's had done.

Nicely done, Dennis. Nicely done.

Happy Birthday, Paul Rudd; Felix’s Mom, Dayna; oh, and ME!

See? Paul Rudd is hot...

and..

is great with the kids and Muppets on Sesame Street (he's the Handsome Prince, of course!)

aaaand...he'll make you pee your pants from laughing:

Oh, Paul Rudd.  We share a birthday.  The awesome part is that Dayna, Felix's mom also has the same birthday, and SHE loves Paul Rudd every much as I do.  See?  Full circle, my friends; full circle.

Oh, Day-Day

Here's our chat on Facebook for your entertainment:

Dayna
