good morning! i had one of those moments a few minutes ago when you ask yourself was it really that long ago? yup - it has been 26 years since toni basil's hit single mickey was burning up the airwaves! ms. basil was spotted out this week at bette midler's kick-off party for her new las vegas show 'the showgirl must go on' (which i'm dying to see - i love bette!) and toni actually turns 65 this year! she doesn't look horribly bad but i did do a double take - and thought oh my gosh - time really does fly - sad but true! (at least she doesn't appear to be one of those plastic surgery galore ladies - yes there's been work but it's not out of control like say jocelyn wildenstein - who looks like a freak) besides having an infectious pop hit - ms. basil has also done a lot of choreography work - and has even appeared in a number of films including easy rider & five easy pieces! below you'll find the video for 'mickey' - a song that i'll never grow tired of! thank heavens it's friday - i so need the weekend! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
HOT LINKS! † rihanna is on the prowl for a well endowed guy! cele|bitchy † suri cruise and her bear play a little cautionary limbo popsugar † michael jackson's face appeared in an ultrasound? gawker † what does pamela anderson look like without make-up? celebslam † oh how gross ... amy winehouse's breast implants were leaking! dlisted †have you seen carmen electra's sex tape yet?egotastic
OH MICKEY - 26 YEARS LATER...
Sadness! It tells me the video is no longer available. Maybe it is me - seems like lately when i click on the videos people blog they have always been taken down already! And then, next to "email" here it says "email addresses are published or sold" so I am even more confused about how it all works. At least I can listen to "Oh Mickey" in my head all day now!

One point you seemed to have missed, Toni Basil is the head choreographer for Bette's show here in Vegas. That is why she was on the red carpet.
