it must have been a bit windy at the silver carpet premiere of sex and the city 2 last night in NYC – check out my darling liza minnelli who was battling with mother nature to keep her sheer outfit in place – i love her to pieces but we don’t need to see her nipples! although i’m not crazy about what she was wearing i do think she looks totally fabulous at age 64! i can’t wait to see her cameo in the film when she takes on beyoncé‘s hit song single ladies at ‘stanford and anthony’s’ wedding! luckily i’m seeing the movie tomorrow night at a special screening at arclight cinemas here in hollywood but i’m started to get worried when i see headlines like these … ‘sex and the city’ sequel gets scathing reviews … sex and the city 2: the worst movie ever? … oh no! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo

… it’s my darling liza minnelli who attended the VH1 diva show held last night held at BAM (brooklyn academy of music) i watched most of it and i think the network should put their diva show back up on the shelf … some of the performances were decent (adele, jennifer hudson, kelly clarkson, jordin sparks) but then you had miley cyrus belting out her shitty new single party in the usa (girlfriend ruined the party) she’s not even allowed to vote or drink yet – she’s hardly what i would consider a diva! when i hear that term i think of peeps like whitney houston (of course), tina turner, madonna, grace jones, cher, celine dion, bette midler, barbara streisand, diana ross, mariah carey, and last but not least – ms. minnelli! (if there’s any divas i forgot to include – let me know – i know i must have forgot someone) as for host paula abdul – i loved seeing her little (lip synced) trip down memory lane number in the beginning but she was acting a bit wacky & loopy – once again – too many happy pills (i do love that woman yet she makes an easy target … just ask kathy griffin) i seriously hope this is the last faux diva special we’ll be subjected to for a while – unless they can get some actual divas to sing at the party! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo



PS i love this picture of liza with nene leakes from the real housewives of atlanta!

hey hey! so if you’ve read any of my tweets from the past two days – you already know how i feel about liza minnelli‘s two-night stint over at the hollywood bowl (a truly magical place) she was amazing! of course being a die hard liza fan – i had to go both nights – and i’m so happy i did – both shows were equally excellent – i can’t stop thinking about it! plus i was in good company – the first night – a lovely mother and daughter team who were total liza fans (they snapped some great pictures – check ‘em out below) the second night another group of really nice die hard liza fans! now of course it’s not 1972 anymore (the year cabaret was released – which garnered ms. minnelli an academy award for best actress) but 37 years later girlfriend (age 63) is still kicking and really did put on a stellar show – which included a number of her standards (maybe this time, cabaret, liza with a z, and of course new york, new york) and took on some songs i hadn’t heard before like what makes a man a man, i would never leave you and teach me tonight which she opened with … for the record – nobody needs to teach liza anything – it’s the other way around … she definitely taught us a thing or two! she’s been on stage performing since she was a teenager – and she’s worked with just about everyone in the business – and because of her infamous parents judy garland & vincent minnelli – she ran with a crowd that included people like rat packers frank sinatra and sammy davis jr. – she’s led a truly legendary life – i was so happy to see her up their doing her thing with a twelve-piece band (including billy stritch on piano) and no backup singers! thankfully she still sounded great (her voice isn’t what it used to be but she still can sing better than i can!) she looked excellent – her infectious energy & triumphant spirit is unmatched! (liza even got a standing ovation right at the start) she was the one person that i was truly dying to see someday in person – i’m thrilled i actually got to see her two evenings in a row – a gay boy’s lifelong dream come true! (there’s two videos below – the audio came out great) next month she’s playing over in las vegas – where she’ll be taping her tony-winning broadway show liza’s at the palace for a DVD – i can’t wait for that to come out! all the odds were in liza’s favor this weekend – she definitely won this time around! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo



PS everyone i talked to at both shows felt the same way i did – liza kicked ass!
