“Chewing Gum”
Iselin
Dubbed “Norway’s answer to Rebecca Black,” Iselin Michelsen’s smash hit “Chewing Gum” even has the same “Fun Fun Fun” chorus as Rebecca’s claim to fame. But unlike Rebecca, Iselin has solid credentials in the entertainment world. No, seriously! She was on the Norwegian version of the reality show Paradise Hotel, which is a real thing.

It was all about the “triple kiss” in 2004, when Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson turned the bromantic cop show into a feature film.
Carmen Electra accepted the award on behalf of her S&H costars, and gave a sweet peck to presenters Paris Hilton and Snoop Dog. We would have loved to see Owen Wilson accept the honor that way.

5 Trans Activists Who Transformed The World

Christopher Lee
Lee was outspoken as a trans activist and filmmaker, but it was his tragic death that may have had the greatest impact.
The co-founder of San Francisco’s Transgender Film Festival and director of the autobiographical Christopher’s Chronicles, Lee committed suicide in 2012 at age 48. But because he had not received an updated birth certificate, the coroner’s office listed Lee’s gender as “female” on his death certificate.
“It felt like spitting on his grave,” said friend Chino Scott-Chung. “When they put R.I.P. on people’s tombstones it’s “rest in peace.” And I just felt like Christopher’s spirit will not rest in peace with a death certificate that says female.”
As a result, Scott-Chung went to California Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, who introduced the Respect After Death Act, which was passed by the State Assembly and signed by Governor Jerry Brown. It took effect in 2015.
“A person should rest in peace after death as the same person they were during life,” Atkins said in a statement. “This bill is designed to ensure that the wishes of a transgender person regarding their gender identity are respected after they have passed on.”

Favorite Unconventional Hunk of the Day: April 6, 2008

From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
Some might argue actor Bobby Cannavale is not an unconventional hunk, but I think it is great he does not fit the usual mold. He can be a strong dramatic actor as well as extremely funny. He has a great resume in film and TV with some of my favorites being his roles in Third Watch, Will and Grace and the movie Shall We Dance. No matter what you label him, Bobby is certainly a hunk.

Marylee Hadley
Written on the Wind
Dorothy Malone (born January 30, 1925) is an American actress. Her film career began in 1943, and in her early years she played small roles, mainly in B-movies. After a decade in films, she began to acquire a more glamorous image, particularly after her performance in Written on the Wind (1956), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her film career reached its peak by the beginning of the 1960s, and she achieved later success with her television role as Constance MacKenzie on Peyton Place from 1964 to 1968. Less active in her later years, Malone returned to films in 1992 as the friend of Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct.
She is one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

The 100 Greatest Lost Hits of The 80’s Part 2: The New Batch

“Time”
The Alan Parsons Project
We need to discuss The Alan Parsons Project! Amazingly, the British duo of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson never hit the top 40 on the UK chart, and in fact only hit the UK chart twice in the entirety of their career, with “Old And Wise” (#74) and “Don’t Answer me” (#58).
Obviously, their biggest chart success came in North America, and 1980’s The Turn Of A Friendly Card was a turning point. The first single “Games People Play” became a radio staple, but it was the followup single that became my favorite APP song. “Time” peaked at #15 in August 1981, and is a sweeping, gorgeous ballad about loss and regret, and holds a special meaning for me personally, when a dear friend asked that it be played at his funeral. Sadly, it’s rarely heard today.
“Time” was the first APP hit with vocals by Eric Woolfson, and he would sing lead on all of the group’s future top 40 hits, including the ’80s classic “Eye In The Sky,” and “Prime Time” (which scored high on the first Lost Hits list).
BONUS! Here’s the terrific “Prime Time,” which is still one of the most memorable videos of MTV’s early years.
