R.I.P. Cyd Charisse
By Ann Magnuson
Even in the remote mountains of West Virginia we eventually hear the news and this news is sad indeed. Cyd Charisse, one of the most golden of the golden gals from Hollywood's Golden Age, passed away yesterday morning. This amazing dancer and star of yesteryear will thankfully live forever in movies like Singin' in the Rain. Here she is with Gene Kelly in what might be my favorite slice of celluloid. This number continues to amaze and I get goosebumps every time I see it (and I've seen it HUNDREDS of times!) Rest in peace Cyd. You were a SUPERSTAR (with SUPER STELLAR GAMS!!!!)

Rufus Wainwright Does Judy at Hollywood Bowl
By Ann Magnuson
The Rufus Wainwright/Judy Garland extravaganza at the Hollywood Bowl was a star-studded event! (Debbie Reynolds! Reese Witherspoon! former PAPER mag cover girl Dita von Teese!) But no star was more stellar than Rufus himself when he stepped out on stage in full Judy "Get Happy" Drag! The crowd went WILD! (Almost as wild as they did for his magnificent show-stopping, scene-stealing sister Martha Wainwright when she did a guest turn singing "Stormy Weather"!) Who knew Rufus had such great gams?!
