When I was like eleven or twelve, Twin Peaks and Cop Dale Cooper were quite honestly the coolest thing since Benetton Barbie. My cousin and I were complete addicts, and our idea of the perfect man back in those prepubescent days was Kyle MacLachlan and hot cops in general. Sure he bombed in Showgirls, but he bombed in a cool, spectacularly bad way. The remote light up palm trees and swimming pool scene will always go down as the most … Read More »

51 and still yummy The ever-divine Viggo Mortensen turns 51 today, and I swear the man just doesn’t lose his appeal. I’m a huge fan, even when he plays a baddy opposite the dreadful Gwyneth Paltrow (can’t even remember that movie, had Michael Douglas too?) – the man is just hot.

Anyone who has ever listened to Leonard Cohen will understand what I mean when I say the man is a genius poet. I grew up with his sad, beautiful and intense songs – from Suzanne to Chelsea Hotel, So Long Maryanne and many others, but my favourite is Hallelujah. In honour of his 75th birthday, and considering it’s perfect timing for some Monday Mope Music, here is Hallelujah in all its breathtaking beauty. Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah Now I’ve heard … Read More »

How cool is that, just in cue with my need for cheese, I see that today is Sir Mix-A-Lot’s birthday! The supreme cheese master turns 46 today, and of course that means I can blast the all time most awesomest jewel in my cheese collection and PUSH IT!!! Sir Mix-A-Lot – Baby Got Back Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt. It is so big. She looks like, one of those rap guys’ girlfriends. But, you know, who understands … Read More »

Killing it God, I can’t believe I missed this, but yesterday was Wenty’s 37th birthday. I could have chosen a picture that showed his beeootiful eyes, but I prefer him hardcore and badass so opted on this one instead. I’ve said this countless time, but (most) men seem to improve with age. Wenty just seems to get hotter, it’s awesome.

Awesome, just awesome Ok, I’m a day late, but I got very excited when I saw that yesterday was the birthday of the incredibly awesome actor that brings us the best show in the world, aka Michael C Hall from Dexter. Dexter totally exceeded all expectations and is now officially my all time favourite series ever. Too bad season 4 is fairly far away, but until then I guess I can re-watch seasons 1 – 3 again when I need … Read More »

And thank you for moving us to tears with classics like Fallen and Angel. Right now, in this moment, this song brings a lump to my throat. Too stunning for words. No-one can come close to having a voice like this. Not even close. Heaven bent to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight Truth be told I’ve tried my best But somewhere along the way I … Read More »

His hat is like a shark’s fin Now that makes me feel better still – turns out today is LL Cool J’s 41st birthday! That man is a legend of note, from his cheesy beginnings with classics like I’m Bad, to his epic acting that gives every movie a whole new vibe. My favourite LL movie has got to be Deep Blue Sea, which remains my favourite movie and has everything from manic sharks to Thomas Jane, ridiculous plot twists … Read More »
