I was feeling a little guilty after that whole "ohhh I love Gene Kelly, he's the dancing man for me" debacle, so I'm here to re-claim my love for Fred Astaire and convince everyone else of it, too. Born in 1899, Fred began working a show business at the age of 5 with his older sister Adele. His first screen test noted, "Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Dances a little." Honestly,...

There’s a whole lotta ‘Glee’ in these Gap ads

Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch (Free subscription) | 11/16/2009

The Gap is suddenly on a Glee-ful mission to remind us it still exists with their first television campaign in over two years. “Go Christmas! Go Hanukkah! Go Kwanzaa! Go Solstice???!” Stop trying to make “Go Solstice” happen! It’s not going to happen. I’d light everything I ever purchased from the Gap since 2000 on

Grey’s Anatomy: Hair Today ...

Vulture (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009

Though Meredith has been holed up for the past few weeks owing to her liver surgery (i.e., Ellen Pompeo's maternity leave), we realize we haven't missed her all that much — and neither, apparently, has anyone else. Nevertheless, she's back this week, hanging out in the Seattle Grace-Mercy West hallway, pontificating on the "past coming back to bite her in the ass." Appropriately enough,...

In my attempt to bring back the '80s (I don't think I ever mentioned this, but I will now: I'm trying to induce an '80s redux), I've been breaking out the leg warmers. They make me feel a little kitty-ish but it's okay, as it's all in the name of the eighties. I've been rewatching (for about the hundredth time each) the John Hughes classics (uhm, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris...

Matthew Morrison from Glee to Release Solo Album

BLOG! For Your Life (Free subscription) | 11/11/2009

You might know him as Mr. Schuster from the hit TV show Glee , but Matthew Morrison has performing on Broadway for a while. Being that he has starred in award winning musicals such as Hairspray and The Light in the Piazza , singing and dancing is nothing new to Morrison who might be the first person from Glee to break out as a solo artist.

A.V. Club (Free subscription) | 11/09/2009

Clearly, no running column devoted to memorable movie scenes can neglect the fine art of hoofing. Dance has always been an integral part of the medium’s appeal, even if the death of the live-action musical ( Chicago and the forthcoming Nine notwithstanding) means that most notable choreography can now be found on TV reality-show competitions. Trouble is, what I don’t know about dance could...

Originally published at tansyrr.com . You can comment here or there . It was far too hot to contemplate dragging the baby out to a NaNoWriMo write-in (sorry, guys, I couldn’t condemn her to two hours in a pouch), so instead I stayed in and we spent Sunday afternoon introducing Raeli to Singin’ In The Rain. The trouble with Singin’ In The Rain is that it’s such a popular film...
