"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Rule 5 Sunday: Danielle Rose Russell

— compiled by Wombat-socho The daughter of a Rockette, this New Jersey girl started her acting career early with A Walk Among The Tombstones alongside Liam Neeson, but she’s probably better known for her role as Hope Mikaelson on the Vampire Diaries spinoffs The Originals and Legacies. Here’s a pic of her from the latter […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Queen Victoria Eugenie Of Spain

— compiled by Wombat-socho Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Being royalty isn’t always a fairy tale life, but with the exception of the very unfortunate Romanovs, few royals had it harder than the Queen Consort of Spain, Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, granddaughter of England’s Queen Victoria and first cousin to King George V. […]

Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday: Kate Upton

— compiled by Wombat-socho Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Whatever one may think about the Astros, it would be very hard to argue that stud pitcher Justin Verlander is not the league leader in babelicious baseball wives, since he’s married to the voluptuous and seemingly always cheerful Kate Upton. Here we see Mrs. […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Carol Cleveland

— compiled by Wombat-socho Carol Cleveland was a comedy actress before getting involved with the guys who invented Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but most of us remember her as the smashing blonde on the show, and in fact she was worried that it might keep her from getting other work. Guess not. Here’s a shot […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Gwen Stefani & The Harajuku Girls

— compiled by Wombat-socho One of the kerfluffles I missed because I don’t pay much attention to celebrity gossip and even less to has-beens like Margaret Cho was the accusation that Ms. Stefani and her backup singers/dancers/entourage were committing the hideous sin of “cultural appropriation”. Given the awkward history of Japanese/Korean relations, a Korean-American ex-comedienne […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Gwen Verdon

— compiled by Wombat-socho I think my first encounter with the hit Broadway play Damn Yankees was on an easy listening station in DC which used to run a program called “Matinees At One” on Sunday afternoons. They’d play the soundtrack from a Broadway show, and in between songs the announcer would recount the plot […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Late Night With The Alabama Cheer Squad

— compiled by Wombat-socho I should live so long. Here’s a pic of some lovely young Alabama ladies at what I assume is practice. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Ninety Miles From Tyranny: Hot Pick of the Late Night, The 90 Miles Mystery Box Episode #1477, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns.  Animal […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Rabbit Season!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Apparently the only actress of note born today is Emmy Rossum, who looks like she could use a cheeseburger or five, so tonight’s appetizer is cosplayer Qi’ra Rose. Because it’s always rabbit season if the rabbit in question is Jessica Rabbit. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Ninety Miles From […]
