Holy crap! It’s amazing that The Queers have been around for 25 years. Back 1982, Joe King (aka Joe Queer) and the original lineup recorded their first 7” called “Love Me”. Who would have thought that their signature brand of pop-punk surf rock would stand the test of time? 25 years! Damn!



This year The Queers are commemorating their achievements in a number of ways: their first ever DVD, a brand new CD, and a shit load of touring.



DVD: The Queers - The Queers Are Here (MVD Visual - www.mvdb2b.com - OUT NOW!)



Featuring world tours from '93 to '05, interviews, music videos and an unreleased animated video on their 1st DVD! It includes footage of all the live energy and behind-the-scenes craziness of the Queers on tour around the world. Also included are interviews, music videos, and an unreleased animated video. "Its been almost 25 years since the first 7” was released, so we figured it was time for a DVD. Besides being able to play with so many great bands, it has been awesome to make friends all over the world from Japan to Brazil to Europe and beyond." -Joe Queer

Britney Spears bought the Ju-Ju-Be Packabe in Perky Perennials style (http://ju-ju-be.com/packabe.html) at Nordstrom at The Grove in LA (there's video of her shopping with her crew on Access Hollywood's site).

Robert Lindsay is the
Prime Minister in
The Trial of Tony Blair


“We were treated to an all-too-plausible glimpse into the troubled mind and future of our beloved leader in The Trial of Tony Blair.” The Scotsman


In the wake of Tony Blair’s recent announcement that he is to stand down as British Prime Minister, BBC AMERICA presents a fictional satire of one of the most powerful and controversial figures on the world’s political stage. Made for TV movie, The Trial of Tony Blair, premieres Sunday, June 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.



The year is 2010 and Blair is giving his last ministerial broadcast, having finally handed over the reigns of power to his deputy, Gordon Brown. On the other side of the Atlantic, President Hillary Clinton is campaigning for her second term at the White House and former President Bush is in rehab.



In an acclaimed performance as Tony Blair, Robert Lindsay masterfully portrays the tribulations of a leader struggling to come to terms with life without the trappings of power. At the peak of his political career, Blair was renowned for his courting of celebrities, artful manipulation of the media and a magnetic charisma. Now, racked with guilt over the Iraq war and obsessed with his plummeting popularity, the increasingly troubled Blair turns to Catholicism for strength.



When Brown is elected Labour Party leader, support across the country swells dramatically. Blair is terrified his legacy and place in history are in jeopardy and attempts to sabotage the Labour Party’s efforts to win the General Election by leaking an inflammatory e-mail, sent by Brown in 2006, to the media.



Meanwhile, the celebrities who once fawned over Blair now pay no attention. He’s ignored by his former American friends and visions of the Iraq War – especially those of dead civilians – haunt him. To compound his problems, the International Criminal Court is looking to bring War Crimes charges against the former UK and U.S. leaders – and now that Blair isn’t Prime Minister, he no longer has Diplomatic Immunity from prosecution. When the United Nations Security Council votes on the decision to bring Blair to court the resolution passes with all other UNSC members (including the United States) voting in favor.



The Trial of Tony Blair stars Robert Lindsay (GBH, My Family) as Tony Blair, Phoebe Nicholls (Shackleton, Maurice, Lewis) as Cherie Blair, Peter Mullan (Children of Men, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave) as Gordon Brown and Alexander Armstrong (Life Begins) as David Cameron, leader of the opposition. The film is written by Alistair Beaton and executive produced by David Aukin and Hal Vogel.



What The British Press Said:



“…successfully lodges some pretty devastating images and ideas in the brain. Blair is portrayed as obsessed with the idea of organising and protecting his public legacy as he faces life without direct political power.” The Observer



“This inspired satire… is the highlight of the week.” The Times



“The magnificent Lindsay portrayed Blair as a fundamentally decent man, blighted by delusions of grandeur and a stubborn refusal to waver from his own misguided moral rectitude.” The Scotsman



“The Trial of Tony Blair is all but essential viewing, being the chance to see Robert Lindsay expanding his impersonation of the prime minister.” Financial Times

Weight Wars on TLC’s New Big Medicine

It’s no secret that America has a serious problem with obesity. According to the American Bariatric Society, approximately 127 million adults in the U.S. are overweight, 60 million obese and 9 million severely obese. In TLC’s new series BIG MEDICINE, a father and son physician team fight the obesity epidemic one bariatric surgery at a time.



BIG MEDICINE premieres Monday, May 28, at 9 PM (ET/PT) and follows the personal stories of severely obese patients who turn to Houston’s Methodist Weight Management Center as a life-changing last resort. One of the most innovative bariatric surgery practices, Methodist adheres to a long-term, multidisciplinary approach that includes a plan for lifelong follow-up. At the heart of the operation is passionate father and son surgeon team Robert and Garth Davis, a pair who have dedicated their professional lives to raising awareness about obesity.



BIG MEDICINE offers a behind-the-scenes look into the controversial world of bariatric surgery. The series chronicles the emotional journeys and transformation of obese people who have opted to undergo weight-loss surgery in an attempt to regain their lives. Patients are captured at various stages in the process – before and during the surgery, through recovery and post-op care and often through cosmetic procedures designed to remove sagging skin after dramatic weight loss.



The 13-part series introduces viewers to the Methodist team of experts dedicated to lifelong patient care, including a nurse coordinator, dietitian and counselor. This group works together to evaluate patients, prepare them for the physical and psychological impact of surgery and offer long-term support through post-op programs. To Robert and Garth Davis, obesity is a disease. And while weight-loss surgery is not a cure, it can be a lifesaving option for patients who are ready to commit to long-term lifestyle changes.


Some of the extraordinary stories featured in BIG MEDICINE include a 26-year-old morbidly obese man who is a prisoner in his own home and must rely on his mother for all of his daily needs; a mother and daughter duo who have huge amounts of excess skin removed after losing a combined 225 lbs; and a 32-year-old dad weighing in at almost 500 lbs who lost both his parents from the complications of obesity and is desperate not to follow in their footsteps.



Often as gripping as the patient stories is the colorful relationship between this father and son team where old school meets new school head on. Dr. Robert Davis, aka “big D,” is true to the old ways of medicine and sometimes finds new techniques too flashy or unnecessary, while Dr. Garth Davis, aka “little D,” is eager to modernize the business. Despite these differences, the pair unites in the operating room to fight a common enemy and change lives forever.



For more than 25 years, The Methodist Hospital in Houston has led the way in helping people achieve weight loss with safe, long-term solutions. The Methodist Weight Management Center is the only comprehensive program of its kind in Houston, offering numerous weight-loss options for patients.



BIG MEDICINE is produced by The Idea Factory. Alon Orstein is the executive producer for TLC. Stephen David and Darryl Silver are executive producers for The Idea Factory.

integrated weight loss center. He has specialized in bariatric surgery and is the Medical Director of the
Weight Loss Program at the Methodist Hospital.

Dr. Davis has been recently recognized again as a Texas Monthly Super Doc.

ANTM Picks a Winner

Despite the fact that bloggers are in a tizzy that she looks like a drag queen (we are a little embarassed to say we agree), Jaslene Gonzales, an online college admissions adviser from Chicago, was crowned the winner of the eighth cycle of The CW’s hit reality series “America’s Next Top Model.”



The three remaining models participated in a national photo shoot for CoverGirl’s Lipshine Lip Color and a “My Life as a CoverGirl” commercial. Cycle seven winner, CariDee, surprised the girls for some coaching during the final stage of the competition and the next day, the finalists faced the judges for the 11th elimination. While the judges were pleased with all of the girls’ performances in the commercial, they were especially impressed with Jaslene for incorporating her Latin heritage. Natasha continued to impress the judges with her ability to use the constructive criticism to improve from week to week. The judges decided that while Renee takes gorgeous photos, her look is not as fresh and young as the others, thus eliminating Renee from the competition.



The next day, Jaslene and Natasha met with Seventeen Magazine Entertainment Director, Carissa Rosenberg for their cover photo shoot. Emotions ran high as the girls began to realize that only one of them would end up as the cover of the magazine.



The following day, Jaslene and Natasha faced off in an unconventional runway fashion show with the theme “Evolution,” for Australian designers Sass & Bide, where they progressed from early women to high fashion runway models. The judges agreed that while Natasha’s performance started out strong, it grew weaker throughout the challenge. Meanwhile, Jaslene grew fiercer as the runway show progressed. After the fashion show, Jaslene said, “I think I bring a fierceness on the runway. I’m the Latin spice here. I bring some extra flavor. I’m not your girl next door.”



During the final elimination, the judges considered the runway performances from the final runway challenge, as well as each girl’s portfolio and their overall performance throughout the competition. While the judges felt that Natasha has beautiful features, Jaslene’s consistently strong photos and passion for modeling gave her the edge in the competition. “I didn’t make it the first time, but now look at me. I’m America’s Next Top Model. I’m a Cover Girl! And I think that shows all young women that if you have that drive – keep going, you can make it,” Jaslene said after Tyra announced that she had become “America’s Next Top Model.”



In addition to a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl, this year’s prize package for the winner of The CW’s “America’s Next Top Model” will include a contract with Elite Model Management and a cover and six-page fashion spread in Seventeen magazine.



The eighth cycle of the hit reality series “America’s Next Top Model” on The CW follows 13 young women as they attempt to prove they have what it takes to make it in the high-stress world of modeling. Banks, who created the show, also serves as executive producer along with Ken Mok (“Making the Band”) and Anthony Dominici (“The Amazing Race”).



“America’s Next Top Model” airs Wednesdays, (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on The CW. For more information about “America’s Next Top Model” log on to www.cwtv.com.


BeansTalk Note: We watched two seasons of this show (not in a row, though). We watched Cycle 6 (Joanie SO should’ve won over Danielle) and a VH1 marathon of Cycle 1 (Adrienne aka Mrs. Peter Brady Curry won.) When we watched, we kept telling people that if you have a daughter, this really isn’t the show for you to allow her to watch. The judging is selective and, as it has been proven, rarely right. Elyse Sewell, who came in “third” in the first season was amazingly looking and may be considered the show’s most successful working model. Check her out (http://elysesewell.livejournal.com/) she was extremely intelligent and gorgeous, an almost unfair package of near perfection. We interviewed her for a story that our day job never ran, and were still impressed with her at the end of the interview. She travels extensively modeling.

Coming Soon to BBC America

BBC AMERICA serves up a daily dose of must-see drama with a regular week night visit to the fictional suburb of Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks airs Monday-Friday at 10:30 p.m. premiering Monday, June 4 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.



Before the first episode, members of the cast introduce characters and storylines in a special introductory show that takes viewers on a guided tour of Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks: The Story So Far premieres on Sunday, June 3 at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT and encores Monday, June 4 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.



Fast paced and issue-based, this gripping drama focuses on the lives and loves of a group of students who attend Hollyoaks Community College (HCC). The show blends light-hearted storylines that capture the spirit and excitement of being young while embracing serious issues – from teenage pregnancy to dating disasters - that are a part of teen life.



Hollyoaks has been a hit drama for a decade in the UK. BBC AMERICA picks up the story in the build-up to a pivotal plot point in which escaped convict Sam Owen, who was convicted of date rape, wreaks his revenge on Hollyoaks by inflicting death and destruction at the local pub, The Dog.



In the first episode we meet new students Will, Kris and Zoë who have just arrived at HCC as well as Jess, Olivia and Joe who are already living in the dorms. Kris, Joe, Zoë and Olivia will all be at The Dog when Sam holds them hostage.



Meanwhile, Sam’s brother Russ is trying to get on with his life following Sam’s conviction. He’s returning to HCC to study for a Masters and he’s got a new girlfriend, Sophie, although it seems like he still holds a candle for his ex, Mercedes.



Becca, a married teacher at Hollyoaks, is pregnant. She’s been having an affair with one of her former students, Justin. He’s spending time with his sisters, Mel and Sophie, talking about how he feels when the baby arrives… if it is his baby.



These stories continue to develop in the lead up to the devastating fire at The Dog, an event that will leave a scar on the face of Hollyoaks for years to come. In the ensuing episodes, the community will rally round to help the survivors and life goes on bringing with it a whole new set of problems and dramas for its inhabitants.



Amy has to deal with an unexpected pregnancy, Hannah’s pursuit of John-Paul leaves her constantly disappointed and she turns to food for comfort, school teacher Becca faces a jail sentence for her affair with ex-pupil Justin, and Clare and Max tie the knot - though it seems Clare might have an ulterior motive?



Looking further ahead, there’s more exciting drama in the pipeline. With powerful performances, great writing, award-winning storylines and beautiful people, Hollyoaks has something for everyone.

Lyric Culture Rocks the Avalon

by Andrea Goodwin, associate editor (agoodwin@beanstalkbiz.com)

You say you want a revolution? Lyric Culture hosts launch party featuring runway show and special performance by three time Grammy Award winning artist Fergie at Avalon Hollywood.

Lyric Culture, a premium rock n' roll lifestyle brand, celebrated its official launch at historical Hollywood night spot Avalon - Thursday, May 10th at 7 pm. Actually, many native Angelinos likely remember the Avalon as the Palace, back in the day. The Beatles played their first west coast club date there in the 60's. Last Thursday, BeansTalk was in attendance, covering the exclusive evening, which featured a runway presentation of Lyric Culture's debut collection, 'Lyric Culture: Revolution', as well as a special 60-minute performance by multi-platinum, three time Grammy Award winner Fergie. Guests were treated to appetizers from LA’s Chocolat restaurant and drinks from Heineken, Ecstasy, Trago tequila, Marani premium vodka and Steaz energy drink.

The intimate concert was a thrill for the lucky crowd of about 250, especially in light of the disclosure by Miss Fergalicious herself, that this event was, “only the second one-hour show she has ever performed as a solo artist.” She certainly was in top form both vocally and physically as she belted out tunes from Heart such as “Baracuda” as well as pulsating and gyrating versions of her own “London Bridge” and “My Humps.” She dedicated her latest hit “Glamorous” to the fashion devotees and “powerful women” in the crowd. Surprisingly, Fergie was dressed casually in slim black denim pedal pushers, black pat flats, and a simple black blouse for most of the evening, but perhaps this attire was planned so that she do acrobatic one-handed walk-overs while singing!

Lyric Culture is a lyric-inspired clothing company that embodies the words of legendary artists such as The Beatles, David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac and many others on denim, leather jackets, shorts, skirts, corsets, tee shirts and belt buckles. The debut collection titled 'Lyric Culture: Revolution' is dedicated to music created during the late 60s and early 70s, a period ripe with the realization that music could inspire social change. "From the moment psychedelia took hold in the summer of 1967 through peace demonstrations, free love and the anti-establishment culture, the artists of the revolution wrote songs to reflect a time where rebellion and love could co-exist. The depth and power of their music was an incredible source of inspiration for our Revolution Collection," says Hanna, President and Designer of Lyric Culture.


The runway show, styled by celebrity stylist Tanya Gill, featured looks from the retail collection, as well as special one-of-a-kind pieces, designed specifically for the runway. BeansTalk especially enjoyed the nod to the Glam-rock era of David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust. The models wore silver and gold lips and airbrushed fuscia and yellow eye make-up to complement the black licorice jeans, vintage tees, sexy leather vests, and patent hot pants. The crowd was also very enthusiastic about the “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” segment, as it featured a beautiful model wearing little more than a psychedelic tie-dyed mini and a Swarovski crystalized diamond bra. Let’s see now, can we really call what she modeled a “bra?” BeansTalk thinks not. Remember Demi Moore’s glued on sequins in “Striptease?” Well, this “bra” made that one look like body armor. It was very beautiful, actually. As this staffer was telling her companion that night, “Hey, if you have a beautiful body like that. You should be naked.”




Hanna, a musician and lyricist in her own right, created Lyric Culture as an answer to the recent changes in the music industry. "As a singer-songwriter and recording artist myself, I was always searching for innovative revenue streams for musicians. You can't make money in the music industry just by cutting an album anymore," says Hanna. The industry's response to the new brand has been positive - Lyric Culture has licensing deals with the largest music companies in the world including Warner Chappell, Universal Music Publishing, EMI, Sony/ATV,BMG, Chrysalis and more. The line is favored by celebrities including Kelly Clarkson, Elletra Rossellini, Cuba Gooding Jr., Molly Sims, Hilary Duff and Rock Star's Brooke Burke.

Celebrity fans, including Brittney Snow, Tracey Edmonds, Melody Thornton of the Pussycat Dolls, Rachel Hunter, and Sophia Bush came out to celebrate the brand’s official launch, could also be seen strolling the red carpet wearing Lyric Culture.

Lyric Culture is available at high-end boutiques and department stores such as Lisa Kline and Saks Fifth Avenue
