Covid-19 John Waters Rachel Brosnahan The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS MRS MAISEL DOING WITH JOHN WATERS?

Rachel Brosnahan’s character Midge has made a lot of progress since The Marvelous Mrs Maisel started tentatively filming season 4 with STRICT Covid rules back in January. Note the clear bubble umbrella in the top photo with it’s own oxygen source on top!
(they took excellent care of their leading lady) Shooting has off and on continued in New York, and this week shows how much progress has been made. Midge is being filmed seated on a park bench (note the vintage coke) and she’s quite close to the two other actors – including John Waters far right! Can’t WAIT to see who Waters plays on the series!

ATTENTION SPY KIDS 4: JOHN WATERS INTRODUCED ODORAMA IN 1981

Director Robert Rodriguez is making a big deal out of the fact that his movie “Spy Kids 4” with Jessica Alba, is featuring what he calls Aromascope. Each moviegoer is handed a card with a numbered set of smells. At certain points in the plot they’re instructed to scratch and sniff an appropriate odor. Kids will probably be charmed by this attraction. What Rodriguez keeps forgetting to mention is the fact that John Waters pioneered this technique in 1981 in ”Polyester,” which featured scratch n’ sniff Odorama. Polyester starred Divine and Tab Hunter – all this on a $300,000 budget! Those old Odorama cards have become highly collectible, by the way. Let’s give credit where credit is due! (FYI- back in the 70’s, Divine was between movies and applied for a job as cashier in our clothing shop on Sunset Strip. We were afraid he’d scare away the customers and turned him down. In retrospect, we should have given him a chance.)

Bristol Palin John Waters Levi Johnston

JOHN WATERS HAS HIS EYE ON BABY DADDY LEVI JOHNSTON

You don’t have to feel sorry for Levi Johnston – the teenage father of Bristol Palin’s unborn baby – because suddenly his mundane life is bursting with opportunities! John Waters has contacted Levi because he wants him to appear in his next movie. What his future mother-in-law will think about that, we don’t know. But sometimes it pays to be an illegitimate father.

Beautification John Waters Make up Melanie Griffith Tattoos

JOHN WATERS SAYS MELANIE GRIFFITH KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT

Who knew that Melanie Griffith and John Waters were so fond of each other? John and Melanie have been friendly since she starred in his movie “Cecil B DeMented” in 2000, and she described him as “one of the twenty great film makers alive today.” Recently, John told Sara Stewart at the NY Post that he had been thinking about getting his pencil thin mustache tattooed on, but Melanie advised him not to. “She said she had something tattooed on and it didn’t last.” It’s just funny to imagine John Waters getting beauty tips from Melanie Griffith. We wonder if Michael Jackson is still getting his eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips tattooed on.

John Waters Josie Cotton

JOSIE COTTON TO JOHN WATERS: JOHNNY ARE YOU QUEER?

JosieJohncutJosie Cotton, who sang the beloved 80’s anthem “Johnny, Are You Queer?” has been out of the limelight for awhile, but now she’s back with a new CD “Invasion Of The B-Girls.” (It’s a collection of songs from her favorite B movies like “Beyond The Valley of the Dolls“) Since director John Waters included “Johnny, Are You Queer?” on HIS album “A Date With John Waters,” Josie asked him if he’d appear in her new video. To everyone’s surprise, Waters not only said NO, but he implied that Josie copied an idea of HIS. Is he getting grumpy in his advancing years? Josie didn’t take it personally – she still admires Waters and will forge ahead without him.
