This how Adam Lambert looked while walking around New York this week and we couldn’t help being reminded of Liberace!

Michael Douglas is still set to play Liberace and Matt Damon is cast as his boyfriend Scott Thorson. (The script is based on Thorson’s book “My Life with Liberace.”) Continue reading ““BEHIND THE CANDELABRA” DOCUMENTS THE STORY OF SCOTT THORSON PULLING LIBERACE OUT OF THE CLOSET”

He WAS an iconic Las Vegas entertainer – as our mothers and aunts will attest to. When the museum opened in 1979, loaded with Liberace’s extravagant costumes Continue reading “IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT THE LIBERACE MUSEUM”
