PAUL REUBENS WAS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PEOPLE

I didn’t know that Paul Reubens was ill and when he suddenly died in 2023, I was devastated. And still am. Our relationship was a bit odd- we had mutual friends and many of the same interests -in mid-century modern items and architecture, vintage clothing, etc. We ran into each other at events and he Continue reading “PAUL REUBENS WAS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PEOPLE”

PAUL REUBENS : THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Monday morning – and another celebrity death. But this one REALLY hurt. Paul Reubens has been around since I started writing Hollywood gossip and he was always special.

PEE-WEE HERMAN WILL NEVER GET OLD!

Hollywood celebrities are NOT happy since most of the plastic surgery offices have closed down for nonessential procedures due to coronavirus. Social isolation would be the perfect time to recover from a facelift! There are some nurses making house calls with injectibles, but no liposuction or nose jobs are happening. Maybe Paul Reubens could offer Continue reading “PEE-WEE HERMAN WILL NEVER GET OLD!”

PEE WEE’S LAST ADVENTURE MIGHT BE HIS BEST

We saw Paul Reubens at Allee Willis’s memorial service last month and he’s as cute as ever. He certainly wasn’t done up as Pee Wee, but he wears wire rimmed glasses and he’s got style. SO nice to hear that he just might be bringing his much loved character Pee Wee Herman back in a Continue reading “PEE WEE’S LAST ADVENTURE MIGHT BE HIS BEST”

HEY KANYE – WE’D RATHER LOOK AT PEE WEE HERMAN’S SWEET FACE THAN YOURS, ANY DAY!

Just when the world (according to Kanye West) is looking grim, PEE WEE IS BACK! And back in a big way in Pee Wee’s Big Holiday available on Netflix March 18. Until we saw this trailer, we didn’t realize how MUCH we missed Paul Reubens’ sweet and colorful, vintage inspired humor. What a wonderful escape!
