John Waters Actress Kim McGuire, Of “Hatchet-Face” Fame, Dies At 60

kim-mcguire

Let’s take some time to pause and remember the great, wonderful, strange actress Kim McGuire, who passed away at 60 from cardiac arrest this week. Though her name isn’t exactly household, you might recall her as Mona “Hatchet-Face” Malnorowski in the John Waters movie Cry-Baby, where she mugged and grinned was all-around amazing opposite Johnny Depp.

According to her husband, Kim came down with serious pneumonia a few days ago, and after a brief hospital stay she passed away.

Aside from her memorable role in the John Waters film, Kim was an accomplished attorney. She studied law prior to acting, but when she was cast in Cry-Baby she just had to see where the role would lead. She played, as John Waters put it, a “girl with a good body and an alarming face who is proud of it.”

Following cry-baby, she was cast as the lead in Misery, but the role eventually went to Kathy Bates — who was no slouch herself. She went on to play small roles in Serial Mom and on the show Dream On. She also appeared in the otherworldly David Lynch sitcom On the Air, which is hard to find but worth the watch.

As roles were hard to find, she switched to practicing law, and met her longtime partner Gene Piotrowsky. The couple was hit hard by financial difficulties after 9/11, and after moving to Mississippi, they were left homeless after Hurricane Katrina. That was followed by a move to Alabama, where she and Gene lived for years.

A GoFundMe has been set up by one of Gene’s coworkers to help the family.

The First Trailer for Tom Ford’s ‘Nocturnal Animals’ is Here – WATCH

The First Trailer for Tom Ford’s ‘Nocturnal Animals’ is Here – WATCH

nocturnal animals

The first trailer for Nocturnal Animals, the second feature from designer and director Tom Ford, has just been released.

The film stars Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Adams and Gyllenhaal play a divorced couple who discover dark truths about each other and themselves.

More from IndieWire: 

Amy Adams stars as a Los Angeles artist in the middle of a creative crisis. She receives a manuscript from her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal) despite not having spoken to him in nearly 19 years. The story he has written details a bloody crime committed by a band out outlaws against a family of three, and it’s a story Adams’ character quickly believes is an act revenge. As the two stories unfold, Ford spins a wicked tale of past and present choices.

Wrote The Hollywood Reporter after the film premiered in Venice,

David Lynch meets Alfred Hitchcock meets Douglas Sirk in Nocturnal Animals, a sumptuously entertaining noir melodrama laced with vicious crime and psychological suspense, which more than delivers on the promise of A Single Man, writer-director Tom Ford’s first foray behind the camera seven years ago.

Nocturnal Animals will hit select theaters on November 18 and open nationwide on December 6.

Watch the trailer, below.

Harry Reid Rips Trump, Calls Him ‘a Human Leech Who Will Bleed the Country’ – WATCH

Harry Reid Rips Trump, Calls Him ‘a Human Leech Who Will Bleed the Country’ – WATCH

Harry Reid Trump

Citing a Kurt Eichenwald Newsweek article about the Trump organization’s foreign business ties, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) ripped into Donald Trump on the Senate floor on Thursday, calling him “a notorious con artist” only trying to help himself.

“If given the opportunity, Donald Trump will turn America into a big scam, just like Trump University,” Reid said.

Reid then talked about the awful things the manager of Trump University has said about the company.

“Trump has been ripping off people for a long long time,” Reid added. “The list of people cheated by Donald Trump is a mile long at least – glass company in New Jersey, a children’s singing group, real estate brokers – plural, plumbers, painters, dishwashers and many, many more – they all got fleeced by this so-called billionaire Trump.”

Reid said Trump hires lawyers to defend him in the scam lawsuits and often rips them off as well.

“He’ll do anything to make a buck for himself….Let’s be clear about Donald Trump. He’s a spoiled brat, raised in plenty, who inherited a fortune and used his money to make more money and he did a lot of it by swindling working men and women. Why would he change as president? The answer is simple. Trump won’t change. He’s asking us to let him get rich scamming America.”

Then Reid talked about what happened yesterday in Flint, Michigan:

“He goes to Flint, Michigan where people are desperate for help. He goes to an African American church and what does he do? He just starts ranting about how horrible Hillary Clinton is. It was so bad that the woman who runs the church had to come up and say ‘stop, you’re not here to do this.’ And he stopped. And this morning he said there was obviously something wrong with her mentally.”

Finally, Reid concludes:

“Trump is a human leech who will bleed the country and sit at his golf resort laughing at the money he has made, even though working people have been hurt and ruined.”

Ariana Grande joined Ellen this week to talk about her VMAs performance in which she sang while riding on a fitness bicycle.

“It was definitely tiring but I was like, ‘You know what? it’s worth it. I need to be on a bike’. So I committed to it, stuck with it, had the idea of the bike thing the first time I heard Nicki’s verse and she says the phrase, um, ‘dick bicycle’ and the idea was born and I really committed to it.”

Interjects Ellen: “What?”

“She has a lyric in the song, she says ‘dick bicycle’,” explains Ariana.

“What does that mean?”

“You know, uh,” says Ariana.

“Mmmm-mmm,” Ellen volleys back, shaking her head. “I really don’t. I think I’m down with it, but what does that mean? Is that like a banana seat?”

Anti-LGBTQ Rallies Throughout Mexico Protest President’s Pro-Marriage Equality Proposal

Anti-LGBTQ Rallies Throughout Mexico Protest President’s Pro-Marriage Equality Proposal

Hundreds of thousands of anti-LGBTQ protesters marched through major Mexican cities last weekend. Rallies took place in cities such as Guadalajara, Chiapas, Pueblo and others.

The protesters are displeased with President Enrique Pena Nieto’s proposal to legalize marriage equality throughout Mexico. While Mexico City and several states already have marriage equality, most states in the country do not.

In an attempt to halt the continuing momentum for marriage equality in Mexico, The Guardian reported that about 40,000 protesters converged in the city of Queretaro to protest.

In the city of Celaya, a picture of a solitary 12-year-old boy with a gay uncle went viral. He single-handedly attempted to stop 11,000 marchers by standing with his arms outstretched in the middle of the street.

The protests were organized by a Catholic organization to demand a constitutional ban on marriage equality and several priests were seen taking part in them, including an archbishop in Tijuana.   

Other cities such as Monterrey saw counter-demonstrators who called for marriage equality. On Monday, LGBTQ rights activists and allies marched to Mexico City’s Metropolitan Cathedral to protest the weekend’s anti-marriage equality demonstrations.

In 2015, Mexico’s Supreme Court issued a series of rulings, which constituted the de facto legalization of marriage equality and rendered laws restricting marriage to different-sex couples as unconstitutional. However, the ruling did not require states to change their statutes and most state legislatures have yet to comply and explicitly permit same-sex marriages. In yet some other states, LGBTQ people have won the right to marriage through the courts.  

On the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOT) this year, President Nieto submitted an official proposal to Congress to allow marriage equality. The proposal is currently stalled in Congress where it would need the support of two-thirds of members to pass.
