Don't Worry, Be Happy.



The Aging Disco Diva is a bit blue.... my beloved Wildcat men's basketball season is over. We fought the good fight and I am proud of how hard the team played; though a bit disappointed with the brain-dead reaction from some of our so-called fans. As you might have surmised the team lost this evening.

When I need some cheering up I have a small group of video titles that just make me smile or laugh. Here are some scenes from my favorite funny movies:

Airplane!




Princess Bride



O Brother Where Art Thou?




This is Spinal Tap



Anything directed by Christopher Guest



Coming to America (Eddie Murphy is such a dick in real life, but great in this movie)



Anything directed by John Waters (The Aging Disco Diva is one sick puppy)



The Addams Family and Addams Family Values




Ruthless People (I've watched it probably close to 100 times and still laugh)




Young Frankenstein---IMHO the funniest movie ever created. period.






My Cousin Vinny









Lady Wildcats play in the first round of the NCAA tournament tomorrow at 11:00am Kansas time.

"Fix You" --Frank Martin's Version

More Wildcat Highlights





The Aging Disco Diva is still pumped about last night's big game; here is another highlight video discussing/showing the great NCAA first round Wildcat victory:






How appropriate to watch this video created back in November once again....thank you Coach Frank Martin for "fixing us" If you are not a member of the Wildcat Nation you probably will not understand the depth of the pain and anguish that was felt when Huggins left us like the jilted bride at the alter (and our "groom" attempted to steal the whole damn wedding party)



When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse?

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you






I will be posting again later on today with my usual gossip tidbits and this week's gratuitous Eva Mendez pics!

Oh How Sweet It Is!!




It's good to be a Wildcat fan











I am sure there will be more videos up in the morning. I will include as many as I can find...and of course since it is Friday that means gratuitous Eva Mendes Day





I think Jon Stewart and Larry Wilmore are hysterical and I encourage everyone to watch The Daily Show show. Jon makes fun of everyone...much like the Aging Disco Diva!

The elephant has left the building and the Aging Disco Diva can bask in the glow of a big, big, big, big Kansas State University Men's basketball win this evening:









(11) Kansas State 80 --- (6) USC 67



Kansas State's Kiddie Corps Moving On

By PAUL NEWBERRY


Turns out, Michael Beasley and O.J. Mayo weren't the only freshmen on the court.

Redshirt freshman Bill Walker scored 22 points, true freshmen Jacob Pullen and Ron Anderson also reached double figures, and Kansas State's Kiddie Corps moved on in the NCAA tournament, beating Mayo-led USC 80-67 in the opening round Thursday night.

Beasley overcame early trouble to have another big game for the Wildcats (21-11), scoring 23 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for the 27th double-double of his brilliant — and likely only — college season. The NBA beckons, after all.

But 11th-seeded Kansas State is used to big things from Beasley. It was his supporting cast that made the difference.

Walker carried the load in the early going, scoring 17 in the first half and hitting a dagger of a 3-pointer in the closing minutes. Pullen, a lightning-quick guard, scored 11 points and doled out five assists. Anderson, averaging only 3.1 a game, scored 10 and grabbed eight rebounds to help the Wildcats dominate the boards.

And don't forget yet another Kansas State freshman. Dominique Sutton stuck to Mayo like a nagging cold, helping limit USC's freshman star to 6-of-16 shooting. Mayo, who signaled his intentions by wearing NBA socks, scored a couple of late baskets to reach 20 points but it didn't matter.

Beasley put off his expected jump to the pros for at least one more game. The Wildcats moved on to face either No. 3 seed Wisconsin or No. 14 Cal State Fullerton in the second round Saturday.

Lord, Please Make Her Go Away




The Aging Disco Diva is now convinced that Heather Mills is a walking, talking case of celebrity clap...you are not sure where you caught it, but it is the really nasty kind that is resistant to all known antibiotics and you just can't get rid of it. Dear Lord, what is it going to take to make her go away?




A Boil on the Arse of the World

HEATHER Mills isn't satisfied with her $48.6 million divorce settlement from Paul McCartney she has been "calling around British magazines and television shows to sell her exclusives." One insider said Mills is demanding 1 million British pounds - or slightly more than $2 million - to not only talk, but share intimate photos and tape recordings she made of the ex-Beatle without his knowledge. Mills is also said to be pitching to American networks.


Well, a girl just can't be expected to live on a measly $49 million dollars! Let's hawk pictures of Beatrice's daddy, I am sure someday she will appreciate her mommy's efforts to maintain the lifestyle to which mommy has grown accustomed to...and damn to hell any consequences for the child.





One More Reason Not To Watch The Miss Meat Show

Access Hollywood has confirmed that Mills will be a judge for the Miss USA pageant this spring. The Trump-owned pageant will air on NBC, live from Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on April 11.



Well isn't that just special? If she disagrees with her fellow judges will she dose Donnie and Marie Osmond with water (or if she is feeling particularly peckish some type of inflammatory liquid?) I can see The Donald's logic is acquiring her services....who better to advise the potential winners about the ins and outs of posing for cootchie porn--I mean "educational" photos?




Because if you lose your reputation, you lose everything....

Heather Mills has bizarrely posted old messages of support from Hillary Clinton and Sir Richard Branson on her personal website. The former model, has made a desperate bid to salvage her tarnished reputation by re-launching her personal internet site with dated tributes to herself.

In one message, Hillary - who is currently bidding to become the next US President - praises Heather’s charity work. Hillary said: “God bless Heather Mills… for the person she is and the work she does for all of us. I have been inspired by her vital charity work.” However, the clip was filmed in 2002.... Branson’s tribute is believed to have been made almost a decade ago.

The 40-year-old - who has removed all photos of Paul from the website - also added a personal message following her divorce settlement on Monday (17.03.08). Heather said: "I am so happy and relieved that this divorce has finally been settled and I am delighted with the overall outcome as I feel as if a great weight has been lifted."




Well Heather, if all else fails you can use some of your winnings and buy some positive testimonials. I bet Gary Coleman would give you a good word (if the money is right)





I stumbled upon a columnist from the UK who not only shares the Diva's opinion of the Harpy from Hell....she even came up with better ways of describing the shrew. Here are some excerpts from her column yesterday:

Heather Mills is only fooling herself

Jan Moir, Telegraph.co.uk

12:10am GMT, 19/03/2008

On the pavement outside the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday, Heather Mills finally unraveled in front of the world. Her eyes rolled like a crazy foal's. Her scattergun mouth moved too quickly for her brain to keep up."He got everything he wanted!" she cried. "No one wants to see me doing well!" As the treacherous incantation continued, her thin lips twitched and spooled, giving vent to the Geordie-accented fury that could not be placated by a £24 million payout, plus extras.

It was a horrible sight, like watching a pair of pink worms doing the tango while hooked up to some malign electric current. Fzzzzzt! Step away from the cage when the lady is in this crazy mood.

Sadly, Heather's spewing mental ugliness and vaunting self-interest have become a part of our cultural landscape over the past year or so. In the background, the great, empty prairie of her delusion stretches to the horizon and beyond.

Saint Heather of the Downtrodden would be funny if she were not quite so toxic, and is particularly odious when continually citing her "charity" work as a justification for everything she does and says.

As Heather apparently sees it, she should be the Britannia on our coins, the vegetarian flame of justice, the tireless campaigner for good deeds in dark corners.

Since the day she met Sir Paul McCartney, she has carefully camouflaged her own ambition with altruism, but if she is still fooling anyone, it can only be herself.

Heather Mills has traveled a long, hard road to this moment of utter public humiliation. She has obfuscated, exaggerated, lied and lied again without caring for the feelings of others. The tragedy is that she truly is a remarkable woman - just not in the way that she thinks.


Saint Heather of the Downtrodden...oh that is so snarky, so rude and so uncalled for...I friggin' LOVE it and am kicking myself for not having come up with it first.

The elephant in the room




We will ignore the elephant in the room today. People who think that their actions somehow control the fate of the whole world are thought of as megalomaniacs. Since I KNOW my actions control the fate of the world I am not a megalomaniac...I am just powerful and must be very careful not to inadvertently jinx my beloved Wildcats this evening. So we will not speak of that which must not be spoken of.... let's just say



GO WILDCATS!!!!!!!
