Musical Monday

Let's swing a little bit on this Musical Monday, shall we? One of my favorite songs of all time is "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". It may even be responsible for my picking up trumpet in the first place. Who knows? Anyway, enjoy The Andrews Sisters singing this signature hit of theirs.

FYI...this version is from the Abbott & Costello movie Buck Privates

Eye Candy 12/13

Female Hottie: Ashley Greene

Ashley Greene is best known for her role as Alice Cullen in the Twilight franchise of movies. Aside from that she has done mostly second-rate, direct to DVD horror films. Bad career choices aside, she is a beautiful woman, and is more than worthy of this spot.

Male Hottie: Benjamin Bratt

Benjamin Bratt has been melting women's hearts for quite some time. Last I heard, he was starring in some show on A & E called The Cleaner, but his career has spanned numerous movies, including Miss Congeniality, Love in the Time of Cholera, and that abysmal insult, Catwoman. I believe he returns or returned to Law & Order this season, as well.

Random Hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock is riding high right now with what critics are calling the best performance of her career in The Blind Side. Aside from that drama, she has appeared in mostly romantic comedies throughout her career, most recently The Proposal (which earned her this spot). I've always been a fan of Sandra and look for more of her work in the future.

MILF: Thandie Newton

Thandie Newton is one of those actresses in Hollywood that you see, but never know her name. Did you even realize that she was in The Chronicles of Riddick, Mission Impossible II, 2012, or Crash? If you did, I bet you didn't know her name. I know I didn't. This waif thin British actress is the mother of two girls. Hard to believe looking at her, right?

Classic/Retro Hottie: The Andrews Sisters

During WWII, the Andrews Sisters' music kept both the country and soldiers abroad going. These 3 extremely talented singing sisters biggest hit was "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", a song still played to this day. This is proof that the sisters' legacy has been everlasting. Patty Andrews, the lead singer, is the only living member.
