Jamie Lee Curtis recalls how the iconic str!ptease scene in James Cameron's "True Lies" (1994) was filmed & her experience watching this scene with her dad, Tony Curtis in the theater:

"The thing that nobody knows [about the scene]: There was no rehearsal, there is no choreographer. Jim [Cameron] said to me, 'What do you want to dance to?'

It was when John Hiatt's Bring the Family album was out and I said, 'There's a song called 'Alone in the Dark' that has this really funky rhythm, And I said, 'I really like that song.' And that's what they played.

I don't think Jim had seen me in my underwear. We were doing it over and over and over, and it got quieter and quieter.

At one point, Jim walked up and he whispered in my ear, 'If I get a pad, will you let go of the pole?' I said, 'Sure.' So they just wheeled in a little thin mat, on the ground, and we did it again, and I let go."

The scene of her character Helen falling during the steamy dance garnered her "the single biggest laugh [she] will ever get in [her] life."

"It's because Jim knew that the dance was too sexy; it was too real, It started to actually be good, and he knew he needed to break the spell of what the husband had put his wife through. I think we did two takes where I let go of the pole.

[My dad Tony Curtis] was sitting next to me, in Westwood, at the big Fox Theater there, Thousands of people — and you know, it gets really quiet during that sequence, because it's a little sexy.

Then when [Helen] falls and then gets back up, oh my God! The place, it was a huge … because you're anxious. Then the laugh, and it's all Jim. To his great credit, it's all him. He knew, it's a comedy. It's a comedy."

Aqui as pussycat dolls foram artistas demais! Nunca que se imaginaria que uma versão live de BUTTONS poderia ser tão icônica quanto a original mesmo tendo elementos totalmente diferentes uma da outra.

E um detalhe aqui, COMO A NICOLE É SEXY! MEU DEUS!!!

And that Eric Bischoff part... 😂 😂

So sad to think she passed away just only a year later

[🚫👁️Drinks on Saturday🇺🇸 @drinkonsaturday]

Something is definitely different about Macey Lemus (@_skatewizard).

She's that 19-year-old Temecula ripper with Baker, Cons, Spitfire, Indy, and Mob on her board — and zero quit in her veins. Started skating at 12 because a crush told her she sucked, then turned the doubt into fuel.

Covid lockdowns? She owned the open parks.
No girls around? She became the one everyone notices.

Raw street style, heavy slams, instant get-ups, and that calm, punk-edged focus. Whether she's in a Baker battle, stacking in Skate Juice 4 b-sides, or charging spots most would bail on, Macey just keeps coming. Attitude, power, and heart — she's the next wave.

Watch her go.

This duo wrote this for Whitney Houston after "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody." Belinda Carlisle recorded it but passed, so they released it themselves. It became a hit in '88. Do you remember it or who sang it?
