Recently Dead

Robert Hegyes, who played wisecracking Brooklyn high-school student Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein on the 1975-1979 ABC sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter, died yesterday from cardiac arrest at JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, where he was taken after suffering a heart attack at his home in Metuchen. He was 60. Although his Sweathog character on the popular series was a Puerto Rican Jew, Hegyes was actually of Hungarian and Italian descent. After the sitcom ended, he played Chico Marx in a national touring production of Groucho with his Kotter co-star Gabe Kaplan in the title role, and later was a recurring character on the ’80s police drama Cagney and Lacey. He also performed stand-up and tried his hand at writing screenplays.

I’m BEYOND excited about the big ODD fashion launch at Rasputin tomorrow night. Not only is New York nightlife legend Sophia LaMar going to be there as Imperial guest hostess, but – SQUEEEEEEAL – Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy is coming! I’m doing a Daily Freak Show, of course, but what should I ask? Can I see his rectal tattoos? I should also ask ODD-balls Bobby Webster and Judson Harmon just exactly what ODD is. All I could glean from their press release is that it’s “edgy, conceptual, fashion-forward design and thinking at a range of price points,” which makes me think that I WANT IT, but what could IT be? I guess I’ll have to wait until the fashion show, I suppose. See you there, it’s going to be FAGULOUS!

“From the start of my career, I’ve been naked. My first job was a commercial for SAS airlines. In the spot, I wake up in a pink room next to a beautiful blonde girl and get out of bed naked. From that point forward, it’s been in all of my contracts: He must be naked in this film.” – actor Michael Fassbender to W magazine on why it is he’s always nude. (See the SAS commercial here.)

I, a Dog

Kelsey Wynn’s beautiful short film, Dog Park, puts you right in the barking lot with the pups and lets you experience a typical dog day afternoon. Everything but the butt-smelling. (Vimeo via The DW)
