HEY...IS THIS THE CAMERA BUTTON...?


Looking over some recent emails (keep those emails coming to: houseofh2o@gmail.com) it hit me- HEY I SHOULD PROVIDE WEBSITES TO YA'LL.

Check out the beautiful Jahna at:

 www.thejahnasteele.com  I'm on the way to some joint called E String Bar & Grill for a party celebrating Jahna's life. Man, I wish she were here to go with me.

On a lighter note, the multi-talented JASON HEWLETT can be found at, (where else?)- www.celebrityimpersnator.net  Check out my man Jason. He did the Ricky Martin thing-live on the Legends stage, then, ran back and dressed as Elton, returning to play and sing ' Croc Rock' so well that nobody in the audience knew he did both. Remember the name: Jason Hewlett!

Is BOB ANDERSON the best? Yup. Still is, but even Bob has an eye (and ear) on young Jason.
I'll be reviewing Bob Anderson backed by Vinnie Falcone & Co., in LA and Palm Springs with Jack Jones. Check out the LA Reviews website for the 411.

  Check for new blogs about sexual fantasies. I've been listening to way too much "Cocktails With Patrick" (the GREATEST voice on radio today, even if it is Serius Cosmo, man, he has the coolist DJ voice ever!). 

Do you know JOHN BARROWMAN? What a super-cool singer! Check out his version of LaCage's "I Am What I Am," on YouTube as it is the very best ever. What a great talent. I hate him...I'm just sayin'. http://m.youtube.com/warning?next=details%253Fv%253DBdSszlp8aVQ   

I wrote reviews of "Jumper" (only 3 stars but I dug it) and "In Bruses" (4 stars and it is off da hook!).

Until next time...

"Keep the baby, Faith."

JAHNA


Jahna Steele was a great person. And I do mean great. How few of us find the strength to truly stand up and say, "I AM WHAT I AM!"

Jahna, born John, passed away a few weeks ago. The 49 years spent on this earth must have seemed like a thousand, or at least that's what she told me, several years ago, last night, when we were young. She had Jan Carl and the Entertainment Tonight crew following her and, as she and I had decided to do a book-a real book-on her life, I was spending a lot of time with her. Late nights fueled by ambition and other substances, she and I ended up "live" on the BUCK HUNTER TV SHOW, broadcast from midnight to three from the Gold Coast here in Las Vegas. She had gone into my closet and selected a black suit (my very best Armani) and a great-looking tie that would look appropriate with her gown. Just before we went on, I remember her putting a bit of concealer under my eyes, the both of us laughing at having been up for 36 hours straight. 

Straight! Ha. Then, straight into:

"Those fingers in my hair..."

I had to open the duet. as Sinatra had done on his 'Duets,' sharing the Cy Coleman song with Anita Baker. And so, Jahna and I, after singing along in my home studio, burned the track and went on the show. 

After the song, we went onto the panel and I ended up kind-of interviewing her. The next day, we had an offer to host an early morning radio show. (The money was actually OK, it was the hour that was the deal-killer). 

I am reaching out to Adolph or Buck Hunter himself as I sure would like to add that video here to House of H2O.

"It's such an ancient pitch: One I would never switch..."

There was nobody who ever "got me" like Jahna.

Serius Sinatra is seriously fun

so here's what i don't get-Serius Sinatra (75 for those of you playing at home) has great tunes, plenty of classic Frank and some pretty rare tunes, too, as well as GREAT singers including my friends KENNY COLEMAN and KENNY RANKIN. But (and this is the proverbial big butt) the programs hosted by Lainie Kazan, and even to a lesser degree Nancy Sinatra, are poorly researched and the intros are an afterthought. I hosted a nationally syndicated Sunday With Sinatra with super-producer TONY ANZALDO and every word we said on air was thought out and accurate. Little wonder FRANK SINATRA himself was a kind of fan of the show and taped a promo for me.

so, yes, keep the music playing, but, come on, come on, come on, come on and get it right...please...for Frank's sake!!!
