Dixie Chicks front woman Natalie Maines threw a Halloween party at her home in Los Angeles and guess who showed up? Go on…..guess. If you guessed George Bush, you are sadly wrong, although that would have been a sight to see. If you guessed Michael Jackson, you must have cheated, but kudos to you anyway. He would have been one of the last people I thought would show up at a Halloween party since he is such a recluse. With Michael Jackson being a popular way to dress up for Halloween how can one be sure it’s the real one. I believe that is why the DJ at the party pulled out the tried, tested and true ‘Thriller Test.’ Only the real Michael could breeze flawlessly through the zombie dance sequence. Why is this news relevant? Well for one, Natalie is a local Austin home owner. And secondly, and quite frankly more importantly, it seemed like a great segue to link to this video that I can’t get enough of, of Mayor Will Wynn doing a portion of the thriller dance.

A-list actor Stephen Baldwin

Actor, Reality Star, and Born-again Christian, Stephen Baldwin has been spotted in Austin (at the Starbucks downtown according to the Austin Star Map celebrity spotting page).  He’s in town to partake in the AsSALT tour which is happening at PromiseLand Church on East 51^st St. this weekend. I think I just may be putting the emphasis on the wrong syllables when I read the name of the tour.   The event’s website is littered with descriptive words such as ‘Radical’, ‘Extreme’, ‘Hardcore’, which are all the things I think of when I hear the name Stephen Baldwin.  If you read Stephen’s Bio on his website, which I’m sure he wrote himself, he allegedly is one of the best and busiest actors, as well as one of the most sought-after male talents in film.  I’m sure he just keeps on turning down these amazing scripts, because he has much better things to do, like appear on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump, and Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge, and ‘Insert any other celebrity reality program here.’
