J'ADORE MATRINXA!

We don't usually watch fishing videos, especially ones where men are NOT manhandling their big ol' rods, but this one is quite the exception!

Filmed in the Guapore region of Brazil on a section of the Mequens River, these men are catching a fresh water fish called Matrinxa (Brycon Cephalus).

Makes me want to go to Red Lobster!

J'ADORE NUCLEAR WINTOUR!

We were referred to this video last night by one of our most J'Adored little closet cases, Christopher Tennant of Radar Magazine. Personally, we think it's fun, but the editing leaves wanting more.

Does anyone else think that this video was an inside job by some bored intern at Getty Images? Note the stamp on all the photos.

In turn, we want you all to send us stories of your personal run ins with the Queen of Mean to Joey@JadoreJoey.com. We'll publish the most J'Adorable story by week's end.

J'ADORE CATFIGHT COMPILATIONS!

We don't even have to ask if you remember this shit from Dynasty. So, just sit back and J'Adore!

J'ADORE CHUMLEY'S!

At 86 Bedford Street between Grove and Barrow streets in Manhattan is found the most remarkable little place called Chumley's. Hidden behind an unmarked door that one would most likely miss if not forewarned, Chumley's is a restaurant, bar and former speakeasy which has been frequented by more prolific writers than probably anywhere else in New York City.

With two entrances, the other being through a non-descript archway at 58 Barrow Street, the speakeasy played host to Cummings, Kerouac, de Beauvoir, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Salinger and Steinbeck amongst countless other literary greats of the 2oth century.

Chumley's became the only place during prohibition for these authors to write, to discuss current events and to meet with their peers (all while imbibing in the forbidden spirits of the day).

As with many other speakeasies, the cops raided the joint quite frequently, but knowing quite well the clientele to whom Chumley's played host, the authorities would call Mr. Leland Stanford Chumley ahead of time in order to evacuate his guests through the 86 Bedford door as they raided through the 58 Barrow entrance.

Before the arrival of the police, Mr. Chumley would tell his select group of VIP guests to "86 it" while the rest of the establishment were arrested and taken away.

Needless to say (and I'm sure you all saw this coming), this tiny speakeasy is where we get the term "86" today. So, when you no longer want your appetizer, and you tell your waiter to "86 the salad", take a moment to remember all those poor drunk souls that spent many a night locked up in a downtown jailcell.

If you're ever in Manhattan, make it a point to stop by Chumley's for one of the best hamburgers in the city!

J'ADORE DIFFA!

One of our most favorite things to do every year is MAC's Viva Glam Casino which benefits DIFFA, the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS.

As is every year, tonight's event is hosted by supermodel Maggie Rizer, who lost her biological father to AIDS, and is inspired by the late Tina Chow's infamous Shanghai themed parties at Studio 54.

For more information on tonight's event and to make a donation to this very influential organization, please visit DIFFA!

J'ADORE HALONG BAY!

One of the things we J'Adore most about the very short 30 years we've spent on this earth is the very special circle of friends that have come into our lives. From journalists and CEOs to artists and lawyers, we are J'Adored by a group of amazing people.

One of these people is Douglas Friedman, the famed photographer who has captured some of the world's most breathtaking natural landscapes and architectural marvels. Douglas sent us the above nighttime photo of Vietnam's Halong Bay just last night, and we J'Adore it in a major way!

What we want to know is why Douglas was cruisin' the bay alone after sunset?

J'ADORE LE LAIT DE MAMAN!

Here's just a little something we thought you'd like to think about the next time you're toasting a newlywed couple or at the next stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve...

The shallow champagne glass originated with Marie Antoinette...
From wax molds made of her bare breasts!

CHEERS!!!

J'ADORE PHILATELIC FUCK UPS!

This is the kind of stuff that we live for over here at J'Adore Joey! It seems the Caribbean Islands of St. Kitts and Nevis once issued a two cent stamp commemorating the time when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and arrived in the Caribbean (or the New World as he had thought).

The stamp depicted a galant Columbus peering through a telescope presumably aboard the Nina, the Pinta or the Santa Maria.

Okay, here's where it gets good. Can anyone tell us what's wrong with this picture?

Give up?

Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492, but it wasn't until 1608 that the telescope was invented!!!

Please send us your favorite fuck ups to Joey@JadoreJoey.com.

J'ADORE CALIGULA!

Last night, we finally got to see Gore Vidal's Caligula! Can we talk about how hot it is! I haven't seen that much dick and pussy in a movie since The Da Vinci Load!

Anyway, if you haven't seen this 1979 epic movie produced by Bob Guccionie and directed by Tinto Brass, you're missing out.

J'ADORE WEEHAWKEN!

One of our most favorite views of New York City is from a quaint little town in New Jersey called Weehawken. We had the opportunity to visit Weehawken recently, and we took the above photo just before a severe storm blanketed the region. Notice the clouds creeping up over the skyline.

J'ADORE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS!

We love when celebrities use their fame and fortune for good. It seems a shame not to when you've been so blessed. This is why we were so excited when we heard that Christina Aguilera has found an organization to which she likes to contribute. Below, a quote from Xtina, about her charitable contributions.

"I give money to a company who makes hearing aids. More people should hear me sing."

And the world collectively J'Adores in gratitude!

J'ADORE BIG HAMBURGERS!

We don't know what came over us at today at the J'Adore Joey offices, but somehow we J'Adored ourselves all the way back to our childhood days when we would just sit in front of the TV sippin' on a cold one while suckin' on a warm one.

In turn, we remembered Grover as The Waiter. Please take this moment in time to relive the moment you wished you had a hamburger this size!

J'ADORE FLAMING RAINBOWS!

You all know how we at J'Adore Joey love our natural phenomenons, but even WE didn't know this shit happened somewhere in the world!

Ladies and J'adorables....let me introduce to you The Circumhorizon Arc, a.k.a. The Rainbow of Fire!

One of the rarest occurences in nature, the Rainbow of Fire appears when sunlight passes throug ice crystals in cirrus clouds that are at least 20,000 feet high. Not only do you need the light to pass through the crystals, but the crystals within the clouds must be aligned horizontally, instead of their usual vertical position. Not only that, but the sun needs to be at least 58 degrees above the horizon.

By sheer coincidence, those are also the qualifications needed for me to do my hair in the morning. How else do you think I get my gorgeous mane to the state its in??? Without the proper light shining down on me from 58 degrees above, I would look like Roseanne Barr!

J'ADORE WHAM! PART DEUX!

Okay, Bitches! We're about to take you to a place you probably haven't been to in a while....the East End of London circa 1988.

George Michael and Andrew Ridgely are furiously trying to sell the last two tickets to their show at Marquee (not the one in NYC obviously).

After countless attempts to unload the tickets, George runs into the club to call his tour manager to complain about the crap venue in which they've been booked.

Knowing that the show must go on, George and Andrew take to the stage and deliver a tour de force performance of I'm Your Man!

Please pay special attention to the skillfull use of the tambourine, to the hot little black leather gloves and to the subliminal sexual references towards the end.

Ladies and J'Adorables, we present to you.......WHAM!!!

J'ADORE ROSES!

The rose is the oldest domesticated flower known to man. Fossil remains indicate that it existed 35 million years ago. After the fall of the Roman Empire, rose cultivation was continued by Benedictine monks and, as the excesses of the Romas were forgotten, the flower became the emblem of Christianity.

J'adore THAT everytime you stop and smell the roses...

J'ADORE SEA MEN!

Fleet Week has come and gone, and once again, NYC collectively mourns. We had the pleasure of meeting three young sailors last week. They stopped to ask directions to Hogs & Heifers, but the little J'Adorable one on the far right looks more like he was trying to find The Cock. But we digress...

J'ADORE REVOLUTION IN THE AIR!

So you all know that we're NOT the biggest fans of Perez Hilton. All that self adoration and shameless narcissism should really be left to professionals like us.

But every now and then, he brings to light a little something that might have slipped by our all-encompassing omnipotence.

In this case, it's the UK's latest export, Sandi Thom. At first we hated it, but then after the first 23 seconds when the percussion kicked, we spewed our J'Adoremen all over her.

Join us as we give a big round of J'Adores to our latest J'Adoration...

J'ADORE THE HOFF!

As we all know, David Hasselhoff has been enjoying an extremely successful musical career in Germany, and we'll bet you anything that it is the Germans who are responsible for this innovative use of green screen technology.

We implore you to watch the entire video. Pay special attention to the scene where The Hoff realistically portrays a black crow soaring through the skies!

J'ADORE ALMOST HAVING IT ALL!

We don't know what's happening at the offices today, but we are having some crazy ass vintage diva moments! We're currently J'Adoring us some Whitney CRACKston!

DIDN'T WE ALMOST HAVE IT ALL? WHEN LOVE WAS ALL WE HAD WORTH GIVING? THE RIDE WITH YOU WAS WORTH THE FALL, MY FRIEND...
