New Mexico has no shortage of talent and this lovely lady is an exceptional example of that rule.
I know, I know – another beautiful New Mexican, but beauty is just one of her attributes.
On the catwalk, in front of the lens, under the lights or signing, this model, actress, interpreter is Diana Gaitiria and we’d be remiss not to take notice.
Tonight at Malarky’s, Slow Burn “Albuquerque’s Ultimate Party Rock Band” take the stage for a second night bringing “booze, babes, raffles, prizes & auctions” together with the raucous clang of hard rock topped off with the sweetness of triumph over adversity.
The sexy ladies of the Duke City Darlins join Slow Burn in this one of a kind event where the music and good times are the passion play aiming to slam the lid on “intimate partner domestic violence”.
Join them to raise funds and awareness for S.A.F.E. House New Mexico, who “provide temporary shelter, services, and education for women and their children who are in a state of crisis as a result of physical, sexual, emotional or economic abuse, and to assist in developing other services to meet related needs of women as the Association may see fit in the future.”
It’s been a long time since Demi Moore was a but a child from Roswell New Mexico. She’s experienced quite the trajectile ride from Area 51 to center stage/screen, global dogooding, to gyrating on rappers and her youthful hubs.
But something the Dems ain’t done es una película de Nuevo México. Yes, from the time she absconded to and conquered La, la land, to her infamous purchases of small town America and commendable humanitarian efforts…N. Mex hasn’t seen much of ‘er.
Let’s git’ wit Mrs. Kutcher (@mrskutcher) and ask her when she’s coming home, who does she want for her home state’s first Governess, when she’s gonna make a flick here, etc., etc.
Because we is good people – from So. Nem. to North 40 and everywhere in-between, whose booming film industry could really use a boost from her wattage – a little love from the Roswellian could result in more j-o-b-s which she could help parlay in to more philanthropic ways from we her neglected homies.
Before you hate on me (y’all didn’t even know she did half this stuff till I tol’ you) for bein’ hater I ain’t hatin’ I’m just callin’ a sister back home.
The Dems is currently betwixt Chi-town, Motor City and Gay Paree shooting the sure to be cinematic gold LOL: Laughing Out Loud with Miley Cyrus (who filmed her BIG Hannah Montana movie in her home state of Tennessee…hmmmm).
Maybe Dems, Kutch and the affable Willis can star in the sure to be remade Threesome, N. Mex Style…a.k.a. two slabs of beef with extra cheese!
And p.s. if Moore has any trouble finding us…NPH can show her the way
Oscar winner Ryan Bingham and The Dead Horses Band release Junky Star today.
Here’s what the Washington Post had to say about the NM native:
“Junky Star, also produced by [T-Bone] Burnett, isn’t the showy, big-budget career-solidifier it might have been; luckily, it’s precisely the sort of underplayed album Bingham might have made if his Hollywood detour had never happened.
Bingham wraps his hoarse, well-worn voice — the aural equivalent of Marlboros and Levis 501s — around a collection of barroom folk songs that, musically and thematically, cast back to vintage Dylan and, more specifically, “Nebraska”-era Springsteen.” – Allison Stewart
…back from seeing ‘The Switch’ I give it 3 outta 4 stars. It was good, kinda reminded me of ‘The Object of My Affection’ w/out the gay.
The story line was pretty good. Jen did a good job & Jason did a great job.
The middle of the movie lacked something, kinda got slow. Jeff G. scared me playing the sidekick/father figure/d…irty old man – couldn’t figure it out. It is a semi romantic comedy, so see it if you have the time.
Just five bucks gets you in for food, music, dance and some of the Q’s hottest entertainers!!! And there’s sure to be some spicy surprises in the audience – get into the Paparazzi! Presented by: Majico Entertainment
NM’s Own Jesse Tyler Ferguson x-planted to NYC joins the campaign for Marriage Equality. SPJTF (Sweet Precious Jesse…) swoons for Alec, a crush surely bloomed in his youth here watching our own seksi Alec Baldwin doppelganger on the local news…
This just in: News of the WORLD (well, my world anyway a.k.a. my Beloved Michael K.) reports that NM’s favorite son Neil Patrick Harris will soon take on yet another momentous role…that of DADDY!
The crack reporting (pi) that is Dlisted says (via E! News) that the actor/director/all around awesomeness that is NPH and his partner David Burtka will be the fathers of twin babies in just a matter of months via a surrogate.
Now take this third hand news and jump up & down with GLEE that such a wonderful dude will be passing down all his goodness, talent and more goodness to some blessed little ones!
Send your respectful congrats to our Hommie on Twitter here!
(where he’s CONFIRMED the news his √Verified self)
Reviews are pouring in for this weekend’s directorial debut of NM’s Own Neil Patrick Harris. NPH took his very own production of RENT to the Hollywood Bowl with a mixed bag of talents and we’re hearing he churned out a performance worthy of the original.
From his ABQ roots performing at Musical Theatre Southwest straight through to his Emmy nominated run on the CBS hit series How I Met Your Mother Harris holds steady as on of NM’s brightest stars.
Besides his directorial duties, dogooding and his t.v. gig NPH will be back on the big-screen in 2011 (in 3D no less) when he reprises his stint in the Harold & Kumar movie series in A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas!
Also in 2011 he lends his zexy voice to the 3D animated film Smurfs and next month he will haunt the lives of evil doers as the voice of The Amazing Spiderman in the video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
The beautiful and talented Tisha Campbell-Martin was recently spied arriving in the Q, landing on the same flight from CA as our own Lady Viking.
We’ve learned that TCM is here to star as Miss Reznick in the ongoing New Mexico shoot of Disney’s Lemonade Mouth AND NM’s Own very beautiful and talented SKM, the one and only Sandi K. Murphy will grace the set landing the plum spot as TCM’s stand-in, at least for today.
Stand-in work rocks! We love our Sandi and we’re so proud she’ll be rockin’ her professionalism and experience on set in this exciting new production!
Go Sandi! And welcome to the Land of Enchantment Mrs. Martin.
Another dogooding, talented slab of gorgeousness, a.k.a. NM’s Own Actor/Comedian/Writer/Producer/Director extraordinaire, Steven Michael Quezada is hosting a budding actors’ showcase on August 1 at Albuquerque’s historic Wool Warehouse.
Trouble, the multimedia performance will combine film and theater created by the talented young people of Youth Development Inc.
“Please help me change Kid’s lives! It’s FREE all you have to give is a few hours of your time to watch what they have come up with. They will be combining Film with Theater and they have worked very hard so show them that it matters!” – Steven Michael Quezada
And later in the week, strictly for the grown-ups:
≠Breaking ≠news: Yesterday an arrogant, ignorant blow-hard made an arrogant, ignorant comment re: one of New Mexico’s Own, NFL linebacker Brian Urlacher.
Today the arrogant, ignoramus retracts/explains his stupid remark:
“During a segment about myself being named one of the “blackest white folks we know” by the Web site theroot.com, I made a few comments about some others on the list. Now, I know absolutely nothing about sports, so I didn’t realize that one of them was NFL star Brian Urlacher.
“Since then, I have been informed by my staff that Brian — uh, Mr. Urlacher — could kill me with his thumb in nine seconds if he wanted to. Although if we are talking about people in Chicago wanting to beat me up, he’s going to have to stand in a very long line.
“Anyway, I apologize to anyone who was offended. I just made a neo-Nazi jokebased on the short hair and white skin; I don’t actually think he has fascist plans to take over the Earth.” – Beck to The Chicago Tribune
Way to perpetuate H8 and stereo-types Becks! {sads}

If you’re not working, auditioning or volunteering mañana perhaps you can take the scenic drive (aren’t they all) over to San Miguel County to ☮ peacefully support Ma Huckleberry in his bid to use his own damn property in any damn way he sees fit – (esp. when it WILL bring tourism to and promote NM) as it and he are dragged-out in front of the County Commish. + angry locals.
There’s this whole ☭ hullabaloo still a brewing over controversial remarks, “dangers” to the community, even racism, etc. etc. et ACLU.
Stop the H8 people. What is this really all about? I know racism, esp. when I’m often the only chocolate cookie on a plate of white bread sandwiches at the country club.
Some people love chocolate, other people give it the side-eye like it should be relegated to the kitchen or the nanny’s quarters (Camilla knows – For shame Harvey Levin staffers, that’s Camilla’s moms! Granny not Nanny).
Now these are incendiary remarks – this out of the mouths of babes (an angry, yet ~informed, diatribe of logorrhea that holds some valid points in its simple oft/sometimes offensive remarks) This Chicky is mad – but she knows how to spell freedom of speech.

If you’re going to find yourself in the Los Angeles area in the near future and you want to spend a magical night with NM’s Own Neil Patrick Harris, there’s still time to bid on a dinner for four at the famed Hollywood Magic Castle where you will be joined by NPH himself.
Current bidding stands at $2,500 with proceeds to benefit Project Angel Food, whose mission is “to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses. Volunteers and staff cook and deliver free and nutritious meals prepared with love throughout Los Angeles County, acting out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness do not wait.”
That may seem a little pricey being that it is at the high-end for average monthly income of most employed New Mexicans – but we’re sure NPH will get an even heftier haul from someone with beaucoup disposable cash and it’s so good to see our home boy giving back here, there and everywhere he can!
A picture is worth a thousand words but if you’re Julia Roberts it’s more like $20 mil. and she can do pretty much anything she wants. In this age of gratuitous reboot Julia Gulia has taken a stand and said pass to the poss. of a Pretty Woman part deux.
Jules was ~recently quoted as saying she’s “too old” to come back to the silver screen as everyone’s favorite hooker with a heart of gold.
But NM’s Own eternally gorgeous woman et al can relish a Romantic Comedy (Ro-co) at any age, frankly the more mature the better…that’s why waaay back in ’03 I myself penned an entire script around one of my fave Roberts Ro-cos.
And here’s the mock-up of the movie poster of our dream cast for the follow-up flick. Note the artistry in the head cropping, inspired by the original PW poster that was famously and similarly doctored.
As for the script, it is in whole form, filed away where it has been since it made its rounds to some Roberts-Moder representative in Taos then up to an NYC production co. who politely returned it to us non grata – WOW gotta love “the business”, even that was an exciting day at the ~office!
Well, if and when she’s ready the story in its entirety is here for her fait accompli – Jules, Mr. Marshall, Anybody, Anybody…
