My Top 5 Obsessions This Week

Happy holidays to all of my semi-constant readers. This is a season of joy for many reasons . Great food, Christmas specials and a great holiday album. Here are some of my favs. 

1) I was recently at an Andy Cohen interview and book signing at The Castro Theater. He was a very entertaining and charming interview sipping tequila while promoting his new book"Superficial". I am very excited to read this over the holidays.

2)  My newest binge watch this season is "Search Party" with a wonderful cast featuring Alia Shawkat and a hilarious group of self absorbed twenty-somethings trying to solve a mysterious disappearance of a former classmate. Many great cameos like Christine Ebersole, Rosie Perez and Parker Posey round a comic ensemble.

3)  A Pentatonix Christmas featuring cool classics like White Christmas, Up on The Housetop and Hallelujah is a must buy this season to brighten up any festive occasion.

4) One non holiday standout is The Weeknd's new release " Starboy" . A double album full of hits with collaborations with Daft Punk. I feel it Coming and the title track Starboy are sure to be big hits and there is a wide range of sound and style reminiscent of Michael Jackson.

5) Hairspray Live An all star cast featuring Sean Hayes, Harvey Fierstein, Kristin Chenoweth and newcomer Maddie Baillio. Bright vivid sets and the music we know and love make this the best addition to the growing number of live musicals on tv.
