Chexy's Saturday Matinee

It's a bird, it's a plane... it's Superman! Jimmy: "I don't want to get a ticket... I'm doing 35."



From 1949, "King of the Rocket Men," filmed in glamorous Studio City at Republic Studios.



What's going on between Miss Jensen and Molly's mother??



After watching the American Music Awards and thinking about how much it sucked, it made me want to hear some real singers... like Frank Sinatra, from his 1965 TV special "A Man and His Music." No herky-jerky dancing, no horde of backup dancers, no crotch grabs or same-sex kissing. Just Frank singing with a kick-ass band. One of my favorites, "Don't Worry 'Bout Me," is included in this clip, and the definitive version of Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick Out of You."

Camilla -- Blowin' in the Wind

HRH Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, was wind-tossed outside of BBC Radio in London on Wednesday.

This is how I like Camilla best... she looks ready for a picnic, a wine tasting... or a dopey sitcom.

Who can turn the world off with her smile?

Luxe and Tux

The First Lady was stunning at the Obamas' first State dinner -- in a sensational gown by India's Naeem Khan. And the President looked spiffy in a one-button black wool tuxedo with satin notch lapels, made by Hart Schaffner Marx, run by Mumbai-born Homi Patel.

The embroidery of thousands of tiny beads on Michelle's gown took 40 people more than three weeks to create at Khan's family plant in India.

Outsourcing complaints won't be heard here.
