Gay Hero Revealed to Be Nazi Super Baby

Are you sooo super jazzed to see Mamma Mia!, that Meryl Streep movie musical based on the Broadway show which is built, in ramshackle fashion, around a raft of ABBA songs? If you are you just might be a gay person. And we love you for it! But you know who wouldn't love you for it? Hitler. And you know who has ties to his Nazi party? Beebop band ABBA's own Frida Lyngstad. Time and circumstance came to reveal that she is the daughter of a Nazi officer who, along with many others, was spreading his seed around Norway in the hopes of creating a master race. Like this was an actual eugenics plan commissioned by Berlin. A new documentary on The Jewish Channel chronicles the story, a preview for which (via Radosh) is after the jump. More »

Graydon Carter Misses His Own Feast At The Waverly

Tonight the James Beard house is hosting a dinner at the Waverly Inn with ticket prices around $200. Basically this is for those rich in cash but poor in cachet who can't normally get a table in the somehow still exclusive diner. Part of the reward, other than the candy cane beets and arugula, was the chance to rub shoulders with the leonine eminence gris Graydon Carter, who is not only an owner but was also listed as one of the event's hosts. Sadly for those gourmand suckers, Mr. Carter shan't be attending. Something something about Father's Day and children, according to the PR firm.

Can Mia Tyler's Memoir Outshine This Press Release's Profundity?

Steven Tyler's daughter is writing her memoirs! No, sorry, not Liv. That other one. The plus size one who was on The Simple Life The Surreal Life! She's writing a book called Creating Myself for S&S's ladylit imprint Atria, and there is a press release about it that's not so much breathless as it is oxygen-deprived. The book will be a "deeply coming of age personal memoir!" But that's not all. It will also recount Mia's troubled past. "On the surface, Mia Tyler would seem to have been born into a fantasy life as the daughter of a rock star and a glamour girl. But Mia spent nearly 20 years as a trouble-filled youth." How Jerri Blank! We can't wait to read it.
