Been working on this for a while for Gr8erDays, my nostalgia site — a small series of videos in which I ask people 18-29 to tell me what (if anything) they know about various icons from the past, including some icons who are alive and well and working today!

If you wanna try these names out on your own millennial friends — or yourself! — here are the lists:

Video #1: Gone with the Wind, James Dean, Diana Ross, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Saturday Night Fever, Barbra Streisand, Marilyn Monroe

Video #2: Cher, George Michael, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Bette Midler, John Lennon, Madonna

First two just dropped. If you enjoy, please share video #1 and video #2 — and please subscribe.

Elizabeth Taylor has been gone over six years already, which is hard to fathom. Check out a piece I did over at Gr8erDays that gathers some never-seen pics of the legend during her middle age, when Joan Rivers and others were on her about her weight. She had the last laugh, regaining her physical beauty for a good long spell, and ultimately dying ater spending her post-sex symbol years as a fearless philanthropist and activist.

Trump once used a cringey pickup line on Brooke Shields, Rex Tillerson once called Trump exactly what he is, Cher's on the Trump-as-Marie-Antoinette train and there's a great new song and video featuring Jane Wiedlin.

Those items plus THAT pic of Sam Smith kissing his presumed new boyfriend, after the jump ...

Starting July 1, Sprinkles' Icon Series Elizabeth Taylor cupcakes will be not only the cause of weight gain and temporary joy, but will also be for the cause of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the charity, founded by the late movie star in response to the AIDS crisis.

Message to Trump:
Just because the nuclear option works for the filibuster, doesn't mean it'll work with North Korea. #Doomsday
