What’s On TV Tonight At My House

Because my brain needs this & I’ve not seen it before in life, plus the only other thing on is football, & just no on that, for me. I hope everyone enjoys their evening pursuing whatever you pursue!

It’s From Surf to Turf Tonight- When the Gill Man Hits Land and “The Creature Walks Among Us!”

Posted on September 6, 2025

Tonight on MeTV- we kick off September with a film we haven’t run in a while-the final part of the Universal Gill Man trilogy! This conclusion to the saga of the strange amphibian missing link takes him several steps further up the evolutionary scale- as the aquatic terror unwillingly becomes an air-breathing denizen, dwelling on land, in “The Creature Walks Among Us”!

The story starts with us sharing a car ride with a wealthy couple -Dr. William Barton and his lovely wife Marcia. They’re headed to the docks to meet up, aboard their boat, with an expedition team they’ve assembled. It seems Barton has heard tales of the legendary Gill Man having survived his supposed demise down in the Everglades- and put together this team to see if the Creature is indeed alive- and if it can be captured! Among his crew- geneticist Tom Morgan, a couple biologists, and an arrogant young guide named Jed ( no, not Clampett). They set out to track down the Gill Man, but onboard tensions are already rising- Mrs. Barton is unhappy with her abusive and somewhat maniacal husband- and is having to combat the unwanted advances of Jed. That, along with some fundamental disagreements on the reason for capturing the Creature, creates an uneasy atmosphere that can – and will- only get worse! (snip-MORE)

Chloë Grace Moretz and Kate Harrison Got Married! See Their Non-Traditional Bridal Looks

The pair revealed their engagement earlier this year.

Moretz and her partner, Kate Harrison, were married in a private ceremony over the weekend, as they confirmed to Vogue. The magazine also published exclusive photos and videos of the couple’s final fittings. Rather than a traditional white gown, Moretz went with a pale blue number with elbow length opera gloves. “It just feels like me. It feels like an extension of what I would have always hoped for,” she told Vogue. The actor added that she “never really envisioned a wedding dress” in her mind, so when the time came to figure out her actual wedding look, she knew that she “wanted to do something non-traditional and not wear white and have it feel different.”

After the couple got engaged, Moretz told Vogue that she knew that she wanted to reach out to Nicolas Ghesquière, women’s creative director of Louis Vuitton, to ask if he would be interested in making her dress. He went a step further and made both Moretz and Harrison’s dresses, as well as their afterparty looks. Rather than going with another dress for the festivities, Moretz decided on a white cutout suit accessorized with a cowboy-esque hat. She explained to the magazine that the hat was partially inspired by the activities of the wedding itself — “fishing, horseback riding, and poker.” “Our second day is going to be line dancing and everything,” she added.

In an Instagram post, Moretz thanked Louis Vuitton and Ghesquière for the dress, writing, “Your generosity, artistry, dedication and kindness knows no bounds. We feel so incredibly grateful. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cut it, but, thank you. Your vision made our day all the more meaningful.”

Moretz casually came out as a “gay woman” in November 2024 via Instagram, when she shared that she had voted for Kamala Harris in the presidential election. But even before formally coming out, she’s been seen with Harrison for years, including in a 2023 Instagram post of the two of them at the New York City Dyke March. Per Cosmopolitan, the two have seemingly been linked since 2018, but they’ve kept their relationship very private. Still, we’re glad that we at least get a glimpse into what was surely a stunning wedding. Congrats to the newlyweds!

History-Making Alex Consani Gives BTS Tea of Latest Victoria’s Secret Shoot (Tucking Panties and All)

The brand also confirmed that Consani, a Victoria’s Secret Angel, will appear in this year’s fashion show.

Alex Consani confirmed that a tucking panty can be an Angel’s best friend.

The superstar model, who became the first trans woman to win Model of the Year in 2024, shared some behind-the-scenes footage from a recently released campaign with lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret on her Instagram on Tuesday. Alongside usual brand accoutrement, including the iconic angel wings, was another important accessory: a tucking panty.

“Cant stop smiling! So happy to have the opportunity to shoot with the baddest group of girls and the best team there is!” Consani wrote. “I’m so so so grateful!”

The carousel of images and selfies in the mirror featured Consani’s outfit for the day, group shots with her winged campaign colleagues, shots of her in the glam chair and raw footage from the shoot. The shoot celebrated “the first six angels hitting the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2025 runway,” according to the brand’s Instagram.

One shot featured the aforementioned Tuck Kit, a product of Unclockable, a trans-led brand that was founded “to meet the unique needs of trans and queer people,” per its website. The description of the product Consani showed says that it allows the wearer to don their “favorite feminine styles without a gaff and with no bulge,” and “zero panty lines.”

In 2024, Consani became the first trans model, alongside Valentina Sampaio, to walk a Victoria’s Secret runway show. Their casting came six years after Ed Razek, the brand’s former chief marketing officer, made regrettable comments to Vogue about casting “transsexuals” in their fashion shows. ‘

“Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should,” he said. “Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It’s a 42-minute entertainment special.” Days after the interview, a statement released by the brand attributed to Razek backtracked to say that the brand “would cast” a trans model for the show, and that it has considered trans models at castings, though one had never been hired. “It was never about gender,” he added.

In 2019, Valentina Sampaio became the first out trans model to work with Victoria’s Secret as part of a shoot with the brand’s VS Pink label. Days later, Razek retired from the company. Emira D’Spain, Edun Sodipo, Honey Dijon and Ceval Omar, all trans women, have since worked with the brand. Consani’s BTS shot is a reminder of her own declaration about the fashion industry that “the future is dolls,” as she stated in a June interview with Them.

“Seeing more of us, not just white versions of our community, not just thin versions of our community, not just able-bodied versions of our community, but all of the facets of being trans,” she said. “I think that’s so fashionable: the expression that comes from having an identity, especially now, that’s so unappreciated and unsupported.”
