Happy Pride Los Angeles!

Celebrate!
Cardi B

This year Los Angeles got confusing for Pride season. West Hollywood went ahead and had it's usual to do last weekend and now this weekend the Parade returns to it's original location the streets of Hollywood.

"Yes" we just can't be proud enough here in LA, thus we have two Pride celebrations. Last weekend Cardi B was in the house for the West Hollywood parade. Paula Abdul will be guest of honor at this one.

Whoever shows up I'm sure a fun time will be had by all!!!

Happy Pride Los Angeles Minions from me and Cardi B....

BTW in case you are wondering I did not go to the West Hollywood Parade and I will not be in attendance at the Hollywood Parade today.

Mic Drop!

Happy Anniversary Chrissy Teigen!

Together For 10 Years!
Chrissy Teigen
Since we need all the levity we can get at present, yesterday Chrissy Teigen proudly announced it was the 10th Anniversary for her breast implants.

"Yes" you read that correctly so she took to Instagram and Twitter with the announcement using the above photo and a caption that read: "happy 10 year anniversary to these titties and RIP to these teeth. 💕" Much to the delight of her fans and celebrity friends such as Lisa Rinna and Paris Hilton.

Might I suggest you follow Chrissy on Instagram or Twitter, perhaps both? She is a lot of fun, her sense of humor is awesome! Also she is a great cook as well. Now THAT'S a winning combo, if you ask me...

Celebrate 10 glorious years with Chrissy and her breast implants at the links below, do it and do it now!!!

Kristine W "Just a Lie"


KRISTINE W PREPARES TO UNLEASH HER “ISSUES”
With New Single, “Just a Lie,” Out Now

Kristine W returns to the dance floor with Love and Lies, the first part of her three-episode Issues double-album that includes the #1 single Stars” and her brand new single, “Just a Lie”. Being distributed globally through The Orchard, all eight songs on Issues Episode 1: Love and Lies deal with love in its complexities: the deception from others as well as the lies we tell ourselves. “Just a Lie,” the album’s second single, releases today.  The song was originally about death and the loss felt by those left behind, but it morphed into the single it is today after Kristine experienced a painful divorce.  “I realize now how similar divorce is to a death,” she explains.  “The grieving is intense.  It’s mourning the loss of the relationship, the breakup of the family, the betrayal, the time invested; so many things.  I was with my husband for a long time and we worked through so many challenges, I initially assumed we’d find our way through his infidelity, but what starts as just a lie sometimes grows into a tornado of betrayal and sometimes it’s best to just let go and let God guide you to your next chapter in life.”  Kristine W’s “Just a Lie” is available now on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/episode-one-love-and-lies/1480309972) and all digital retailers via Kristine’s own imprint, Fly Again Music Productions.  The Issues Episode 1: Love and Lies album will be available February 2020; available for pre-order now.  

“Learning there was a third person in our marriage turned out to be only the tip of the iceberg,” Kristine W reflects.  “There were layers of deceit including my ex leveraging our family home to purchase a house for his other family.”

“My friends have been rocks for me during this hard time,” she continues.  “Also, my kids have been incredibly supportive and so strong.  They serve as reminders that while the marriage may have given me the biggest heart break I would deal with in life, it also gave me my two greatest blessings in the world: my beautiful son and daughter.”


“Just a Lie” was produced in Amsterdam by Bob Sandee / Subgroover aka Crossnaders and they manage to give the emotional track a very cool, progressive, funky electro house vibe.  “I love the unique sound of the track,” Kristine says.  “The Bass line, in particular, is infectious.”   
Kristine W hails from Pasco, Washington. After winning titles as Miss Tri-Cities and Miss Washington and placing first in the talent competition at the Miss America pageant, she went on to pursue her educational and musical dreams in Las Vegas. There, she found success headlining her own show at the Las Vegas Hilton, winning several 'Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year' awards and being officially sanctioned as the entertainer who performed more live shows at the Las Vegas Hilton than any other performer in its history, including Elvis. The award led to June 28th being officially sanctioned Kristine W day in the state of Nevada.

She began recording pop and dance tracks in 1994.  Her first track, “Feel What You Want” reached #1 and since then, Kristine W has had a steady flow of chart toppers.  Her latest single, “Stars” became her 17th Billboard #1.  She now ties Mariah Carey for the sixth-most No. 1s since the chart’s August 28, 1976, inception. Madonna leads the chart with 46.
It’s been five years since the release of Kristine W’s last full-length album, New & Number Ones.  The 13-track album included re-edited versions of six of her classic songs as well as hit single “Everything That I Got”, “So Close to Me”, and “Love Come Home.” 


Divorce is not Kristine’s first life struggle.  She is a leukemia survivor, celebrating 15 years in remission this year.  She is also a survivor of the music industry that melted as a result of the digital revolution; a battle she counts as her biggest feat in life.   “Frankly, it has been a lot of work,” she concedes, “but I firmly believe in the power of music and it has certainly helped me through the toughest episodes of life.”

The three episodes of Issues are intended to take listeners on a journey, with songs relating to the subject of each episode.  Following Issues Episode 1: Love and LiesIssues Episode 2: Struggles will deal with life’s battles including those associated with relationships, work, time management and self-esteem.  Then, Issues Episode 3: Redemption will celebrate life's small victories.  All thirty tracks of Issues will be released as a double album in early 2021.
“Life is about love and loss with fabulous triumphs and heart wrenching experiences,” Kristine W attests. “No one is getting through this journey unscathed.  We need to be there for each other with a sympathetic ear always remembering what may appear as ‘Just a Lie’ is likely more significant and complicated for the person going through it.”

Kristine W’s “Just a Lie” is available now on all digital retailers via Kristine’s own imprint, Fly Again Music Productions.  The Issues Episode 1: Love and Lies album will be available February 2020; available for pre-order now. Fly Again Music is a diversified entertainment company devoted to producing, uncovering and revitalizing the very best of dance, pop and jazz culture.  For more information on Kristine W and her music, visit http://kristinew.com.

The Hangover?

Bottoms Up!
Taylor Swift
Apparently Taylor Swift tied one on for a party she threw for herself and those who participated in the making of the You Need To Calm Down video. This of course was post yesterday's Teen Choice Awards where she was presented the Icon Award.


You Need To Calm Down
Taylor Swift
She drank enough to get #DrunkTaylor trending on Twitter. Ya wanna know something? From the looks of it "Drunk Taylor" looks like a lot of fun IMHO. Heck Taylor joined in the Tomfoolery and owned it by Tweeting out the trending news herself - "Threw a party to celebrate with the people who made the ME! & YNTCD videos with me- and we had so much fun that ‘Drunk Taylor’ is trending on Twitter. CHEERS."

😆
🍾
👍

👏


Makes me wished I was at her soiree. So I'm gonna kick off your week with some images of "Drunk Taylor" that are sure to make you wished you were rolling in the deep with her.


I Whip My Hair Back & Fourth
Taylor Swift
Only one question remains, does she have a hangover today? Can someone spill on that for me?

World Pride

She's Got Spirit!
Lady Gaga
Today is the official last day of World Pride, and while the party may be over, the celebration should continue. "Yes" life should be a celebration every damn MotherF#cking day!

Bear witness to Lady Gaga sauntering her way in rainbow regalia to The Stonewall Inn, the place where the first Gay Pride was literally a riot. Hence on the 50th Anniversary of the historic event which transpired on June 28th in NYC - the Pride Party this weekend in the city of origin is an extravaganza!

So of course Gay ally our Lady of Gaga is out in full force and rocking it like a unicorn! Hey, she was Born This Way...

Thus on the last day of the party I leave you with this delightful image to remind you to keep on keepin' 365 days all the time. You and your life are a reason to celebrate!

Rainbow High Five!

Cinco de Mayo

Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville...
Neil Patrick Harris
"Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo] in Latin America, Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.[1][2] The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated Zaragoza at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders" - Wikipedia 

OK, there you have it the reason Cinco de Mayo aka The 5th of May is celebrated. This being stated it is mainly an excuse for most to go out and get wasted away in Margaritaville

Case in point, the celebratory image that is giving me Cinco life today is one Neil Patrick Harris on the beach passed out among many Margarita glasses. While it is obviously staged NPH is known for his fondness of the tequila based concoction.

Honestly I would like to join Neil in reaching the beach today, but alas can not. Yeah, not everyone has the free time to go out and get elegantly wasted.

Margarita Glass Drop!

Monday Motivation

Nom, Nom, Nom
Cookie Monster

"Me Want Cookie!" - Cookie Monster 

It's Christmas Eve and it happens to fall on a Monday. Thus what better Monday Motivation than cookies

Yep, Michael & Cookie Monster say indulge, like I did last night. "Yes" I confess I had red velvet cookies last night courtesy of my friend Scott to celebrate my Birthday. People you have to enjoy life and despite that I have lost 50 lbs and now have a rockin' body I dove in with reckless abandon and can't believe I ate a whole thing of cookies (with some help.) I consumed mass quantities of the decadent treat and I liked it!

Hey, unlike my furry blue friend Cookie Monster, who eats them all the time, this was a rare gluttonous evening for yours truly and it was worth every over the top moment.

Cookies, everyone, cookies - it's Christmas and it only comes once a year so give in to your inner Cookie Monster and nom, nom, nom...!

World AIDS Day


Today is World AIDS Day - while I have no eloquent way to address this subject I wanted to honor this day and the people whose lives have been affected by this. 

We are living in questionable times so I choose to celebrate humanity in the form of Harvey Milk's inspiring speech Give Them Hope.

It is simple, yet amazing, and most important right here, right now in this particular time in history, uplifting. 

I can't believe it is December 1st 2018 already! Make today great!

Listen closely below...

Freaky Friday

Cheers to Beer!
Lady Gaga
This ayem I received an E-mail that informed me today is National Drink Beer Day - really, I'm not joking. Seeing as how there seems to be a day for everything, why not drinking beer? I ask you? I'm waiting for an answer...

What is odd about the whole situation is how and why I received this correspondence via a site called HaveGuru.com, a place I have never dared to go on the WWW. Also, why when I try to reach it, it does not come up, yet it sends E-mail?!

Freaky Friday indeed minions. 

To celebrate I chose my own poster person for said day, the woman of the hour Lady Gaga imbibing in the refreshing golden liquid at a Mets game.

So join Moi & Gaga and raise a mug in honor of beer's special day and toast to websites that do not exist sending "Ghost E-mails" about days that do exist.

Cheers!

Who's Your Daddy?

Father Figure
Michael Shinafelt

Happy Father's Day!

While my Father passed away a while ago from Cancer, lung to be exact, this year I thought I would take a different approach to the designated day for Dad's

That's correct it's time to play "Who's Your Daddy!" Yay! Hooray! 

Now that it's out there, perhaps I could be yours. My name is Michael, I'll be your Daddy tonight. Hey, it wouldn't be the first (nor last) time I've ever been called that.

After all "I will be your preacher teacher, (Be your daddy)", Father Figure, ya know.

To all you Father's out there it's your day, celebrate. To all you Daddy's out there, keep doing you.

Michael has left the laptop...

Got Daddy?

On With The Show...

Getting "Red"y
Seth Meyers

Tonight Hollywood's biggest party, the Golden Globe Awards turns 75 - that's right folks the GG's are three quarters of a century old. To celebrate this milestone they got themselves Seth Meyers to host.

Even though I believe the only nominated film I have seen this year thus far is I, Tonya most likely I will watch them as the show tends to be entertaining because of it's spontaneous moments that one does not usually see on the tightly orchestrated Oscars.
