3 Women

Heist Ho, Heist Ho
l-r Sarah Paulson, Rihanna & Sandra Bullock
We've made it to the middle, Happy Hump Day! To get you over "The Hump" I bring you an image of 3 women from the set of Ocean's Eight in New York City

The 3 women being Sarah Paulson, Rihanna & Sandra Bullock. Yes the gang is all here, literally since that is what the movie is about a gang of women who pull off a heist.

Will the finished product be a hit or a miss? Fingers crossed for the former rather than the later, with all the estrogen power they've got for this endeavor it would be a shame if it were wasted on anything less than an terrific escapist time at the movies.

Ciao and have a good one!

"Life Is Like A Jackie Collins Novel"


"Life is like a Jackie Collins novel" - Michael Shinafelt

This startling revelation caught me by surprise somewhere back in 2010 when I was dating an actor half my age and juggling both our schedules and different friends and careers, mine being of course a writer, actor etc...So I immediately posted my momentary genius on my Facebook page and took it to Twitter!

After having been in Hollywood for 20 plus years it hit me like a bolt of lightning at that point and time in my life that "yes" me and my then boyfriend could easily be a basis for characters in one of her books! 

Funny when I was growing up as a young lad in Washington State I used to find her potboilers entertaining, but thought that her statement that the characters and events were based on reality a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, well living in Hollywood I have been proven wrong on the abovementioned notion. 

A few of my favorite Jackie yarns? Hollywood Wives was my favorite! Honorable mention goes to Lady Boss and Lucky.

She was a woman who lived a great and fascinating life. Someone who I wished I had met, so I could have had a character based on me in one of her escapist treatise. 

R.I.P. Lovely lady, you made reality entertaining.
