Monday Motivation

Money, Money, Money
Robert Downey, Jr.
"Bitch better have my money!, Please don't call me on my bluff" - Rihanna, Bitch Better Have My Money
Today's Monday Motivation is pure unadulterated greed. That's right minions, money, it makes the world go round and puts a smile on your face when you can spend it freely and give unto others as they maybe would to you. 
So I am meditating about bringing mass quantities of it into my realm. You know master of my domain type of stuff.
Don't judge my pursuit of the material today, if you see it this way, keep it to yourself and move on. Money is my Monday Motivation jam at present. Carry on, as you were...

Just Because...Giving

We Crave a Different Kind of Buzz...
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
I stumbled upon this gem today about Prince Harry & Meghan Markle asking those who wish them well to go to...Ha! Kidding. They have actually asked them to make Charitable Donations in lieu of Wedding Gifts.

Personally I love these two, there I said it. Not since Princess Diana has anything "Royal" really grabbed my attention. 

Their obvious happiness is infectious. But what I adore most about them is how philanthropic they are. They hand picked seven charities they would like people to give to in honor of their special day, they are as follows:

CHIVA (Children's HIV Association), Crisis, the Myna Mahila Foundation, Scotty's Little Soldiers, StreetGames, Surfers Against Sewage and The Wilderness Foundation UK.

Giving is something that is important whether it be money, food or time. 

I feel one should give back any way you can. Do I give? For the record "yes" I practice what I preach.

"Bitch Better Have My Money!"

Gangsta!
Erin & Sara Foster
Oh those Foster Sisters, clowning around as usual...this time with money $$$! Hey, you two that is no laughing matter!

At a recent photo shoot the stars of the VH1 reality show/sitcom hybrid Barely Famous, toyed around with stacks of cash like it belongs on a Monopoly board. This time the no holds barred duo have finally done it, they have crossed the line, no one treats money like a trivial object.

What? You say they have crossed plenty of other lines that are much funnier? Well, "yes" they have, and I love them for it!

In case you haven't seen them in action I have provided a link below to catch up with Barely Famous, in the meantime, make it rain baby, make it rain!

Hillary Clinton's Latest "Scandal"

I'm With Her
Kerry Washington & Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton recently visited the imaginary Oval Office on the set of Scandal. Too bad we did not get any indication of how she thought it compared to the real deal.

As the story goes, Clinton, knew the cast was trying to make a fundraiser for her, but was aware they would not finish work in time. So, what's a Presidential candidate to do? Why make a detour to the set on the way to her event, naturally. 

The episode was being Directed by show star, Scott Foley when the former Secretary of State paid a visit.

Cast member Katie Lowes has this to say about Hillary's visit on set: "Mind blown! It was amazing"

The Women of Scandal recently made headlines for endorsing Clinton in a television commercial.

Now that's putting your money where your mouth is! You can make anything a Scandal in this day and age.

It's always a Scandal on TGIT

amfAR 2015: Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone!

Playing Tricks With Her Crucifix
Sharon Stone
amfAR recently held it's inspiration gala in Los Angeles, CA honoring the man behind American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the organization, it raises money for AIDS research.

While the event was of course attended by the AHS cast, with Lady Gaga performing at it, let's all pretend to be surprised by that fact. It was Sharon Stone who made the biggest splash of the evening.

Not only does she look amazing, her outfit for the night was the bomb!

Talk about inspiring! Well yes, not only does Ms. Stone inspire because she has still got it at fifty-seven, something you may not be aware of is she has raised millions of dollars for the organization. Yes, that's right, Sharon Stone has championed amfAR for years.

She has even been an auctioneer at an event and a very good one at that, she could get you to buy a rock for a few grand, she is that persuasive.

Cheers to inspiration! Have a good one!

Whitney and the Holograms?

I'm Your Hologram Tonight
Whitney Houston
Yep, it's true! Whitney Houston will be giving Jem and the Holograms a run for their money in 2016.

Get ready folks, Whitney's hologram will be touring. Personally I find this concept weird. I mean they will have to take footage from already recorded Houston performances and recordings to put this apparition together, correct?

Well don't all of you die hard WH fans own all of that paraphernalia already? 

Yeah, I really don't get the lure of paying what is likely to be primo dinero to watch ghosts of the past culled from material of the real deal that is already out there, nothing spontaneous or interesting about that now is there?!

Or maybe there is, but this type of thing is not for this guy. 

Food for thought, have the happiest of Sundays and remember...

"You've given me ecstasy, you are my fantasy
I'm your baby tonight"...

No Brainer: Magic Mike XXL

Time For Some "Magic" at Los Angeles Pride

It's the marketing no brainer of the year. Yes, there was a Magic Mike XXL float in the Los Angeles Pride Parade.

Stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer & Adam Rodriguez were on it accompanied by some shirtless ripped guys shaking their money makers.

Oh, and I was there and I saw it all with my own two eyes.

Brilliant idea not to mention fun!

'Tis The Season For Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah Rulz! 
I have always loved Queen Latifah! When I first saw her in Set It Off I was a fan!
She has always brought something unique and interesting to every film she has graced. Not to mention she is one bad ass singer!
The news that her talk show has been cancelled is sad indeed. This being stated Ms. Latifah proves why she has the title of Queen.
Although the cancelled talk show will still run through March, since it has been given the boot the crew is no longer necessary. The Queen is using her own money to pay the show's crew through the Holidays.
"Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same," the message continued. "You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show. We truly changed people's lives for the better. So…stay positive, stay strong, and most important, stay open...There is so much more God has in store!"
The Queen concluded with: "This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey," she wrote. "The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome…believe in yourself and continue to fly."
What's up next? Queen Latifah is getting great buzz for her portrayal of legendary blues singer Bessie Smith in HBO's upcoming Bessie. I can't wait! 
Long live the Queen!

Shirley Temple Remembered By Susan Olsen

Shirley Temple
With the recent passing of Shirley Temple I really wanted to say something that truly honored who she was in this great big universe.

Something eloquent and meaningful, well even though I personally did not write this I found what I was looking for.

The following is a truly awesome tribute to Ms. Shirley Temple, written by Actress, Susan Olsen best known as "Cindy Brady" from the TV show "The Brady Bunch" who was gracious enough to give me permission to post it:

It is unfortunate that Shirley Temple is associated with my least Favorite episode of "The Brady Bunch." Having me imitate Shirley by singing “Good Ship Lollipop" would have been a great idea when I was seven but at age twelve it was painfully awkward. By that age, I (not Cindy) would have preferred to emulate Shirley Temple the adult. That is the Shirley that I love most. 

I read Ms. Temple’s autobiography several years ago and found myself overwhelmed with respect for her. I did not know that she had continued to act as a beautiful woman before embarking on a career in politics. What was most impressive was how truly grateful she was for her unusual childhood. She had absolutely no regrets. There were no sordid tales of being the victim of wicked Hollywood, an industry that does tend to eat it’s young. There was no resentment for any lost childhood; there was only gratitude for a blessed childhood filled with wonderful people and adventure. She even bore no grudges toward her parents who had invested her money foolishly. 

As an adult, she did not have the wealth one would have presumed but she had no complaints. Instead she had compassion for their errors and rather than dwell on past mistakes, she looked forward to future opportunities. Were she to try to write such a positive memoir today, she might have a very hard time finding a publisher. Nobody wants to hear about the former child star who goes on to have a great life away from the camera and a past with no regrets. No, they want to hear about the ones who feel discarded by the Industry, the drug addicts, the train wrecks, the victims – not the heroes. 

But Shirley most certainly was a hero – definitely a hero of mine. She will be missed but I hope that she will be remembered not just for the darling little girl that she was but for the truly class act she became. I’m so sorry I never had the honor of meeting her.

Thank You Susan!
