| Jennifer Aniston & Lord Chesterfield |
"National Pet Day on April 11th dedicates the day to those pets who may not always get the companionship and attention pets deserve. While loving our pets is something we do every day, the observance encourages helping out orphaned pet companions. It will improve their health and enhance their opportunities for adoption."
"Yes" Minions it tis indeed National Pet Day! If I could have a dog in the building I live in I would. But alas I can not. But to those of you out there who are able to care for a pet, well, what's stopping you???
Here to represent is Jennifer Anniston and her best friend Lord Chesterfield. She adopted him from Los Angeles based Wagmor Pets.
To find a pet you fancy might I suggest a shelter? There are many animals in need of a home at them and the gratitude and companionship you will get in return will be a once in a lifetime bond.
Happy National Pet Day!!!

So Fetch!
So Fetch! Obviously "Fetch" is never going to happen, but if it were I bet the idea of Parker Posey hosting Saturday Night Live would elicit this reaction from everyone here, there and everywhere.
I mean when has she never not been one the funniest and best parts of anything she has ever been in? I ask you???
Running hot after Season Three of The White Lotus where she slayed as Victoria Ratliff, now would be the perfect time for her to bring her unique sensibility and style to the show.
I say we start a viral campaign to get her the hosting gig. Remember it worked for Betty White.
"Yes" it's Parker Posey's time to sparkle Parker, sparkle!!!

The Facts Of Life
 |
| Michael Shinafelt |
Hello and Happy Monday Minions! This was me yesterday have a quesadilla and a large Margarita rocks, no salt at Home State on Hollywood Blvd. It's my favorite morning thing to do after all.
Aside from enjoying what a beautiful day it was I remember when I was in yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and the objective of the class was to know that even though life is good there are always bad things to counteract that and to accept those as well.
Well that is something that has been the best part of being in my 50's is that I do see things that way and thus it does make navigating life much easier. Just a little wisdom from me to you heading into the week.
You take the good you take the bad and deal with it...The Facts Of Life!

Remembering A Legend
 |
| Val Kilmer |
It was sad to hear of the passing of Val Kilmer he was a big part of my movie going experience. One of the best actors of my generation to be precise.
While he had a long and storied career with many roles that I loved him in. But he will always be Jim Morrison in the Doors film to me.
Val completely inhabited Morrison and brought the same electrical charge to the stage that Jim did when he recreated him in concert.
I was blown away!
I hope you and the Lizard King are making beautiful music in the afterlife.
RIP

Did you know "Desperately Seeking Susan" is 40 years old?! Like OMG! That's correct Minions and to celebrate it Madonna wore the iconic jacquard jacket from the 1985 movie to a fashion show benefit in New York City, celebrating the film's 40th anniversary and raising money for the Trans Justice Funding Project.
Thus we are giving a Hump Day & Chill shout out to the Queen Of Pop Today.
I remember seeing "Desperately Seeking Susan" while I was a college Freshman in Portland, OR. Oh, and "Yes" I was and still am a Madonna fan.
Cheers to the one and only Madonna long may she Hump Day & Chill!!!

The Blue Lagoon

| The Blue Lagoon Christopher Atkins & Brooke Shields |
Hello April! Here's a still from the 1980 film The Blue Lagoon to celebrate.
APRIL FOOLS!!!
It's actually a mash-up of Creature From The Black Lagoon and The Blue Lagoon. "Yes" the creature has gotten lost and is hanging in the wrong lagoon, his bad.
With every being basically a lie or deception of some sort daily, be careful what you fall for today because the BS count I'm sure will tick higher than usual. If that's even remotely possible...
