#TBT: Back To The Cave
Michael Shinafelt

"Oh, let's get back to the cave, No-one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave for a little while, Ah, yeah, for a little while" - Lita Ford

Well this week has been quite the week for memes. Between the State of the Union address, Nancy Pelosi & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, why darlins' it was a tough call but I did pick the one that really resonated with me most as my favorite.

"Yep" it will be featured below and "No" I am not going to tell you which one it is, you're gonna have to read 'till you get to it. Just say "Yes Sir" - now carry on. 

Saw a Valentine's Day commercial for KY Jelly, nothing says I Love You like lube

Nancy Pelosi gives a whole new meaning to "Clap On, Clap Off"

I've been cutting meat all my life

What looks to be one of it's best, season 9 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres this Tuesday, meow!

I'm sorry I called you a twat. You're welcome

Lemon water burns fat. The more you know.

The Grammy Awards are this weekend aka the night my insomnia ends 

Is your refrigerator running? If so I might vote for it in 2020.

My Favorite Meme This Week

Monday Motivation

I'm Gumby Damn It!
Adam Levine

Even though it doesn't happen until Wednesday I am planting the seed of motivation today, Monday. "Yes" Monday Motivation for a Wednesday ayem yoga class. For some inexplicable reason I have missed hitting the mat for the past two weeks and I really need to go as yoga does wonders for me and my body, not to mention my mindset as well.

Thus I have enlisted the very flexible, not to mention agile, Adam Levine to give me the kick in the booty I need to reach the mat at 8 ayem Wednesday morning. 

While at this point and juncture I know I will never achieve Gumby flexibility like Adam, one of my goals is to become more so. 

My body does actually give more than it used to in the bending department than it did when I started my yoga journey. That's why I am kicking myself for missing it these past couple of weeks...Grrrrrrrrrr.

OK, my mind has been programmed I know I will be in a downward dog come Wednesday. Join me?

Monday Motivation

I'm Gumby Damn It!
Adam Levine

After a quite eventful April 1st - you know Easter, April Fools Day, Passover & Rent Due. It's time to decompress and hit the mat. That's correct I am going to yoga today, woo hoo!

Monday is usually my day off from the gym, but due to mitigating circumstances I must get there today - thus Monday, when I do go is yoga day.

Today's Monday Motivation is yogi Adam Levine for various reasons. One of the main ones being, well you know, his flexibility as demonstrated in the images above. Obviously Adam has been participating in the sacred art for quite some time to be this pliable.

Me? I am a late comer to the table and am as flexible as a brick. I am more so than I used to be, but have a long way to go.

Thus today's yoga motivation mantra is: "Bend it like Adam." or at the very least picture Adam bending in my head when things get tough if you get my drift (I think you do...)

Namaste

Guess Who's Coming To "The Voice?"

The Wind Beneath My Rock-N-Roll
Joan Jett & Bette Midler

Season 11 of The Voice is shaping up to be quite epic. With returning coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, newbies Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys have been added to the vocal re-mix. 

But guess who else is coming to The Voice as vocal advisers??? Joan Jett will also be along for the ride. The Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame inductee was chosen by Cyrus, who joked about having sex with her and sang with her at her hall of fame induction ceremony.

Also none other than Bathhouse Bette, Bette Midler will be advising as well. Who, who, who brought the Bette on? Surprisingly it was Adam Levine. Apparently he digs her, interesting no? That being stated she will be working with Blake not Adam when the show airs. 

There's going to be a whole lotta vocalizing going on when The Voice returns to NBC September 19th!

Thanksgiving Bromance

I Feels For You
Adam Levine & Blake Shelton

Adam Levine has taken his Bromance with Blake Shelton to a whole other level by calling him the "sexiest man alive." 

People Magazine doesn't have a clue as to how hot Blake is according to Adam or they would put him on the cover of said issue (Adam himself is a former holder of the coveted title.)

The Voice coaches clearly have the feels for each other. Check out the photo above for proof.

Since today is Thanksgiving and all that jazz one of the themes of the Holiday is brotherly love. 

Nothing quite says that like a Blake & Adam sandwich. Watch out Gwen Stefani you have competition!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Author M.E. Franco Brings It For Halloween!!!

Tombstone Hugger, M.E. Franco

Yes, it's that time of the year again Halloween! Every year here on Entertain Me I have fellow horror lover and author M.E. Franco stop by for some tricks, treats, but most of all fun!
M.E. is the author of the popular supernatural thriller Dion trilogy, Where Will You Run, Where Will You Hide & Where Will You Turn.
I asked her 10 Questions in the spirit of the season, read how she answered...if you dare!

MS: If you were a freak what kind of freak would you be?
ME: From a very young age, I've had this fascination with sword swallowers. It freaks me out and captivates me at the same time. I want to watch, but I don't want to watch, but I have to watch... I'm not the only one, everyone holds their breath when the sword swallower comes out. It's truly scary, but you can't look away. That's what I'd choose to be: the sword swallower.

MS: What did you think of the series finale of True Blood?
ME: Lame comes to mind, but I'll go with a bad vampire pun and say that it sucked, but not in a good way. I was disappointed.

Look, It's Reinn

MS: Which character in your supernatural thriller Dion series of books do you have a crush on?
ME: I really wanted to focus a lot on Raith when I started, but when I wrote the second book, Reinn stole my heart. (Don't tell Raith).

MS: If birds of a feather flock together, what do bats do?
ME: Hang out. (I'm full of bad puns today)

Adam Levine: I Win Satan!

MS: Satan and Adam Levine both want your soul, who do you give it to?
ME: Have to go with Adam, he has better tattoos Although I hear Satan is quite the singer.

Michael Myers Experiences Frequent Neck Pain

MS: Michael Myers asks you on a date with a nod and a blank stare, what is your answer?
ME: "I don't remind you of your sister or a babysitter, do I?"

Hey Drew, What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

MS: Name one of your favorite death scenes in a horror movie.

ME: I thought Drew Barrymore's death in Scream was masterful. That whole scene with her was truly creepy.

MS: What type of wine do you enjoy with your Fava Beans?
ME: I think a nice, old vine zin would be a fabulous pairing, although I hear they also go well with chianti.

C'mon M.E. Show Me Those Fangs

MS: You have been turned into a vampire, what is the first thing that you would do?
ME: Bite Gerard Butler. Wait...that sounds creepy, but I don't think if violates the restraining order.

MS: Driving down a deserted country road you spot Morgan Le Fay hitchhiking, do you give her a ride?
ME: Absolutely I would! It's always good to have a powerful sorceress who owes me a favor. Plus, she could probably afford the Cheetos and Diet Dr. Pepper for the trip.

Adam Levine Is A Stalker

Adam Levine & His Wife, Model Behati Prinsloo
Give Us A Halloween Treat

"Baby I'm preying on you tonight

Hunt you down eat you alive

Just like animals" - "Animals" Maroon 5

That's right, Adam Levine is going as a stalker for Halloween in the video for the latest Maroon 5 single: Animals.

His costume of choice is quite controversial apparently among organizations that are advocates for stopping violence against women.

Everyone has the right to their opinion, and here's mine. Having seen the video and being a fan of horror, to me this is pretty standard fare and no big deal.

Personally I find Anaconda by Nicki Minaj or Robin Thicke's date rape song Blurred Lines way more offensive and degrading to women than Animals.

Animals is essentially a short slasher film about a stalker that has premiered during the perfect time of the year, Halloween. Translation, it's a great video and brilliant marketing, nothing more.

Sorry if I do not share in the outrage over something that is seen in TV shows and movies all the time.

I love the video, it's creepy, sexy and has great imagery, everything a gritty horror movie should be! Check it out below!

The Horror: M.E. Franco

M.E. Franco - Cemetery Style

Fellow Horror lover and author, M.E. Franco is here to have some fun with me and answer some geeky questions about Halloween!

M.E. is the author of the popular paranormal romance/urban fantasy "Dion" series of books "Where Will You Run" and "Where Will You Hide".

OK, fellow geek, let's get silly...!

MS: How excited are you for the premiere of "American Horror Story: Asylum"?

MF:  I cannot wait! Like "The Walking Dead", that show has actually made me squirm on several occasions and that is hard to do.

MS: Do you hope Adam Levine shows booty? 

MF: Only once or twice every episode. Okay maybe three times, but no more than four. Okay, maybe four, but that's it. 

MS: Is "Sadistic Nun" a redundant term?

MF: Absolutely.

MS:  What are you wearing right now?

MF: Pajamas, my favorite.

MS: Are you wearing that for Halloween or something different?

MF: I'll have to wear something different this year. I don't want to be "exhausted mom" two years in a row...lol.

MS: If you were a Halloween candy, which one would you be?

MF: Tootsie Roll

MS: Would you walk up to people and say "Eat Me"?

MF: Only if they made me mad

MS: What's your favorite scary movie & why?

MF: Scary movies make me laugh. I'm sick that way. So I love the campy ones like "Evil Dead 2" and "3". Although they are not movies, "The Walking Dead" and "American Horror Story" have actually given me the creeps on several occasions. I love that!

MS: Name which of these vampires you would most like to receive a hickey from - Dracula, Eric Northman or John Blaylock?

MF: That's a tough one...I'd have to go with Eric. 

Eric Northman

MS: How would you react if one of your friends told you they were a supernatural creature?

MF: I would want to know if the person could turn me into one too. Unless he was a zombie. Then I'd have to pass. No one wants to be a zombie.

MS: Say you were "The Bride of Frankenstein" what would you want as a wedding gift?

MF: Fire. Frankenstein is not hot

TV Watch: American Horror Story: Asylum

I'm so excited, and I'm not gonna hide it..."American Horror Story: Asylum" looks amazingly creepy, violent and scary, everything we horror fans loved about the first installment of the FX anthology series.

From the promo trailers and artwork to the cast of returning and new actors: Jessica Lange as a sadistic nun who runs the asylum anyone??? Are perfection!

Also I am excited to see Adam Levine as one half of the characters referred to as "The Lovers" as I am sure with a character moniker like that he will inherit the "Baring Your Booty" legacy of Dylan McDermott.

Seriously October 17th 10pm on FX can not come soon enough, in the meantime here are some of my favorite images and a clip thrown in for good measure - that are building my anticipation to a....fill in your own blank my fellow AHS fans and have a macabre Labor Day Weekend...Boo!

Sister Sadistic: Jessica Lange

Obligatory Hotttie: Adam Levine

I'll Be Your Nympho Tonight: Chloe Sevigny

TV Watch: "Revenge" & "American Horror Story"

Two of my most favorite shows ever debuted last year..."Revenge" & "American Horror Story" and while I know I am a little slow on the draw with writing about the latest casting news, well whatever, I was busy writing about other things, so there and bite me!

So now I write as a fan of both shows who is over the moon or licking an udder about two of the most juicy pieces of casting evuh!

You got it, this is a fan gush, get over it. First off how brilliant was it of for the peeps behind "Revenge" to cast one of my favorite actresses, Jennifer Jason Leigh as Amanda's Mom?! She will more than go toe to toe with Madeline Stowe, she will obliterate that beotch, "Single White Female" anyone? JJL glad to have you back in a major role in a high profile project, the last time I saw you was at a Harmony Gold screening of your directorial debut with Alan Cumming - "The Anniversary Party" - "Yes" I know it's not the last time you worked, but it's the last time I saw you...go grrrrrrrrrrl, you are fierce!

Oh, and lest we forget one of the hottest men and stars on the planet, Adam Rivai Levine is on the second cycle of "American Horror Story".

Wonder if he will show butt like Dylan McDermott, odds on bet? "Yes" - hey he is sexy as heck and no proper hottie remains clothed in a horror opus.

Yep, I can't wait for the debut of these two shows, until then...I guess there is always "The People's Court".







Until they premiere tune into:

10 Stupid Questions With: "Ponyboy"

Alt-rockers “Ponyboy", Charles McVey & David Zey, are in the house to promote their “Little Dick Demo” by answering my 10 Stupid Questions…are you ready Pony’s? Let’s rock-n-ride!
　
1. Do you guys know how to pony, like Boney Moroney?

Charles: I don't know what you mean. Is that a George Clooney movie?

David: Yes. I do it all the time with my uncles and step-brothers.

2. What about twist? Do you do it like this?

Charles: Well I like water with a lemon twist, but I think that most people do.

David: Well I’ve certainly played naked Crisco Twister a few times in the woods with my friends, if that’s what you mean.

3. Daddy Issue’s or an issue of Playboy?

Charles: I think it was a daddy's issue of Playboy that revealed the wonders of the female body to me. However, I soon saw a clip from a porno called "Fat Chicks" and it totally turned me queer.

David: My daddy had issues with Playboy. He was always smearing the pictures and getting the pages all stuck together somehow.

4. Ever been too drunk to f#$k?

Charles: I'm too drunk to f#$k right now.

David: I’m too f#$ked to drink.

5. What about kiss?

Charles: Does anyone really kiss anymore? I hear that H.J.s at The Replay are all the rage.

David: I have a strict “no kissing” policy. Put that mouth to better use –

6. Are you always the outsider?

Charles: I would have to say that most of the time I feel like an outsider, but especially when I am outside my house. I am not fond of nature and look forward to a life lived in domes.

David: I love playing outside. I’m kind of a hippie. I drink outside, dance outside, smoke outside, f#$k outside, etc…

7. Do you guys think Adam Levine (of Maroon 5) is hot?

Charles: Yes, who doesn't?

David: What the hell is Maroon 5? If it’s not bear porn I don’t care.

8. How about his “Move Like Jagger” singing partner Christina Aguilera?

Charles: No, I don't like her. What happened to Jenny from the block?

David: She’s a mostly failed attempt at risqué. She could try harder and be much more offensive and in the face about it.

9. What color is God’s skin?

Charles: Crimson and Blue

David: This is a trick question. God does not exist. But if she did, her skin would be candy colored sequins and it would taste like cocaine.

10. Does God really hate your feelings?

Charles: People confuse that song as being a statement against the whole, or something like "God hates everyone's feelings" but that is not what I meant. The song is targeted at a specific individual, not the world. So, I don't think that God hates my feelings, but I know he hates someone's feelings and that person is David Zey.

David: No. But I certainly hate God’s feelings. He’s a great big winey baby and is really self-absorbed and needs all this attention but is really particular about how he gets attention and he always manages to find a way to ruin EVERYONE’S good time. Seriously, f#$k that dude and quit inviting him to our parties.
