Sunday Funday!

Peace Out!
Kim Kardashian & Paul Barewijk

So there is a story behind this photo of Dutch tourist Paul Barewijk and Kim Kardashian. 

After a busy morning hitting the streets of BH (Beverly Hills) Paul popped in to the, what else, Beverly Hills Hotel and to what did his wandering eyes did appear none other than Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian, no tiny reindeer were spotted sadly. 

He then proceeded to show the couple some photos he had taken whilst out and about earlier and Pete happily obliged taking a photo of he and Kim. 

There's more to this story, but I simply wanted to give you the Cliffs Notes version on this Sunday Funday!

Shade

The Future's So Bright...
Bella Thorne

Shade Slang Meaning - Shade is a subtle, sneering expression of contempt for or disgust with someone—sometimes verbal, and sometimes not.

Tis the season, summer that is, for shade. "Yes" it's the most sunglasses time of the year, Yay! However shade is also a slang term as illustrated above for the unfamiliar. OK, seriously who doesn't know it's alternate meaning other than the standard one: comparative darkness and coolness caused by shelter from direct sunlight.

Here we have one Ms. Bella Throne leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel illustrating both types of shade from my perspective. 

That's correct Minions see Bella shelter herself from direct sunlight whilst  giving off what appears to be a subtle expression of contempt. 

So that's the story, if you ask me...

Just Because...Stylish

Fashion, But Is It Art?
Gwen Stefani

Just Because it's Monday and we could all use a pick me up, Just Because The Voice is coming back & Just Because she's so stylish after all - It's Gwen Stefani at a photo shoot in Beverly Hills!

Gwen is like an oasis amidst chaos and as per usual is ever so stylish, cool and collected at a photo shoot in the Hills of Beverly.

Hey she may not be no Hollaback Girl, but she is certainly an icon of style. 

Thus I am starting off your week with the always stunning Gwen and her sense of fashion as inspiration and fun. Inspiration for what you might ask? I said you might ask, but perhaps you might not.

Inspiration to seize the week, bridle it in and make it submit to the way you want it to be. The week is yours, now just do it!

Hump Day & Chill

When In Rome...
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

After a month of having endured repeat episodes with cast commentary, we have made it to Hump Day & Chill again with (finally) a brand new episode of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airing tonight, Yay! 

The reason for the month long gap? Well the 411 is because of the current pandemic they were behind on filming the confessionals. Which makes sense, because they would not be able to shoot them until after the show is completely edited and in the can as the women of BH don't really know what footage has been used until the final cut.

So, the women are jet setting off to Rome soon, as the photo above shows. Lets cross our fingers that when in Rome they do as the Romans do. Which means be more of a lover than a fighter. I know wishful thinking, right?!

Personally I am just glad that my Hump Day & Chill guilty pleasure is back, times are tough enough without having to endure repeat episodes with cast commentary.

Pandemic Chic
Charlize Theron 

Just Because there's a pandemic going down, Just Because well, we are on lock down & Just Because she looks so chic stocking up on sustenance...here is Charlize Theron in an all black athletic leisure outfit grocery shopping in Beverly Hills!

Let's Do Lunch

Lunch Time!
Lisa Vanderpump & Lance Bass

"Yes" let's do lunch is quite the catch phrase here in Los Angeles. We biz types say it all the time, but do we actually follow through? Of course we do! It's lunch damn it! arguably the most important meal of the day.

Breakfast is a close second, and if you forgo dinner you will lose weight and boost your metabolism. So there!

Well here are the poster peeps for "Doing Lunch" Queen Lisa Vanderpump and Little Prince Lance Bass hitting the table in Beverly Hills. 

These two are quite tight, as well documented in the media. I wonder what they exchange sound bites about? Hmmmmmmm...I bet it's sorta kinda pretty interesting on the inside, but is it from the back?

Think about it, but not too much - "Do Lunch" in lieu of a charitable donation to your favorite bar.

Plate Break!

It's Raining RHOBH

United Front
Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Rinna & Dorit Kemsley

It's raining again today in La La Land, literally. It is also raining Real Housewives of the Beverly Hills variety.

In a season that is clearly on of the best of the show, number 9 to be exact, is knocking the proverbial sh!t hitting the fan out of the park!

In a clearly divisive season where Queen Bee Lisa Vanderpump is in the process of losing her throne as everyone is against her for her manipulative ways. Trust me she is - this is juicy stuff week after week.

While I know these shows are produced there is truth to the actual situations. Case in point? Bear witness to Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Rinna & Dorit Kemsley hitting Craig's in West Hollywood.

These women joined forces against the Lisa Vanderpump in this past weeks episode and it's obviously their way of saying LVP is going to be taken down, wait for it...it's not going to happen now, I said wait for it. I know you will.

Stay dry minions!!!

T.G.I.F! Retail Therapy

Shopping From A-Z
Sharon Stone

It's the last Friday of the first month of 2019, digest that minions, we are almost on the second one. If this causes you some pause then perhaps you need something to let out that anxiety, like a little Retail Therapy maybe?

Join wild and untamed thing Sharon Stone on the set of her latest flick Beverly Hills Shopper, OK, kidding about the movie part but behold Sharon in Beverly Hills, shopping. "Yes" dive into the retail pool with her. Me? I will not be joining you in this activity anytime soon, because I loathe shopping.

Well I perhaps fudged that one a little, let's say I loathe shopping retail. Now when it comes to grocery shopping that's another story all together. I enjoy buying food, I think it has something to do with control, ya know, taking charge of what you put in your body and picking out things that satisfy you, yet are healthy. Yeah, that's it. But make no mistake I have a good idea of what I want upon entering said grocery store and pretty much stick to the script. There is very little browsing or impulse buying. Yet I enjoy this activity.

Retail sucks because you have to try on certain things. It is a tedious affair, and honestly while I am stylish on an as needed basis I prefer casual wear or just plain being naked, "Yep" I'm a Basic Bitch.

T.G.I.F. indeed...

Just Because...Tom Hardy & Michelle Williams

Us, The Duo
Tom Hardy & Michelle Williams

Just Because I really like her as an actress, Just Because he's hotter than Georgia asphalt and Just Because they have a movie, Venom arriving this Friday - Here are Tom Hardy & Michelle Williams pimping said film in Beverly Hills this past Thursday.

While I have no intention of seeing Venom, I like this photo op with the two leads. Not to mention I have a "thing" for Tom Hardy. That's correct peeps, even though I have lost 50 lbs, my ideal weight would be Tom on top of me!

TMI? Well I'm a giver, and we like to share...

So here's the thing that befuddles me, who the F#ck is Venom anyway and are there really minions clamoring for an epic about him?

I suppose there must be, right? Why else would a studio, in this case, Sony fork over millions for such an endeavor? 

Venom opens Friday, so does A Star Is Born - I'll be seeing the latter. 

Mic Drop!

Michael's Musings

Red Hot? Or Mellow Yellow?
Michael Shinafelt

"Between two evils I always like to take the one I've never tried before" - Mae West

I don't know about you, but I am feeling quite yummy today. I'd like to try something new. An evil perhaps? Or...use your imagination if you have one, of course you do!

Yellow or red, the choice is yours. Let's smeeeeeeelllll what Michael is cooking!

Kudos to the students who walked out for 17 minutes yesterday in protest of gun violence. One word: amazing!

The Safe Word is: Stormy Daniels

I love the smell of Cheetos and Tuna in the morning...NOT!

Saw one of my favorite partners in crime, Julie McMahon for lunch yesterday at The Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills. The more you know.

A friend of mine, thought Erika Jayne was a total "mean girl" for the way she attacked Teddi Mellencamp on RHOBH this week. While I think the punishment was harsher than the crime, I understood Erika's POV.

That's two mentions for Beverly Hills thus far in my column this week, holla!

There needs to be a band named: No Weed For A Bitch

I need Scandal to surprise and thrill me tonight

Notice Augustus Gloop and Donald Trump are never in the same room together?

R.I.P. The amazing, brilliant, one of a kind Stephen Hawking

So excited, there is going to be a live DJ in one of my favorite spin instructors, Jessica's class today at Gold's Gym Hollywood.

How does it feel to want??? Really, tell me.

Dear Martin Shkreli - Karma's a bitch motherf#cker!

Good Morning, I see the assassins have failed

Are You Worthy?

Divas
Mary J. Blige & Viola Davis

Let's get this week off to a roaring start with a too good to be true photo of, well music and acting royalty. Do you think you are worthy? Of course you do.

It's Mary J. Blige and Viola Davis at the Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills, CA. 

Once in a while there is an rare opportunity to get two greats in one terrific photo, this is one of those times.

By the way how about this season of How To Get Away With Murder? While I have always enjoyed the show I never felt it had reached it's full potential until the current season.

Breaking up Annalise Keating and her pet students was the masterstroke the series needed. It is much more fascinating to see everyone fending for themselves to some degree than as a unified front IMHOP. 

Bow Down Minions and Happy Monday!

Dance Erika, Dance!

She's A Painkillr
Erika Jayne

This morning I woke up with a reason to actually watch Dancing With The Stars this season. It turns out Erika Jayne of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be on hand when the cast is officially announced March 1st! Yahoooooooooooooo....!!!

Can I get a Pat The Puss?! I knew I could...this will give the show a much needed shot in the arm after the previous lackluster season (I don't even remember who was on, nor did I watch any of it.)

Erika is my favorite "Housewife" bar none. She has class, sass and most of all she IS real and gives zero fucks. I'll let you in on a secret, I actually follow her on Instagram, the more you know.

I will for sure be tuning in to see Jayne shake her groove thang! She gives the gays everything they want and more after all.

Zero F#@ks Given - Lisa Rinna

Not Giving A F#@k
Lisa Rinna

Whatever your take on Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Lisa Rinna is, I think we can all  agree on one thing, the woman has chutzpah! 

Recently during some down time in her hotel room Rinna decided to take a nude selfie and post it on Instagram. Then she had second thoughts and took it down, then she did what Lisa does, put it back up with the caption:

“It’s back, I got scared then I said I’m 53 — zero f--ks given! Cheers to @playboy for going back to nudes. The female body is so beautiful, every size and every age. Be proud! #thefemalebodyisbeautiful #allshapesandsizes #loveyourself #loveyourbody.”

Yes, Lisa is 53 and she looks amazing, quite inspiring I must say. If this is what putting Xanax in your smoothies does I'm going to start that regime pronto!

It's Tuesday, and aren't you happy?!

Revival! Ali MacGraw & Ryan O'Neal

From "Love Story" to "Love Letters"
Ali MacGraw & Ryan O'Neal

Jerk it! Jerk it good! That's correct the King & Queen of jerking are back in Los Angeles to make you shed, more tears perhaps? No more tears? Or just plain bawling because nostalgia makes you happy!

Here is the 411 in the BH of LA:

Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal starred opposite each other in Love Story, a blockbuster tearjerker that earned them both Academy Award nominations back in the '70s. Now the pair reunites for the Broadway revival of A.R. Gurney's 1990 Pulitzer Prize finalist: Love Letters. This affecting two-character play tells the tale of Andrew and Melissa, childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Becoming romantically involved as teenagers, they continue to exchange letters through boarding school and beyond. Their funny, emotionally resonant dialogue spans nearly 50 years, as the two friends go their separate ways yet continue to share their dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats. Don't miss this must-see theatrical event, directed by the award-winning Gregory Mosher, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.
