Let Them Eat Cake!
 |
| Surrender The Pink Lisa Vanderpump |
As we all know celebrities do everything bigger than us mere mortals. Lisa Vanderpump is no exception. Check out her decadent Birthday cake, fit, well, for a Queen. Lisa wears her crown well,
Frosted to the max in her favorite color, pink, duh. Adorned by two giant and I might add, ahem, quite thick sparklers...(wink, nudge) Lisa must be feeling her inner Marie Antoinette at her 56th celebration of her date of birth.
As an added bonus the staff and people dining at Pump where the Queen was presented her cake all sang HBD to her.
Yep, leave the crown where it is people, because nobody wears it better.

Coming Soon: "Madhouse"
Those F@cking Evil Twins!
Madhouse [Blu-ray + DVD] (6/13)
MANY PEOPLE VISIT ... NO ONE EVER LEAVES.
An Italian production shot entirely in Savannah, Georgia, Madhouse (aka And When She Was Bad and There Was a Little Girl) fuses slasher elements with the over-the-top excess of '80s Italian terror - resulting in a cinematic bloodbath so gut-wrenching that the British authorities saw fit to outlaw it as a "video nasty".
Helmed by legendary producer/director Ovidio Assonitis, the man behind such cult favourites as The Visitor and Piranha II: The Spawning, Madhouse is a crimson-soaked tale of sibling rivalry taken to a terrifying and bloody extreme.
Julia has spent her entire adult life trying to forget the torment she suffered at the hands of her twisted twin Mary... but Mary hasn't forgotten. Escaping hospital, where she's recently been admitted with a horrific, disfiguring illness, Julia's sadistic sister vows to exact a particularly cruel revenge on her sibling this year - promising a birthday surprise that she'll never forget.

Star Lord Gets A "Star"
 |
| Star Lord, Has A Star & So Does Chris Pratt |
Yes, the man from the stars, who is a Lord portrayed by Pratt in the Marvel films now has been immortalized as a star on a sidewalk in Hollywood so you can walk all over him with your boots, or whatever your footwear of choice is.
Alright enough of my irreverence, the lovable Chris had this to say to his wife Anna Faris at his star ceremony: “I want to thank my wife Anna, I love you. You’ve given me so much. You gave me the greatest star in the galaxy in my little boy, I love him and I love you.”
Awwwwwwwwww...now you know what to get me for my Birthday, a Chris Pratt type of guy.
Happy Earth Day!

Happy Birthday To Me!
 |
| Baby It's Cold Outside Michael Shinafelt |
Yes, it is a day for me to celebrate indeed. I am someone who has went through a clinical depression and came out the other end of it. It took a lot of work, therapy and self examination. There were a lot of times I never thought my life would ever be good again.
Let me say to those of you out there who may be in the same situation. Never give up! It may seem bleak, but if you hang in there and give it time, care and mostly be kind to yourself, it will get better. Sure there are things I still want that I don't have, but I know I will get them. Why? Because when you overcome it you will have the power to achieve anything!
It's 44 degrees at 5:03 ayem here in Los Angels, CA on December 18th 2016, the day of my 51st Birthday. I am thankful for my Family, Friends and most of all my amazing Life!
My wish for my Birthday is for all of you to have one of the best days of the rest of your lives.
Happy Birthday Everyone!

It's Santa Mickey!

| Not A Creature Was Stirring, Except For Mickey Mouse! Ryan Reynolds, Mickey Mouse & Blake Lively |
Apparently the twosome were there celebrating their daughter James' second Birthday. Happy, Happy James!
What made me cross over to the saccharine side? If you have ever been to Disneyland at Christmas time you would understand just how much more magical it is this time of year. It can turn any Scrooge into a Tiny Tim. I was there last year in December and had a truly enchanted day.
The theme park's halls are decked with the most festive of decor and the happy factor is off the hook!
Speaking of which, Happy Saturday to and to all a good one!
PS Although I had a blast, I must say I am a bit grouchy that I did not get a photo with Santa Mickey too...Bah Humbug!

It's Mother's Day!
 |
| Happy Mother's Day! l-r My Sister, Mom & Me |
Today I am honoring two women, my Mom and my Sister. While my Sister obviously isn't my Mom but she is an amazing Step Mom to my three awesome nieces. Also it is my wonderful siblings Birthday today as well.
Sue is the best Sister in the world. She is always there for me with her love and support and most importantly if I need to confide in someone she can keep a secret.
My Mom is always there for me as well. Her belief in me and the path I am on never falters. Of course we aren't always on the same page, but the love is unconditional.
The photo above was taken outside the Tides Tavern (in case you couldn't tell) in Gig Harbor, WA when I was visiting for Christmas after we all had lunch there. I remember it well. I had my first steak and brie sandwich, YUM!
Good Times! Miss you two, love you and I will see you again soon.
Happy Mother's Day Mom & Sue.
Happy Birthday Sis, no I won't say how old you are <wink>

Sandy has this to say to all of you on this Valentine's Day: "Whatever your plans and wherever you are I wish you all love, health and happiness, Happy Valentine's Day, Love Sandy."

Unconditional Love Shara Strand: "I Will Carry You"
"I'm more about telling a story than I am about vocal gymnastics" Pop Princess Shara Strand to yours truly, Michael Shinafelt "Chorus and Verse"
When I first interviewed Shara Strand for "Chorus and Verse" I knew she was something special, not only was she a gifted singer, she was also a ball of positive energy that is so infectious you can not help liking her.
The release of her second single "I Will Carry You" really hits all of this home, let's hear what Shara has to say about it:
"I Will Carry You" is a song about true love, partnership, and support- and mirrors the great place I am in now, after the "Jekyll or Hyde" type relationships. I am so happy my second single is released and hope my fans love many of the remixes"!
Thanks Shara!

Ponyboy Likes "Dick, Dick, Dick"
Yes, the boys are releasing the abovementioned CD on April the 9th but it's about the fun kind of dick, not the jerk kind...
Here to tell us about it are Ponyboy themselves, Charles McVey and David Zey!
MS: You guys just got done rehearsing are you all hot and sweaty?
DZ: Yes Sir!
MS: This must be David, how are you boy?
DZ: Good Sir!
MS: That's my boy! It's interesting how with this CD you guys are back to where you started with your insightful, satirical social commentary of your first CD "Little Dick Demo" after venturing into really dark territory with your sophomore CD about serial killer Luka Magnotta "Pussy Killer".
CMcV: The songs from "Little Dick Demo" and "Dick, Dick, Dick" were written at the same time, within the first year of us being a band. That's why they have that familiarity to it. This album is a lot more representative of what we sound like live, I think, where "Pussy Killer" had a lot of bells and whistles in it.
 |
| This Shit is Bananas: Charles McVey and David Zey |
CMcV: Sometimes we do piss people off, because they are not looking deeper into what our music is saying. That's OK with me, I was always interested in artists who had some sort of depth to them, we usually have two layers of ideas involved in our songs. Whether it be satirical or with some kind of homo angst all kind of wrapped together, very tongue in cheek.
MS: It was interesting to me that you are back to the basic origin of your musical themes and you took a unexpected detour as soon as you did, with "Pussy Killer" - It still jelled with your identity as a band, but...
CMcV: Well, the "Dick, Dick, Dick" record was already in production when we did "Pussy Killer". "Pussy Killer" really would have been a later release, but we wanted to release it on Luka Magnotta's 30th Birthday. Therefore there was a time factor involved.
MS: You guys are influenced by a lot of classic imagery, it reminds me of classic Madonna when she would take older references and make them her own.
CMcV: Definitely! I like Madonna a lot! I don't really keep up with contemporary pop music but I like her better than Brittney Spears.
MS: You guys really push buttons, like Ms. M, what line wouldn't you cross?
DZ: No shit and no blood!
MS: Rumor has it Grumpy Cat hates Ponyboy.
MS: Uh, no I saw it and laughed. Being hated by Grumpy Cat is very special actually.
CMcV: I think so too.
MS: What do you think of freeballing?
CMcV: I'm a fan!
MS: David?
DZ: I prefer it, generally speaking. I don't like underwear, it's just extra bullshit you have to wear.
MS: Unless I am going out to a function or something, I freeball the other day when I looked in the mirror I noticed I tent out. (laughs)
DZ: No one would see the ridge of my dick if I didn't do it otherwise. (laughs)
MS: Exactly! That's important. (laughs) One last question, how did you guys meet?
DZ: On Craigslist. My Ex-Boyfriend like to hook up with dudes off of Craigslist. I was never really into that it felt really awkward to me. Anyway my X was into that bullshit, and he came across an ad in the men for men section - it was an ad looking for other gay musicians in the area. He hollered to me: "Honey, look at this Craigslist ad that I found". I'm like, Fuck no seriously I'm not into it. He's like: "It's different, this one's different, it's asking for musicians". So, I just responded: "I am gay I like metal, hardcore and rock-n-roll...I play drums, guitar, etc"...We got together jammed a few times and it all worked out.
MS: Very cool. It's a good marriage, don't you think?
Both: Yes!
"Dick, Dick, Dick" releases April 9th.

"Diamonds" NYU
Here is a gem (pun intended) of a song that a friend sent me for my Birthday they thought I would like, it's a cover of the Rihanna song "Diamonds" by students attending the Clive Davis Institute at New York University.
Rihanna could learn a thing or two, OK a whole lot from these talented musicians.
A very inspired cover from this group of students, and since it is my Birthday and I liked it, I am posting it on "Entertain Me".
Happy Birthday to me and to the rest of you an early Christmas present from me....ho ho ho... ; )

Ponyboy Releases: "Pussy Killer"
"I know why you did what you did...you wanted to make people think" - "Luka" Ponyboy
Indie-rockers, Ponyboy. are independently releasing a three-part project inspired by the crimes and ensuing media frenzy of accused killer Luka Rocca Magnotta on his thirtieth birthday. The project consists of a six-track CD titled “Pussy Killer”, an art-house remake of the viral video “1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick”, and a music video for their song, “Luka”.
The self-described “art-fag” band is using the Magnotta case as a platform to address our culture’s fascination with violent crime. The bulk of the work is in the forty minute album, “Pussy Killer”, the title being a reference to suspicions that Magnotta killed cats in online videos in 2010. The album’s concluding track, “1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick” was actually scored to the original viral video of the same name with abrasive guitar noise and howls mimicking the action onscreen.
“1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick” is also the soundtrack and title of the Ponyboy. remake of the gruesome shock video available on DVD. Recently, a one minute trailer for the film was age-restricted by YouTube staff after they received complaints. The band has also made a music video for their song “Luka”. The song and video are a tribute to Magnotta from the perspective of a fan and potential future killer.
My Ponyboy's have come a long way from their humble beginnings here on "Entertain Me" (The first PB chat: http://mshinafelt.blogspot.com/2011/09/10-stupid-questions-with-ponyboy.html) - The "Boys" have brought their brand of satire and commentary to a way darker subject matter, hey Charles McVey talk to Daddy....
MS: Why do a record on the Magnotta case?
CMcV: I became interested in the Magnotta case shortly before he was caught, and I assume there are a few specific reasons why I was drawn to it. First of all the case was so extreme. Every article I read became more and more horrific as the story unfolded. The fact that the dismemberment video was posted online was just so over the top, and it felt to me like it was almost a new type of crime; a crime for the internet generation. It was the beginning of June and there was already a ton of stuff online about it. I probably researched it for four hours the first night. Also, there were tons of posts from Luka and clues online on various social media sites and YouTube. It really tweaked my sleuthing nerve. I remember noticing that there were videos posted before the crime was actually committed a couple of days before people really started talking about it. But even more intriguing to me than the horrible things Magnotta is accused of was the idea that he had done this all for fame and his extreme narcissism, as well as the ensuing frenzy of "Luka Fans" and "Luka Haters" online.
MS: How does it tie in with the rest of Ponyboy's work?
CMcV: From day one, Ponyboy. has written songs about outcasts and dark subjects. I'm sure that the gay side of the story, the idea that he killed "a lover", was something that made it feel like it fit in. And for the last few years my work has had an ongoing relationship of sorts with people in the porn community. But on top of that, Magnotta's back story is rather sad and fucked up. It seems pretty obvious he was abused in the past, and when you watch video of him being interviewed you can just tell he's full of shit and just saying what he thinks the recipient wants to hear. There were just so many angles to come at this story from, and the writing came really naturally, now that I think of it.
MS: Isn't releasing a project about Magnotta on his birthday just giving him what he wants by feeding his ego?
CMcV: He's already famous. This case is pretty well known at this point, and I don't think there's much that an indie rock band from Kansas can do to alter or impact that in either direction. I don't think the lyrical content of "Pussy Killer" is complementary to Magnotta, and I didn't feel like the fact that it's still a sore spot for people was a reason enough not to do it. If fact it seems more appropriate to make this kind of gesture while the wound is still fresh in the public's mind. However, it seems we have already moved on to horror in Colorado.

R.I.P. - Donna Summer
I first stumbled upon Donna Summer's music when I was a teenager and Disco was hot! Although it was never my favorite type of music Donna elevated Disco to a whole new level with her powerful vocals and spot on song interpretations.
I will always remember the first Donna Summer album I was given as a Birthday present, "Bad Girls" - That was a very Happy Birthday indeed.
Donna thank you for some great memories, you will always be Disco to me.
