Tis The Season..."White Christmas"

"I'm Dreaming Of A..." - Sandy Zacky

Today I am feeling somewhat (not entirely) remiss. There are merely 17 days left until Christmas and, like, I haven't even acknowledged the Holiday this month.

Well I am rectifying that today, Monday December 7, 2020! Being as we could use all of the Holiday cheer we can get this year, I hereby bequeath you with the resident Diva at Entertain Me, Sandy with a "Y" not "E" and her rendition of the classic "White Christmas."

No need to thank me, just give Sandy's lovely take on the sentimental favorite below.

It's the perfect way to kick off your week, and a perfect way to start the countdown to Christmas (say that three times fast) here on Entertain Me!

Now stop being a Grinch and listen closely. Christmas is just around the corner...Ho Ho Ho!

I have always loved this time of year, and to think we have this opportunity to all come together as one big Alarm family through the wonders of the internet via Moment House is a Christmas miracle all of it’s own.”

This Is Not Season 2

As far as this guy is concerned Christmas is coming December 6th. That's correct Minions Euphoria is a back for two one hour shows, but it's not season 2.

Unfortunately season 2 got sidelined by you know what, that darn COVID. But fear not until the next season happens we have these upcoming episodes to bridge the gap, fill our addiction, make us want more...Euphoria!

Zendaya who won an Emmy (rightfully so) for her portrayal of Rue has spilled that the first bridge episode is called Part 1: Rue.

In case you haven't picked up on it, to say I am a huge fan of the show would be putting it, well, mildly. I really can't wait for December 6th to come! Not only did I watch the first season when it initially aired I binged it when HBO had a marathon of it.

Euphoria is such a densely packed show that you will see something different upon repeat viewings.

Now THAT's entertainment!

Merry Christmas!

Santa Baby
Marilyn Monroe

Hey Ho, Ho, Ho's Merry Christmas. Santa Daddy is taking some down time today. Thus he leaves you with the amazing Marilyn Monroe crooning her rendition of Santa Baby for your Holiday gift.

That's correct I'm a giver, tis the season.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, now sit on my lap, and listen to Marilyn after the jump!

Monday Motivation

Special Delivery
Hugh Jackman

OK, it's almost here, the Big "C" draws nigh...and you know what's on my mind? Indulging in Holiday Cheer while still honoring all the hard work I put into my body and not letting it all go to waste.

So who better to inspire us to that mind set than Hugh Jackman. With a mere two days to go behold, unto you Monday Motivation is bestowed in the form of The Jackman! Because, well, he's jacked.

While I pretty sure my body will never reach the heights of what his has. Mr. Jackman does inspire and motivate nonetheless.

He has a great upper body, which is my problem area. I have obtained bigger arms of late and am regaining some of the ab definition I lost when I was laid up for four months post surgery. Hugh is motivating me to stay focused.

Not to mention he has a package for all of you on this last Monday before Christmas. It's in plain view and what a nice view it is, if you get my drift (I think you do.)

Time to MM minions!

3 More Days...

Muskrat Love?
Kristin Cavalarri & Jay Cutler

Yep only three more days, if you have to ask until what, then I guess you must be living under a reindeer. Thus I thought we would celebrate today with the too cute for Christmas Couple Kristin Cavalarri & Jay Cutler.

With the Season 3 premiere of Very Cavalarri looming on Thursday, Jan. 9 at 9 p.m. ET, I thought perfect because commerce is part of what Christmas is all about. Don't pretend it isn't minions.

Now that we got that our of the way, moving on, forward never backward, especially not sideways.

Other than the commercial tie in, this shot of the couple made visions of the video for the song Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses dance in my head. If you aren't familiar that's what YouTube is for.

So now that I have some sort of Holiday feels, I guess I should think about spreading some Holiday Cheer. "Yes" it's time to Ho, Ho, Ho!

Monday Motivation

Rock On With Your Bad Sweater!
Ozzy Osbourne

With a scant 9 days until Christmas I thought I would motivate you with the gift of laughter. "Yes" today's Monday Motivation arrives in the form of Ozzy Osbourne wearing an ugly Gremlins inspired Christmas Sweater.

Seriously are there truly any good looking Christmas Sweaters? Aren't they all by law ugly AF?

But this particular one really stood out when I spied it. It made me recoil, repulsed, had my head spinning round 360 degrees, yet at the root of all that tomfoolery was laughter.

Yeah, I am giver, and so is Ozzy apparently, or is it unwittingly?

Honestly I don't know how anyone celebrity or otherwise thinks the Christmas Sweaters they wear are not an assault on the senses of common decency.

Now get motivated, it's Monday after all!!!

Michael's Musings

I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas...
Michael Shinafelt

"Heaven help me for the way I am, Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand, But I keep livin' this day
Like the next will never come" - Criminal, Fiona Apple

I guess this classic from the great Fiona Apple wasn't what you might could be expecting so close to Christmas. Well don't ever gossip that I can be pigeonholed. In fact perhaps you should never gossip at all, if you are getting my drift in a snow covered hill, and make sure the landslide doesn't bring you down with it Darlin'... "Yes" that was shade.

Tacky as usual, or is it unusually tacky?

Kendall Jenner telling X Harry Styles that Mother of three Kourtney Kardashian is the worst parent out of all her sisters, now That's Entertainment!

You got your stripper girlfriend to bang a married man? Was her name Melania?

"Really I’m just tweeting about Christmas lights because I can’t handle the impending civil war" - Liz Phair

Just a reminder that the President's Children are straight up grifter trash too

Think happy thoughts, say it three times fast, maybe Tinkerbell won't die

Can anyone actually win over Renee Zellweger for her amazing portrayal of Judy Garland this Awards Season?

Put a little lust in your life

Naughty or Nice isn't a thing anymore, did you get caught?

Woman Crush of the Week - Kerry Washington, because according to Vogue Magazine her "Gilded Twists Are a Seasonal Showstopper" indeed!

Where's the Grinch when you need him? I ask you? I'm waiting...

Ford v Ferrari? Eff that I want to take a ride on Christian Bale

I found it in synthetic form

May all your Christmases be white. How long before that phrase gets called out as racist?!

Monday Motivation

Santa's Helper
Katy Perry

With Christmas looming large on the horizon today's Monday Motivation is the "Christmas Spirit."

Yeah, I could use me some of that. Whilst I am not in a bah humbug state of mind, I am very relaxed and non-committal to Holiday Cheer at present. Christmas Chill if you will.

Thus I am enlisting Katy Perry to give me a Holiday High Five dressed in her best Seasonal Chic for the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball (say that three times fast) in Los Angeles.

Hey if anyone can put a smile on your face is that wacky Katy, fer sure!

So throw another candy cane on the tree and stoke that Christmas fire burning within your loins. It's time to get your Monday Motivation on and go Christmas or go home.

I'd like Eggnog with a double shot please!!!

Seventeen Days Until, You Know...

The Stockings Were Hung...
l-r
Seth Rogen, Santa Claus & James Franco

The countdown to Christmas has heated up with a mere seventeen days until the Holiday of Holidays arrives. Thus I thought it would be fun to show a weird Celebrity Christmas Card.

Bare witness (literally) to James Franco and Seth Rogen sitting on Santa's lap, uh, naked. Except for the stockings hung by the, never mind. Nudity, it's what Christmas is all about, and giving, something to Santa perhaps? Yeah, that's the ticket.

Does this make visions of sugar plums dance in your heads? It's giving me visions of something that's for sure!

With Christmas almost here, what do you want Santa to stuff your stocking with? "Yes" that was a euphemism.

Ho, ho, ho...

OK, All Right

David Archuleta

Cyrus Panganiban & Lisa Paquette

SPRING TOUR DATES ON SALE FRIDAY DECEMBER 6, 2019

David Archuleta has announced he will hit the road in spring 2020 for a six week trek across North America in support of his forthcoming new pop album release. The tour, dubbed “OK, All Right” after his upcoming new single will begin on March 30, 2020 in Los Angeles, CA and weave through such cities as Boston & Chicago before hitting New York in early May. Tickets for all dates go on-sale Tuesday, December 6 here: https://davidarchuleta.com/home/live/

This past summer David ventured into new territories with his music and released a new pop single “Paralyzed.” “Paralyzed was a bit of a venting song. I get frustrated watching myself hesitate so much, and not let go of things from the past that I know I should. A lot of those past things are fears, anger, resentment, and I see how they all form excuses in my mind of why I can’t move forward. I watch as missed opportunities fly by and I just do nothing, because I freeze. It gets me so frustrated! This song is the battle with those paralyzing thoughts and I intend to be the victor.” Says David

The video was directed by Brian Petchers (Meghan Trainor, Sena, Wiz Khalifa) and can be viewed on David’s official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/XbrSTF3gGAk and https://www.youtube.com/user/theofficialarchuleta/

David is currently on a nationwide Christmas tour in support of his holiday album Winter In The Air which was named one of “12 Christmas Albums To Play On Repeat” by People Magazine https://people.com/music/celebrity-christmas-albums-holiday-season/#david-archuleta-winter-in-the-air . The disc features the hit single “Christmas Every Day” and brand new cover of NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” - https://youtu.be/yr6UP-I7LDc

The deluxe edition of “Winter In The Air” is available here: https://lnk.to/WITADeluxe. David is also writing new material for his next album scheduled to be released in 2020.

I wasn’t sure if they’d say yes, but I’m so glad that they were up for it and having some fun. It’s meant to be cheesy and light, and I hope people will get a kick watching it.” says David.

“Everyone was so much fun to work with. It was great to relive this song and do it with one of my best friends on the planet, Lance.” Said Chris Kirkpatrick with Lance Bass stating “It’s an honor to have David’s incredible voice cover this iconic song.
