Emma Stone!

Kudos!
Emma Stone

OK, who says the Oscars are predictable (for the most part they are) didn't have John Cena presenting Best Costume Design naked on their Bingo Card.

They also more than likely didn't have the truly deserving Emma Stone walking off with Best Actress for Poor Things on it either, so there!

Let's face facts, we all thought Oscar was going to make history and give the gold to Lily Gladstone as the first Native American Woman to be nominated for one in Killlers of the Flower Moon.

TBH (I may catch some flack for not being PC here) she did not deserve it. While her work was nomination worthy it was nowhere near the level of what Ms. Stone did with her one of a kind creation of Bella Baxter.

Surprising as it may be who deserved to win in this category actually did win much to the shock and awe of the Oscar and viewing audience.

Anyway it's Monday and aren't you happy?!

Hump Day & Chill

Let's Hump Day & Chill for the amazing Oscar Nominee who stars in Poor Things Ms. Emma Stone!

Have you seen Poor Things? It's totally different head that's for sure, that being stated Emma Stone is truly amazing in it. She goes to a whole new level of creativity with her role of Bella Baxter.

OK, enough of the hyperbole what I really want to know is WTF does the condom quote mean? It's clearly taken out of context yet there was no explanation as to what the actual reference is.

Perplexing indeed!

So let's be thankful for what we have and that's Emma, who is a gift to the world, nobody does it quite like her. Yep, she's one of a kind.

Now run along and Hump Day & Chill

Stick It To Me

Boing!
Emma Stone

In case you haven't figured it out via the byline today is National Something On A Stick Day - Woo Hoo, Yay!

While there are many things I can personally think of that I love on a stick, none of them can be posted on this blog. 

Thus we have what else? Emma Stone on a Pogo Stick, boing!

See Emma bounce up and down on her stick per se, looks like fun when done a certain way other than Ms. Stone's.

But she is quite graceful her way, beauty, elegance & style all on a stick, yummy!

Don't Be Cruel(la)

That's So Punk!
Emma Stone

So one of the buzz's of the week was an image of Emma Stone as Cruella De Vil from the upcoming Disney origin story "Cruella" from the classic "101 Dalmatians."

Of course the Twitter-verse went into overdrive Tweeting like an angry bird frenzy about Stone's look in the upcoming dog tail.

"Uh is tim Burton directing this," asked Andy Signore on Twitter, referencing her "Edward Scissorhands" look.

"EMMA STONE COMO CRUELLA DE VIL... DISNEY STOP THIS,"

"She doesn't really fit the right class for her decade in this outfit. She looks more like a middle class thug in New Orleans than Upper Crust London,"

"More like this," said another person, comparing Stone's look to Frank N. Furter from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

The new look was revealed during Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.

Stone made a video appearance during the expo, revealing that the film will be set in London's punk rock era of the 1970s.

Phew that explains it all. Although I took to the look right off the bat myself...I guess I'm not a hardcore stickler when it comes to historically accurate details in a film about a mad woman who wants a coat made of Dalmatians.

Mic Drop!

Ph-Ph-Ph Photobomb!

Dropping Bombs
Emma Stone & Jennifer Lawrence

Being it's Monday and all let's start the week off with something that will hopefully set the tone for the rest of it - levity in the form of a celebrity photobomb!

Whose bombing who? Well it's none other than Jennifer Lawrence dropping the bomb on her friend Emma Stone at the Governor's Awards in Los Angeles. 

Hello? What's that you say? Who, what, why are the Governor's Awards? Honestly I don't know. I suppose I could Google it and find out, but nah, it really doesn't matter to me. If it does to you feel free to let your fingers do the walking.

Frankly all I care about is this fun image of two friends and the only kind of bomb one should drop.

Got it? Smile it's Monday minions!

Michael's Musings

Come To Daddy
Michael Shinafelt

Another week has passed and the Academy Awards made history twice in one show can you believe it?! One time for something progressive and liberal and another for the biggest error on an Oscar telecast ever. So big that even if you didn't tune in, you heard about it all over the news.

Never fear I am here this week to address both of those moments and more. It's time for me to crack that whip!

Moonlight, which happened to be my favorite film of the year, won the Best Picture Oscar. Thus making Academy Award history as the first film with an all black cast to do so.

Whatever actually went down backstage and on stage Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty made Oscar history by announcing the incorrect Best Picture winner as La La Land only to have some dude from Price Waterhouse come and make the situation right.

Am I the only one who sees a commercial for Kong: Skull Island and thinks Kong: Skull Fuck Island?

Once upon a time there was a transvestite hooker fresh from a trick...

Remember: No matter what you think, I am always way ahead of you

Eat a hot dog and go home, or not

For the record I love Million Reasons by Lady Gaga, but the song really makes no sense. She has a million reasons to let someone go, but if they give her one good one they can stay? Do the math...

Can someone please tell me why? Yeah, I thought not.

A shout out to my friend Naama Kates, her indie film which she wrote, directed not to mention starred in Sorceress is out now! I highly recommend it. You can find it here: http://a.co/fzLrOq8

Just say no to blowing aliens for space Range Rovers

I was pleased Emma Stone won Best Actress for La La Land. The film, while entertaining was incredibly overrated. She really elevated the material and brought a lot of depth and heart to her role.

Until we cyber again, don't do anything I wouldn't do, but if you do, name it after me!

"The Help" Reunion

Can We Help?
l-r Octavia Spence, Emma Stone & Viola Davis

Since this Sunday is Oscar Sunday and all three of these ladies are up for an Academy Award, I thought this was a fitting image for the Friday leading into the hallowed event.

Here we have Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone and Viola Davis at the 2017 nominees luncheon. Yes, the cast members from The Help are reunited and it felt so good.

Spencer posted the photo op on her Instagram with this caption:

"Today was so fun it felt like graduation. Especially seeing my #HelpAlums. Congrats to all nominees especially these two!!" 

Pretty cool that three women who shared an experience all all up for the Big "O" this year.

While I'm at it let me state Viola Davis is a shoo in for supporting actress for her work in Fences and Emma Stone is my personal favorite (and is predicted to win by many) for best actress in La La Land.

Congratulations you three and have fun Sunday!

Immortal: Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone

We're Immortal!
Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling

OK, it's not very often I get to the movies, nor is it often I anticipate one either. Well hold onto your nether regions I can't wait to see the Hollywood themed musical La La Land. For sure I will be paying for an overpriced ticket and reserved seating at a gargantuan multiplex to view this.

To publicize the release of the film, it's stars, Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone, two of my favorites, became immortal this past Wednesday by putting their hand prints in cement at the world famous TLC Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Wow, how cool is that?!

Congrats on the honor you two and on all the accolades La La Land has been receiving.

T.G.I.F - see you at the movies!!! Hit the trailer after the jump!

From Asian To Lesbian: Emma Stone

Top: Billie Jean King & Bobby Riggs
Bottom: Emma Stone & Steve Carell

Emma Stone is quite the versatile actress. I actually loved her in Easy A and Zombieland. Although I have not caught her in anything past that. Hey you have to be in something I actually want to see for me to attend and The Help just didn't cut it for me. Neither did re-booting Spiderman. 

Even your turn as a part Asian woman, which drew some controversy for Aloha could not get me to watch. That film looked so D.O.A. in the commercials anyway and the protest groups were the most attention that piece of celluloid got. 

Next up for Emma? She will be out tennis legend Billie Jean King in Battle of the Sexes. The film focuses on her tennis match with arrogant male chauvinist pig and publicity whore Bobby Riggs played by Steve  Carell. 

This actually has the potential to be interesting. I do wonder if anyone will protest Stone playing a Lesbian when she is not one though? To me that would be ridiculous, but....

So Cool: Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield: Peek-A-Boo We See You!

Although I have had ample opportunity, living in Los Angeles, CA and all. This is something I have never done or will do.

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield have to be the coolest couple of all time.

Whilst the two were merrily dining in New York City, they were spotted by a fan who thought they would play the spy game by trying to snap a photo of the two stars of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Oooooooops! Epic fail! Catching the fan in the act, instead of yelling, slugging or screaming at the amateur paparazzo, they photo bombed their own picture.

Love these two!

The snap happy fan wrote this about the her attempted bid to join the paparazzi wanna be's: 

"Ok, so... either I caught a great moment between #AndrewGarfield & #EmmaStone or I clearly got caught and I am officially FIRED as a paparazzi...#oops," she captioned the pic she posted on Instagram.

Awwwwwwwww: Emma Stone & David Letterman

Aren't They Cute? Emma Stone & David Letterman

Claiming to have only recently learned the word "selfie" Emma Stone stopped by The Late Show for some Holiday cheer and posed for a few with  host David Letterman.

The results are too cute! They look adorable hamming it up for the camera on Dave's phone.

Also DL's medical explanations for his and Stone's appearances in the images are spot on.

Looks like you guys are having a blast! Enjoy the merriment below:
