Odd Couple

Meow!
Taylor Swift & James Corden

New Couple Alert! Bare witness to Taylor Swift and James Corden out on the town. JK Last night was the premiere of the movie Cats and the two of them co-star in it. But how fun would it be if they were really dating? Yeah, I thought so too 😃

Anyway, "Yes" about last night, it was the premiere of the movie musical Cats and it was a big to do. Director Tom Hooper says he finished the final cut of the film 36 hours before the premiere. Wow! That's really "cutting" it close! 

Oddly enough, or perhaps not. There is no word on how good it is or isn't really. That may be because of it getting it's final touches at the last minute, or it could be that they fear the critics will not like it.

Personally I have not interest in seeing it one way or the other. Nothing about it appeals to me which is why, never have I ever seen the Andrew Lloyd Webber show.

C'est La Vie!

2 Cows & A Milkmaid

Milk Me!
l-r
Kunal Nayyar, James Corden & Anna Faris

It's the weekend time for some levity. Well honestly, it's always time for levity, but even more when the weekend has arrived and one needs to decompress.

Behold a photo of James Corden and Kunal Nayyar bringing their milkshake to the yard as a couple of cows with milkmaid Anna Faris giving them udder satisfaction.

Obviously this is for Corden's Late, Late Show....the only question left is why?

Why cows & a milkmaid? Why not two horses & a cowgirl? Sheep with Little Bo Peep? Oh that's right, she lost them, next! You get the idea, keep 'em flowing...

Too much to ponder on a Saturday? Perhaps, but much more fun than the image of Russian hookers giving GS to Jabba the Hutt.

Mic Drop!

Just Because...Drew Barrymore

Team Jake
Drew Barrymore

Just Because it's the weekend, Just Because the Santa Clarita Diet is in season deux & Just Because she's holding a sign that makes you go Hmmmmmm - "Yes" peeps it's Drew Barrymore at the premiere of her hit Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet in Hollywood.

OK, while I love me some Drew I am not sure why she is holding a sign that says "I Heart Jake Gyllenhaal" at her premiere.

Am I missing something??? Well apparently I am - as a little bird called the WWW informed me that Ms. Barrymore ranked Jake as her least talented co-star on The Late, Late Show With James Corden. It was either that or....drum roll please, or eat a turkey testicle.

Thus our intrepid Drew carried a sign declaring her love for Jake down that red carpet on her special night. That Drew always a giver.

Literacy, It's A Thing

Funny Bunny
James Corden

With Peter Rabbit opening February 9th the voice of the famed hare, James Corden took to the bunny trail to read the book the movie is based on to a group of school children.

He also announced Blue Jacket Day which drops on February the 3rd. The directive of the day is to promote literacy amongst kids. You read correct, on that day parents are to take their children to the, "gasp" library!

I remember in days of yore I went to the library quite frequently as a child. I actually won a library summer reading competition believe it or not. "Yes" I was the kid who read the most books that summer out of all the other ones participating. I don't recall how many that was, but I kicked some bookworm ass! 

Moving on...literacy it's a thing, mic drop!

Ho, I'll Tell You What I Want...

Come To Santa...
James Corden

"I wanna, really, really, really wanna zigazig ah" - Wannabe, Spice Girls 

Perhaps this is what The Late Late Show host the adorable James Corden whispered into Santa's ear that he wanted for Christmas during KIIS FM's Jingle Ball Concert.

That and more carpool karaoke anyone? Of course you want more! 

All kidding aside I would really like to know what transpired between Mr. Claus & Mr. Corden. They would be better off telling me because if I fill in the blank it could become quite scandalous when it was pretty innocuous to begin with.

I've got Jingle Bottom my trusty Christmas spy hot on the trail to find out for all of you, and moi, and when I do I will spill right here, right now on the pages of Entertain Me, until then shake your booty if you want a white Christmas! 

Ciao for now! Me and Jingle Bottom have werk to do!

All I Want For Christmas...

No Fluorescent Lighting!
Mariah Carey

Right off the bat let me make this declaration that I have never been, nor will I ever be a fan of Mariah Carey. That being stated, who doesn't think of her song All I Want For Christmas this time of year?! Of course you do!

James Corden brilliantly paid homage to it in a recent edition of his too cool Carpool Karaoke series. Where it looked like Mariah's right breast was ready to cause a huge wardrobe malfunction the entire time.

Which brings us to the curious fact that I am watching her eight part series Mariah's World on E! It's the proverbial train wreck you can't tear your eyes away from. 

Also, since I have never really cared about or followed Ms. Carey's career, there are a few interesting revelations here and there. My personal gem was how former husband Tommy Mottola basically kept her under lock and key when they were married making her write music all the time and because of that she never really toured. Yeah, I never noticed, but apparently she didn't tour until recent years.

Then there is the usual diva biz, like only being photographed in fluorescent light with her sunglasses on. If I have to explain the reason behind that to you...I didn't think so.

Only five more days until Christmas, check out Mariah, James and a whole bunch of other big names sing All I Want For Christmas below!

Twerking Tuesday

Twerking Is No Laughing Matter
Madonna & James Corden

Coming Wednesday as in tomorrow, Madonna makes her Carpool Karaoke debut with James Corden on The Late Late Show. 

In honor of her Madgesty's debut I hereby decree today, December 6th Twerking Tuesday! As you know Madonna just had to show off her twerking skills, which she does in the teaser image above, to "Bitch I'm Madonna."

On a side note it seems Twerking has officially entered the spell check wheel house as it is the first time I have used it that it did not get flagged as a misspelled word.

We are also going to get a taste of the two performing "Vogue" and a kiss and tell story about Madonna's evening with Michael Jackson at the Oscars. 

I hope they do the song song "Deeper and Deeper" too, off of my favorite Madonna album "Erotica" but somehow I doubt that will make the cut, I must tune in tomorrow night to find out!

Get teased and get twerking below!

Michael's Musings

Who's Your Daddy?
Michael Shinafelt

The second or third sign of fall weather is happening right now in Los Angeles. The other times it happened the following week after it went back up to 90 degrees. We'll see if this time it will stick, in the meantime it's Thursday, time for me to do my usual sounding off!

Remember when just last year Helena Handbasket was the name of a Drag Queen and not the place the United States was headed?

Can anyone recommend a place that makes sturdy dog tags for people?

Kendall Jenner reveals why she deleted her Instagram account...and I now have one, and aren't you happy?!

Madonna is going to do Carpool Karaoke with James Corden... Tricks! Not! 

FYI - I'm not political, I'm anti-asshole

TBT: She's Sharon Stone, Bitch

Sharon Stone
The High School Years

It's Throwback Thursday peeps! Yay, Yahoo, Yippy Skippy and all that noise!!!

So I thought for it I would honor one of my favorite actresses by posting her High School yearbook photo: Sharon Stone.

As you can see Sharon has always been a beauty. Not only that, she has brains, a wicked sense of humor, not to mention some razor sharp basic instincts.

What's not to love about her?

Apparently she has problems with men approaching her for dates, I guess straight guys find her intimidating. 

So, she joined forces with funnyman James Corden for a rap video that brilliantly roasts her image, yet provides proof that Sharon has still got it at age 58!

Madonna could take some lessons from Stone on how to remain hot & sexy while aging gracefully.

Check out the video after the jump!
