Vibe

Watch Out!
Jennifer Lopez

While I am not a girl and definitely not a woman this fun photo of Jennifer Lopez is in tune with the exact "vibe" I am feeling at present.

Big bold and ready to push through anything that gets in my way! In other words BDE!

Call it Attack of the 50 Ft. Man, if you will, or not.

The choice is yours...

Happy Mother's Day!

With the recent passing of my Mom, I celebrated Mother's Day by watching The Mother starring Jennifer Lopez on Netflix. Yeah, it wasn't too coincidentally released this past Friday just in time for today. 

The Mother was fun, escapist fare, with a great performance by Lopez. It's akin to the old Hollywood star vehicles back in the day. 

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there. If your Mom is not with you remember the good times today. Celebrate those memories not the sadness.

More Cheese Please!

Guacamole on the Side
Jennifer Lopez

While surfing the WWW this ayem I was remiss to discover today is National Nachos Day. Why is that you may ask? Because I have lost 8lbs currently and have already indulged in my "cheat day" this week. Had I known what today was I would have RSVP'd for it, veering from eating well today and indulged in some delicious nachos, damn it!

As you can see even Jennifer Lopez who looks amazing at 52 has her cheat days as well. Here she is chowing down courtside at a Basketball game imbibing in nachos, naturally. Remember today it's all about the chip!

Thus I am going to have to put an embargo on the nachos until next week's "cheat day" in the meantime if you are not in the same position as moi, then WTF is stopping you from celebrating National Nachos Day? Celebrate and celebrate now!!!

Eat them, and eat them now...

Threesome

The Three Musketeers!

Here's the first photo to come from Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck's inner circle celebrating Jen's bestie Leah Remini's 51st Birthday, that must have been some party!

Jen had her hand on Ben's chest and a fierce look on her face. Ben kept one arm around each of the women, but kept his hand firmly on J.Lo's shoulder as they stared down the camera. 

"Wanted to share a little video from my birthday with you all because I got so much love from you on my birthday but also everyday," Leah "captioned the post on July 22. "I consider myself to have the best support system here on social media. Also, I can't thank my family & friends enough for coming, for celebrating with me in a way that was very special to me."

Yep, it's the threesome with the most cake...

Happy Thanksgiving and all that turkey stuff! Was thinking of blowing off my musings column today and merely posting a photo that wished everyone well, then I thought better of it.

Monday Motivation

Slay!
Jennifer Lopez

About last night...the E! People's Choice Awards happened, unlike fetch which Gretchen Wieners has yet to make a thing, and Jennifer Lopez was honored with the Icon Award.

So how is this Monday Motivation you ask? I'm glad you did, Jennifer is re-writing the book on what it means to be a 51 year old woman in Hollywood. "Yes" that's correct Minions J-Lo is 51 years of age. She is simply amazing, if you ask me, and others as well.

Thus the MM today, while we can't all be like J-Lo, especially if you are a dude. We can all try to be our own personal best. Whatever that entails for you. It doesn't even have to be a physical appearance type of thing. It can be mental or emotional, getting involved in a charity or your community. That's why Jennifer is this week's Monday Motivation poster grrrrrrl. She is a woman of many facets.

Get out there today and the rest of the week and slay like Ms. Lopez in her red hot Christian Siriano gown. You've got this!!!

It's Superbowl Sunday Minions!

My Hips Are Better Than Your Hips
Jennifer Lopez & Shakira

For those of you who are observant it's the High Holy Day of Football - Superbowl Sunday...Yay!

This year the San Francisco 49ers & the Kansas City Chiefs challenge each other to a duel on the astroturf. Don your helmets Gladiators! 

Me? I have to actually have a vested interest in one of  the teams playing to care about the outcome. Like the years my home state team the Seattle Seahawks were in it to win it.

There is of course always the half time show extravaganza, which this year features Jennifer Lopez whose career couldn't be any hotter at present. It also features Shakira, to me, inexplicably. 

So who I am rooting for at today's Superbowl? Team Jennifer Lopez for the win!

Ready for kickoff?

Christmas Is Over Jennifer Lopez!

Tragic
Jennifer Lopez

I can not let this week go by and not call out Jennifer Lopez for the tragic frock she donned for this year's Golden Globes. Since I mainly partake in the affair to see what the celebrities are wearing.

WTF J-Lo?! Ms. Lopez who is usually a fashion forward trailblazer apparently didn't get the memo that Christmas is over. "Yes" Jennifer there isn't a Santa Claus, obviously, because he would not allow you to dress like someone's unwanted Christmas Gift.

Honestly, if this is the influence A-Rod is going to have on you, perhaps you should stop consulting him on your fashion choices. That's correct Ms. Thang, go back to doing you!

Too bad the viewing public can't return this White Elephant gift...Ugh!

U Suck!
Cardi B

WTF?! Does the "B" in Cardi "B" stand for anyway?! Well if I was a betting sort of guy I would venture the "B" stood for B!tch! 

Personally I can't stand her music. On another note does the "Me Too" movement only apply to women?!

"Yes" minions.  Cardi B. has admitted to stealing from men under the influence whilst she was a stripper. Thus does this make her PC?  Not in the least.

Personally I find her as repellent as all the men out there who prey on women and find her as morally accountable as they are.

It's a shame she was cast autobiographically in Hustlers opposite the great Jennifer Lopez. 

WTF?! Were they thinking. I can't stand the rapist, I mean artist, I  mean POS known as Cardi B!  

Lopez & Rodriguez Sitting In A Tree...

The Beautiful People
Alex Rodriguez & Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G...so the ditty from my generations childhood goes. 

This photo of the two caught my attention because they both look so damned beautiful in it. I am sure you, like myself like beauty and since we need an escape from the real world on daily basis I'm her to assist you in that quest.

Sitting on a couch, no on the floor the two were snapped at the Guess Spring 2018 Campaign Reveal in Los Angeles. I sure hope the campaign holds a candle to these two stunners.

I really have nothing more to add since the image speaks for itself. 

T.G.I.F. - Enjoy the view!

It Takes Two

Girls Gone Wild
Vanessa Hudgens & Jennifer Lopez

After the big news of Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle yesterday and the continued barrage of press today (most likely up until the wedding) - I thought we might take a quieter turn today. To streets of New York to be exact.

It is unclear if they are shooting a scene together for their latest movie Second Act, or out for a winter run. See Jennifer Lopez run. See her run with Vanessa Hudgens. Run Jennifer & Vanessa run!

These two women are clearly headed somewhere, where, who knows, or perhaps they simply had ants in their pants between takes and thought they were born to run. 

Whatever the case, this is what I call a Tuesday Tease, you're welcome. Teasing is something I'm expert at and one should always play to ones strengths. 

Have a good one!

Just Because...Jennifer & Leah

Silly Selfie
Jennifer Lopez & Leah Remini

Just Because it's Friday, T.G.I.F people! Just Because they are BFF's and Just Because I love here show condemning Scientology - here are Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini clowning around on the set of their movie Second Act in NYC.

These two are the best of friends photographed out and about by the paparazzi many a times. When they're together who knows what they'll decided to do? Who knows what they'll get up to? I'd love to know, wouldn't you?

Now that they are working together for the first time playing BFF's it should make for an interesting finished film.

On another note, I am a huge fan of Remini's series on A&E condemning Scientology, Scientology and the Aftermath now in it's second season. The show digs deep and living a stones throw away from the big blue "church" featured frequently on the program gives it a little more oomph for me.

Moving on have a gruesome weekend only 4 more days until Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

Just Because it's Monday, just because it's hot everywhere and I feel like making it hotter & just because they're both so pretty I present to you this image of sizzling couple Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez.

This is one of those pairings that publicists dream about. Both are rich, photogenic and hot, hot, hot! Not to mention buzz worthy. You never know a PR lackey may have actually got them together in the first darn place.

Look they even dress to the nines for a simple evening of dining out while in Miami, Florida. One of my least favorite cities in the United States for the record. 

OK back to the subjects at hand. When was the last time a celebrity couple seemed so equal to one another in every little way I ask you?

Answer me, I'm waiting....

Weekly update. I lost ten, count them ten pounds over this past week. Why am I telling you this? Because I am very proud of it, so there.

Shopping From A - Z

Today we are celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. and that means most of you out there are rejoicing as it is another three day weekend. Cheers to that!

So I thought why not celebrate it with the time honored three day weekend tradition of, what else? Shopping...!!!

Witness one hot Mama, Jennifer Lopez posing for photos while out shopping in Los Angeles. It appears that she ditched the swag to play mannequin for the paparazzi. She gives good face, you must admit.

You just know she can shop 'till she drops too! 

Since shopping has never been my thing I plan on doing some cleaning & organizing today.

What are your plans?

In memory of Martin Luther King Jr. and in celebration of having an extra day to yourselves, have a good one!

Bye, Bye, Bye: American Idol

Wow it's the end of an era. Fifteen Seasons on the air and now it's over. I remember when American Idol was pretty much a social experiment and no one knew whether it would work or not. In the interest of full disclosure I stopped watching after the season Adam Lambert was on.

However it is no secret to most I am buddies with James Durbin who will be appearing on tonight's series finale, among others including the original Idol herself, Ms. Kelly Clarkson.

This factoid did not escape the most Dedicated Durbinator, Marissa Erickson who friended me on Facebook and followed me on Twitter when she saw my coverage of James.

Well she sent me some images from a live chat she participated in on Facebook during the rehearsals involving James for his performance to the final countdown to tonight's AI farewell.

She wrote this to me in a message:

"Today a live chat on face book from idol and James Durbin"

So here are images from Marissa's live chat enjoy tonight's final American Idol show!!!

"Big, big booty, What you got a big booty" - Jennifer Lopez & Iggy Azalea 

Female celebrities have been extolling the virtues of their big, round, bubble booties for quite sometime now.

I guess it's not really a guy thing? Well luckily Justin Bieber has taken one for the male team and has posted numerous photos of his hot bubble butt online.

Why shouldn't he? It's real and it's spectacular! 

Think whatever you will about him as a person, you can not deny that Bieber has one fine ass!!!

Recently Justin was shot by John Shahidi on a camping trip standing naked by a lake his full bare backside on display. Which Bieber then posted on his Instagram, of course. 

Justin has no reason to say Sorry for this sexy shot. Keep them coming Biebs your fans, and people who simply like looking at a beautiful butt thank you.

It's Bieber Booty Time!
