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!

Michael's Musings

It's Better With A Leather Jacket
Michael Shinafelt

As everyone knows this past Monday was Halloween. I attended the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival and had a blast!

Too bad it's over, time to move on, here are my latest thoughts and opinions...


E-mails, E-mails, E-mails are the new Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

Random Rumblings, a man yelled out: "I won the wet T-shirt contest, motherf#ckers!" the other day while I was walking down the street. You go boy, follow that dream!

Personally I love Lady Gaga's latest Joanne. There I said it.

I can't wait to see who the sole survivor is on this seasons American Horror Story.

Scariest thing this past Halloween? I kept getting notifications via Facebook on my phone about who from my friends list was in West Hollywood at the carnival too!!!

Who'd you rather, Jon Hamm or Matt Bomer?

I have a psychic prediction. All of you have semen in your family. 

New season of Vanderpump Rules starts Monday. I have no rational or intelligent explanation as to why I like this show. Discuss. 

My bad, I was trying to sacrifice you to Satan.

I could have lived my whole life without hearing "I Will Always Love You" karaoke style. Ugh!

I recently joined Instagram, follow me there or on Twitter. Do what your Rice Krispies tell you to damn it!
