"So-so, so don't fuck with my freedom, I came back to get me some, I'm nasty, I'm evil" - Mother's Daughter, Miley Cyrus 

It's Pride Weekend in Los Angeles, CA, really not sure if I will be attending or not. But I still believe we need it more than ever. This week's edition is going to be a hybrid by Queer ally and amazing artist Miley Cyrus and Myself. I am currently obsessed with her latest EP She Is Coming, which is first and foremost pro everything I stand for. 

You are in for the most "extra" musings of your ass. "Yes" I have Pride & Cattitude...meow to the mix!!! 

This F#g is in heat, let me ride that beat! Beat it, just beat it! 

Who gives a F#ck if they call you a slut? Yeah, do you really care? Well you shouldn't

Going electric leads to way cleaner ______ fill in that Pride blank

One of my most fond Pride memories? Marching with Ken Phillips alongside Margaret Cho in the Los Angeles parade tossing off swag.

Hallelujah We're all freaks, yes! 

Lisa Vanderpump

Once I met the indomitable Lisa Vanderpump  backstage @ Gay Pride, she is as cool as they come.

Do I suck D!ck? You ain't seen sh!t

I love my pussy that means I've got Cattitude 

Why do you gotta be so MotherF#cking extra? Asking for a friend...

Miley Cyrus

Don't let anyone keep you down Miley Cyrus! 

Back-up, back-up, back-up boy. "Yeah" U know who you are -

OMG, what would happen if SHE got the power??? The world would be a better place.

You all are the moon, the stars & special

Turn & Face The Strange
Michael Shinafelt

Hello lovely beings! This week it's time we turn to face the strange. In both ways literally, strange is good when it is inclusive, but when it is exclusive, well you know how that goes, right "President" Trump.

Yeah, I wanted to use a few more choice words, but I chose to take the high road.

OK, enough of my preaching, here we go!!!

Anyone watching Taboo on FX? I am, I like it! It also doesn't hurt that Tom Hardy is

Michael "Bullet Nips" Shinafelt

The world keeps turning and has been a very busy place this past week. So busy that the first celebrity passing of 2017 happened yesterday and it was major.

I don't know about you, but I feel a need to let off some steam, and ramble.

Let's get busy!!!

Wouldn't life be more fun if everyone's middle name was "Mother Fuckin'?" Hi, I'm Michael "Mother Fuckin'" Shinafelt, it has a nice ring.

Saw Moonlight this week with Naama Kates, amazing/beautiful/brilliant my pick for best film of the year.

I am so proud to call Los Angeles, CA my home as 750,000 strong turned out for the Women's March. My regret was I was unable to attend.

Had a belated Birthday lunch in Beverly Hills with my dear friend Julie McMahon at the Cheesecake Factory yesterday. Fish and Chips craving satisfied!

The first Trump supporter who complains to me that he isn't doing anything he promised gets a prize from me, a really special one that everyone will see.

R.I.P. Mary Tyler Moore a true legend and icon. I loved her performance in Ordinary People it remains one of my favorites to this day.

The Academy Award Nominations were announced this week in case you care

Sometimes I think to myself - Alyssa Milano is everything

What I said above goes for Ashley Judd as well

In case you are wondering what I'm doing Friday night well wonder no more! I am seeing LeAnn Rimes with Ken Phillips. For the record I am really looking forward to it, she is a terrific singer!

You'll find out. Trust me.

I've never kissed a guy #alternativefact

The Rock Star & The Nerd
Starring:
Taylor Momsen & Michael Shinafelt

This past week I had the pleasure of seeing a live show by The Pretty Reckless, courtesy of my friend and awesome publicist Ken Phillips at The Mayan in Los Angeles.

What word would I use to describe the performance? WOW! Front woman Taylor Momsen (former star of Gossip Girl) will make you forget she started out as an actress. She was born to rock!

Enough of the hyperbole, let's kick it!

Has anyone out there ever had a lawsuit over frozen embryos other than Sofia Vergara?

I had a colonoscopy in Los Angeles. You should have one too if you live anywhere else and are due. Don't put it off. PS - I passed with flying colors and gas.

Confession. The Pretty Reckless show is the first time I had Jack Daniels & Diet Coke as a complimentary drink in a long time. I chose it because the show was late and I knew it would keep me awake.

Addendum to the above confession. After I got home from the awesome show and wound down, I had a dream I was doing drugs with Miley Cyrus. See how long it's been since I drank "liquid crack" which is my pet name for it.

Ken Phillips gave me a really groovy Margaret Cho hoodie for my Birthday. It's December 18th mark your calendars.

I have the biggest crush on someone.

A shout out to fellow writer Selena Fragassi who I met at the TPR show. Welcome to Los Angeles!

Check out the funny as f@#k parody - by my friend E.G. Daily & her partner in crime Melinda Hill Melanoma & Bulimia, Melania Trump's cousins here :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH6VmZudQ4w

Looks like Boy George is going to be a presence on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this season. You thought Lisa Vanderpump was a sniper from the side, just you wait!

I asked a security guard to fasten my wristband on me for The Pretty Reckless show instead of doing it myself. I told him I was mentally challenged, he laughed.(glad there are people out there who still have a sense of humor)

Can we all just be honest BTW. Unless a miracle happens, we are going to make history, "yes" for the first time ever we are going to have a sex worker as first lady. While I have nothing against sex workers, I do have a thing against hypocrisy.

Sneak Peek, Tonight's Fashion Police

Who They'll Be Wearing Tonight on Fashion Police

Ever wondered what goes into making something as hilarious and off the wall as Fashion Police on E! ???  Well wonder no more, yeah, I am hear to spill some fun!

Tonight's claws come out for the SAG Awards. Meow! Yesterday I arrived at E! Studios checked in and waited for my friend and awesome publicist Ken Phillips to come fetch me, his client Margaret Cho, is one of the sheriffs on duty who calls you out for what you do or don't wear.

Ken took me on a little tour which included a trip to the bathroom before I got myself settled in the studio for the long haul of the taping. Yes, as most people know it takes more than an hour to shoot a show with the same running time.

Shooting begins roughly 20 minutes late. No big deal, the set of Fashion Police is way cool in person BTW. For the first part of the taping I am huddled in the audience area with the warm up comic who also cues everyone to cheer and laugh - laughter however is not a problem, especially with the likes of Margaret Cho and Nene Leakes, both hilarious!

One of the things that I loved about my experience on the set of FP was the party atmosphere of the shoot. Yes, people were working hard, but they were all having a blast! I mean how could you not? You will feel it in the finished product that you see on E! tonight!

Everyone seems to genuinely like and respect each other. It's definitely a family.

Also let me say this, for the 4 hours it took to shoot it. I was thoroughly entertained. I could not think of a better way to spend a rainy day in Los Angeles. Yes, it rained yesterday, I know, right?!

For the second part of the taping I hung with my friend Ken laughing like crazy at all of the hilarity that ensued on the stage before us.

And that's a wrap! The FP gang then posed for cast photos, I took one as you have already seen. Then as an unexpected perk I got to say "Hello" to Melissa Rivers after.

Me & Melissa Rivers

Oh, yeah what about the SAG Awards? What about them? Honestly with Fashion Police the show is the thing, the red carpet outfits are it's accessories.

Watch Margaret Cho, Nene Leakes, Brad Goreski, Giuliana Rancic & Melissa Rivers put some celebrities on the barbie tonight on E! Trust, you won't want to miss this!

It's Rapist Season With Margaret Cho

Getting Jizzy With It!
l-r: Rhonda Bernstein, Margaret & Me
Photo: Ken Phillips

Did the caption above sound somewhat irreverent? Well good! I caught all around awesome person and spirit animal Margaret Cho this past weekend, November 14th at The Wiltern to be exact, on her psyCHO tour. Refer to the photo above of me and my fellow Sagittarius engaging. 

One of Margaret's hot topics in her show is rape & sexual abuse. She has been a victim of it and is speaking out, loud, and irreverent, of course.

If you have been the victim of any sexual violation, it can affect you in ways you never expected. Sometimes it isn't so much the act as it is the reaction to it from others in your life that can alter your being. 

Moran, Margaret's Korean name, recently tackled this with a new song and video: I Want To Kill My Rapist.

Now this is not a literal thing, it's about killing the rapist, or sexual violator inside of you. 

Yes, the "killing" part is a metaphor...or is it? Check out the video after the jump!

Margaret & Friend

Happy First Monday of November. This came across my desk this morning via my friend and awesome publicist Ken Phillips. It's a message and a powerful one from his client Margaret Cho here is what she has to tell you:

"Twelve days until the premiere of  my new song and music video for “I Wanna Kill My Rapist”. For the 12 days leading up to it, I will be posting one video per day to tell my stories of sexual abuse. My “12 Days of Rage”. Please join me. Tell your story on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram using #‎12daysofrage. Here is my first video.

“I Wanna Kill My Rapist” Video premieres on PerezHilton.com on Friday, November 13." 

                                                       12 Days Of Rage

Join Margaret in the crusade by sharing this message or your own story on social media. Let's give victims of sexual abuse a voice.

This Just In..."Fashion Police"

Thanks to my friend and publicist extraordinaire Ken Phillips I got a scoop for you!

Tonight Fashion Police will be deputizing Loni Love & Johnny Weir - Yep tonight's show will have double the gay and three times the sass!

Melissa Rivers is going to have her hands full tune in at 8 on E! you won't want to miss what goes down in the name of style!

Revival: Fashion Police

Stop! You Are Under Arrest! Fashion Police
Photo: Ken Phillips

Melissa Rivers is "still cleaning up messes." Judging from this weeks debut of the revived Fashion Police, she's done a pretty bang up F#@king job!

After a super lame season post your legendary Mom, Joan Rivers passing, which had everything to do with the addition of Kathy Griffin (what was E! thinking, I know what Kathy was thinking...cha ching!) - the show is back!

Melissa you should have inherited the throne from the get go. After all you are your mothers daughter and worked the red carpet with her.

Last year was, to say the least tumultuous. But you prevailed. The relaunch scored high in social media, and we know how important that is, you go Grrrrrrrl!

With guest host, Margaret Cho getting especially high scores - would Cho come back? Well after this Tweet I am guessing, yes!  She stated  it "feels like family." 

Nene Leakes was also in top form. What about Brad Goreski?! Hey every fashion show needs a gay voice...whoop there it is! 

So Melissa if you are "still cleaning up messes" I have a recommendation for you and her name is Giuliana Rancic. 

P.S. Kudos to Margaret's dig at Rancic that Miley Cyrus smelled like patchouli oil.

Last night Caitlyn Jenner stepped out to introduce Boy George and the Culture Club at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA. 

Although I am sorry I missed seeing the band, my friend super publicist, Ken Phillips was there and snapped this photo of Caitlyn doing the honor. 

I must say Caitlyn is way more outgoing and comfortable as her true self than she ever was prior to that.

The Troops Honor Kid Rock

Rock On! Kid Rock & Mark Woods

OPERATION TROOP AID HONORS KID ROCK
WITH 2014 "PATRIOT AWARD"

I've always knew who Kid Rock was, a successful Rock Star who was in a relationship with one of my favorite people & interview subjects, Pamela Anderson. However I had never heard his music... That was until my friend, publicist extraordinaire, Ken Phillips gave me one of his CD's. Listening to Kid Rock's music for the first time was a religious experience that made me a fan for life. Well Ladies & Gentlemen it's time you know about his giving back to others who truly deserve your respect and gratitude, carry on... Operation Troop Aid(OTA), a nonprofit organization which supports U.S. Troops, honored award-winning, multi-platinum selling humanitarian Kid Rock, last week in Nashville, Tennessee, with the 2014 Operation Troop Aid “Patriot Award.” Presented annually by OTA to celebrities that champion the men and women serving in the American Armed Forces, the rock star was awarded the Eagle Trophy for his countless endeavors to support troops overseas and at local hospitals and for supporting numerous military charities. Well known for his role as an American Patriot, Kid Rock, has performed at various military bases and continues to meet military personnel at every concert appearance. "Kid Rock is one of the most giving entertainers I have ever met,” says OTA founder and executive director Mark Woods.  "He really gets it…  Last year, Kid Rock challenged his fans to help raise money to send care packages to the troops.  In one short month, we were able to ship over 500 care packages just in time for the holidays. His art, legacy of family and Spirit of Patriotism is exactly why this award exists.” Kid Rock joins past Patriot Award recipients Hank Williams Jr., Toby Keith, Darryl Worley, Aaron Tippin, Gary Sinise, Charlie Daniels, Mark Wills, and KISS. About Operation Troop Aid: Founded in 2004 by 21-year military veteran, Mark Woods, Operation Troop Aid provides entertainment initiatives and care packages for U.S. Service Members with revenue generated through professional concert promotions and public financial generosity. OTA is a nonprofit corporation striving to make a positive difference and inspire the Armed Forces by letting them know Americans stand with them. OTA is a certified IRS approved charity. As an entertainment based charity, each year OTA selects and presents The OPERATION TROOP AID Patriot Award to an entertainer / artist that best exemplifies the spirit of Patriotic service to our Troops and Americanism in their art.  It does not necessarily reflect events in that year, as it may be a historical grouping of their achievements to promote our Troops and American Patriotism.  It is an award that embodies a sense of service, supporting our American Troops and an overall outlook of honoring our Constitution and promoting the Freedom that our Troops provide. For more information on OTA, visit www.OperationTroopAid.org.
