Just Because...A Star Is Acknowledged

Hugging It Out
l-r
Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott & Lady Gaga

Just Because, it gave me all the feels, Just Because, hand print ceremonies are fun! & Just Because Sam Elliott is one hot Daddy - "Yep" you guessed it, it's this group hug moment from Sam's hand print ceremony at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Sam has had a long and steady career in Hollywood appearing in such films a Mask, The Big Lebowski & one of my personal favorites Lifeguard - Why you ask? Ummmmmm, Sam portrays a Lifeguard, meaning he is in swim trunks pretty much the whole movie. There that's why!

Thus being that he is great in a the supporting role of Bradley Cooper's older brother in one of the biggest films of the year A Star Is Born he was invited to make his prints immortal at the famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood along with other legends such as Marilyn Monroe, James Dean & Elizabeth Taylor and many others.

"Yes" it is an "it's about time" moment for this veteran actor and a well deserved one.

Join My Army
Michael Shinafelt

In what has got to be one of the most WTF weeks ever, I am here to enlist you to join my Army. From the random and weird Golden Globe ceremony to the dangerous random and weird rantings of a spoiled brat would be POS dictator B!tch Baby.

My Army is truth, care come along?

Lady Gaga won Best Actress from The National Board of Review - she will not be ignored HFPA!

The rantings of a lunatic, Donald Trump (I can't call him President, I didn't vote for this F#cking Sh!t) was shot down in the ratings by Nancy Pelosi - Bang, Bang MotherF@ker!

It's not like I can put the weenie back in the bottle

Start by telling me the earliest memory of your middle finger

FYI - I have had four boyfriends and Satan has hated them all

Instead of watching that POS bitch about his waaaaaaaaalll, I viewed Lindsay Lohan's Becah Club on MTV - a train wreck in many of the ways that you'd expect. Threat to the safety and well being of others...zero!!!

I'm a little bit Buddhist, I'm also a lot Rock-N-Roll

Giving Zero F#cks
Sarah Paulson & James McAvoy

Sarah Paulson is giving you everything you need today in this shot from the Glass premiere (with James McAvoy) in London.

She Won't Be Ignored! Glenn Close

Shock & Awe
Glenn Close & Lady Gaga

While I have no issue with Glenn Close winning the Golden Globe for The Wife, it was needless to say quite the surprise. Let's face it the whole show was one random all over the place affair. Not your usual Globe ceremony, I mean the worst reviewed film in the Best Motion Picture Drama category, Bohemian Rhapsody won.  

It was truly surprising that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not crown Lady Gaga for her Movie Star making turn in A Star Is Born. She had the momentum and the film scored with audiences.

This being stated the win has sparked some entertaining memes & such, some of which I will share with you right here, right now. Of course Glenn Close uttering her famous line "I'm not going to be ignored, Dan" as Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction is among them...Enjoy! 

Freaky Friday

I Was Dreaming Like A Texas Girl...
Lady Gaga & Rachel Bloom

File this under: Photo Ops you thought you'd never see. Bear witness to mega star Lady Gaga and off the beaten path TV star Rachel Bloom from My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend @ the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's 3rd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards in Beverly Hills, CA.

OK, so they were both there. But, what made them interact with one another? What was the draw for them (meaning Gaga) to actually want to get with Bloom for a photo? I ask you, I know you don't have any remote idea like me, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Gaga is a closet fan of My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? Because I can 100% guarantee you Bloom is a Gaga fan, since pretty much everyone is!

One other theory, maybe they want to be each other for a day....

Freaky Friday indeed!

E.G. Daily Is "So Pretty"

If I Was The President Would It Be Evident...
E.G. Daily

"See me from the inside, inside out" - So Pretty, E.G. Daily

E.G. Daily is a music and film icon. She really hit big in the 80's with the movies Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Valley Girl. Oh and then there is her pop hit Say It, Say It. 

There is so much more beneath the surface. "Yes" E.G. has a new single and movement out "So Pretty." - Aren't we all more than meets the eye?

Are you ready? Let's get E.G!

MS: So can we talk "So Pretty?"

EG: It's basically like, um, I was writing for soundtracks for films. So I wasn't really thinking about it for myself as a song. After I wrote it, I had this really strong feeling that I needed to put it out. I felt this needed to be coming from me. So I financed it, and worked with my two partners. Now we need to get it out. It's a very important message. it's really timely, about what's going on right now. No matter whether you are a male or a female, young or old, we are judged on our outsides as people. and it's not fun, when you're busy watching yourself all the time. Why don't we be present so we can connect better.

MS: Oh Yeah. Since I have gotten older and I'm sure you will concur with this, you do care less about that stuff.

EG: Yeah, we are getting older, how much can you play? I like dressing up just as much as anyone else. I like taking care of myself, but it's no longer the priority. The priority is about connecting with each other. 

Look Inside!
E.G. Daily

MS: The less we care the more fun we have.

EG: That's my favorite message of all, once you stop worrying about yourself magic happens. Once you get off yourself and start to be present in your day to day life that's when magical things will occur. 

MS: I am obsessed with the gym and diet of late, while I get attention that isn't the reason I am doing it.

EG: You want to be healthy and take care of yourself. Yeah, you definitely want to take care of yourself especially as you are getting older. It's definitely about the bigger picture.

MS: Health is everything.

EG: I agree!

MS: It is the bigger picture, it's not like I am focused on that solely. There are a lot of other things going on.

EG: What's interesting about that is we asked people to send in videos to us about what lengths they've gone to, to be beautiful. It's funny because we got as many Men as we did Women. They would say they did things to harm themselves by not eating enough, or over exercise...some of them did surgeries that put their lives at risk, So, that's the thing. At what lengths do we go to to please other people? So when we got these videos in, it was every age range and every demographic, Male & Female.

MS: I'm not surprised. When I was young I felt pressure for that.

EG: Everyone no matter what age puts pressure on themselves about how they look on the outside. At what point is it healthy and not healthy? Where is the fun? You need to have fun! 

MS: I love being in my 50's!

EG: I do too! I love seeing my kids getting bigger and being more mature adults, it's so beautiful. 

So Pretty

MS: From a Mother's perspective how have you seen this affect your daughters?

EG: They've dealt with their eating issues their whole lives. A little girl wishes they could have the body of an older girl, an older girl wishes they could have the body of a younger girl. My daughters are very much about fashion and beauty. But, we make sure they are taking care of their insides in our household. You could have two hundred people around you doing your make-up, hair, wardrobe and nails and still not feel good about yourself. That's more of what the movement is about, That's why we have a crowd funding going on, so we can get the message out there globally.

MS: By the way Have you seen A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga?

EG: Yeah, I loved it! I thought Gaga was beautiful and transparent. I thought Bradley Cooper was great. It was a lovely movie.She got to show her talent, she's the real thing. She's real and is connected to something "So Pretty." 

Here's the 411 on all that is E.G!

Only 13 more days until Halloween, disciples!

Do something that truly scares you this month. Call it perfect timing.

20 more days 'till Halloween, Halloween, Silver Shamrock! That's correct peeps it's only 20 more days until Halloween. Nothing, quite frankly scares me more than the current state of the union. 

But most of all we all need to focus on what makes us happy during these trying times. Let's get excited, and be, be, be obscene!

I'm vulgar AF - deal with it!

Dear Donald Trump - I wanna be there when a cactus dry humps your ass. Sincerely, one of your biggest fans

Met up with E.G. Daily this week and chatted about her upcoming single and movement "So Pretty" wait for it...

It's October, mark me down as scared and horny

The American Music Awards happened??? I know this only because there were headlines about them after, but when were they actually?

My ultimate goal? Someone mean Tweets me and I get to go on Jimmy Kimmel Live and read it

Lady Gaga's ex, Taylor Kinney is praising her performance in A Star Is Born. Now you can sleep peacefully.

What horror archetype do you have sexual fantasies about?

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —Only this, and nothing more." - The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe

If I keep you safe, will you keep me wild?

Bring me something that will rock my world! Do it deadbeat and do it now!

I just tripped on a ghost and got a big boo boo!

Seeing Red

Fashion "Red"y
Lady Gaga

Look out on the street, it's a bird, it's a plane...no it's Lady Gaga in a red dress strutting her stuff in NYC!

It's been hard out there for a pimp to escape the web of Lady Gaga with A Star Is Born opening today. "Yes" I'm going to see it, but I will be there tomorrow at my favorite local theater The Vista in Silverlake, CA.

"No" I will not divulge what time I will be there, it's a secret, I have plenty of stalkers already Thank You very much.

Time to get back on topic, or is it???

Honestly with Gaga's opus scoring a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes how can you go wrong with this timeless tale hitting theaters here, there and everywhere, I ask you? I know none of you will answer, but you can't say I didn't try!

On that note, see you at the movies this weekend bitches!

Freaky Friday

Cheers to Beer!
Lady Gaga

This ayem I received an E-mail that informed me today is National Drink Beer Day - really, I'm not joking. Seeing as how there seems to be a day for everything, why not drinking beer? I ask you? I'm waiting for an answer...

What is odd about the whole situation is how and why I received this correspondence via a site called HaveGuru.com, a place I have never dared to go on the WWW. Also, why when I try to reach it, it does not come up, yet it sends E-mail?!

Freaky Friday indeed minions. 

To celebrate I chose my own poster person for said day, the woman of the hour Lady Gaga imbibing in the refreshing golden liquid at a Mets game.

So join Moi & Gaga and raise a mug in honor of beer's special day and toast to websites that do not exist sending "Ghost E-mails" about days that do exist.

Cheers!

"Not Here To Play" Ada Vox

Vox, Vox, Vox...!!!

"I'm not here to play with anybody. I'm here to chase my dreams and make them come true." 

Ada Vox isn’t messing around. She put judge Katy Perry, and America, on notice: she is in this life to win it!

A San Antonio based drag queen who sang her heart out on ABC's "American Idol," Ada became a Semi-finalist, something that would have been unheard of several years ago. Her appearance marks a first for the show, and people still talk about her performance of The Animals “House of the Rising Sun” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofdSsBKW6NU as one of the stand-out auditions of the season.  Ada has released her first single, “Because of You” via Cleopatra Records.  The song was written by Janice Robinson (Kristine W., Deborah Cox) and produced by Bimbo Jones (Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga).  Click here to listen to the track:https://open.spotify.com/artist/47AqqDOAI8wPNY752aY5Hj?si=gBckf3n1SHigtgPTBTyEcA.  

Ada’s excited to share it with all the people (#Voxies) who embraced her on this go-round of American Idol and to brand new audiences as she continues to tour the globe. “Because of You” is available through all digital retailers:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/because-of-you-feat-bimbo-jones/1433817304?i=1433817509

Rewind five years to 2013 when Ada Vox auditioned for Fox’s American Idol back  when she was known as Adam Sanders.  In one of his Season 12 performances, he got a standing ovation from three of the four judges with his performance of Etta James's “I'd Rather Go Blind.” Despite this, he not only got eliminated after Hollywood week, but had to endure taunts, teasing and threats from people on social media. Ada revealed on this year's show that “People attacked my weight, my sexuality, telling me that I was horrible, that I sucked, that I don't deserve to be here, that I shouldn't be who I am. And I let it get to me in a wrong way. It killed me inside...I was contemplating lots of things that I shouldn't have.”

Ada did not let that deter her from her dream and when she heard the show was coming back to ABC, she decided to audition again as Ada Vox, a person with a lot more confidence and an innate belief in herself. “I was an OK singer as Adam. But I'm a hundred times better now than I ever was then. I'm vocally better, I'm a better performer, I'm a better entertainer, I'm more prepared as an adult to take on the challenges that come with a competition like this.”

The 24-year-old University of Texas graduate was born in San Antonio, TX, and had worked at a restaurant by day and been a drag queen by night.  Ada lists her influences as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle (with whom she got to perform with on Idol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UQHF9My1NQ) and other strong women who project an inner self-confidence with their stage personas.  In fact, her performance of Jennifer Hudson’s “I am Telling You I am not Going”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3r_puQXbJA as a Top 10 finalist brought the house down.

Even though Ada didn’t make it to the top, she made history as the first-ever Drag Queen to make it as an American Idol Top 8 finalist. Upon her departure, none other than superstar judge Lionel Richie said, “Listen, I want to say – you have to know how special this is to have you on this show. You are a movement unto yourself. I am telling you, I’m so proud of you, keep it up my dear, it’s fantastic.”

What’s next for Ada? The sky seems to be the limit.

“I'm not waking up tomorrow morning/And finding that there's nobody there/Darling, there's no way.”
