Michael's Musings

Set It Off
Michael Shinafelt

Happy 4th of July! Is it really? Fall in line I'm going to sound off now!

"In the face of a humanitarian crisis, that this malignant narcissist would steal taxpayer dollars to stage a partisan display of Autocracy to massage his damaged psyche is nothing short of sociopathic" - Rob Reiner

Yeah, I'd love to say to all of you Happy 4th of July, but who am I kidding? Release the tanks and send in the clowns, wait they're already here...

On a lighter note...Slide....

Dear Instagram F#ck You

Shall I tell you how I really feel? I think I already have

I'm so not trying to be that person

But first, coffee

Is it the laugh you all need?

Guy Crush of the Week (and forever) Christopher Meloni

Is there anything better than Miley Cyrus' "Mother's Daughter" right here, right now?

A fanny pack is unacceptable

Boogie in your butt, or somewhere else perhaps?

This world, then fireworks

Whut Up, Hoes? I'm asking, do tell...

Just Because...Maya Rudolph & Jon Hamm

Laughing It Up!
Maya Rudolph & Jon Hamm

It was a Bridesmaids reunion at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party - "Yes" co-stars Maya Rudolph & Jon Hamm held court together, naturally at the big to do post Academy Award Ceremony.

They look like they are having more than the legal limit of fun, and that's awesome! 

Hey, anyone who can put a smile on your face and make you laugh like this is worth the time spent with them.

Don't you wish you had been included in that conversation? I know I do...!

T.G.I.F! Make it a good one and don't forget to smile and of course laugh every chance you get -

Three Way With Amy Schumer

Does This Cigarette Make Me Look Topless?

In honor of Hump Day I thought I would share this photo. It made me laugh, hope it makes you laugh too!

Yep, the awesome Amy Schumer whose rave reviewed movie Trainwreck opens this Friday, up chucked her inner Princess Leia in a photo shoot for GQ.

As you know no Star Wars themed shoot would be complete without a menage a trois image of Leia having been freshly banged by C3PO and R2D2.

It'a all about the hump, Happy Wednesday!

Put A Ring On It: Joe Manganiello + Sofia Vergara

They're Engaged! Joe Manganiello & Sofia Vergara

Did you hear?! Engagement just got a whole lot hotter. "Yes" Hunk Joe Manganiello proposed to Latina Spitfire Sofia Vergara on Christmas Day!

Can I get a Paris Hilton catch phrase "That's Hot" shout out?

Who would have thunk that True Blood and Modern Family would ever cross pollinate?

Manganiello purchased a $640 dollar rose ring for his sexy girlfriend.

Vergara tweeted this: "To the one that makes me laugh like crazy!" she captioned a sweet photo with her hubby-to-be, adding, "Have a healthy wonderful year babe!!! @JoeManganiello."

Congrats to the two of you! I wonder if there will be some beautiful babies on the way soon?

Be Fearless: Joan Rivers

I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That means you're alive. Things are happening - Joan Rivers


This is and will always be my favorite Joan Rivers quote as I believe it best exemplifies who she was and really captures her spirit and zest for living.

Joan was a comedian who mattered. Not only did she pave the way for females in comedy today, she was flat out ballsy.

She wasn't afraid to call out anyone or anything, including herself.

If something can be learned from her death it is to bend it like Joan: live, love, laugh, cry and above all be fearless.

R.I.P. Dear Lady, you will be missed

Checking In With: Grace V. "Don't Wanna Be Waiting"

Grace V.

I first encountered Grace V. (the V. stands for Valerie) via an interview request from Project Publicity for the music site I write for, Chorus and Verse.

Every person I interview is uncharted territory until you have been there. Grace V. turned out to be a delightful intelligent woman who, in my book loves to do the most important thing in life, laugh...!

Here is the link to my full length interview with her for her first hit single "When The Lights Go Down" where she looked like a cute spandex mummy in the video.
