We at Arrow are thrilled to play a part in bringing this landmark show to physical media and believe we’ve created a boxset that fans will be delighted to own, packed with bonus features, curios, and memorabilia from the world of Stranger Things.”

A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a

After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm.

Falling For Christmas

I had some time yesterday so I decided to Netflix & Chill and watched the Lindsay Lohan vehicle Falling For Christmas.

Lindsay is back Minions! She doesn't make one false move and wins the audience over with her completely charming and nuanced performance as heiress Sierra Belmont.

To paraphrase what Meryl Streep said about working with her in Prairie Home Companion - she is completely fluid and alive when she is on screen.

Here are a couple of random thoughts I had while viewing it:

Isn't Lindsay's BF in the movie gay? (spoiler alert, turns out he is!)

Hold my beer I want 6 people to dress me every day and feed me caviar

When Lindsay sings along to Jingle Bell Rock in the car, nice homage to Mean Girls

Oh, her hair is so shiny

Cord Overstreet is pretty darned cute, swoon!!!

Lindsay has some bad ass rich girl with amnesia skills when she comes up with a fundraiser for Jake's (Cord) lodge

No happily ever after is complete without a horse drawn carriage

A Little Bit Dramatic
Michael Shinafelt

Even though the photo above states that I am "dramatic" at present, I am actually, quite assuredly not in the zone. Quite the contrary, I am hunkering down and staying in as much as possible during this time per request and Netflix and chilling and really enjoying it 😊

The only thing "dramatic" are some of the things I am viewing other than that, drama free is the phrase I would use to best describe life, right here, right now. How's your quarantine going?

If Trump was smart he'd drop the election fraud nonsense and launch a reality show where his three children battle over one Presidential Pardon...

BTW I know what you saw upset you, sarcasm won't change that

Time to settle down and plot your next move

Binged all of Ratched finally, I'll simply leave it at that

Matt Bomer just streaked through my mind, hope he lingers longer next go

Stop singing, you're making me hate Christmas

Just In: The COVID vaccine will NOT contain a microchip, it instead will contain the new U2 album

It's time to wash that elf on a shelf right out of your hair...tis the season

Woman Crush of the Week - My friend Ashley Park who is currently in post production on her horror film Stay and has an Indiegogo campaign for her latest venture kindlyTV, which is something the world needs more of.

Hump Day & Chill

I'm Still Your Daddy
Zac Efron

So what to my wandering eyes did appear this Hump Day & Chill? Why it was Zac Efron looking DAF (know your acronyms) in the new Netflix Docu-Series Down To Earth With Zac Efron.

While he is so Daddy in the physical sense. Truth be told my boy Zac still has a vibe that is not quite in the realm of being a 100% bonafide "Daddy" - leave that to the real deal, boy.

That being stated I must say this new incarnation of  "Boy Zac" presents him yummier than an Everlasting Gobstopper.

So what is Down To Earth about? Who knows and who gives a rip roaring you know what? As long as I get to see "Boy Zac" looking like this I will be in my happy place, if you get my drift and I think you do...

Speaking of happy places, I don't know about you my pretties but I could use a good old fashioned Hump Day & Chill right here, right now. Join me, won't you???

Look! I'm A Push Me Pull You!!!

On this weeks saga of As The Quarantine Turns - Social Summer has officially been cancelled.? "Yes" Minions California has Stay At Home orders until September. Which is just as well because here in the land of lock down, while I have been exercising, it's not the gym and I have been eating out of boredom. Thus I don't have the Social Summer Body I would have wanted. There's always an upside!

This week's Netflix & Chill is a recommendation from my niece, Lindley Waters, "You" good call Lindley, I love it! Season Two is even better than the first!

Tik Tok is making a lot of hot people truly not do-able

Let's discuss our most  mundane celebrity encounters, shall we? Mine was with Julianne Moore at the now defunct Rexall on Beverly and LaCienega. I told her how much I loved one of her first films Safe, she smiled and said Thank You, then we moved on.

Sweat sock opera gloves, discuss...

This season of Vanderpump Rules feels like it's been on since the beginning of time. In case you were wondering, that is not a compliment.

There's nothing wrong with pretending your apartment is a piano bar and putting a tip jar on the end table, nothing at all

I had a dream with a lot of Cats & Dogs in it last night, that's all I remember about it, other than it was a pleasant one 😊

Say Hello To My Quarantine Friend..
Michael Shinafelt

We have arrived at yet another episode of As The Quarantine Turns...this week there was much ado about Hollywood on Netflix. Did I binge it? "Yes." What did I think about it? That's for me to know and you to find out, on with the show Minions!!!

Demons have an awful sense of humor, can you blame them? They live in Hell...

Sorry to hear that Ashley Benson and Cara Delevingne have split, not even a sex bench could keep them together 💔

I don't  wear fur but I do eat _______ that's correct Minions it's time to fill in the blank

The latest trend? After everything you say add: "I was just being sarcastic"

Given the reaction everyone's having to Adele's weight loss I assume this means the pandemic is over?!

Oh, so what did I think of Hollywood on Netflix? Did I like it or not? Computer says: NO

Who else wants to show Sutton Stracke on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills the proverbial door and hopes it hits her on the way out?

Dylan McDemott just ran naked through my mind (if only he'd done that in Hollywood, but we'll always have the first season of American Horror Story)

Woman Crush of the Week - Mira Sorvino for being one of the good things in that train wreck known as Hollywood on Netflix

Tell me who, who, who took the cookies from the cookie jar? Was it you?

Vogue???
Michael Shinafelt

In this week's episode of As The Quarantine Turns it's been Netflix & Chill all the way Minions. Hey, I had to see Tiger King to find out what the deal was. Then there was the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Grace & Frankie and Santa Clarita Diet... and many more to come.

Thus I bet you can tell you are headed for a lot of opinions this week, oh yes you are!

My take away from Tiger King? Carole Baskin totally knows what happened to her husband and had something to do with it.

That Geico commercial with Ratt makes me laugh every time I see it

I burned my last F#ck a fortnight ago

Santa Clarita Diet is off the wall fun! You haven't lived until you've seen Drew Barrymore biting a guys fingers off!

Has anyone ever tuned into an Instagram Live and thought: "That was worth it?"

A random marker of time, anyone?

The less said about the Jane Fonda/Lily Tomlin starer Grace & Frankie, the better

Woman Crush of the Week - Cherie Currie her star studded solo album "Blvds of Splendor" is out now. Order it here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/blvds-of-splendor/1506715461

If there's one thing worse than Chlamydia, it's Florida 

Whatever joke you are telling the punchline should be: Flan (Yeah, it's an inside joke, sorry, not sorry) 

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a lot like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Edgy, dark, funny, topical and smart 😈 "Yes" that is a recommendation.

Must all things be filled?

Manatomy Awards

Celebrating Hollywood's Best (Un)dressed Today, Mr. Man revealed the winners of the 6th Annual Manatomy Awards, the only ceremony that shines a spotlight on the past year’s naked male achievements in film and TV.  “For years, nude scenes were primarily the domain of female actresses,” says Phil Henricks of Mr. Man, the world’s leading online library of every male nude scene in the history of film and television.  Millions of fans flock to the site each month.  “That has been changing as each year there are more scenes and actors to choose from. We are celebrating the fine actors who have the balls (pun intended) to go naked.” 

Winners were chosen through a comprehensive process that included the editorial, production and marketing teams from Mr. Man.  They selected five contenders for each of their 43 categories and then sat in a conference room, re-watched all the scenes, narrowed down their selections and voted on their winners.  “It got heated in the room,” admits Henricks, citing Jake Gyllenhaal in Velvet Buzzsaw as an example.  “Jake came close, but in the end, it was decided that he didn’t show enough nudity.”

Monday Motivation

Ho, Ho, Hunk!
Kurt Russell

In keeping with yesterday's Hunky Holiday theme today's Monday Motivation comes in the form of none other than Santa Claus! Well Kurt Russell as Santa in the Netflix Holiday movie The Christmas Chronicles, saw that three times fast, c'mon I dare ya!

Who 'd have ever thunk that Santa would ever qualify as Hunky?! I ask you, "yep" I am asking so gimme an answer, post haste. Well when 67 year old Kurt Russell portrays him, he magically becomes Hot Daddy material.

Thus Kurt, not Santa is really what motivates me this Monday to keep up on the fitness and health regime I have embarked on and to keep getting better and better. 

So with a mighty Ho, Ho, Ho I send you on your way this Monday December 3rd 2018 to take on the world and do something good for yourself. "Tis the season after all...!!!

Just Because...Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore

Just Because it's the weekend, Just Because the Santa Clarita Diet is in season deux & Just Because she's holding a sign that makes you go Hmmmmmm - "Yes" peeps it's Drew Barrymore at the premiere of her hit Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet in Hollywood.

OK, while I love me some Drew I am not sure why she is holding a sign that says "I Heart Jake Gyllenhaal" at her premiere.

Am I missing something??? Well apparently I am - as a little bird called the WWW informed me that Ms. Barrymore ranked Jake as her least talented co-star on The Late, Late Show With James Corden. It was either that or....drum roll please, or eat a turkey testicle.

Thus our intrepid Drew carried a sign declaring her love for Jake down that red carpet on her special night. That Drew always a giver.

John Stamos
Has A Booty To Flaunt!

52 year old John Stamos who starred in the family oriented sitcom Full House and is reviving it on Netflix as Fuller House. While he is currently starring on FOX in Grandfathered. 

He recently bared his ass in the pages of Paper Magazine, oh there was an interview too in case you care to read past this awesome sight.

Normally I do not mention ages of celebrities here on Entertain Me because I think they are irrelevant. However in the case of an actor starring on a comedy series about being a grandfather having the ass of some half his age, well, yeah, it felt like I should. Not to mention most JS fans have been panting for this much skin for a long while. Crossing our fingers what he is packing shows up in a pictorial soon!

With his successful decades spanning career there is no real reason for dropping trou other than flaunting it while you've still got it. Hey, that's enough reason for anyone over 50 to go for it!

Ladies Who Lunch

Let's Do Lunch
Lady Gaga & Jane Fonda

I love coming across photos of two stars who paths you would never imagine crossing enjoying a moment together.

This week the prize for my favorite goes to the legendary Jane Fonda and the amazing Lady Gaga.

Both were on hand to give out money at the annual Hollywood Foreign Press Association Grants Banquet held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Fonda & Gaga reportedly stole the show, and it is fitting that these two bigger than life personalities should engage in conversation and a photo op together.

Fonda is back in full force with her hit show Grace and Frankie with Lily Tomlin on Netflix and Gaga in the upcoming season of AHS, American Horror Story: Hotel.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall for the sound bites exchanged between these two!
