Michael's Musings

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!

Quote of the Week: "Kinda how actors study & train & devote their lives to their craft only to be replaced by reality stars must be how career politicians feel" - Tara Strong Voice Over Artist 

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 :

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.

Tom Hiddleston On The Side

What's Wrong With This Picture?
Take Those Boxers Off!
Tom Hiddleston
Mona Kuhn for W magazine

I don't know if it's the fact that I am hanging out naked at home during the extreme 100 degree plus weather in Los Angeles, but it seems I am fixated on posting images of celebrities showing lots of skin of late.

Yesterday, Sofia Vergara in a teeny weeny black bikini was Entertain Me's poster woman to inaugurate the first day of summer. Today it's the yummy Tom Hiddleston posing in nothing more than boxers for W Magazine, do I need to expand on why?!

Tom star of The Night Manager on AMC bares a lot more in his current film, High Rise. Sad, butt (pun intended) I can't post those photos here. That being stated like myself I know you can all Google, just put your fingers on the keyboard and blow...

Recently Mr. Hiddleston has been rumored to be dating Taylor Swift post her Calvin Harris break up. Hey Taylor, if this is true I challenge you to a duel!

Celebrate Summer w/Sofia Vergara

Inflatable
Sofia Vergara

Today is the Summer Solstice aka The First Day of Summer...Hooray for Summer! Nothing says summer quite like Sofia Vergara, a black bikini & an inflatable swan. 

Sofia star of the show Modern Family, duh - posted the photo above on her Instagram with the caption: "Pool time #hm #ilovesummer." 

Wonder what she does with that swan though...

Have a terrific summer peeps & Happy Monday, I think.

Practice Makes Perfect: Joe Manganiello

Joe Manganiello: Shake Your Groove Thang

Oh that Joe Manganiello. He recently told Good Morning America that he practiced his stripper moves for Magic Mike XXL on his sometime reluctant fiancee Sofia Vergara.

"She was on that machine in the gym where you lock your legs in and squeeze, so she couldn't run away," Manganiello said. "I would catch her and practice ... She would just cover her face." 

Catch the Magic in theaters on July 1st.

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?

Too Darn Hot: Joe Manganiello & Sofia Vergara

Hotter Than Georgia Asphalt: Joe Manganiello & Sofia Vergara 

"But when the thermometer goes way up, 

And the weather is sizzling hot Mr Pants, for romance, is not" 

- Too Darn Hot, Cole Porter

It's seems that America's favorite deceased Werewolf  True Blood's Joe Manganiello and Colombian spitfire Sofia Vergara of Modern Family are dating.

From the sounds of things they met at a White House correspondence dinner and are now one of the hottest couples to ever walk the planet.

Oh Yeah! Wow, this is a match made in publicist heaven.

Best Wishes to the both of you.

Entertain Me.
