Did You Hear The One About... Meghan Markle & Queen Elizabeth II
How many Duchesses does it take to make a Queen smile? Apparently just one if you happen to be the Meghan Markle Duchess of Sussex. Whatever Ms. Markle said to Queen Elizabeth II must be worth it's weight in gold. Seldom has anyone every seen HRH this giddy with delight. Further proof that Meghan was the perfect commoner to become Royal. Let this be a lesson to all of you, a sense of humor goes a long way. Happy Saturday - and remember to smile Queens, smile!

Just Because my computer crashed today. Just Because I now have a sparkly awesome new one & Just Because the first thing I saw when I got set-up and logged on was this, and it made me smile. Why It's none other than Natalie Portman working a polka dot dress. Polka Dots are fun and so is Portman's infectious smile while sporting them. Let's face it, very few people can pull off "dots" Natalie slays and then some in them. Finally I am up and running and coming at ya on the good ole WWW again. Now aren't you happy? Yeah, that's exactly what I thought you'd say.... Keep on doing you! Natalie on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000204/
After a weekend of massive errands, work and the endless Pride Parade I need much motivation and today that takes on the form of caffeine, you know, coffee. "Yes" I know Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are no longer together. "Duh" I also know this is a publicity still for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. All that being stated this is about Monday Motivation, not current celebrity commentary minions. What better way to motivate me than eye candy. The former love birds shot in glorious black & white, each engaging in a cup of java is perfection, no? I asked you, and I'm waiting for an answer...seriously, speak up! It's time for me to say so long, farewell...the kitchen is alive with the sound of brewing!
Let's Pretend We're Married Nikki Bella & John Cena
Alright Total Bellas watchers, file this under - "I'm so not surprised" John Cena is now stating that he wants to be a Daddy.
This has to be one of the most transparent, not to mention lame PR Stunts ever. Seriously did we all not see this coming? First he is gun shy about marriage then proposes to long time love Nikki Bella, then he doesn't want children and they "break-up"...As If?! Cut to him now wanting kids. He always did my magpies, I'm not sure what the Total Point is here when a PR Stunt is this obvious it really has no point. "Yes" I know I am addressing it's inanity so perhaps I am feeding into it. But if any of you took this load of garbage at face value you may want to consult with someone about that. Time for Michael to dance & sing, get up and do his thing.

When I first heard of the break-up of John Cena & Nikki Bella it made me a little sad. These two seem so tailor made for each other, and I am a fan of a happy ending. It has since been revealed the reason for their parting of the ways is her wanting to become a Mom and him not wanting to become a Dad. The latest season of their show Total Bellas premiered last night. Leading up to it John has been back paddling on all the talk shows he has been on promoting it by begging Bella to take him back and stating he will have children with her. OK, I don't know about you, but this smells like one huge PR stunt to me at this point. No one who loves someone as much as he loves her would break-up over something like this in the first place, and then take it back, WTF?! If John really didn't want kids that badly he would not budge, period! I'm sure there will be a baby Cena/Bella bun in the oven in the not too distant future. Hope last night's ratings were the highest ever you two - just know you are not fooling this guy. Total Bellas on the WWW at: www.eonline.com/TotalBellas
As we all know life can be a drag, a drag race that is! "No" I am not speaking of the kind that involves fast cars. I am talking about the kind that involves men appropriating women, lip synching for their lives and of course the biggest Mother of Drag, RuPaul! This past weekend the 4th annual RuPaul's DragCon happened right here, not now, in Los Angeles, CA. Did I go? "No" but this photo of "Ru" cutting the ceremonial ribbon to kick it off with some of his "girls" is bright. cheery and colorful to say the least. Thus it made the Entertain Me cut, because that's the way I roll. You've gotta hand it to Mr. Charles he really pushed drag to a whole other level of pop culture. Enjoy your day and remember when life is a drag, just be a queen... Mic Drop! RuPaul's DragCon on the WWW: rupaulsdragcon.com/
That's correct peeps it's time to clap your hands! Let's call today the Sunday Clap! Look it's Laverne Cox & Lea Michele flapping their respective fins like barking seals at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City. What's that??? "No" I have nothing against either of them. It was simply the alternative fact image that came to my mind when I spied this pic on the WWW. So don't get your undies in a bind. For those of you out there scratching your heads thinking WTF is GLAAD? Well here is the definition - Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

That Time When... NSYNC, Ellen DeGeneres & Carson Daly
When boy band NSYNC disbanded in 2002, I never thought we would hear from them again collectively as a group, individually, of course, but as a whole unit?! Just when you thought it was safe to walk down Hollywood Blvd. NSYNC got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, yesterday, April 30th 2018. Hence me titling this entry "Bye, Bye, Bye" because it is the only song by the boys that I can recall. "No" I was not one of their fans. Seriously I don't think I am the target audience for a boy band, not being a teenage girl. But, when I saw this image of them with Ellen DeGeneres & Carson Daly in tow...WTF?! It made me nostalgic for a simpler, sillier time in the history of the world. "Yes" sometimes I have odd triggers. So let's kick off this first of May, or May Day as it were with some good vibes. You know you want them. NSYNC on the WWW at: https://www.nsync.com/
As you all know I am a big Pretty Little Liars fan, and I totes can't wait for Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. So as you can imagine I did a total WTF?! Double take when I saw this photo of Lucy Hale and Hillary Clinton together at last on the WWW. That's correct minions one of my favorite young actresses from a show I am a fan of, and the person I voted for in the Presidential race together for one brilliant moment in time. My inner teenage girl has been satiated right here right now. As the story goes the two "bumped into" each other at BeautyCon in NYC. How's that for a random encounter. No word on whether they exchanged beauty tips or not.... Mic Drop! Hillary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton Lucy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucyhale/?hl=en
Tom Connan is an artist whose work embodies all aspects of the human condition. His latest song and video "Charlie" is inspired by the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris. For the uninitiated here is the 411 on it: "Two gunmen armed with automatic rifles stormed the office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a target for Islamist terrorists since it printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2006 and 2011, and killed cartoonists and satirists whose names were called out as they were shot dead in turn."
It goes without saying that I had to hit Tom up to "Take 5" for all of you, as in five questions addressing his latest project. You've got this Tom...
MS: Why do you have an affinity with Charlie Hebdo?
TC: I don’t have any direct affinity with Charlie Hebdo, however when the terrorist attack against them happened in 2015, the world was deeply shocked. I was, too. On 9/11, I was a child so I wasn’t able to really understand what it meant. In 2015, I couldn’t believe haters had killed innocent journalists and caricaturists. I was still sleeping when my mum woke me up and yelled at me: ”they killed Charlie Hebdo!”. It is a symbol, as this is the first attack of many that happened since: Orlando, Barcelona, Manchester, Paris… Basically I had written the track “Charlie” a few days after the attack but I didn’t want to release it. But recently, I thought I had to.
Charlie (sick mix)
MS: Give me your take on the current state of democracy
TC: I have the impression some people under-estimate the crisis of democracy. Anti-Semitism is terribly strong, as well as homophobia and sexism. Sometimes I feel my mum grew up in a more peaceful time. I may be wrong. But I’m not that sure.
MS: You use skin in the video. You once told me how you love nudity, extrapolate
TC: For a long time I hated my body. Really. I was almost hiding myself with large clothes, as if I wanted to disappear. I feel better now, and when you feel better about who you are, you want to show it. Completely. It’s my own therapy.
MS: When you give a Rebel Yell, do you want more, more, more?
TC: I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but as far as “Charlie” is a rebel yell, yes, I believe it can reach the unconscious mind, which is my hidden goal. You can do much more with the unconscious than you can with the conscious. Don’t you think?
MS: Name your favorite song, other than yours at this moment
TC: was re-watching the old movie “Stepmom” starring Julia Roberts, and I heard that fabulous track “Ain’t no mountain high enough” from Marvin Gaye. Do you know any better song with the same kind of joy and energy? I don’t. It is brilliant. This is music. Other than that, I’m still listening to Jaden Smith’s Idol. Fucking good rap track.

A little bird called the WWW chirped in my ear and told me that one Beyonce' Knowles made her-story aka history performing at Coachella last night. "Yes" Virginia and all you other kids out there, Queen B was the first Black Woman to ever headline the desert music festival. Now aren't you happy?!
It was destiny, as in Destiny's Child. That's correct minions Beyonce' was joined on stage by Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland and they said each other's names.
Wow, what could possibly top that? Glad you asked. Solange took the stage along with Jay-Z and she beat the F#ck out of him again much to the crowd's delight.
OK, I am kidding about that, but they really did join their respective sister and wife to perform.
"Gonna fly now, Flying high now, Gonna fly, fly, fly" - The Theme From "Rocky" Surfing the WWW one can without any doubt turn up some amazing and unexpected things. Such as this image of Sylvester Stallone posing with the statue of himself as his character Rocky Balboa from the iconic Best Picture Oscar Winner Rocky in Philadelphia. "Yes" the film came out in 1976 minions. This being stated it still packs a punch (pun intended) - it's an underdog tale that inspires one to be their personal best. Let this image be your inspiration. I know it's motivating me as I am waking up and headed to the gym for some boxing, arm work & spin. I am a brute and take no prisoners. Seize the day people! It's the only April 8, 2018 you are you are ever going to have so make it yours! Rocky on IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0075148/
Today marks an Entertain Me first. That's right minions I have never acknowledged Taco Tuesday before on my little slice of the WWW...until today. Why, you might ask? Because you don't shed 30 lbs, like me by eating them. Especially if they come from Taco Bell. So why celebrate it today? Well because I randomly came across the most ludicrous quote from Justin Bieber comparing "The Bell" to Church. What's that you say? Oh I believe in one of them, the one that actually is tangible - without further showboating here is the weirdest TT quote ever!
Is That A Taco In Your Hand Or Are You Just Happy To See Me? Justin Bieber
"You don't need to go to church to be a Christian. If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn't make you a taco.” - Justin Bieber
I don't know about you, but I am now ready for many tacos stuffed with beef & cheese. I'm not really a vegan.
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 TheLate, 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.
Here it is and here it shall be the 90th edition of the Academy Awards will be televised, today. Am I excited? Hell to the f#cking no! Will I watch? Here and there is the answer to that question. While it has been an extremely lackluster year for movies, don't kid yourself, it really has. The only real reason to tune in would be the possibility of a moment like the one I nabbed above. "Yes" when Adrien Brody won Best Actor for The Pianist he inexplicably grabbed presenter Halle Berry and made out with her. I am sure it was a in the moment thing where Brody got swept away in the emotion of winning, but it was indeed an odder way of expressing that than Sally Field's"you like me" speech - which is endearing to this day. So let's cross our fingers something off the cuff happens today otherwise it's going to be a bumpy ride. By that I mean boring. Michael has left the building...

She's back and she's blonde, get used to it. That's correct peeps Oprah Winfrey is giving you blonde ambition in her latest opus A Wrinkle in Time. She plays a character named Mrs. Which, is she a good one, or a bad one? We will find out on March 9th, unless you have read the novel, well then I assume you already know the answer. For those of us unfamiliar like me here is the storyline: "Following the discovery of a new form of space travel as well as Meg's father's disappearance, she, her brother, and her friend must join three magical beings - Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which - to travel across the universe to rescue him from a terrible evil" Sounds pretty standard, but here is the ahem, wrinkle that makes this guy want to go see it: "The movie, is about what it means to be a source of light in a world in which darkness seems only to proliferate. It also makes the case for thinking independently when conformity is the norm." Yes the perfect antidote to the times we live in. Oprah is quoted, saying:
“I felt like we were making the new Wizard of Oz for another generation.”
Color me very intrigued...Blonde Oprah on a Blue Monday indeed!
"It was just my imagination runnin' away with me" - The Temptations, Just My Imaginatiion I woke this morning after dreaming of things that were fantastical, magical and imaginative. Then I found this image of Lady Gaga on the WWW and declared it my creative inspiration for the day. This stylish outfit is everything dreams are made of and our Lady of Gaga pulls it off magnificently! Whoever her stylist is, whether it be her or someone she hired deserves high praise for this retro/modern hybrid. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, isn't that Sir Elton John on her shirt? Whatever the case may be today I declare we should all bend it like Gaga. Because Lady Gaga's have more fun! Lady Gaga on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladygaga/?hl=en
