Freaky Friday

Angelina Jolie

"But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here" - Send in the Clowns

Lately the song Send in the Clowns has been occupying various regions of my cerebral cortex. For quite obvious reasons I don't need to spell out for you I am sure. Well I decided to get all Freaky Friday on you today and post some images of celebrities made-up as Evil Clowns. I feel they are quite vogue at present.

Enjoy!

Class Of 2020

Class Of 2020

Congratulations to the Class of 2020, you made it! Too bad about the pandemic, but there have been many inventive and wonderful ways your graduation year has been and will be celebrated. For instance this past weekend when I was walking by The Immaculate Heart Of Mary they were having a parking lot graduation. 

Basically everyone sat in their cars as the ceremony took place, when the students name was called out they were to don their mask and go up to the stage to accept their diploma. Clever, fun and still full of the possibility of the usual Graduation Day embarrassment.

People have taken to the streets to salute you and famous world figures have recorded special messages and songs on YouTube just for you. 

Let's face it you special day may not have been the usual pomp and circumstance, but it will always be very special, because of how unique it was, you will have some very amazing memories when you look back on this. I am going to leave you with President Obama and his wife Michelle with their message to you.

Congrats to all of you, well done!!!

Alfresco

Alfresco
Brad Falchuk & Gwyneth Paltrow 

With all the turmoil happening in these troubled times I thought it would be a good thing to take a moment and hang out with Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Brad Falchuk and dine Alfresco with them in the back of their car in Santa Monica, CA.

Don't they look so chill and happy? I think they do. Thus this is your assignment today, you have no choice but to accept it.

Find your Happy Place, something that makes you relaxed, something that soothes your inner savage beast. 

Mine will be to meditate, I lay on my living room floor, close my eyes on focus on all the positive things in my life. It's amazing how I feel after and it really shifts your focus to a good place.

So pack your bags Minions it's time for you to take a trip to your Happy Place. The train has arrived so get on board! Don't forget to take some Alfresco with you!

Hump Day & Chill

Meditate
Jennifer Aniston

“There’s usually some sort of meditation at that point. Usually 20 minutes, or 10 if I can’t get the full amount of time in. It’s a set [Transcendental Meditation mantra] that I do every time." - Jennifer Aniston 

With Summer officially being canceled due to the pandemic lock down, stress and anxiety levels are pretty high at present. Might I suggest you ask yourself: "What would Jennifer Aniston do?"

Meditate naturally. Honestly it's something so easy to do, and it makes you feel focused and less agitated and susceptible to negative or depressing energy and thoughts.

I know when I do it as I am fading off in my bed for the evening I wake up feeling amazing.

What's that you say? You don't know how to achieve this goal? Nonsense there are apps for it as well as online articles and instruction.

So let's make our Wednesday a little calmer and Hump Day & Chill with some meditation. Just do it! You'll thank me later 😃

Taco Tuesday

Gangsta!
Fergie

One of the things that is missed during this time of quarantine is Taco Tuesday. While this was not a regular thing for me to engage in, I have done it. It's always a festive fun time with a pitcher of margaritas and good friends along for the ride.

So let's have a Taco Tuesday virtually, sort of, shall we? Let's join Fergie wearing the latest must have fashion accessory, the face mask, as she grabs some Taco Bell in Santa Monica, CA.

Yeah, not quite as fun as hitting your favorite Mexican Restaurant, but... 

There is a Taco Bell near me, so now I'm contemplating hitting it for some pseudo TT amusement. "Yes" Thank You Fergie, now I am going to pack on even more weight, Ugh!

Mic Drop!

Monday Motivation

Seeing Red
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry

With all the chaos in the world I thought we needed some Monday Motivation today that would represent and spread some joy. Thus when I stumbled upon this photo of the "Artist Formerly Known As Prince" Harry and Meghan Markle at the Mountbatten Festival of Music, I knew I have struck MM gold!

Because, let's face it, life is tough, that's just the way it is. These two are going trough their emancipation from the Royal Family at present and publicly so they are pretty much a unifying symbol of that.

Yet, those matching vibrant red ensembles are enough to put a smile on anyone's face 😀

Perseverance is the word for this Monday. Everyone of us has the strength to deal with life's adversities. 

So put on your personal "vibrant red" and go out into the world and seize the day!

Tunesday Tuesday!

Rocking 65!
Dale Bozzio

Yesterday was Missing Persons front woman Dale Bozzio's 65th Birthday! Wow! I remember getting in tune (pun intended) with the band my freshman year in college via a well rounded, musically, guy in my dorm.

In fact he and I had tickets to see them in concert, but alas, the show got cancelled 😢 No worries I did see Ms. Bozzio perform with a version of Missing Persons (version meaning, not the original line up) on a double bill with E.G. Daily a few years back at the Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip.

Thus in honor of my Missing Persons fandom and Ms. Bozzio's Birthday I am bequeathing you with a song that is quite timely at present by them "Destination Unknown." 

"Life is so strange when you don't know, How can you tell where you're going to, You can't be sure of any situation, Something could change and then you won't know"

Get the picture? Hit the video after the jump!

Monday Motivation

Always trust your instincts, even your more basic ones. "Yes" that is today's Monday Motivation post the Oscars. Did you all watch them? I did, the show as per usual was hit and miss, but when it hit, oh boy did it!

The Oscars are actually what got me thinking about trusting ones instincts, really they honestly did, cross my heart. How so you may wonder? Well I listened to my gut, it kept saying from the time Nominations were announced to the day of the Ceremony that Parasite was going to take home Best Picture. All my industry friends poo pooed the notion saying it would for sure take home Best Foreign Language Film but not the main prize. Well I hate to say it, but "I told you so!"

So after that it got me thinking about how my instincts and with everything going on at present how they have served me. Quite spectacularly I must say, in fact I just did.

They have been so dead on, for better, never worse, even if they say the outcome of something won't be necessarily what I would like, the understanding of it via my amazing intuition makes it all good.

I hereby decree that you get in touch with that inner voice, that is your Monday Motivation.

Listen closely...

Just Because...Winter

Hazy Shade of Winter
Jude Law

Just Because it's damn cold this ayem, Just Because warm jackets make you look fat & Just Because it's, well, Winter - Here is Jude Law bundled up in his Winter finest whilst walking around Manhattan. 

"Yes" nothing says Winter like this photo of Jude hitting the streets of NYC looking rather chilled to the bone I must say, and in fact I just did.

Honestly I can't wait for Winter to scram, get lost, beat it creep! Currently it is a quite chilling fourty-seven degrees here in Los Angeles with the high expected to be in the low sixties. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!!!

Thus the heat is on and the Green Tea is flowing - 

Now is the Winter of our discontent, indeed!

Monday Motivation

I could really use some Monday Motivation today, as I have a slight hangover. This is the first time I had one in eons.

"Yes" I downed one too many glasses of wine last night, thus at present I am hitting the "hair of the dog" arf!

That's what I get for not monitoring my intake while viewing the Grammy's, of which I oddly enough remember the winners.

Honestly I thought Lizzo would take home more Grammy's than she did. I was also surprised at Billie Eilish winning as big as she did.

Que Sara Sara...now about that hangover, I am in major need of some Monday Motivation indeed!

Seventeen Days Until, You Know...

The Stockings Were Hung...
l-r
Seth Rogen, Santa Claus & James Franco

The countdown to Christmas has heated up with a mere seventeen days until the Holiday of Holidays arrives. Thus I thought it would be fun to show a weird Celebrity Christmas Card.

Bare witness (literally) to James Franco and Seth Rogen sitting on Santa's lap, uh, naked. Except for the stockings hung by the, never mind. Nudity, it's what Christmas is all about, and giving, something to Santa perhaps? Yeah, that's the ticket.

Does this make visions of sugar plums dance in your heads? It's giving me visions of something that's for sure!

With Christmas almost here, what do you want Santa to stuff your stocking with? "Yes" that was a euphemism.

Ho, ho, ho...

Monday Motivation

Please Sir, I Want Some More
Red Wine

"Red red wine, It's up to you, All I can do, I've done" Red Red Wine, UB40

Guess what's happening now minions? Red, red wine of the Cabernet Sauvignon kind is what my Monday Motivation is. 

Hey, motivation is a mysterious thing, it can take on many forms, so sit right back and you'll hear a tale...

"Yes" red wine is my end game for Monday as I am having it with cheese and crackers as a little before Thanksgiving celebration with a friend tonight.

Any questions? I thought not, now carry on, that's all.

Say Cheese! 😺

It's About The Coffee

Must Have Caffeine
Evan Peters & Halsey

While trying to focus and get my body in motion this morning all I can think about is how much I would love some coffee. 

Seeing this photo of Evan Peters and Halsey hitting a Starbucks in Burbank, CA isn't helping matters much, "Yes" it's making me want some coffee even more, duh!

So if you thought I was going to address the Halsey pregnancy rumor when you saw this pic in today's post, you thought wrong. She is or she isn't either way who cares.

For me, myself and I, it's all about the coffee.

I'm gonna head out and get me some, right now...Ciao!

You Don't Talk About Fight Club...

Slide!
Zoe Kravitz & Karl Glusman

With only 11 days left until Halloween, I promise not to talk about Fight Club, but I will talk about Zoe Kravitz & Karl Glusman dressed as Marla Singer & Tyler Durden for the High Holy Day.

Fight Club stars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton as Tyler Durden and Helena Bonham-Carter as Marla Singer for those of you out of the loop on that. From the looks of it I am guessing Mr. Glusman is going more for the Brad Pitt "Durden Look" than the Edward Norton version.

Kudos to Zoe Kravitz for really nailing the body language Helena Bonham-Carter used in film.

With Halloween closing in, do you know what your costume is going to be yet?

Me either, start conjuring up something, and conjure it now!!!

Monday Motivation

Mimic This!

For this week's Monday Motivation I thought I would try this thing that is happening on Instagram called Mimic Monday where you post a photo of someone of yourself making a silly face for others to mimic and tag you in to show they have done it too.

"No" I'm not going to participate, and you don't have to either honestly. I simply thought it would be a fun thing to kick off the week, you know some levity. Thus I bring you Entertain Me's inaugural Mimic Monday poster stud Christian Bale. 

That's correct minions I said Christian is a stud, and well, he is. Even when he is making a silly, hard to replicate face for you to mimic he still is hot, hot, hot IMHO.

So get your Monday Motivation on and "Bend It Like Bale" if you can't mimic this, then go where there is no path and leave a trail with your own face for others to imitate. Or simply sit this one out.

In other words whatever path you so choose "Just Do It!"

Freaky Friday

Fangtastic!
Angelina Jolie

"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire" - Angelina Jolie

You know those times when you are surfing the WWW and you come across something unexpected? Well today is one of those times for me, thus I hereby decree it to be a Freaky Friday state of mind.

For some reason know only to an algorithm a photo of Angelina Jolie as a Vampire came up in one of my searches. It was so striking that I saved it and foisted it upon my minions today, right here, right now.

Not to mention it fits perfectly with a quote from Ms. Jolie herself about her childhood aspiration to become a blood sucking freak. To be honest her and I had the same lofty goal as kids. "Yes" I to wanted to be a creature of the night.

Combined with the fact that the Maleficent sequel is opening soon, October 18, 2019 to be exact. It's a Freaky Friday concoction too delicious not to imbibe...!!!

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary... say it three times and see what happens.

Happy Friendship Day!

Donna & Kelly Friends 4 Life!
Tori Spelling & Jennie Garth

"Yes" in case you are out of the loop today is National Friendship Day, time to celebrate those in our lives that we hold near and dear. 

Thus I thought what better way to get the friendship train rolling than featuring two BFF's Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth who forged a bond on the set of a little show called Beverly Hills 90210. These two woman have been friends that damn long, and always have each others backs publicly and privately.

Well here there are celebrating the 90210 Reunion series which airs this Wednesday on FOX. Note the way cool dresses with their respective characters names from the show painted on them. 

Hey, want to hear something really interesting? I never really watched 90210 when it initially aired it was one of those shows I most have seen in syndicated reruns on Pop TV. It is one of my lazy day guilty pleasures, and "Yes" I will be tuning in to see these two friends for life reunite this Wednesday.

Time to Text, PM & E-mail my friends and wish them well...

TTFN - Ta Ta For Now, minions!

Once Upon A Time...On Saturday

Angry Birds???
Leonardo DiCaprio 

With Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood" being the summer's hottest ticket right here, right now, when I stumbled across this photo of star Leonardo DiCaprio caught making a face only he could explain, well I just had to run it. Why? Because we all need fun in our lives.

Trust me this is not meant to make fun of Leonardo it's to have fun with him. I'm pretty 100% sure he knew he was making this face by the looks of it, I would venture to say he was not caught off guard by some tricky paparazzi.

So it's Saturday a day to chill and not take life too seriously. Perhaps even engaging in the Tomfoolery of making a goofy face in public for no other reason than to put a smile on your face and others.

You only have one life after all, lighten up bitches.

Mic Drop!

Monday Motivation

Pump It Jam!
Gal Gadot

Today's Monday Motivation is the heavy topic of weightlifting, something that I recently discovered at the age of 53. I attempted lifting in my twenties and couldn't stand it. Then post my fifty pound weight loss I was told by someone close to me that I would start lifting weights. Well this person used to be a trainer and I told them if they wanted me to do that they would coach me on what they thought I should do and how to proceed correctly.

They did, and I now do! I F#cking enjoy lifting weights now. I think I figured out why. There is more to it than bulking up, also at this point in my life anything I do, I am doing for myself. Another reason, is I now know how to do each set of weights I was assigned to do with properly and with intent. Meaning I like the control I have while engaging in this form of exercise.

For visual inspiration on this Monday I bring you Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot hitting those beasts and hitting them hard! As her T-Shirt says: JOCK and indeed she is...!!!

Take that Monday!
