Because She's Sharon Stone

Not Painting By The Numbers
Sharon Stone

T.G.I.F! You've all heard of the term Squad Goals by now, well what about Bod Goals? Yep, I am laying plans right now to look amazing by my 52 Birthday - I mean look at Sharon Stone, look at her, she is 58!

Yep, the woman painting in an infinity pool wearing a black string bikini is 50 friggin 8 years old! Can you fathom that?!

Stone is truly inspiring I must say. She makes one want to get off their duff and take care of themselves to look their personal best when most people are putting themselves out to pasture. 

Cheers to you Ms. Stone and everyone else, have a terrific weekend!

Michael's Musings

Michael "Bullet Nips" Shinafelt

The world keeps turning and has been a very busy place this past week. So busy that the first celebrity passing of 2017 happened yesterday and it was major.

I don't know about you, but I feel a need to let off some steam, and ramble.

Let's get busy!!!

Wouldn't life be more fun if everyone's middle name was "Mother Fuckin'?" Hi, I'm Michael "Mother Fuckin'" Shinafelt, it has a nice ring.

Saw Moonlight this week with Naama Kates, amazing/beautiful/brilliant my pick for best film of the year.

I am so proud to call Los Angeles, CA my home as 750,000 strong turned out for the Women's March. My regret was I was unable to attend.

Had a belated Birthday lunch in Beverly Hills with my dear friend Julie McMahon at the Cheesecake Factory yesterday. Fish and Chips craving satisfied!

The first Trump supporter who complains to me that he isn't doing anything he promised gets a prize from me, a really special one that everyone will see.

R.I.P. Mary Tyler Moore a true legend and icon. I loved her performance in Ordinary People it remains one of my favorites to this day.

The Academy Award Nominations were announced this week in case you care

Sometimes I think to myself - Alyssa Milano is everything

What I said above goes for Ashley Judd as well

In case you are wondering what I'm doing Friday night well wonder no more! I am seeing LeAnn Rimes with Ken Phillips. For the record I am really looking forward to it, she is a terrific singer!

You'll find out. Trust me.

I've never kissed a guy #alternativefact

Time for me to motor because I am busy!

3 Women

Heist Ho, Heist Ho
l-r Sarah Paulson, Rihanna & Sandra Bullock

We've made it to the middle, Happy Hump Day! To get you over "The Hump" I bring you an image of 3 women from the set of Ocean's Eight in New York City. 

The 3 women being Sarah Paulson, Rihanna & Sandra Bullock. Yes the gang is all here, literally since that is what the movie is about a gang of women who pull off a heist.

Will the finished product be a hit or a miss? Fingers crossed for the former rather than the later, with all the estrogen power they've got for this endeavor it would be a shame if it were wasted on anything less than an terrific escapist time at the movies.

Ciao and have a good one!

Cookie Tossing Tuesday

Technicolor Yawn
Mariah Carey & Bryan Tanaka 

While surfing the WWW I spied this image of Mariah Carey giving a lap dance to her back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka during one of her concerts and nearly tossed my cookies.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term it means I nearly hurled, chased the rainbow, prayed to the porcelain God in other words threw up.

Nothing holds less schwing for me and a high gag factor than Mariah Carey when she is trying to sex things up, heck let's make that MC in general shall we???

Yes, I did watch the first three episodes of Mariah's World out curiosity for the train wreck value, but the wreck got stale and solidified how I view Carey overall, a self absorbed twat who is more boring than watching paint dry, and way more annoying than people whistling a happy tune in public.

Mariah's World does confirm the overall truth I have known about her for years. We just live in it. But we all knew that already, right?

So join me in one big collective hurl.

Happy Cookie Tossing! 

It's A Matt Bomer Kinda Day

Sizzling Cold
Matt Bomer

After what has been quite the eventful not to mention historic weekend I thought it would be nice to take a little time out for some eye candy.

Feast your eyes on one Matt Bomer at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Does this guy know how not to be hot? I think not, even bundled up in his winter jacket he still looks delectable stopping for a portrait at the IMDB studio.

If only Matt was wrapped around me like a winter jacket, sigh....

Happy Man Candy Monday!

Matt on, what else? IMDB:

Women's March

We've Got The Power
Madonna & Cher
Washington DC

Yesterday were the Women's Marches heard round the world! While I was unable to attend this Historic Event, I did follow it throughout the day thanks to the wonder of technology.

My favorite sign for the day? "Carrie Fisher didn't die for this shit!" I am sure she is beaming with pride somewhere.

No one should have their human rights taken away. Women's Rights are human rights whether  you be gay, straight, transgender, bi-sexual or fluid. What's happening in our country now is utter bullshit. Who is a corrupt ego maniac/bully/narcissist/male chauvinist/prick whose married to a sex worker place to make these decisions for any woman?

I decided to gather images from the sacred event from yesterday, the most notable one? Madonna & Cher at the Women's March on Washington DC - the others? I gathered from my friends who posted them on Facebook.

Let's Celebrate Life & The Personal Power We All Have!!!

The Morning After

WTF?!
Michelle Obama & Hillary Clinton

"There's got to be a morning after, If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine, Let's keep on looking for the light" 

- Maureen McGovern Theme from The Poseidon Adventure

Well it's the morning after and although we didn't board the SS Poseidon it certainly feels like we are on a sinking ship.

The majority of you, like myself, are still feeling like they are in an alternate universe, an episode of The Twilight Zone to be more specific. Well honestly we are.

However I am going about my usual Saturday routine of drinking my smoothie and heading to my spin class at Gold's Gym. Life does not stop because a bigly bully is now our commander and chief.

With this being said I am going to leave you with the image above on the first day of what is for sure going to be a turbulent voyage to say the least.

Michelle Obama & Hillary Clinton looking at each other says it all without any verbiage.

Make the morning after awesome for yourselves and your sanity.

Time for my Blueberry smoothie.

Is The Sky Falling Yet???

"The sun'll come out, Tomorrow, Bet your bottom dollar, That tomorrow
There'll be sun!" - Annie

Remember that catchy/obnoxious/over optimistic tune from the Broadway Musical Annie? Of course you fucking do, who could ever forget it?! It really is genius whether you like it or not for that reason alone.

Well Annie, it's a Hard Knock Life and I'm not so sure about what tomorrow will bring, but the reign has come girl!

It's time for me to get in formation and sound off!

Lindsay Lohan converts to Islam. The only person that cares about this "news" is Lindsay herself since people are now gossiping about her again. 

Did any of you spread your legs for the first drop out punk that came along? Inquiring minds want to know.

You never know when someone is going to lick a cat, the threat is real.

Nihilist Thought Of The Day: Always remember you are somebody's reason to smile, because you are a joke

American Horror Story: Inauguration begins tomorrow! It's said to be the scariest season yet!

Can't wait for Lady Gaga to perform at the Superbowl half time show

Betsy DeVos=WTF?! They are now synonymous (given what I have witnessed I'm sure I am speaking over her head with that word)

Did you hear? It's all the rage to emote in public

I'm not a Socialist, but I believe Health Care is a right, not a privilege

"Belle is a Better Role Model Than Cinderella"

Ring My "Belle"
Emma Watson

Never did I think the day would come when I would take seriously a case being made that Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast is a better role model than their Cinderella is.

But and however, when the person presenting the evidence is one Ms. Emma Watson I listen. Her opinions are articulate, intelligent and immaculately stated. 

Ms. Watson actually turned down the role of the glass slipper losing princess in Kenneth Branagh's film, who was ultimately portrayed by Lily Collins. She was then offered Beauty and the Beast. The character of Belle resonated with her so much more. 

Here is the reason she feels Belle trumps Cindy any given day (source E!Online):

Watson argues Belle is a much better "role model" than Cinderella. "She remains curious, compassionate and open-minded. And that's the kind of woman I would want to embody as a role model, given the choice," she explains. "There's this kind of outsider quality that Belle had, and the fact she had this really empowering defiance of what was expected of her. In a strange way, she challenges the status quo of the place she lives in, and I found that really inspiring. She manages to keep her integrity and have a completely independent point of view. She's not easily swayed by other people's perspective—not swayed by fear-mongering or scapegoating."

Well, you can't argue this now, can you? You can try, but...

Working "9 to 5"

Trio
l-r Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin & Dolly Parton

Well this should be fun! Jane Fonda & Dolly Parton are going to present Lily Tomlin the 53rd SAG Lifetime Achievement Award at the what else? The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 29th. 

OK, I don't get the 53 and 23 thing, but I do comprehend why the award is being presented on the SAG Award Show. It really doesn't matter anyway when it brings us 9 to 5 reunion, right?!

"Yes" Fonda, Tomlin & Parton have remained close friends all these years since their classic work place comedy 9 to 5 was released December 19th 1980, the day after my Birthday, there's a piece of trivia I bet  you didn't know before.

I was taken to see it that weekend actually (I wasn't old enough to drive yet and of course you know my Mother wanted to see it too) What a fun movie it was and still is.

This will make the SAG Awards a must see for me this year, well at least this part of the show, and I am sure this news has put a smile on all your collective faces, thus I have done my job.

Later and have a Groovy Tuesday!

Shopping From A - Z

Poser
Jennifer Lopez

Today we are celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. and that means most of you out there are rejoicing as it is another three day weekend. Cheers to that!

So I thought why not celebrate it with the time honored three day weekend tradition of, what else? Shopping...!!!

Witness one hot Mama, Jennifer Lopez posing for photos while out shopping in Los Angeles. It appears that she ditched the swag to play mannequin for the paparazzi. She gives good face, you must admit.

You just know she can shop 'till she drops too! 

Since shopping has never been my thing I plan on doing some cleaning & organizing today.

What are your plans?

In memory of Martin Luther King Jr. and in celebration of having an extra day to yourselves, have a good one!

Who Is That Masked Man???

The Mummy Starring
John Stamos

Seriously, I would have never guessed it was John Stamos behind the mask. He's pretty mummified, thus it's too hard to really tell who it is.

That being stated, while I never found Stamos attractive when he was younger, ever since he has hit his 50's he has really come into his own and well, yeah, the guy is hotter than he has ever been. There I said it now leave me alone.

I'm going to have to do some detective work to find out what he masks his face with because whatever the magical elixir is, it is doing a bang up job! Love to keep what I have looking fresh in my 50's too.

Well I am off to spin soon at Gold's Gym Hollywood, yep, that's the way I roll on Sunday mornings, however you roll have a groovy day!!!

The Elephant In The Room

Open Wide
Anderson Cooper & Friend

Woke up this morning got myself a bowl of blueberries and some Tejava Tea and started feeling perky. Caffeine and antioxidants will do that to ya.

Perky generally makes me silly, and I guess that makes this a Silly Saturday.

Not that this image of Anderson Cooper and an elephant is necessarily silly, but it certainly has the power to be. It also can evoke a number of other emotions, but most importantly none of them would be negative. There is a lot of that going around these days, I can't imagine why...Not!!!

Well I am onto my next piece of fruit this ayem a banana and then off to spin.

Have a whoop ass Saturday and get silly with it!

Like A Virgin, Cyndi Lauper

Taking A Detour
Cyndi Lauper

Scott Newton

Hard to believe but this will be Cyndi's first time at this rodeo, Yee Haw!!!

Grammy®, Emmy® and Tony®-winning music icon Cyndi Lauper is taking her country DETOUR to landmark television music series “Austin City Limits” (ACL) this Saturday, January 14 on PBS (check local listings). Lauper debuts on the ACL stage in an entertaining hour of classic hit songs and the stories behind them.

Lauper recently wrapped up a headlining nationwide tour in 2016 after reigning in a new legion of fans with her new country-tinged album DETOUR, which features a collection of country covers from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s (track listing below). DETOUR, which debuted No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, features duets with several special guests, including country music royalty: Emmylou Harris (on the title track), Willie Nelson (“Night Life,” a song he wrote over 50 years ago), Vince Gill (Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty’s “You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”) and Alison Krauss (Dolly Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas.”) Jewel also makes an appearance on DETOUR, showcasing her prodigious yodeling skills on “I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart,” which was the first country song by a woman to sell one million copies.

Providing viewers with a front-row seat to the best in music performance for over 40 years, Austin City Limits continues the legendary run showcasing more icons, innovators and highly-anticipated debuts. The series airs weekly on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings) and full episodes are made available online for a limited time at pbs.org/austincitylimits immediately following the initial broadcast.

I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Photographed That Way
Michael Shinafelt

So 2017 is picking up a little steam this week, and IMHOP not in a good way. 

It's that time of the week again, yep, I have a weekly, for my take on everything. Here we go, here we go now, get busy!


My best advice to everyone this year? Be your own fucking star!!!!

Honestly I really don't care about Donald Trump's fixation on golden showers, so what? What bothers me is him being a sociopath.

In case you give a crack, I got a bicycle this week, Yay me!

Bicycle, Bicycle!

There will always be overrated rim job queens

My producer friend Shani Bayne accidentally included me on her production group text conversation. Girl I now know when you are sleeping and I know when you are awake.

Fox News said Casey Anthony won Best Actor for Manchester By The Sea at The Golden Globe's. Ummmmm, it was Casey Affleck. But Casey Anthony wins best liar who was set free for killing her baby. Her and OJ Simpson have a lot they could talk about. 

Have you ever seen Kellyanne Conway and the Gollum in the same place? Just Saying.

Get "Snatched" Wednesday

Getting In "Formation"
Amy Schumer & Goldie Hawn

While I was a little taken back by Goldie Hawn's appearance on the Golden Globe's this past weekend, and to clarify by "appearance" I don't mean the fact that she was on the show. I know why she was on with one Ms. Amy Schumer, they have a movie coming out May 12th called Snatched and I can't wait!

Both women are brilliant on screen comedians and even if the movie falls short of their talents I am willing to bet their chemistry and considerable skills will make it worth the watch.

This is one of those rare dream teams that hit the silver screen that compels you to buy a ticket just to see them werk!

As you may or may not recall the two first teamed up for a brilliant parody of Beyonce's song Formation.

Check out the funny as fuck trailer below and watch your ass!

Dinner Is Served
Jake Gyllenhaal

As we are all getting our 2017 sea legs and aren't quite in the groove yet I thought to myself "Self why not run some man candy today" - while surfing the WWW I spied this pic of Jake Gyllenhaal in St. Barts looking edible.

That's how I roll, and so I am giving you Titty Tuesday realness, of the male variety.

It makes me want to dive in the pool, if you catch my drift....

Have a good one minions!

Red Carpet Ready, Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Red Carpet Ready? You Bet!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus 

Nothing, I mean nothing will top Meryl Streep's Golden Globe speech last night. I thought about running it today since it was in a word, amazing, but of course by now everyone has posted and re-posted it so I decided to go another direction.

Here without further hyperbole is my favorite Instagram post about the Golden Globes...Julia Louis-Dreyfus! Although she did not win this year for her HBO show Veep she's a winner in my book for this photo which she captioned: 

"About to hit the red carpet & feeling confident. @goldenglobes@veephbo @karenkawahara#goldenglobes"

Confident, obviously. Who other than JLD would have the chutzpah to post an image as funny/hot/cool as this I ask you???

Do you remember your first time watching the Golden Globes? Hell maybe you've even attended them. For the record I have no recollection of when I popped my GG cherry. That being stated I know I have been watching them for what feels like forever, and I plan to, tonight. 

So I thought to myself what better way to celebrate them by running a few photos of some big name stars first time at the rodeo. Happy Globe Day!

Pretty In Polka Dots, Natalie Portman

Shopping From A-Z
Natalie Portman

Because it's award season, because she is earning raves for her performance as Jacqueline Kennedy, because she can rock a polka dot dress, because she's well, Natalie Portman for Taco Tuesday's sake!

Ms. Portman, Natalie if your nasty was snapped out and about very pregnant and shopping in Los Feliz, CA. See the bag in her hand that says Skylight? That is actually the name of an awesome book store nestled in among the many hipster shops and restaurants in this area of Los Angeles. 

Yes, I have been there, that's how I know.

This photo also serves me as a reminder that I have to see Natalie in Jackie, everyone I know says she is amazing in the film and the film itself isn't too shabby either. She is sure to nab a Best Actress Nomination come Oscar time. 

Happy Saturday Peeps and be proud of your polka dots!
