On With The Show...

Getting "Red"y
Seth Meyers

Tonight Hollywood's biggest party, the Golden Globe Awards turns 75 - that's right folks the GG's are three quarters of a century old. To celebrate this milestone they got themselves Seth Meyers to host.

Even though I believe the only nominated film I have seen this year thus far is I, Tonya most likely I will watch them as the show tends to be entertaining because of it's spontaneous moments that one does not usually see on the tightly orchestrated Oscars.

Also I love seeing the women decked out in their best and worst gowns. Daring fashion viewing is a calling of mine. 

Without further adieu, let me leave you with a list of the nominees...go Golden or???

Blonde & Blonder

Who Sported It Best?
Reese Witherspoon & Gillian Anderson 

In what appears to be a battle of the blondes, here is a shot of Reese Witherspoon & Gillian Anderson at AFI Awards in Los Angeles.

It appears Gillian is staking claim on Blonde Ambition while Reese is aiming for the Blonde Next Door. 

Maybe the pair will do a movie together. 2 Broke Blondes or perhaps 2 Blondes A Brunette & A Pizza Place. 

Whatever the scenario, let's face it, there is never enough blonde in the world!!!

Cheers!

Queen Margot

I admit it, I had only heard of Margot Robbie before seeing I, Tonya. "Yep" I, Tonya was the first time I had even seen Ms. Robbie in a film. She was spectacular as Tonya Harding. I suspect she will take home the Golden Globe this Sunday for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.

What's that you say? What about her turn as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, you mean you didn't see that. "No" I didn't thank you very much, honestly you would have had to kidnap me, tie me up and prop my eyes open A Clockwork Orange style to get me to watch it, and I would still find a way to resist.

Robbie who appears on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter with Tonya Harding tells them she has one regret about doing that movie:

"There's just all this stuff you learn along the way, like, when you get those death threats, it's [smart] to have a security team do a background check on whoever sent them to see if there is any past history of violence because you'll need to know whether you need security to go to certain events. And every time you do a background check, it's going to cost $2,000, so take that into consideration when you're getting yourself into this."

"And it's like, 'OK, that's a different kind of career.' Because then you need to always do a job that can financially support that lifestyle; you can't just do indie films for the rest of your life because that film back there changed everything and now you have to be able to afford security, I just wish someone had explained a lot of those things to me early on. I wouldn't have resented the position I found myself in because I would've known what I was getting myself into."

See kids being a Movie Star isn't always shits & giggles. Best of luck to you Margot on Sunday, you got this!

Hump Day & Chill

Get It!
Colton Haynes

Searching the WWW this ayem for some sort of Hump Day inspiration I scrolled across this nude selfie of Colton Haynes and became immediately inspired if you get my drift.

There is something about Colton that really gets my blood pumping. Is it that handsome face? Those baby blues? Well partly, but what really grabbed me about this image is Boys got butt! 

"Yes" Colton's ass is truly inspiring and gets my creative juices going and flowing. He is Hump Day & Chill perfection the first Wednesday of 2018. Next week I will have moved on to someone new, but for now, take in the beauty of Colton's booty. Say that three times fast, c'mon I dare you.

Time to attend to those creative juices I mentioned earlier. Ciao, and make it werk!

Get Into The Groove

I Am The Ringleader I Call The Shots
Britney Spears

The time has come to say "Get off your dead ass and do something" - yep I took some much needed down time during the New Year celebration now it's time to "Get Into The Groove" again.

Meaning hitting spin this AM, weighing in and crossing my fingers that I still have only gained three pounds of Holiday weight as I did treat myself to In-N-Out Burger yesterday, hey it was New Year's Day what else was I supposed to do?!

For some reason while browsing the WWW upon waking today, January 2nd of 2018 this image of Britney Spears performing in Vegas on NYE caught my fancy and is fueling me with inspiration. No, I am not really a fan of hers, but, I do like a handful of songs she has done here and there. From the looks of the stage she is performing one of my faves of hers Circus. 

"All the eyes on me in the center of the ring, Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip, Just like a circus" 

This sums it up for me today to perfection, on with the show! Have a good one peeps!

Be Bold, Be Brave

Hello 2018
Michael Shinafelt

As I sit here on the first full day of 2018 in Los Angeles, CA I am wondering what wisdom one can impart this New Year's Day? 

The quote I used for today's byline: "Be Bold, Be Brave" is how I live my life everyday no matter what. It's my mantra, and passing it on to you was what I thought I could do today. 

This is something everyone has in them and that they should strive for, nothing is worse than a life half lived due to fear. Take it from someone who has been there and done that. Change is possible if you want it bad enough. Life is one of those things that you get back what you put into it.

On that note I hope all of you had a happy & safe New Year's Eve and this post finds you in the most festive of moods. 

What did I do? Well I can't disclose that completely but let's just say it involved a visit from my favorite witch and...

Happy 2018 Minions!

Keep up with me this, and every year at:

New Year, New...

You Make Me Feel, Mighty Real
Michael Shinafelt

Well it's here, New Year's Eve has arrived! 2018 here we come! So let's cut to the chase, if there is one completely asinine NYE sentiment it has to be: "New Year, New Me" - Ummmmmmm, OK how in the F#ck is that going to happen?!

The things going on with you from last year aren't going to magically disappear at the stroke of midnight, they will carry over. Not to mean that is a bad thing, it simply means you are still going to be you. Sure you can work to improve yourself, in many ways like your health, taking a class and learning something new or being the change you want to see in the world. But new you, WTF?!

All we can do is the best we can by constantly striving to become our authentic selves in service to a better world to inhabit. Thus I never make New Year's resolutions they are only a recipe for failure and I am constantly working on bettering my world all year long. 

Basically all NYE means is it's a different year. Nothing more. 

Happy 2018 and may you you strive to become a better you everyday!

Who's That Girl?

If I Was You, I'd Want To Be Me Too
Sharon Stone

Who's that hiding behind those sunglasses rocking an animal print bikini? It's Sharon Stone, bitch, and guess what? She's 59 years young!

It seems Ms. Stone has found the fountain of youth or perhaps has a portrait in the attic as she puts most women half her age to shame.

Sharon looks terrific dressed down or up. In fact while choosing an image for today's post I debated whether to feature her looking stunning in a glamorous gown or posting her in this bikini. Ultimately the two piece won. My reasoning was this, if you are going to show how great 59 looks make sure it's all out there to view. It's very inspiring!

As I sit drinking my smoothie before spin class it also drives home that I have lost 24 lbs and am 52. "Yes" 50 is indeed looking like the new 30 more and more peeps. 

Get inspired to be your personal best in 2018, the effect it will have on your life is amazing!

T.G.I.F! Juggling Life

He's Got Balls
Hugh Jackman

This image of Hugh Jackman demonstrating his juggling skills on The Graham Norton Show perfectly sums up my life at present. The Greatest Showman star is telling me life, mine in partik is like a circus. Hey that's what it meant to me when I saw it, feel free to assign your own meaning, please.

You may be thinking WTF?! Christmas is over. Yes, but my life is firing on all cylinders people, things I laid the ground work for this past year are coming to fruition, in every part of my Big Top extravaganza. 

So today December 29 the last Friday of 2017 I leave you with the amazing Mr. Jackman and his balls to contemplate.

Mic Drop. That's all folks.

Michael's Musings

It's All Fun & Games Until...
Michael Shinafelt

Christmas has come and gone and now we are moving on up to 2018, ponder that. Thus this weeks column may be a tad repetitive, considering all the things that have led up to it.

Or perhaps it won't. Whatever, I'm rebel just for kicks now, might've had your fill, but I feel it still...

Wanna be on my level today? Climb!

Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? Asking for a friend.

Current Mood? Fuschia 

My Mom visited moi for Christmas, best present ever!

Oh, we went and saw I, Tonya - loved it! Yes, that's a recommendation.

I gained a mere 3 lbs over Christmas, child's play, off in no time

Yoga put a ring on it yesterday 

Sex Cells
Me & Traci Lords

In case you didn't know I went to Sex Cells this past Friday to hang with the awesome Traci Lords

Where in the world is...(you know someone whose name should be here) 

Shout Out to my buddy Tom Connan who has a brilliant new single out Charlie - listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIBZ5kklVAM

Speaking of Charlie's isn't A Charlie Brown Christmas one of the best Holiday specials ever?

Who the F#ck is styling Lisa Rinna & Erika Jayne during their confessionals this season on RHOBH? Ladies, just say "No"

Speaking of "No" that is what I say every year when my Dr. tries to convince me to get a flu shot. Guess what? I never get the flu and people I know who receive the shot get sick, Hmmmmmmm...

On that note, follow me and party like it will be 2018 the next time we connect. Why? Because it will be!

Why Not? Lucy Hale

Smile, It's Contagious
Lucy Hale

While browsing the WWW to what did my wandering eyes did appear, but Lucy Hale minus the eight tiny reindeer. 

That's correct minions, Lucy aka Aria Montgomery of Pretty Little Liars and the upcoming CW show Life Sentence has that post Christmas glow. You know the one you get when it's over, yet you are satisfied? Like the cat the swallowed the canary, a pig in the mud, the...well you get the picture.

Looks like Lucy had fun exchanging gifts with her friends. Hope you did with you and yours.

Christmas comes but once a year, however this year we need to keep the spirit going, seriously think about it, but not too much.

Happy Hump Day!

2018 Here We Come!

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened" - Dr. Seuss

Christmas 2017 is officially over, don't cry minions, get some backbone and put on a happy face.

Onward and upward I always say. Time to put on your big people pants and brace yourself for 2018, bitches!

With that sentiment I hope you all had a wonderful Yuletide, mine? It was pretty great my Mom came to Los Angeles to visit me with her guy Bob in tow. We got our Uber on and feasted on Mexican Food at Camacho's Cantina located at Universal City Walk.

On to the next Uber ride, our destination? The Arc Light Cinema, Hollywood where we saw I, Tonya, which I loved! Mom enjoyed, Bob not so much. 

They got Jack in the Box to go after the fact to take on the Uber to our final destination, home. None of that for this guy since I recently shed 24 lbs.

Yes, we were finally home for Christmas. 

And now it is the morning after, because there's got to be one, ya know.

Have a good one!

Christmas Day 2017

Where's My Shelf?
Michael Shinafelt

Like most of you minions I am celebrating Christmas Day with family, most notably my Mom and her guy Bob who are visiting from Washington State. 

Today day we are indulging in the equivalent of Chinese Food from A Christmas Story and having Mexican Food instead. 

Here is a Christmas riddle. What do you call an elf without a shelf? Elf on the loose! Today, that's me!

Ho, ho, ho...pucker up your lips and blow and Merry Christmas!!!

Find me and put me back on my shelf at:

Nothing Says Christmas Eve Like...Katherine Heigl

Happy 10th Anniversary!
Katherine Heigl & Josh Kelley

It's Christmas Eve and what else did you expect here at Entertain Me other than to be thrown a curve ball? 

A lot of you are most likely reading today's byline and are puzzled, annoyed or perhaps thinking WTF?! There are of course some of you not engaging in a volatile reaction regarding the divisive Ms. Heigl. Whatever your feelings are, that was the point of today's post, to mix them up this Holiday. 

Thus I bring you the image of Katherine and her husband of ten years singer Josh Kelley recreating one of their nude photos from days of yore. Ten years after all is a lifetime in Hollywood.

Katherine has sort of been on my mine of late as I stumbled across Unforgettable, a Fatal Attraction type movie she did with Rosario Dawson on an HBO free view that was given to me for whatever the F#ck reason. The movie was pretty forgettable, however I did think Heigl (and Dawson) were good.

Mic Drop! Have a great Christmas Eve!

PS Katherine, it looks like you have quit smoking, congrats!

Culture Club: Live @ Wembley

Do you really want to hurt them?

Rock Fuel Media is excited to announce the release of Live At Wembley from multi-Platinum and '80s icons CULTURE CLUB. A state-of-the-art DVD, Blu-Ray, and CD package, is out now via Cleopatra Records. The concert will be broadcast on TV in 2018, details of which will be announced soon. 

TRAILER: https://youtu.be/RF5tjfyZVvE.

 

For this very special hometown show, all four original band members-Boy George, Jon Moss, Roy Hay and Mikey Craig--reunited for one final show together at the historic Wembley Arena in London.

 

Boy George states:

"We were thrilled to be back home for the final show of such a highly successful reunion tour. Being able to document this show on film before our hometown fans, friends and family, with all the original members of the band, where it all began for us in London in 1981, makes this concert film release that much more special for our fans to enjoy for many years to come."

 

CULTURE CLUB returned home for the holidays in 2016 and performed live at Wembley Arena, after a hugely successful 60-city world tour. Featuring an explosive horn section and mind-blowing backup soul singers, the band ignites the stage before a sold-out crowd, as Boy George commands the catwalk with his masterful charm and smooth soulful voice, performing the band's biggest hits, including "Karma Chameleon," "It's A Miracle," "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me," "I'll Tumble 4 Ya," "Church Of The Poison Mind," and "Miss Me Blind." They close the show with a rousing cover of T. Rex's "Bang A Gong (Get It On)."

 

Live At Wembley showcases why CULTURE CLUB's unique pop, soul and reggae styles resonate with fans 35 years after the 1982 release of their  Kissing To Be Clever debut album. It was produced by award-winning producer, Barry Summers of Rock Fuel Media (Guns N' Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Jane's Addiction, VH1's Decades Rock Live Series) and directed by Mark Ritchie (Madonna, Kanye West, Jane's Addiction). Special Features include exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage with the band members as they discuss their illustrious career and the significance of this hometown iconic live performance.

All packages are available NOW at MVDshop.com, Amazon, and other fine retailers.
