It's Christmas Eve, What Are You Doing?

Be Very, Very Quiet. I'm Hunting Toons!

For those of you not in the loop, my Birthday is exactly one week before Christmas, "Yes" it is December 18th, "Hi" I'm Michael Shinafelt and I'm a Sagittarius.

I turned 50 this year. Yeah, I am a half a century old and still kicking ass! So how I am celebrating this evening?

Continuing my well earned status as a survivor of Generation X by celebrating my Birthday even more. It started last week with an awesome excursion to Disneyland courtesy of Rhonda Bernstein. With co-stars Eric Bernstein & Angela Simone.

Seguing into the actual date with my BFF Brittney Alexander at the legendary El Coyote. The place where famed Hollywood starlet Sharon Tate had her last meal.

And so it continues into Christmas Eve with Scott Jacobs. Featuring Wine & Cheese and Frivolous Fuckery!

Shout out to Erik Rimmer!

Simply having a wonderful Holiday Season!

Santa Bieber

Come Justin, Sit On Santa's Lap

"Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue;
I'll wait up for you, dear; Santa baby,So hurry down the chimney tonight." - Eartha Kitt 

Looks like Justin Bieber just won the most rad celebrity selfie of the Christmas Season contest. Yeah, there's a contest, it's unofficial, but it's out there, it's called Social Media numbers. 

Seems the Bieber hit Toronto's high end Yorkdale Shopping Center. When what to his wandering eyes did appear? But Yorkdale Fashion Santa."Yes" they have their own personal Santa in the form of a handsome model who has a snowy white beard named Paul Mason.

Daddy and Boy posed for a photograph that, well suffice it to say is pretty hot!
Yorkdale posted it on their Instagram account with the caption:

"It's true! Celebs shop at #Yorkdale! Can you #beliebe it?! @justinbieber + #YorkdaleFashionSanta #YorkdaleCheer"

All joking aside, The Bieber is just one of many Canadian shoppers to pose with the hip hometown hero. Yorkdale Mall has pledged to donate $1 for every selfie with Fashion Santa using the hashtag #YorkdaleFashionSanta to charity. 

Justin's stocking is going to be nice and stuffed this year!

Santa's Little Helper, Clea Cutthroat

As we all know, Santa has many little "helpers." However it's hard to really name one because they have always taken the backdoor position all these years to the man in the flashy red suit.

Well fate is a mysterious thing and I happen to know one of those "helpers" who tells Santa what to gift celebrities. "Yes" this is like a version of The National Enquirer except we are dishing on secrets from behind the Christmas "bear," I mean "beard."

Burlesque Beotch, Berlin's Clea Cutthroat is here to dish on what she has told Santa to get for the following ten celebrities. That's right Clea is here to judge whether they have been naughty or nice!

How does she rate you ask? You'd have to ask Santa that...Ho Ho Ho!

Margaret Cho, The Girl With The Drag Queen Tattoos

Margaret Cho

What to get a badass lady like Margaret Cho?

I want to give her something golden, some jewels.

I know! A golden pussy lipstick case, with ruby labia lips latch. I would also make her lipsticks in her favorite colors, and the tubes would be little golden cocks. Everything would be monogramed with “MC”. That would be fierce!!!!! Hmmmm…maybe, I need to make one for myself too!

Take Imodium!
Donald Trump

Donald Trump.

I can think of a lot of things to give him, but none of them are nice.

But hate doesn’t kill hate right? Awareness and compassion are so much more powerful. Wait! I got it! I would give Donald Trump a six-month intensive with a life coach- Bernie Sanders! If anyone can get into that brain…Bernie can!

I think I believe in Bernie more than Santa Claus.

But, out of fairness to Bernie, Santa needs to give him a BIG present, every day, for the rest of his life in repayment, lol.

Hair!
Jared Leto

Jared Leto
A brush? A mirror? All I can think of is his hair, lol.

Come Up & See Me Sometime, Clea
Madonna 

Madonna
Madonna…Madonna…how I adore thee. I mean, what do you get the woman you have tattooed on your arm?!

I think I would get Madonna 8 Sexy Santa-ettes, 7 sexy elves, 6 bondage-clad reindeer, 5 stocking full of sex toys, 4 leather daddies to massage her, 3 hot girls in tuxedos to serve her champagne and lobster, 2 pairs of jingle balls (cough cough), and 1 Clea Cutthroat.

Saint Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox

Laverne has done so much, I have the urge to give back to her, and give her a day of pampering.

I’d get her a week holiday at a spa resort on the beach. Facials (no pun intended), manicures, pedicures, massages, drinks, sun…fun.

She deserves it!

The Art Of The Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese
Dita seems like a hot, cool, funny chick to me.

I would like to get her something fun!

I think I would get her the twerking butt sex machine. I would cover it in Swarovski’s just for her. I think it even comes with a remote control…total party win! Would look great on her bed, mounted on the wall…on the kitchen top, kitchen table…bathtub! It’s a real personality piece, and it’s a gift that just keeps on giving…and giving. I believe it’s a must have. I’m just drumming my fingers on the computer here waiting for it to appear on “Oprah’s favorite things” list.

Charlie Sheen
Which Partridge? Laurie?

Charlie Sheen
Oh Charlie. A lawyer? ….and a partridge in a pear tree…

Hey Elizabeth, It's Flu Season!

Elizabeth Berkley
I would take Elizabeth out to get manicures like in Showgirls. Then a dress from Versace, and then when she is rolling her eyes at me (because people probably do this all the time) I would throw my arm around her, laugh, and say, “Come on girl, we’re gonna make it rain on some strippers!”

…and then a limo would pick us up and we would go to the Cheetah in Las Vegas.

Yeah…basically, it’s more about me living out my Showgirls movie fantasy. But, isn’t Christmas about giving, not receiving? ; )

I Take After My Dad
Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber
A gift certificate for a new tattoo? Hair gel? A long walk on the beach? Some understanding? A shoulder to cry on? A slap in the face? A boot to lick?

Maybe I would get him a session with a Dominatrix. I think that would pretty much tie all his needs up in a little red….rope ; )

Caught! Practicing On A Cheeto
Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian
Hmmm…Kim is a tough one. But, given the holiday spirit, and we need to put our differences aside (unless you are Donald Trump). I think I would take Kim out to a Drag Bar to get wasted! Poor thing probably needs a break from Kayne, right?

Maybe after a few martinis I can get her to spit some blood, rip off her couture and stage dive into the arms of drag queens! How awesome would that be?!?!

You are welcome! ; )
Ho Ho Ho!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Actress & Breastfeeding Pixie, Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano
Who Wears Short Hair? I Wear Short Hair!

Happy 43rd Birthday to Alyssa Milano ! Alyssa has been one of my grrrrrrl crushes since Charmed, no not Who's The Boss, I like my women legal. 

One of the things I adore about her, is not only her special brand of pretty & accessible. But she is also down to earth and no nonsense. If she believes in something she is not one to trifle with. For example her recent middle finger wave to those who criticized her for breastfeeding in front of others. Hello?! She spends hours in a make-up chair, what is she supposed to do, starve her child?!

So what does one do for your 43rd Birthday when you have it all? Why go pixie or go home! Yes Alyssa took to her Instagram page with her latest version of the pixie look.

About twelve years ago she wore a short do on Charmed. She captioned the image with the following: "Short hair don't care"

Of course her followers went wild pontificating:

"Season 6 Phoebe is back!" one person said.

The late great Elizabeth Taylor also made the mix.

"Remind me of Elizabeth Taylor," a fan wrote.

"You look like Elizabeth Taylor beautiful," said another.

Love you Alyssa missing you on Mistresses!

Encore! Encore! Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors"

Dolly Parton Wishes You a Merry Christmas!

TV Movie Will Air Once More December 25 9/8c

Snuggle up with your favorite coat and watch! 

Less than a week after 15.6 million viewers watched “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors,” NBC is giving families another chance to watch the TV movie with an encore special presentation Christmas Day at 9/8c.

I'm so blessed and thankful for everyone who watched and I hope this story reaches many, many more when NBC shows it Christmas night," said Parton. “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” ranks as the most-watched film on the four broadcast networks in more than six years with 13 million viewers during the initial Dec. 10 broadcast, and Nielsen live +3 nudging the total up by 2.5 million to an overall 15.6 million, plus a 27% hike that nudged the 18-49 demo from a 1.8 to 2.3. L+3 ratings measure live viewing plus DVR viewing up to three days later. The film is set in the Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains in 1955. It is neither a biopic nor musical about Parton’s whole life and performing career, but rather a family-oriented faith-based story about the incidents in her and her family’s life around the time she was 9 years old. “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” is the first in a planned series of TV movies inspired by the country music icon’s songs. The TV movie is available to watch now on NBC.com, NBC apps and Set-Top Box On Demand. # # # WATCH NOW: www.nbc.com/coat-of-many-colors/video/dolly-partons-coat-of-many-colors/2948111 RECOMMENDED TWEET: .@nbc to re-air @DollyParton's #CoatofManyColors Dec. 25 9/8c after incredible ratings success - LINK   For more information on Dolly Parton, visit: www.dollypartonentertainment.com Facebook: Facebook.com/DollyParton Instagram: Instagram.com/DollyParton Twitter: Twitter.com/DollyParton Tumblr: OfficialDollyParton.tumblr.com Google+: Plus.Google.com/+DollyParton
