How Rude! Spice Girls

Heeeeeyyyyyyyyy...
It's the Spice Girls
I have a confession. Although a child of the era that gave birth to the cultural phenom known as the Spice Girls, I was never really a fan. Still not. Yet they do hold a fascination for me because of the strange hold they have on others of that era. Got it?!

Well the SG's 20th Anniversary is approaching and like most groups do these days from a certain time and place, the burning question is, will they reunite?

Recently the Scariest Spice of them all, one Ms. Mel B (don't you just effen love her accent?!) Chimed in:

While appearing on the UK television special Alan Carr's New Year's Spectacular ( I am guessing it's like Dick Clark, the name lives!)Mel B was asked about the group's 20th anniversary approaching sooner rather than later. 
"To be serious, it is our twentieth anniversary this year and it would be rude not to celebrate."

You go Mel B! Stop the rudeness! There are plenty of fans counting on this, even as non-fan I wanna re-capture my youth as much as the next person.
Of course Ms. Cheeky threw this in for good measure: "So hopefully something will be happening pretty soon…I can't tell you what it is yet."

In media speak, this is a confirmation. Honestly four is a group five is a gang bang.

Naked In 5 Seconds

5 Seconds Of Summer
Naked, But Not Afraid
It's naked boy band time! 5 Seconds Of Summer gets naked for the latest cover of Rolling Stone.

Honestly I have no clue who these guys are, but a PR stunt like this always catches ones attention.

Captured by photographer Martin Schoeller the boys, Calum HoodLuke HemmingsAshton Irwin, and Michael Clifford are butt naked. Hands over their nether regions, which from the looks of it we should all be thankful for.
But, that is not what will have their minions burning up social media. Even though they say they are first and foremost a band who makes music for their fans...
It's what they did on tour with their covered junk that will have them buzzing. Hood admits he "got a bit reckless" when he first started receiving attention from girls. Hemmings added, "When you put four young dudes on a tour bus, playing theaters, then arenas, you're going to have sex with a lot of girls, I guess. We had a good time."

There you have it! You know how the saying goes: Boys will be boys. Would you expect anything more?

Hey, it only takes "5 Seconds" at:

It's OK To Go Pink After Christmas
They say you aren't supposed to wear white after Labor Day. But the day after Christmas Pink is the perfect way to move on from 2015's holiday celebration.

Ponyboy: "Nobody Wants To Die On Christmas, Unless They Have To"

Ponyboy: Whose Package Is Bigger?
l-r Charles McVey & David Zey
Merry Christmas Peeps! I could not pass up the Holiday Season without posting one of my favorite modern Christmas songs by art fag alternative rock group Ponyboy.

This writer is a  HUGE Ponyboy fan and I have promoted them heavily here on Entertain Me. The group consists of two brilliant musicians/artists/raconteurs Charles McVey and David Zey. Their music is unapologetic, edgy and brutally honest.

"I'm Gonna Kill Myself On Christmas"  addresses the issue of LGBTQ suicides around the "happiest time of the year." While satirical in it's approach the underlying message is loud and clear.

Christmas is not only about giving and family. It's about being thankful. Please take the time to be grateful and give thanks to the universe for what you have and to realize there are others out there who are in pain.

If you are one of those people who is hurting please reach out to others for help. Trust me it's out there and people are willing if you ask.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Enjoy the video after the jump!

It's Christmas Eve, What Are You Doing?

Be Very, Very Quiet. I'm Hunting Toons!
Photo: Rhonda Bernstein 
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 ! Can you it?! @justinbieber + 😍🎅 "

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!
