Turn Back Time, With Cher

Turn Back Time,
Please Cher

Tomorrow daylight savings time ends. Yeah, I know, don't you hate that? This year instead of riding on a bummer about it, I decided to make it a fun little party of sorts.

How you may ask? How about we turn back time with ten quotes from Singer/Academy Award winning actress of the song about past regret, Cher!

Isn't this much more entertaining than being annoyed with it like most of us usually are?

Happy Saturday before the end of time!

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great. 

Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what they're doing is right.

I've always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me. 

I am never offended when I see the drag-queens dressed up like me. 

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him. 

If you're black in this country, if you're a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican? 

Anyone who's a great kisser I'm always interested in. 

I keep coming back because I have no place else to go. What else would I do? I love to sing. 

People are negative no matter what you do. 

I'm amusing and crazy on Twitter. I talk about important things, stupid things.

Cyndi Lauper & Friends

Let's get charitable...

Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund (www.truecolorsfund.org) announced the lineup for its 6th annual “Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays” benefit concert on Saturday, December 3 at New York City’s historic Beacon Theatre to raise awareness about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth homelessness. 100 percent of the net proceeds from the concert will support the True Colors Fund’s programs.

Cyndi Lauper will be joined on stage this year by Aloe Blacc, Ballets with a Twist, Big Thief, Billy Corgan, Grace VanderWaal, Judy Gold, Kate Bornstein, Maya Jupiter, Oxymorrons, Sara Ramirez, Sharon Van Etten, Theresa Caputo, Tyler Glenn, and host Carson Kressley. Additional guests will be announced soon. Tickets are available to the general public at Ticketmaster.com.

“For the sixth year, ‘Home for the Holidays’ will bring together an incredible group of performers to support the True Colors Fund’s work to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth," said Lauper, the organization’s co-founder. “Our voices are stronger when we say something together. I’m so grateful to the artists, who are donating their time and talent to bring attention to this very important cause.”

In America, up to 40 percent of the 1.6 million youth that are homeless each year identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Yet, less than seven percent of the general youth population is LGBT. The most cited reason for this disproportionate rate is family rejection due to the young person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, the True Colors Fund works nationally to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth. Through a broad continuum of public engagement, public policy, youth collaboration, research, and community organizing programs, the True Colors Fund is creating a world in which young people can be their true selves.

Some highlights of the True Colors Fund’s work this year include:
 

• Hosting the second annual #40toNoneDay, a national day to raise awareness about LGBT youth homelessness, which reached over 98 million people online.
• Partnering with The White House to conduct a Policy Briefing on Youth Homelessness to help prioritize the needs of youth experiencing homelessness within the Federal Government.
• Launching the National Youth Forum on Homelessness, a youth-led project focused on ending youth homelessness in America, in partnership with the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
• Releasing At the Intersections, the most comprehensive resource on LGBT youth homelessness, in partnership with the National LGBTQ Task Force.
• Holding the third annual sold out 40 to None Summit, the only national annual gathering focused on innovative solutions to end LGBT youth homelessness in America.
• Training it's second class of True Fellows, young LGBT leaders with experiences of homelessness, who conduct six-month service projects in their communities.
• Releasing its second annual 40 of the 40 list, which highlights 40 LGBT young people who have experiences with homelessness and provides them with opportunities to engage in the organization’s work.
• Providing free tools, resources, and training through its 40 to None Network for service providers and communities around the country to aid them in providing safe, inclusive, and welcoming support to LGBT youth experiencing homelessness.

“Home for the Holidays” is proud to have the support of: Platinum Sponsors Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Van Gogh Vodka; Gold Sponsors The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. and Jujamcyn Theaters; Silver Sponsors Kinky Boots, The Madison Square Garden Company, Masie Productions, Reveal, Stifel, and Keith Bell, Licensed Acupuncturist.

Michael's Musings

It's Better With A Leather Jacket
Michael Shinafelt

As everyone knows this past Monday was Halloween. I attended the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival and had a blast!

Too bad it's over, time to move on, here are my latest thoughts and opinions...


E-mails, E-mails, E-mails are the new Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

Random Rumblings, a man yelled out: "I won the wet T-shirt contest, motherf#ckers!" the other day while I was walking down the street. You go boy, follow that dream!

Personally I love Lady Gaga's latest Joanne. There I said it.

I can't wait to see who the sole survivor is on this seasons American Horror Story.

Scariest thing this past Halloween? I kept getting notifications via Facebook on my phone about who from my friends list was in West Hollywood at the carnival too!!!

Who'd you rather, Jon Hamm or Matt Bomer?

I have a psychic prediction. All of you have semen in your family. 

New season of Vanderpump Rules starts Monday. I have no rational or intelligent explanation as to why I like this show. Discuss. 

My bad, I was trying to sacrifice you to Satan.

I could have lived my whole life without hearing "I Will Always Love You" karaoke style. Ugh!

I recently joined Instagram, follow me there or on Twitter. Do what your Rice Krispies tell you to damn it!

It's A Wrap: Pretty Little Liars

So Long, Farewell...
Shay Mitchell

After 7 years the party will be over when Pretty Little Liars premieres it's last and final season in April 2017.

The show recently wrapped production on said season and actress Shay Mitchell, who portrays Emily Fields, poured her heart out in a farewell video. Describing her experience on the show as the best seven years of her life 

Big girls don't cry, Shay. I am so kidding. As a PLL fan I am going to be sorry to see the show go, yet I feel like the time has come for it to end while it is still on top and not being dragged into the ground. 

What will I miss most? The characters, the sharp writing & good acting that truly elevated "popcorn" entertainment to a level that was actually relevant.

The "Liars" will be greatly missed when PLL reaches it's finale episode. For Ms. Mitchell that has already happened. Pretty Little Liars fans, like me, check out her heartfelt goodbye below.

When Michael Met Michael

So here I am typing this morning after straggling in around 12:30 am last night from the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival. Was it fun you ask? Well I did get to meet my horror idol icon Michael Myers, and get strangled by him as you can see. So what more could a horror geek ask???

My friends Scott, Kent and I came, we saw, we made scary, not merry, yeah now that crap starts and it's still over a month away. 

Personally, and I know I say this every year, but it really applies to this one in partick, I can't believe we have hit November and then December and the year is over!

Enjoy your first day of the new month, baby it's starting to get cooler outside, hey I live in Los Angeles, cold would be an oxymoron.

The Horror: John Carpenter's Halloween

Happy Halloween Peeps! Hope all of you have something groovy planned to celebrate the coolest day of the year! 

I personally love Halloween and am a huge horror movie fan, and those of you who know me, or have been paying attention, you know my favorite horror film of all time is John Carpenter's Halloween.

When it came out I was too young to attend an R-rated film by myself, so my Dad took me and some friends. It the first of many horror flicks I would go on to see in a theater. 

Can I tell you? This is the only movie of it's type that truly got under my skin and scared the shit outta me! We lived in the suburbs at the time and were surrounded by lots of trees and land and when my parents were gone and I was home alone I used to psyche myself out and see Michael Myer's ghoulish white William Shatner ass mask looming for me in the dark. Yeah, I had a really vivid imagination, still do actually. 

So how else did you think I was going to celebrate this most holy of days here on Entertain Me? With a montage of images from the film that freaked me out the most, naturally. To this day even though I am less afraid while watching Halloween, there is still something about it that really unnerves me. Beware of the Boogeyman tonight!!!

Peek-A-Boo, I See You

Watch Out Jamie Lee!!!
