It's Not A Bird, There Is A Plane, It's Chris Pratt!

Pssssssst! Did you hear? Chris Pratt has a new sci-fi film coming out co-starring Jennifer Lawrence called Passengers that opens December 21st, just in time for Christmas!

OK, now that's out of the way here is an image of Pratt going all Vogue and striking a pose next a jet at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego.

I love an attractive man with a who can make me laugh, and Pratt checks those two boxes off very nicely. 

There's really not much else to expand on here other than, this image is something to behold on many levels. So take what you want from it and enjoy your Tuesday!

Double Ryan's, Double The Fun!

Three Way?
Ryan Reynolds & Ryan Gosling

Once upon a time there were two hunky actors name Ryan. One with the last name of Reynolds, the other Gosling. They collided in one truly lust inducing moment at the Critic's Choice Awards held in Santa Monica, CA. 

Reynolds being nominated for Deadpool and Gosling for La La Land. This satiated the fantasy of a menage for many women & gay men.

Personally I would not kick either of them to the curb. But if I had to pick one, just one, I would go with the Ryan named Gosling. Yep, I tend to like my guys a little more edgy, and Gosling has that in abundance.

Of note Reynolds won for Best Actor in a Comedy for Deadpool, while my my boy Gosling did not for La La Land. Yep, Reynolds whipped Gosling's butt in the competition. 

Hey, I don't judge the object of my personal lust on such things. Gosling I am still here for you if you ever need me, I've got your back!

Reality Bites

Memories
Winona Ryder & Ethan Hawke

Alright who out there remembers when the movie Reality Bites came out? Me, me, me, me, I do!

That is correct if you remember this time and place like myself, then you too are old. Yay! 

Now that we've established that. Today's piece of feel good nostalgia, a photo of it's stars Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke who played love interests Troy & Lelaina in it, is for your creaky old booty.

Hey it made me smile to see the two of them reunited at the screening of Born To Be Blue in NYC. 

It really is the simple things. 

Well I am sitting here at my keyboard with my morning fruit and Tejava tea gearing up for another Sunday spin class this ayem (get it gearing up?!) at Gold's Gym Hollywood, I may be old, but I still have buns of steel.

Have a good one!

Saturday Schwing! Josh Brolin

Solid As A Rock
Josh Brolin

Oh Josh, your booty's so fine, your booty's so fine, it blows my mind, hey Josh...!!!

This is the second time Josh Brolin has made Entertain Me's weekend schwing. Why? Because I am an ass man, an ass connoisseur an ass...fill in that blank.

Brolin has one of the more delectable ones and is quite fond of getting naked and baring it. This time in support of Standing Rock.

Asses and pipelines, the connection is real. Yes Joshie Boy  decided to celebrate the tribe's victory in blocking the Dakota Access pipeline from messing with their land, by baring his supple butt and worked out body.

Victory deserves a bold statement! Thanks Josh may your ass forever get behind justice, in other words keep it up dude!

Immortal: Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone

We're Immortal!
Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling

OK, it's not very often I get to the movies, nor is it often I anticipate one either. Well hold onto your nether regions I can't wait to see the Hollywood themed musical La La Land. For sure I will be paying for an overpriced ticket and reserved seating at a gargantuan multiplex to view this.

To publicize the release of the film, it's stars, Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone, two of my favorites, became immortal this past Wednesday by putting their hand prints in cement at the world famous TLC Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Wow, how cool is that?!

Congrats on the honor you two and on all the accolades La La Land has been receiving.

T.G.I.F - see you at the movies!!! Hit the trailer after the jump!

Michael's Musings

The Rock Star & The Nerd
Starring:
Taylor Momsen & Michael Shinafelt

This past week I had the pleasure of seeing a live show by The Pretty Reckless, courtesy of my friend and awesome publicist Ken Phillips at The Mayan in Los Angeles.

What word would I use to describe the performance? WOW! Front woman Taylor Momsen (former star of Gossip Girl) will make you forget she started out as an actress. She was born to rock!

Enough of the hyperbole, let's kick it!

Has anyone out there ever had a lawsuit over frozen embryos other than Sofia Vergara?

I had a colonoscopy in Los Angeles. You should have one too if you live anywhere else and are due. Don't put it off. PS - I passed with flying colors and gas.

Confession. The Pretty Reckless show is the first time I had Jack Daniels & Diet Coke as a complimentary drink in a long time. I chose it because the show was late and I knew it would keep me awake.

Addendum to the above confession. After I got home from the awesome show and wound down, I had a dream I was doing drugs with Miley Cyrus. See how long it's been since I drank "liquid crack" which is my pet name for it.

Ken Phillips gave me a really groovy Margaret Cho hoodie for my Birthday. It's December 18th mark your calendars.

I have the biggest crush on someone.

A shout out to fellow writer Selena Fragassi who I met at the TPR show. Welcome to Los Angeles!

Quote of the Week: "Kinda how actors study & train & devote their lives to their craft only to be replaced by reality stars must be how career politicians feel" - Tara Strong Voice Over Artist 

Check out the funny as f@#k parody - by my friend E.G. Daily & her partner in crime Melinda Hill Melanoma & Bulimia, Melania Trump's cousins here :

Looks like Boy George is going to be a presence on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this season. You thought Lisa Vanderpump was a sniper from the side, just you wait!

I asked a security guard to fasten my wristband on me for The Pretty Reckless show instead of doing it myself. I told him I was mentally challenged, he laughed.(glad there are people out there who still have a sense of humor)

Can we all just be honest BTW. Unless a miracle happens, we are going to make history, "yes" for the first time ever we are going to have a sex worker as first lady. While I have nothing against sex workers, I do have a thing against hypocrisy.

This weeks Birthday Girl is on a roll with her fourth Grammy Nomination. Will number four be the charm? Even if Margaret doesn't strike gold, she's still winning! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Emmy nominated comedian Margaret Cho has been nominated for her fourth career Grammy nomination in the Best Comedy Album category today for her latest studio album, American Myth.   American Myth  is the follow-up to her 2010 Grammy nominated debut album Cho Dependent and is Margaret’s first new music in over 6 years via her Clownery Records label.  To order click here: http://margaretcho.com/shop/american-myth/ .  

I'm thrilled to receive this nomination and I share this honor with Garrison Starr and Roger Rocha and all the other artists who contributed to this album. Also it's going to be a blast to be on the red carpet reporting on all the fashions first hand as an undercover (sort of) officer for Fashion Police! – Margaret Cho

You can view all four videos off the album below; “Anna Nicole,” “Ron’s Got a DUI,” “Fat Pussy” and the controversial “(I Want To) Kill My Rapist.”   

“Anna Nicole” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-acvUDqEEE

“Ron’s Got a DUI” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIrvFK955KY

“Fat Pussy” – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zHNwJoGwlA

“(I Want To) Kill My Rapist” -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TXCmkhr-nE

 “I am extremely proud to release American Myth. This is an album of anthems and showcases my first efforts as a composer. I made it with my longtime collaborator Garrison Starr and an incredible and inspiring crew of artists. It is my glamorous and glittering tribute to family, comedy, anger, fame, gayness, grief, fat pride, love and hate. “ – Margaret Cho

Margaret returns to tv as special co-host on “Fashion Police” on E! Monday, January 9 at 8 p ET/PT with coverage of the Golden Globe Awards and and will also continue to tour with her ever evolving stand-up comedy show throughout 2016 and 2017.  She will continue to tackle difficult subjects with sensitivity and razor sharp insight. A pioneer amongst women in comedy, Margaret doesn’t take anything for granted. 

“It’s a wonderful thing to be known as a ‘safe haven’ for people who feel disenfranchised. The audience at my shows don’t necessarily consider themselves traditional comedy fans. I seem to be a secure alternative for people who don’t think they’re being represented in society. They come because my point of view satisfies a lot of what needs to be said out there, and that makes me really proud.”
