Just Because, Jake Gyllenhaal

Dinner Is Served
Jake Gyllenhaal

As we are all getting our 2017 sea legs and aren't quite in the groove yet I thought to myself "Self why not run some man candy today" - while surfing the WWW I spied this pic of Jake Gyllenhaal in St. Barts looking edible.

That's how I roll, and so I am giving you Titty Tuesday realness, of the male variety.

It makes me want to dive in the pool, if you catch my drift....

Have a good one minions!

Red Carpet Ready, Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Red Carpet Ready? You Bet!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus 

Nothing, I mean nothing will top Meryl Streep's Golden Globe speech last night. I thought about running it today since it was in a word, amazing, but of course by now everyone has posted and re-posted it so I decided to go another direction.

Here without further hyperbole is my favorite Instagram post about the Golden Globes...Julia Louis-Dreyfus! Although she did not win this year for her HBO show Veep she's a winner in my book for this photo which she captioned: 

"About to hit the red carpet & feeling confident. @goldenglobes@veephbo @karenkawahara#goldenglobes"

Confident, obviously. Who other than JLD would have the chutzpah to post an image as funny/hot/cool as this I ask you???

"Take your broken heart, make it into art" - Meryl Streep quoting Carrie Fisher

Remember Your First Time? The Golden Globes

Do you remember your first time watching the Golden Globes? Hell maybe you've even attended them. For the record I have no recollection of when I popped my GG cherry. That being stated I know I have been watching them for what feels like forever, and I plan to, tonight. 

So I thought to myself what better way to celebrate them by running a few photos of some big name stars first time at the rodeo. Happy Globe Day!

Pretty In Polka Dots, Natalie Portman

Shopping From A-Z
Natalie Portman

Because it's award season, because she is earning raves for her performance as Jacqueline Kennedy, because she can rock a polka dot dress, because she's well, Natalie Portman for Taco Tuesday's sake!

Ms. Portman, Natalie if your nasty was snapped out and about very pregnant and shopping in Los Feliz, CA. See the bag in her hand that says Skylight? That is actually the name of an awesome book store nestled in among the many hipster shops and restaurants in this area of Los Angeles. 

Yes, I have been there, that's how I know.

This photo also serves me as a reminder that I have to see Natalie in Jackie, everyone I know says she is amazing in the film and the film itself isn't too shabby either. She is sure to nab a Best Actress Nomination come Oscar time. 

Happy Saturday Peeps and be proud of your polka dots!

It's time to countdown with Kiefer, you know you want to

You’ve seen him in the hit ABC series “Designated Survivor,” but Kiefer Sutherland continues to pursue his musical passion as he opens up on Great American Country’s Top 20 Countdown about his critically-acclaimed debut album DOWN IN A HOLE.

Sutherland sits down for an intimate discussion with host Suzanne Alexander about the inspiration behind DOWN IN A HOLE, a passion project chock-full of 11 co-written tracks.

Recently, Sutherland performed “Can’t Stay Away” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Calling Out Your Name” on “The View.” Sutherland also graced the cover of Guitar Aficionado, Goldmine Magazine and Collectible Guitar issues.

DOWN IN A HOLE was recently featured in People, Wall Street Journal, Billboard, Huffington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, Guitar Player, The Boot, Vice/Live Nation TV, Closer Weekly, US Weekly, Sounds Like Nashville, Nashville Country Club, Taste of Country, The Pickup, Paste, Bella Magazine, Celebrity Page, Consequence of Sound, Associated Press and more.

Reviewers are applauding Sutherland’s vocals, guitar licks and songwriting style:

“Kiefer Sutherland...slows down and unwinds on his debut album, a collection of 11 rough-edged country songs…The album has an unexpected, unvarnished authenticity that is pleasant, if sometimes familiar.”
-Jill Lawless, Associated Press

“The perfect soundtrack for your Americana, dive bar road trip, “All She Wrote” starts off with an intro that would sound right at home during the duel scene in a modern western. Sutherland’s gritty vocals overlap electric guitar and crashing drums…”
-Kat Harlton, Lithium Magazine

Michael's Musings

Hazy Shade Of Winter
Michael Shinafelt

We are a mere five days into 2017 and no celebrity deaths have occurred. Give it time it's still too soon after the three major ones at the end of 2016.

If only I could give you a juicy bone to gnaw on, but alas there is not too much to say at this premature stage of the NY. Give it some time, there is going to be plenty to rant about, love and be grateful for, soon. 

So here are my meager offerings as of now, drama free and without interruption.

Best thing about New Year's weekend? The Twilight Zone marathon on the SyFy Network. 

Mariah Carey really needs a reality check and to change her first name to Pariah.

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds on HBO. Can't wait!

Honestly, if you haven't seen Leah Remini exposing Scientology on her A&E docu-series you haven't lived. Cross my heart.

If you take quotes from Law & Order: SVU out of context, they are really quite funny.

Quote of the Week: "It makes me sad when anyone calls LGBTQ people perverts, because that means they don't know that straight people can have good sex too" - Faith Choyce, Comedian 

BTW the Golden Globes are this Sunday, in case you care. 

Vanderpump Rules
Not So Much Anymore

Is it me or is Vanerpump Rules really fucking staged this season. Transparently so, I have now dubbed the show A Gaggle Of Twats.

Just the other day I was "lucky" enough to board a subway car with a black gentleman bellowing to another how white people disrespect him all the time. Really? You mean you talking shit at the top of your lungs in a public place isn't disrespecting anyone???

Which reminds me I got an PM on Facebook the other day from someone chiding me for the use of #hastags - really. If that is your biggest issue in life go Fuck yourself.

Monkey Mat Mama's, why not I ask you?

"The Best Time of my Life is Now" - Marilyn Monroe

I will leave with the sage words of wisdom from the formidable Ms. Marilyn Monroe. Until next week, yeah, you know what's coming. Ciao!
