Kiefer Sutherland On Death Row

Dear "Shirley Jean"
Kiefer Sutherland

Shirley you jest?

Kiefer Sutherland’s cinematic “Shirley Jean” video, which tells the story of a man's last night on death row, taking the form of a goodbye letter to a woman he once loved, premiered on CMT channels and platforms June 21.

"It was the one song on the album that obviously was not a very personal story from my own life," Sutherland tells Rolling Stone Country. "I had a huge respect for Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard. These guys wrote about the dirtier side of life and the tougher aspects of life. Cash realized he wasn't a ‘bad guy,’ and that maybe some of these people in prison aren’t 'bad guys.' He gave them a kind of dignity that I really respected. He created an avenue of forgiveness that I don't think was as available at that time. I love the way he did that. So I really wanted to write a song about that."

“Shirley Jean” is the third video releases from his debut album DOWN IN A HOLE (click here to download).

Sutherland is currently in Europe playing sold out shows after a nationwide U.S. tour in May. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets to additional dates on sale now (tour dates below).

Recently, Sutherland performed “Calling Out Your Name” on “The Talk,” and has also performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The View.”  Sutherland also graced the cover of Guitar Aficionado, Goldmine Magazine and Collectible Guitar issues.

Sutherland, known for his starring role in the ABC series “Designated Survivor” and Fox series "24," also starred in movies like “Stand By Me,” “The Lost Boys,” “Young Guns,” “Flatliners,” “A Few Good Men,” “A Time to Kill,” “Dark City” “Melancholia” and most recently, a western called “Forsaken.”

Michael's Musings

Resting Beach Face
Michael Shinafelt

"Summertime, and the livin' is easy" - Ella Fitzgerald 

In case you didn't register, Summer officially began yesterday. Yes minions it's on! Which of course made me think of the song Summertime, sung by Ella Fitzgerald. However my first exposure to it was the cover by Janis Joplin. 

For the longest time I thought Joplin to be the originator of the seasonal song, obviously I thought wrong.

Que sera sera - Move Over and Let's Get This Party Started!

Free the disabled hyenas 

Good things come in pink boxes, or is that cum?

This week on Pretty Little Liars - We all found out who killed Charlotte...it was Mona. OK we all saw that one coming, but the way the whole life event went down was a doozy!

Attack of the 50 foot Granola Lesbian, the threat is real

Think of me when you use body lotion

There's a scandalous book coming out about the group Van Halen that has, what else? Sex, drugs & rock-n-roll. One the band members actually hallucinated giant penises coming out of the wall. That's hot!

Summertime & Zac Efron Is...

Hanging Loose
Zac Efron

It's finally here, today is the first official day of Summer 2017! One of my fave things about the summer is guys going commando and freeballing. Thus when I saw these images of my boy Zac Efron with VPL under his sweats I stopped and stared, then stared some more.

Yes, minions it's summertime & Zac Efron is freeballing! 

My gift to you, because of the giver I am for the first day of summer is  Zac Efron with quite the view.

Stay cool today men and be hot like Zac and release your Kraken too!

Let Them Eat Cake!

Surrender The Pink
Lisa Vanderpump

"The crown is heavy, darlings, so just leave it where it belongs" - Lisa Vanderpump

As we all know celebrities do everything bigger than us mere mortals. Lisa Vanderpump is no exception. Check out her decadent Birthday cake, fit, well, for a  Queen. Lisa wears her crown well,

Frosted to the max in her favorite color, pink, duh. Adorned by two giant and I might add, ahem, quite thick sparklers...(wink, nudge) Lisa must be feeling her inner Marie Antoinette at her 56th celebration of her date of birth.

As an added bonus the staff and people dining at Pump where the Queen was presented her cake all sang HBD to her.

Yep, leave the crown where it is people, because nobody wears it better.

Monday Motivation

They Are Some Motivation!
l-r
Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston & Zac Efron

Since I have lost ten pounds, I have hit a plateau that the struggle is real to cross it. I have yet to lose more, and trust me I need to!

This is the week I am going to do it, I can and will. What better way for me to keep my goals in mind than posting not one, but three yummy shirtless celebrities. Hey, it's better in threes.

I would like to thank these studs for their service in motivating me this week: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and of course my boy Zac Efron. 

While I am realistic and know I will never look as cut as any of these dudes, I merely want the motivation to look my personal best. A trimmer me who can wear my fun clothes again, meaning my more fashion forward things in my closet that don't compliment a belly.

Something that is completely achievable if I stick to the script.

Happy Monday, get motivated!

Who's Your Daddy?

Call Me Daddy
Michael Shinafelt

Happy Father's Day Everyone! 

I was not really sure what to write about today since my father passed away from cancer quite a spell ago. 

Something a little cheeky perhaps, yeah I am sort of feeling that way thus the byline and accompanying image. Mixed with something a little reverent, yep, that's where this next part comes in.

F#ck Cancer! Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. It has touched so many people's lives that I know, including mine, and is a hateful disease. It shows no mercy and leaves the host ravaged.

Sometimes it's a slow painful death in the case of my Father and other times it's quick and painful. Either way it's merciless.

Currently I can name off a few people who I know it is working it's voodoo on and I hope they beat it. This shit deserves to be put in it's f#cking place!

Me & My Dad

So, I am taking Father's Day and dedicating it to the memory of mine, Bill Shinafelt February 23, 2009 who passed away from lung cancer.
