Choose Love

Husbands
Michael Turchin & Lance Bass

With all the uncertainty and chaos in the world, when I spied this photo of Lance Bass and husband Michael Turchin I couldn't help but smile.

Lance & Michael are getting in the spirit for a good cause, releasing a T-Shirt to support "(RED)’s fight to end AIDS"  and to honor his friend George Michael’s "love of life and celebrate the reissue of Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1."

"Yes" these "Choose Love" T-Shirts gave me the feels for the 80's again. With that confession out of the way, the simple power of the message is one we should all rise to this Holiday season. Hey why not all year round while were at it.

Everyday we wake-up we have a choice. I think we should all make that to "Choose Love" it's simple to give, doesn't cost a thing and will mean the world to those who receive it.

Werd!

"Yes" I know today's byline is the name of Gwen Stefani's Holiday CD. It seems so fitting for this photo op she took witth Ed Sheeran, I mean the Gingerbread Man at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA.

Seriously what could give a Christmas vibe more than Gwen dressed as a Christmas ornament, standing next to a Christmas tree with a man that's good enough to eat I ask you? Uh-huh, that's what I thought, nothing.

Have a Sweet Saturday, only 16 more days until the Big C!

Michael's Musings

Pure Energy
Michael Shinafelt

Today my thoughts and well wishes are with the victims of the fires in Los Angeles. "Yes" the City of Angels is under siege by massive fires. Many people have lost their homes, it is heartbreaking. When the amazing firefighters get everything under control, the saddest part is that all roads lead to arson with regard to this tragedy. Trust me.

OK, I will veer from going down the stony end and try to be my usual provocateur self. Oh wait I already have done that. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, or can you??? Onto less weighty subjects.

Don't let anyone with bad eyebrows tell you shit about life

They recast Kevin Spacey in "All the Money in the World" couldn't they do the same with Mark Wahlberg while they were at it?

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain" - James A. Baldwin

It's all make believe

I find Will Ferrell the movie equivalent of a colonoscopy 

I recently lost 22 lbs and counting. My landlord gave me a bag of assorted Ghirardelli chocolates. The neighborhood homeless man now has diabetes.

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset

Scrambled Eggs, that is all

Back Off!

He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. Sounds like perv spirit!

How about Time and their Person of the Year?

Fact: Depeche Mode sells more music than Bruno Mars and all his number one hits. This gives me hope for the future.

Eighteen days and counting until the Big C!

If The Tiara Fits

You Can Call Me Queen K...
Kate Middleton 

I think my friend Shani Bayne is wearing off on me. I have never been a huge Royal watcher, but thanks to her Royal loving ways I am now paying more attention to the goings on over the pond. Yeah, I admit it, I am looking forward to Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's televised wedding.

With that cat out of the bag, I always did love Princess Diana. She took the Royal thing to a whole new level. She was accessible, kind, philanthropic, she gave not only of her money, but of her time and the greatest gift you can give anyone, her love.

So my interest in Kate Middleton donning one of Diana's favorite tiaras, The Cambridge Lover's Knot to a diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace, is most likely about what a lovely tribute it was to one of the most beloved women in history. 

"Yes" and my heightened awareness of the Royal Family due to Shani, damn you woman!

Ho, I'll Tell You What I Want...

Come To Santa...
James Corden

"I wanna, really, really, really wanna zigazig ah" - Wannabe, Spice Girls 

Perhaps this is what The Late Late Show host the adorable James Corden whispered into Santa's ear that he wanted for Christmas during KIIS FM's Jingle Ball Concert.

That and more carpool karaoke anyone? Of course you want more! 

All kidding aside I would really like to know what transpired between Mr. Claus & Mr. Corden. They would be better off telling me because if I fill in the blank it could become quite scandalous when it was pretty innocuous to begin with.

I've got Jingle Bottom my trusty Christmas spy hot on the trail to find out for all of you, and moi, and when I do I will spill right here, right now on the pages of Entertain Me, until then shake your booty if you want a white Christmas! 

Ciao for now! Me and Jingle Bottom have werk to do!

Zac Attack!

Packing Large
Zac Efron

Having been sick this past week and finally seeing the end of it draw nigh this past Friday, I haven't really been shall we say, randy, of late. Well this morning upon waking I had a Zac Attack! "Yes" that is correct, I realized that it has been a spell since I had posted a pic my Boy Zac Efron!

Look it's Boy Zac packing large (I would expect nothing less from my one of my boys) at Heathrow Airport in London. Pack, Zac, Pack!

As many of are aware by now Zac is starring in the musical base on the life of PT Barnum called The Greatest Showman alongside Daddy Hugh Jackman. It is set to drop on December 20th. 

Well, even though I am not a huge musical fan, Zac will most likely coax my booty into a movie theater seat with this one. Hey the Boy magic worked and got me to a theater, oh alright is was a free screening on the Sony lot, of Baywatch, Yeah, yeah, yeah I know...Hey, it was mindless and fun and, ooooops, sorry I had a shirtless Boy Zac moment.

It's Monday, and aren't you happy?!
