Michael's Musings

My Knickers Are In A Twist
Michael Shinafelt

So something magical happened this week. How magical was it you may be wondering??? 

Well if I was a Unicorn I'd wanna be Courtney Hadwin. While I never watch America's Got Talent, thanks to a certain something called Social Media someone I am friends with on Facebook posted her audition for the show. WTF?! She's a mere 14 years old and sings like that? Whoa!

Here are some more thoughts on AGT and such...

So, Tyra Banks is the host of America's Got Talent now. When I saw her on it the song "Sweet Transvestite" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show sprang to the forefront of my mind.

What if Courtney Hadwin, had won AGT? (I heard she didn't) - whatever she got the exposure and will have a fantastic career. 

PS and who are the F#cking F#cks that didn't make her Queen of the F#cking ball?!?!

Angry Unicorn, discuss...

Don't be jealous of my ______ you know what people are jealous of regarding you. Tell me all about it whores. 

Raindrops on roses, and whisker biscuits 

Surrender the pink 

Eat the orange

I'll take a G-Eazy with a heaping slice of cheese, please

Byline of the week "Jessie J opens up about her infertility" Ummmmmm....

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum, Heidi Klum, Heidi Klum

Just Because...Oink!

If there isn't anything you wouldn't do, name it after someone you don't like

Guess what? I don't care because I'm half Queer

Hump Day & Chill

Red, Red, Wine...
Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler

Today's Hump Day & Chill is taking a departure from the usual exploitation of naked male skin.

"Yes" today we are celebrating two of my favorite Adult Beverages that I like to imbibe when I have had a rough shot week.

First and foremost, because it is the easiest to access, out of the starting gate and ready to rumble is Red Wine. Illustrated here by the cool as ice Kristin Cavallari and her manly stud of a husband Jay Cutler (yeah, I still had to have some stud flesh, it's Hump Day & Chill minions.)

One Olive, Or Two?
Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin

Next up we have the martini, enjoyed by the timeless Jane Fonda on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live with other fellow legend Lily Tomlin.

So Jane, is it a vodka or gin martini? I prefer mine gin, vodka is too obvious and easy.

What's your favorite Adult Beverage to Hump Day & Chill with? Do tell, not in a tattling way, in a confessional way.

Odd Couple

Who'd Of Thunk It?!
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

With the California Wildfires, the passing of  Marvel legend Stan Lee and the perpetual presence of Donald Trump - we all could use something to brighten our day.

Cue the hearts & flowers here it is! "Yes" the oddest coupling in Hollywood currently Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton. When this first started happening on The Voice I naturally thought it to be a ratings ploy, as I am sure many did.

So here we are three years later at the People's Choice Awards and they are still together - insert collective gasp here. "Yeppers" they are for real, amazing, I know...

Accentuate the positive and go out there and make it a good one y'all!

Monday Motivation

My Name Is Gerard, I'll Be Your Monday Motivation...
Gerard Butler

Today I am feeling quite, um shall we say, randy..."Yes" randy is a phrase that connotes more than a dude's name. If the word befuddles you it means the same thing as frisky. If you don't know what that means then I acquiesce.

So, in honor of this my Monday Motivation is taking on the form of one Gerard Butler. Oh yeah Virginia there is a Hunk-O-Claus.

Gerard is going to get me through my Manic Monday - as I can 100% guarantee it will be, indeed.

I'm gonna focus on his steaming hot masculinity, what a man, what a man, what a man.

Who are you lusting after today? 

Unleash the Kraken!

Kiss

Kissing Bandits
Sarah Silverman & Jimmy Kimmel

"I just want your extra time and your Kiss, Oh oh" - Kiss, Prince 

Apparently Sarah Silverman got herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this past Friday. While I do like Ms. Silverman it caught me off guard that she actually received the honor. I am guessing there is an upcoming project that she is in, thus the high visibility promotion.

Well guess who showed up for the ceremony? None other than Sarah's ex-BF Jimmy Kimmel! Guess what he did? C'mon guess...he gave her a kiss. Sound the collective Awwwwwwwww....sound it, and sound it now!

Thus today's decree? Give someone you once, or are currently banging a kiss today for whatever reason you see fit. It doesn't have to be out of respect and love like Sarah & Jimmy. It could have funny, naughty or insidious intentions, the choice is yours.

Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna go kiss someone special, in a place that I dare not speak it's name.

Mic Drop!

As reported by Billboard magazine https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8473626/david-archuleta-christmas-every-day-exclusive , Multi-platinum selling artist David Archuleta has released his brand new Christmas album Winter In The Air  via The Orchard (digital) and Shadow Mountain Records (physical product). The album is already in the Top 10 on iTunes Holiday charts and is available at all digital retailers: http://geni.us/ArchuletaWinter .

Winter In The Air features 12 tracks including Christmas classics such as “White Christmas,” God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Mary, Did You Know?”  In addition to co-writing the lead single “Christmas Every Day,” David also co-wrote the title track “Winter In The Air” and “He Is Born” for the new set. 

“Christmas Every Day” captures the holiday spirit with David’s hopeful and cheery lyrics –

Sidewalks covered up in snow
Lights up everywhere we go
Santa’s on his way,
It’s Christmas every day
Friends all warmed up by the fire,
Sometimes I just wish that
I could always feel this way
Like it’s Christmas every day

If I could have one more gift just for me
Joy to the world it would be
With more Christmases under the tree.

David says: I tend to gravitate to more serious and slower Christmas songs. This time I wanted to have some fun and write a song that would make people happy and feel the joy of the holidays. With the help of Dave Barnes and Cason Cooley, I’m thrilled with how our song “Christmas Every Day” turned out! It makes me happy.

Winter In The Air is David’s second Christmas album since 2009’s Christmas From The Heart release.  Christmas From The Heart has made a return to the charts every holiday season and has sold over 250K copies to date.  The album peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Holiday chart and Top 30 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album chart.

In support of the new release, David will kick-off a month long tour beginning November 26 in Los Angeles and will wrap up on December 21 in Utah.  Other cities on the trek include New York, Orlando & Nashville.  Click here for ticketing info:  https://davidarchuleta.com/home/live/
