Michael's Musings

Raise Your Hand in the Air Like You Don't Care...
Michael Shinafelt

Well the Golden Globe Awards were this past weekend signaling that award season is upon us. While I did enjoy that we got to see some people on the actual Globe stage, the whole Zoom thing is still kind of sort of interesting. It forces one to get creative in their presentation of themselves and their surroundings. 

This touches on what I'm about of late, getting creative. Finding my happy place within, because ain't nobody gonna give that to you, got it? Good!

Always Remember: In a storm of stillness chew on the gristle of your soul. That is all.

Do you ever sit and think that some people have dick hands?

I don't wanna be buried in Slut Cemetery...

Cover yourself in wit & rhythm 

Sometimes I simply wanna chase the White Rabbit down that rabbit hole

I like to go big and go home

Do I look thirsty???

I don't care what that man does

Hump Day & Chill

Get "Real"
Eric Nies

With the original cast of The Real World reuniting Friday on Paramount + I felt hunky model Eric Nies would be the perfect Hump Day & Chill for the week. He did after all show lots of skin during his career. Most notably baring it all for the Bruce Webber's Bear Pond.

Of note apparently Nies wasn't allowed to live with the others in their SoHo Loft for the reunion. He was forced to stay in a hotel room apart from his housemates and video call in. Nies says he couldn't explain why this is, but it was not his choice.

Whatever the case it sounds like drama! 

In the meantime tune in to the link below via Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things and Hump Day & Chill to Eric in his Birthday Suit. It's may not contain drama, but it's a whole lotta bang for your...

Pillow Talk

A few weeks ago I was flipping channels and stumbled across an old movie made in 1959 to be exact, that I had heard of, but never seen. That movie would be the romantic comedy Pillow Talk starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day.

It was, well since it was made before I was born how about using a corny adjective: Delightful!

What's that? You've never heard of Pillow Talk, Rock Hudson or Doris Day? Say what?! Well prepared to get schooled I tell you what. Click on the link to my buddy Jay Jacobson's Classic Movie Blog below. Jay is an expert on old movies and the stars of them, he also includes juicy behind the scenes details as well.

Happy Anniversary, Drunk

With the Pandemic version of the Golden Globe Awards going down yesterday evening a lot of celebrities took a stroll down memory lane on Social Media. That's correct they posted pics of The Ghost of Golden Globe Awards past.

So I am giving my favorite Globes of the Past Award to Chrissy Teigen. Leave it to Chrissy, if she ever wants to do a reality show, she now has a title. To post the most self deprecating and funniest post from years gone by.

There's nothing more that I can say about this memory, as she has really said it all.

For those about to drink, like Chrissy, we salute you!

Golden Globe Awards

The 78th Golden Globe Awards

Today is the 78th Golden Globe Awards to be held in Beverly Hills, CA. Being a local living in Los Angeles we get these banners on lamp posts plastered about town.

Tina Fey & Amy Poehler are back as hosts, it should be interesting to see how they stage the show. That's one of the odder things I have enjoyed about the pandemic is how they pull off Award Shows. It sure brings out the Entertainment Industries creative side.

So kick back, grab some snacks and enjoy to quote the banner above it's "What the globe needs right now" - Cheers to that!

Reunited

We Are Family
Lady Gaga & Children

With the world being all sorts of crazy, perhaps the weirdest story of the week was the kidnapping of Lady Gaga's French Bulldogs. (Sorry CPAC, your no longer winning the crazy game. You are simply boring loons at this point for me.)

Gaga and her dogs have been reunited, this took me to my happy place. While it is unclear what the motivation was for the dognapping (I will be curious to find out) happy endings these days are always a welcome change of pace.

(CNN) The two French bulldogs violently stolen from Lady Gaga's dog walker have been returned safely, the Los Angeles Police Department said Friday.

A woman, who wasn't named, met the entertainer's staff and detectives at the Olympic Community Police Station with the animals at around 6 p.m. PT, the LAPD said in a statement.

"The woman found the dogs and reached out to Lady Gaga's staff to return them," the statement said. "The woman's identity and the location the dogs were found will remain confidential due to the active criminal investigation and for her safety."

The LAPD also updated the condition of the dog walker, saying he was "stable" with injuries that were not life-threatening.

It's National Tell A Fairy Tale Day!

Ready For The Ball
Zendaya 

"Once upon a time there was a Dancing Chicken that made toast with the silhouette of Hello Kitty on it..."    

In case you haven't guessed it's National Tell A Fairy Tale Day and telling them obviously is not my forte. Thus I will leave that to the experts like The Brothers Grimm or Hans Christen Andersen.

To help commemorate the day we have Zendaya on hand dressed as Cinderella at the Met Gala. 

What the world needs now is a good fairy tale, a happy ending so to speak. I don't know about you but that's what I am going to do today. Immerse myself in a good old fashioned escapism.

Join me and Zendaya, in a world of fantasy and fun, won't you?

It's OK to check out ever so often, so be good to yourself 😊
