Life's Too Short To Obey All The Rules
Michael Shinafelt

Life's too short to obey all the rules, and if you do, you miss all the fun!!! That's correct Minions live your life on your terms and break the rules you can, because no one is getting out of here alive.

What's that  you say? Why am I being so morbid? Oh I am being quite the opposite of that, it's called living my best life, and I truly have been for a while now. Sometimes you need a reminder to continue to do so. Some of us need to be encouraged to just do it, putting my best foot forward in gratitude, let's hit it!

Please, test that assumption and then take note of the results aka How to professionally say: F#ck around and find out, the more you know...

FYI Don't count your chickens because nobody cares how many chickens you've got

If you had to lose your virginity to one item off the Taco Bell menu what would it be?!?! Mine? Mexican Pizza

Question: Why would Satan torture people in Hell for disobeying the same God he disobeyed??? Think about it, but not too much.

Hope you all bought yourself flowers and had a Happy Valentine's yesterday!

Winner of my favorite Valentine card yesterday? A Saltburn themed one with an image of Barry Keoghan saying: I'd Drink Your Bath Water

Hey person that just got slightly angry with me for not remembering that we'd already met be...more...memorable, that's all

The Silence of the Lambs was released 33 years ago yesterday! Classic!

Woman Crush of the Week - Kristen Stewart, love this photo from her Rolling Stone cover story shoot! Can't wait to see Love Lies Bleeding!!!

Fun Fact: Did you know I am a big fan of Lana Del Rey? Now you do

Taylor Swift is the second coming of Christ, fight me on this (for those of you who may not get this is a joke in response to certain absurd conspiracy theories regarding her, it is)

Speaking of which, looks like Travis Kelce is Europe bound with Taylor Swift for her eras tour. Now that's the way to celebrate winning the Super Bowl!!!

When someone disturbs my energy with their drama I exit stage right

I'm off, wonder what rule I will choose not to obey today?!?!

Going Platinum

Vassy

Friday marked a career milestone for me

receiving my 1st Song Writers Platinum Plaque 💿
from The National Music Publishers' Association through my publisher
The Royalty Network for my record BAD w/ David Guetta & Showtek hitting
Certified RIAA Platinum in the US.

I have received other Plaques before, but getting this Gem 💎 is Rare!!
Such an honour 😭 to be acknowledged.  
The timing was serendipitous as it was the same day my new
LP 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄 released.

It was so much fun making this album with Grammy Hit producer Tim Myers
[One Republic] with Label Position Music.
It was a chance for me to go back some of my original musical roots
creating a fusion of quirky eclectic songs.

 I'm excited to share it with you. 🧡🧸🧡

Sharon Stone is everything and she serving up all the Monday Motivation we all need to hear!

Superbowl Sunday

Taylor Swift

It's Superbowl Sunday again Minions! The showdown is between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs for those of you out of the loop.

However this year's MVP will not be on the playing field. "Yes" this year's MVP is Taylor Swift, saw her name 5 times and she will appear (OK, kidding, you do't have to day her name at all and she will appear.)

Taylor has had quite the 2023 and looks like she is going to win 2024 as well. Not to mention  her guy Travis Kelce who is tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs needs cheering on, Taylor style. I know you've seen her engaging because MAGA (ts) have lost there sh!t over it!

Whatever the outcome of the game Taylor Swift for today's win!

The Name Game

Sutton Stracke

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans know this is Sutton Stracke's go to quote when unlike Baby she is put in a corner.

Thus when I saw this meme of Sutton with her infamous "Name 'Em" defense mechanism quote behind her in pink neon,well I knew it was bound to be featured on Entertain Me.

Now here's the real trick to bending Sutton's trademark quote like Ms. Stracke herself. You must repeat it over and over as many times as you can possibly insert it into the conversation you are having where you are deflecting from yourself.

I believe Sutton's personal record (on the show, perhps not IRL) is five or six times in one continuous loop.

"Yes" it's as obnoxious as it sounds and, well we wouldn't have our Lady of Stracke any other way! 

Now pull yourself up by your panties or briefs and sally fourth playing the name game today! 

Be your own Sutton Minions!!!

The Linguini Incident

David Bowie & Rosanna Arquette

MVD Entertainment Group has acquired North American rights to Emmy-winning director Richard Shepard’s (The Matador, Dom Hemingway, The Handmaid’s Tale) debut film, The Linguini Incident. Rock music legend David Bowie (The Man Who Fell to Earth) and Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction) star in the film along with Academy Award® winner Marlee Matlin (Children of a Lesser God), Buck Henry (Heaven Can Wait), Eszter Balint (Stranger Than Paradise), Andre Gregory (Demolition Man), Viveca Lindfors (The Sure Thing), James Avery (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) and Maura Tierney (Liar Liar). MVD is planning a limited theatrical release for the film, followed by its debut on digital, video on demand and physical media in summer 2024, under MVD’s Marquee Collection banner.  

The Linguini Incident is a romantic caper about a perennially underpaid waitress named Lucy (Arquette) and Monte (Bowie), a mysterious, charming (and very in debt) bartender. Lucy is seriously in need of cash and Monte needs to marry someone, anyone, by the end of the week… or else. Together they join forces — along with Lucy’s lingerie designing best friend, Viv (Balint) — to rob their terminally hip New York City restaurant and solve their financial woes. However these three are far from master criminals and they soon learn that in robberies, as in love, things never go as planned.

Originally released in spring 1992, co-writer and director Richard Shepard and producer Sarah Jackson re-claimed the rights to Shepard's debut feature film, scanned and restored the movie in 4K and assembled a never-before-seen director’s cut. According to Richard, “I’m thrilled that the great folks at MVD are going to re-release The Linguini Incident and present this brand-new director’s cut, with an incredibly beautiful transfer. It’s going to be a fun discovery or rediscovery for fans of Bowie, Arquette or independent films of the early 90s.” 

“I’m a huge fan of Richard’s body of work, especially The Matador, and one of the great privileges of my career is getting to collaborate with some of my favorite filmmakers and help bring their passion projects back to life,” said Eric D. Wilkinson, Director of Acquisitions at MVD Entertainment Group. “The Linguini Incident is a criminally underrated gem and I’m excited to be re-introducing Richard’s restored director’s cut the way it was meant to be seen, under our prestigious Marquee Collection banner.”
