The Final Countdown

Giving Shhhh Finger Realness
The Pretty Little Liars
l-r Lucy Hale, Sasha Pieterse, Troian Bellasario, Ashley Benson & Shay Mitchell

"Got a secret, Can you keep it? Swear this one you’ll save, Better lock it, in your pocket, Taking this one to the grave...." 

Can you believe tonight is the first of the last ten times we will ever hear the theme song to Pretty Little Liars again? Well OK, there are re-runs etc...it will be the last ten times we ever hear it with new episodes. 

I remember when I first saw PLL I believe it was already in it's second season and I had been hearing so much about it that one night I turned it on out of curiosity, from that moment on I was hooked. Escapist entertainment at it's finest!

Fond memories of driving my then boyfriend crazy by insisting we catch up on the show when he was over are the best. There was also the time when I was going through a rough period and the show lifted my spirits then there was another time...well you get the picture. 

One Happy "PLL" Fan
Me & Sasha Pieterse

While the show ending will be like losing an old friend who has always been there for you, the time for it to wrap itself up has definitely come. 

So with fond memories and anticipation of seeing what will happen to my favorite "Liars" I am excited for the final countdown to the end of the show. 

If any of you need me you know where to find me tonight at 8!

Hellbent For Leather - Lady Gaga

Obey Everything I Say
Lady Gaga

While most of us celebrated Easter by having brunch with friends or feasting with family, a handful of others trekked to the California desert to attend the Coachella music festival which was headlined by the one and only Lady Gaga.

Our Lady of Gaga debuted her new single "The Cure" there much to the delight of her fans. Trust me I know first hand they were delighted because, you know, the postings on Facebook about the ditty were nothing short or orgasmic. 

Looking like a dominatrix might have helped put the song over with the audience too. Hey it's Gaga she can do whatever she wants and does.

Personally leather is my look and I can understand the Lady being hellbent for it. Leather it does a body good, especially if you are _____ the blank is yours to fill in, I'm just the tease.

It's Monday time to get on with it and get over it, it's time to bend it like Lady Gaga. 

Ciao!

Happy Easter!

My Kind Of Easter Basket
The Easter Bunny & Andy Cohen

When I was a kid growing up I always loved getting baskets of goodies from the Easter Bunny. As I grew older and my taste evolved I wished he would bring me a different kind of Easter Basket instead...

Something along the lines of this Bunny bringing everyone Andy Cohen with his basket full of goodies. Calories you can burn instead of packing on, that's my idea of one devilishly delicious Easter Brunch.

Andy the host of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live seems very at ease offering up his Easter Eggs. Let's indulge him and partake, shan't we? Yummy! 

Happy Easter Everyone!

Saturday Sinema: A Street Cat Named Bob

Trivia - Joanne Froggatt takes the same Spin Class I do at Gold's Gym Hollywood, the more you know...

Cleopatra Entertainment LLC, the movie division of famed indie record label Cleopatra Records, has acquired all domestic rights to the feel-good true story A Street Cat Named Bob, directed by Roger Spottiswoode (Turner and Hooch, Tomorrow Never Dies) and starring Luke Treadaway (Unbroken), Ruta Gedmintas (The Strain) and Joanne Froggatt (Downtown Abbey). The film, written by Tim John and Maria Nation, is based on the international bestseller by James Bowen and Garry Jenkins. Produced by Adam Rolston for Shooting Script Films, the uplifting story will be released domestically in theaters on November 18th, 2016.

SYNOPSIS:

When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas. Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts.

The book "A Street Cat Named Bob" was first published in the U.K. in March 2012 and spent a record 70 consecutive weeks on the Sunday Times Bestseller list, the majority of which residing at the number one spot. The book has now been published in more than 30 territories, including the U.S., China, and Japan, selling more than five million copies worldwide.

Damian Jones (Absolutely Fabulous, The Lady In The Van) serves as executive producer on the film. Prescience fully financed the production and Tim Smith, Paul Brett, Anders Erden and James Swarbrick also serve as executive producers. The Exchange handled sales.

Sony Pictures Releasing International and Stage 6 Films will release the film on November 4th in the UK and in multiple territories this fall.

"This is a universal story that audiences around the world have already embraced," said Cleopatra founder Brian Perera. "We are excited to play a part in bringing this project to both old and new fans of this inspiring story."

"Powerful and inspirational, with a strong music base, A Street Cat Named Bob makes this true life story a perfect fit for Cleopatra Distribution," said Brian O'Shea, The Exchange CEO.

Available for order at the MVD SHOP and on Amazon. 

T.G.I.F! Good Vibes Only

Good Vibrations
Lucy Hale

It's Good Friday, hence we are sending out "Good Vibes Only" here at Entertain Me. Those vibes are coming at ya courtesy of one Ms. Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars fame.

Lucy as you can see wears her heart on her torso, with a T-Shirt stating what she wants and we should all be having this Easter weekend. Heck any week, weekend, evening, day...whenever!

Walking in LA Lucy looks adorable as per usual and smile, she has coffee after all. 

Although I am excited to see the final ten episodes of Pretty Little Liars and what ends up happening to Aria (Lucy's character) and the rest of the girls starting this coming Tuesday, April 18th. There will be a definite sense of loss once the show is over. 

C'est Le Vie and let the good vibes flow...!!!

Michael's Musings

Spin Bike Porn
Michael Shinafelt

Are you scratching your collective heads about the above image and caption? Well let me strap one on and extrapolate.

Those of you who take a spin class on a regular basis get what I mean, for the uninitiated here we go. Everyone no matter who they are have their favorite bike when they enter the spin room, in my case this takes place at Gold's Gym Hollywood (they should pay my ass for all my internet mentions of them.)

I have two favorite instructors there, Jessica & Michelle, and guess what? I like the same bike all the time. Now don't get me wrong, if someone arrives before me and snags it, I can move on and not get bent. But that never happens, because I get there early enough to insure my place in the universe.

So the image above is me showing affection for my favorite spin bike in the room with a tongue bath. Let's move on, I know you want to....

United Airlines, moving on...

Oral tops & waffle makers

Hey Guys & Dolls, this Easter I wish you the biggest basket

Hagsploitation - I never thought a limited series on FX named Feud would introduce me to my new favorite term.

There's no gray in Sonja Morgan's gardens. Dye it's not just for Easter eggs

A woman named Ida Lickhammer gave a like to one of my Instagram posts this week. Yes, really.

That time in spin class (you know, on my favorite bike) you mistake a Michael Jackson song for a Britney Spears one. Yeah, that really happened.

Here comes Peter Cottontail, I hope he cleans up after himself

To all the RHOBH fans out there. Look what I saw this past week DTLA
