Memorial Day

Not Tanning
Elle Fanning

It's Memorial Day, thus I am assuming most of you are enjoying a three day weekend. That means an extra day for fun in the sun and all that jazz. 

Well nothing says fun in the sun like being at Cannes during the Film Festival. Witness actress Elle Fanning enjoying the sun, but "not tanning," as she puts it on the shores of Cannes.

Elle never disappoints on the red carpet, she always slays in her choice of fashion. Well it looks like she can add swimwear to that section of her resume now as well. Seriously how many celebrities have you seen looking this stylish in a bikini? Yeah, I thought so.

This makes me want to pack my bags and hit the French shore next year, hey you never know what life has in store for you, that could happen, or not.

Have terrific Memorial Day no matter what it is you are doing.

Ciao!

Sunday Schwing! Steven Weber

Dropping Trou For Your Viewing Pleasure
Steven Weber

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away...Kidding! Yesterday however I flashed on memories of the film Single White Female, you know that creepy ass number starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bridget Fonda? Well it also starred 90's it guy Steven Weber, who got naked in it, all the way naked, full monty, the family jewels, full frontal....you get the picture. 

Not only did Steven star in the hit series Wings along side Timothy Daly he appeared in numerous movies of that era other than SWF. Including the title role in Jeffrey based on the Paul Rudnick play. 

He then at 53 flashed his still supple booty on TNT's Murder in the First. That Steven he is such a giver.

What? No I did not write this just to tease you. Since I am a giver too I am providing a link to Steven and his flesh courtesy of Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other Things below.

Schwing my minions, schwing!

Get an eyeful of Steven here:

Just Because...Ryan Gosling

Keeping It Real
Ryan Gosling

Look it's Ryan Gosling. What is Ryan doing? Ryan is headed to breakfast in Los Feliz keeping it cool and low key. 

Ryan Gosling has a lot of style, not in the fashion sense of the term, but in the way he is seen, but manages to keep it real. No fuss for this guy when he is out in public unless he is attending an event or award show.

He is the King of Cool when it comes to doing his thing out in the world. A quality I find rather sexy I must admit. Being nonchalant about it all only adds to what is already an impressive piece of man candy. 

So just because I personally have a thing for him, you are being subjected to this image of Ryan Gosling today. I'm sure I won't be hearing any complaints.

Have a good one and keep on keeping it real like Ryan!

Why Not? Wonder Woman

Wonder No More
Gal Gadot

Yesterday I went to make a Trader Joe's run to the one located on Hollywood & Vine at the W Hotel. I emerged from the subway to find a barricade at the Pantages Theater with people already gathering for the Wonder Woman premiere.

It was quite the set-up. I was so glad I arrived before noon, can't imagine what the sidewalks would have been like later. At the time I encountered them they were not that full but the very front of the barricaded area was already teeming with WW fanatics. You'd have to be one to arrive that early.

Being the on the move writer guy I am I snapped a photo of a Wonder Woman wanna be and her Batman eagerly waiting for the sacred event. 

Batman & Wonder Woman 

After I hash tagged it and posted it to Instagram someone recognized WW and BM and tagged them to my image. Faux Wonder Woman approved and left a comment on my pic. Isn't the WWW grand?

Thus I leave you with an image of the actual Wonder Woman arriving at the premiere Gal Godot and my great pretender and her Batman. 

T.G.I.F!

When I Think About You I...
Michael Shinafelt

Hello from the other side. While Trump continues to be the biggest punchline to everything all over the globe, life goes on. 

There is really so much beauty in world, like plastic bags tayin' in da win, Unicorn poop and rainbows. OK, kidding about the Unicorn poop, or am I? Remember anything is possible and don't call me Yentl. 

Shall we proceed? Computer says "yes"...

The Trumps visiting the Pope. The Pope looked like he needed an Exorcism in the photos.

I'm in the mood, come on give it up

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. Werd!

Tinsley Mortimer has a hotter vag than Sonja Morgan. Sonja needs to get over her jealousy tour.

Turning tricks with my crucifix. Someone has to.

I know Vampires who have aged more than Pamela Anderson. Don't judge me by the company I keep.

l-r Myself, Mike Clifford & Ivan 

Yesterday I celebrated the success of my friend Mike Clifford's video. It's a dance cover of  "What A Wonderful World" - we had a "wonderful" lunch at Casita Del Campo check Mike out on the net here: https://www.facebook.com/MikeCliffordsWonderfulWorld/

Beware of the trash that will not burn

Congratulations to Troian Bellisario aka Spencer Hastings. She directed the best episode thus far of Pretty Little Liars this season. Only five more to go until it the show ends. Yes, I am sad.

Hating people takes too much energy, pretend that they're dead

Helpful Hint: Never drink Tejava Tea (which I love) after you have had a fruit smoothie. The combination of acids made me hurl.

I wonder what the world would be like if I had Bette Davis Eyes?

Multitasking Mama

Wonder Woman Has Nothing
On
Julie Bowen

Get a load of Julie Bowen of Modern Family judging by her apron not only does she bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan, she also does due diligence on her laptop and makes bath time lots a of fun!

In other words she's a chef, boss and rubber ducky all at the same moment in time. That's makes her one big Multitasking Mama!

OK, Julie what are you going to do for an encore? How about trying to add painting your nails while doing all this too? I bet you can't. Yes, I just dared you, game on!
