Just Because...The Odd Couple

Who Knew???
Sharon Stone & Drew Barrymore

Just because it's the 4th of July weekend, just because this image proves once and for all Sharon Stone is a vampire & just because Drew Barrymore has such an infectious smile, I present to you this photo of them as you've never seen them before...together!

Who knew that these two knew each other let alone crossed paths for this photo opp in the early part of the decade. 

Marvel about how Sharon never seems to age. Behold Drew's charm. Wow! This is an all sorts of special moment!!!

Being a fan of both I'm glad I found this while surfing the WWW now I have it here on Entertain Me to infinity and beyond.

Now that's entertainment, and aren't you happy? Have a good one!

Fame Is Like Caviar

It's July 1st, yes peeps 2017 is more than half over and the Orange Menace is still being a worthless Bitch Baby. 

Normally I don't do posts about my wall calendar, but...this month's Marilyn Monroe quote for some reason captured my imagination: Fame Is Like Caviar....the accompanying image makes it even more intriguing, it gives it an ambiguity. Which actually works, depending on how you feel about devouring fish eggs.

Caviar is considered a delicacy and therefore if fame is like it, it must be delicate? A privilege? Something to savor? Perhaps something salty and nasty you want to spit out? Not all it's cracked up to be? The list of interpretations of of this quote are endless.

Having had a taste of a certain amount of visibility out there in the world I'm going to go with a little of both the glutinous definition of fame and the spitting version. 

Fame is like anything that enhances your life, the upside always out weighs the downside, but ever so often you want to spit it out. I for one like caviar and would never spit it out unless there was a very specific reason, think about that, but not too hard.

It's July 1st 2017, in what has been a fast moving, not to mention one of the most embarrassing years in American History. Keep yourself happy and do you!

Michael's Musings

Cruel Summer?
Michael Shinafelt

This week was the end of a special chapter in my life. Yes, minions it was the series finale of Pretty Little Liars, a show that has always been there for me when I needed top notch escapist entertainment most. With a complete dash of reality to balance it.

Also this past week, June 25th 2017 marked the marriage of my awesome niece Shauna Waters to one Nick Kastner in Cabo San Lucas. 

Yep, this has been en eventful week, are you ready for what else I have to toss off your way? Well here it comes!

Sarcasm is my brains self defense mechanism for when I'm about to be murdered

I saw the Baywatch movie this week on the Sony Pictures Lot. Dumb, but fun!

Pretty Little Liars was on for seven glorious seasons, it's gone now. I am bummed. Can you imagine how I will feel when another of my favorites Law & Order: SVU ends, that f#cker has been on for twenty seasons & counting!

Well wishes to my friend Diva Sandy Zacky who is recovering from knee surgery

The Secrets End Tonight!

Tonight is the two hour series finale of one of my favorite shows ever, Pretty Little Liars, if you haven't seen it, don't judge me, and if you have and are a fan like myself, well you get it!

I remember when PLL first came on the air it received enormous buzz thanks to the savvy use of Social Media. The buzz was strong, it was a noise that I ignored at first. How could a gay man in his 40's possibly get into a show aimed a tween girls on ABC Family (now Freeform.)

Cut to one day when I had nothing really pressing to do, I decided to check out my On Demand and saw it listed, I thought: OK let's give it a shot. I was hooked and immediately binge watched the whole season.

The thing that strikes me odd is the people who watch the show and complain about who  "A" is being drawn out too long. To me that was never really the point of the show, sure it made it fun and who doesn't love a good freaky suspense/mystery/horror show. The real driving force behind the show has always been the characters and story. Besides think about it everyone on the show really pretty much was "A" even though there was the big "A" reveal - all of them have done some shady things that gave them all some "A" ness.

So tonight after seven entertaining and fun seasons it all comes to an end with the reveal of Uber "A." While I do think it is time for the show to bid farewell and I can't wait for the biggest reveal, I will miss seeing the "Liars" every week. 

Hey there's always reruns!

Just Because...Margot Robbie

M-I-C...
Margot Robbie

Just because it's Monday, just because she's a beauty & mostly just because she is wearing a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt, I present this image of actress Margot Robbie.

Even though I did not see Suicide Squad I am sure most of you like me know her best from her role as Harley Quinn in the comic book based movie.

The last I heard she wrapped playing Tonya Harding of all things (isn't she too attractive to be portraying her?) in the bio based film I, Tonya.

Margot's greatest achievement IMHOP is having accomplished something I never thought possible. Yep, she has managed to add a whole other dimension to the icon known as Mickey Mouse.

Think about it, but not too hard, OK?

Happy Monday indeed.
