Hump Day & Chill
 |
| Join Her? Madonna |
Since the Holiday Season is hectic I'd thought it's time for something one can truly Hump Day & Chill to. You've heard of Elf on the Shelf of course, how could you not?! Well today I bequeath you the most chill thing ever on this Hump Day December 13th 2023 - Ladies & Gentlemen it's Madonna and a Martini...Yay!
While I am not specifically sure what Madonna era this was shot in, I do know the location, this was shot at, the now defunct Small's Bar across from Paramount Studios (I loved that bar and had Martini's there quite often) for an issue of Vanity Fair.
Thus take a Holiday breather and join Madonna and myself for that matter in a Martini!
Do you prefer vodka or gin? I am a gin straight up two olive sort of guy...
Hump Day & Chill Minions!!!

Leave The World Behind
 |
| Julia Roberts |
The hot Netflix film presently is Leave The World Behind starring Julia Roberts & Ethan Hawke. It is proving to be divisive among the audience and that's not hard to understand why.
So here you are going to get my quick hot take on it as to why I liked it. First off let's refer to the meme above. This is how Ms. Roberts closes an opening monologue, this closed the deal for me to continue watching.
A lot of fuss has been made about how the movie seems random and not connected. While I don't disagree with that entirely. I liked that about it. It was a bold choice IMHO because that is the way a situation like this would play out in real life. Do any of you know exactly what you would do or how you would behave, let alone what would happen when no one really knows what's happening in a situation like this? Yeah, I thought not...
There is that ending, which I felt captured the spirit of the rest of the story the film told. No one knows anything and they are trying to figure out who and what they are in this extreme situation.
My only real criticism is it felt all too possible and real to me, and that Minions is truly frightening!!!

Monday Motivation
Tis the season for stress and anxiety fa la la la la...etc. & vice versa. Thus when this meme popped up in my Facebook Memories today I said to self: Self this is perfect for this time of year and it's also a great reminder of how one should live a good life.
So here we are December 11, 2023 and collectively we are going to let go of the things that no longer serve us for our Monday Motivation.
Think about things you do on a daily basis, habits you have and the people that surround you. Now think about how the enhance your quality of life and the ones that leave you empty handed, well guess what? Those are the things in your life that are no longer of service to you.
Approach this like an early Christmas Gift to your self. Given with self care and love.
Trust me, it's the best present you'll receive all season!!!

Only 15 More Days...
Alright with there being a mere fifteen days till Christmas I guess it's time to throw my winter hat into the ring and start counting it down...
Thus in true Entertain Me style here is a hybrid holiday meme (say that three times fast!)
It features a classic Christmas movie with a classic comedy/drama. While I am sure you can guess the famous Holiday classic can you guess the other???
Here's a hint, it starred a young Dustin Hoffman. Still wondering??? Here's another hint, it was directed by Mike Nichols.
OK, some of you may have gotten it by now for those who might not have the obvious reference is A Christmas Story the unobvious one is The Graduate.
Fifteen more days...here's to you Mrs. Robinson!

Live & Livid

Margaret Cho continues to be the must-see comedian-actress: she stars in Hulu's EMMY nominated rom-com movie -"Fire Island" (People’s Choice Award, GLAAD Media Award, Dorian TV & Gotham Award winner) with SNL alum Bowen Yang, in Awkwafina’s Nora From Queens and with Iliza Shlesinger in Netflix's "Good on Paper." Most recently, Margaret starred in the Disney+ "Prom Pact" movie - watch trailer HERE as well as a guest star appearance on ABC's "Not Dead Yet" with Gina Rodriguez. Margaret was also part of Netflix's “Stand Out Comedy Special” and "Over The Moon" film with Ken Jeong & Sandra Oh which was nominated for an Academy Award & Golden Globe Award. And, the cherry on the cake may be her inclusion in VOGUE Magazine’s “9 best female comedians of all-time’ alongside other comedic icons Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner and Wanda Sykes.
Now, Margaret - the five-time Grammy and Emmy nominated comedian/actress who has been touring North America since the start of 2023 has added brand new 2024 dates to her highly successful Live & LIVID! tour. Tickets for the new 2024 Live and LIVID! tour go on-sale Friday, December 8 HERE .
“Live and LIVID is a show celebrating my 40 years as a stand up comedian. I will be radiating rage about homophobia, sexism, racism and the fight to stay alive in a culture that is killing us daily. You will love seeing me Live and LIVID! This is living! Come through life!”
“I’ve cycled through many names to get to Live and Livid. Absolutely Angry, Bitch and Bitchy, Count on this C***, but Live and LIVID seems to have a ring to it.” - says Cho.
Not enough Margaret for you? In addition to "Prom Pact" on Disney +, HBO Max's "The Flight Attendant" with Kaley Cuoco & Rosie Perez,"Hacks"with Jean Smart, "The L Word:Generation Q"on Showtime and Hulu's "Sex Appeal" w/Mika Abdalla & Paris Jackson, Cho has also appeared on NBC's long-running drama series "Law & Order:SVU" and stunned America by singing her way through season one of the wildly popular break-out hit show The Masked Singer. Additionally, Margaret was named one of Rolling Stone magazine's 50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time (Rolling Stone HERE) while CNN chose her as one of the 50 People Who Changed American Comedy (CNN HERE ).
"The Notorious C.H.O.! Margaret is a jack of all trades and master of many. Whether conjuring the spirits of George Carlin, Joan Rivers or Lenny Bruce, she is committed to navigating the world of comedy and uniquely making it her own. Completely unapologetic about the life experiences that have shaped her path and journey to where she is today. These are just some of the reasons I love Margaret." Wanda Sykes
“I was inspired by Margaret. I got my start in comedy because of Margaret.” When I was in medical school and being her opening act at university inspired me to do this full-time. I would always ask Margaret, ‘Should I quit being a doctor? Should I quit medicine?’ I was so tortured, and I know I annoyed her. And she was so patient with me and so loving. It was just like a sibling – and it got me through my own internal confidence crises.“Margaret really is a pioneer in so many ways. Every Asian-American comedian owes a debt of gratitude to Margaret. Also, when I developed my own show, Dr Ken, I had Margaret as my character’s sister for a reason.” Ken Jeong - Click HERE
A pioneer amongst women in comedy, Margaret doesn’t take anything for granted as she continues to tackle difficult subjects with sensitivity and her razor sharp insight with her takes on addiction, abuse, activism and Asianness. It's all about the politics of disgust and what is disgusting about politics. Margaret has received many rave reviews for her live shows with the Chicago Tribune saying “Be it on-screen (“30 Rock,” “Drop Dead Diva”) or on stage, Margaret Cho has been one of the most exciting, unpredictable stand-up comics working for some time, and that hasn’t changed. If anything, the Asian-American female comedian’s voice has become more valuable than ever, given today’s social climate, and Cho’s material remains just as compelling, thanks in part to—and sometimes in spite of—her unapologetic delivery.”

Santa Baby
Madonna
"Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot, Been an angel all year, Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight" - Santa Baby, Madonna
Santa Baby has been covered by many artists over the years, my personal favorite is the cover Madonna did of it.
Here she is proving what a Bad Girl she has been with an outtake shot of her from her SEX book by Steven Meisel.
So what do you want Santa Baby to bring you this Christmas 2023? Hopefully you won't get a lump of coal.
I know what I want, and it's not a lot, and it's not a yacht...
Ho, Ho, Ho! (if you get my drift...)
Santa Baby by Madonna after the jump!
