Michael's Musings

TBT: Go Into The Light
Michael Shinafelt
"Blinded by the light, Revved up like a deuce" - Blinded By The Light, Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Remember this song? Remember how inaudible the lyrics were? So much so that "Revved up like a deuce" sounded like, and everyone thought they were singing "Wrapped up like a douche?" Yeah, that pretty much says it all. Time to slide, minions...

We are all children of the universe, no less than the trees and stars. Except for, well we know who the exceptions are, now don't we?

There are no cards in Hell, they already know they're against humanity

Best Wishes go out to legend Catherine Deneuve who suffered a stroke 

Only one more episode left of American Horror Story: 1984!!! 

"The fact that some people are mistaking Keanu Reeves age appropriate girlfriend with Helen Mirren is wild. In hollywood, if you’re not 24, you might as well be 70." - Whitney Cummings

Did you know the Bible is 100% accurate? Especially when thrown at close range.

When George gets a little too curious, mysterious things go down

Ice-T liked one of my Tweets about Law & Order: SVU - that happened

Speaking of SVU Margaret Cho guests stars tonight as the head of a sex trafficking ring, oh my!


Woman Crush of the Week - Brooke Candy for celebrating sexual freedom

Oh, speaking of which - Jizz Lord

I'm going to Disneyland!

Did you know you can flash people with your cell phone? The truth is out there.

There are always going to be squirrels spreading f#ckery

A shout out to Kelly Clarkson, whoever your stylist for your talk show is, they must really hate you!

Michael Shinafelt
Hello Beautiful People, it's me! Right here, right now. Could you ask for anything more??? It's time to go forward, move ahead, try to detect it, it's not too late...

Step on a crack, break your Mother's ______ use your imagination and fill in the blank

Tonight I will be attending media night at Knott's Scary Farm (translation, everything is comped) can't wait...woot!

Maroon 5 to headline 2019 Superbowl half time show. Whatever.

Jessica Lange will be returning to American Horror Story as Constance Langdon. This makes sense since Constance was last seen nurturing the Anti-Christ who is a grown ass man now this season.

You were told that it's scary. Do you know that it's true?

Kelly Clarkson is getting a talk show. Perfection.

Death smiles at us all, all one has to do is smile back

Sunday Funday!

Da Bomb!

Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres & Kelly Clarkson
"Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs" - Liza Minnelli "Don't Drop Bombs"

I don't know about you minions but I'm feeling quite silly today, hence I did a search on the WWW for what else? Celebrity Photobombs

As you can bear witness I mined a treasure of one. See Ellen DeGeneres & her wife Portia de Rossi canoodling at The Grammy's - why look it's Grammy Winner Kelly Clarkson making silly in the BG (background for those acronym challenged.)

And so the story goes...

That Kelly she's so adorable don't you just want to take her home and feed her?

Michael's Musings

King Cold Miser
Michael Shinafelt

"Cold is the color of crystal the snow light, That falls from the heavenly skies" Cold - Annie Lennox

Yes it's summer, but why am I feeling so cold? Well this past Tuesday we Americans celebrated July 4th. It was the 241st Birthday of our country, a celebration of a break from tyranny. Yet in 2017 certain people with brain disorders voted it back in. 

Thus I told people on my social media outlets to celebrate their independence, that is what will keep us all strong, shall we continue? Fer sure!

File this under things that never get old: "See Darlin' You Are A Whore" - Cristal Connors, Showgirls

It's official, I am the booty whisperer 

Admit it, kale sucks

Annie Lennox was recently mistaken for a promising new singer. Ugh, millennials.

Stop calling Kelly Clarkson fat

Always remember, your neighbors are cray
How Many Fuxs Do I Give?

Jingle Bell Barack

Ho, Ho, Ho!
Santa, President Obama, Eva Longoria & Kelly Clarkson
Deck The White House
With 2016 drawing to a close and Christmas on it's way I thought what better way to count it all down than to take a peek at the last Christmas Tree lighting at the White House under President Barack Obama, one shudders to think what next year at this time might be like.

President Obama along with Eva Longoria, Kelly Clarkson and of course Santa got together and jammed on the holiday staple Jingle Bells at the tree lighting ceremony in Washington, DC.

Something to put a smile on your face today. 

Sing-A- Long, won't you? 

"Dashing through the snow on a one horse open sleigh...."

Bye, Bye, Bye: American Idol


Wow it's the end of an era. Fifteen Seasons on the air and now it's over. I remember when American Idol was pretty much a social experiment and no one knew whether it would work or not. In the interest of full disclosure I stopped watching after the season Adam Lambert was on.

However it is no secret to most I am buddies with James Durbin who will be appearing on tonight's series finale, among others including the original Idol herself, Ms. Kelly Clarkson.

This factoid did not escape the most Dedicated Durbinator, Marissa Erickson who friended me on Facebook and followed me on Twitter when she saw my coverage of James.

Well she sent me some images from a live chat she participated in on Facebook during the rehearsals involving James for his performance to the final countdown to tonight's AI farewell.

She wrote this to me in a message:

"Today a live chat on face book from idol and James Durbin"

So here are images from Marissa's live chat enjoy tonight's final American Idol show!!!






Downtime With
James Durbin

James has also been invited to perform on American Idol’s finale show Thursday, April 7.  Other performers slated to return for the finale show include Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, David Cook and many other former IDOLS.

Jade Starling No Longer Has 80's Hair

Remember Your 80's Poof? Neither Does Jade Starling
DANCE-POP ICON JADE STARLING
JOINS KELLY CLARKSON, ICONA POP, AND DEMI LOVATO
IN BILLBOARD TOP 5 WITH CURRENT SMASH CLUB HIT

PRETTY POISON LEAD SINGER-SONGWRITER AND CO-FOUNDER SOARING AGAIN WITH HIGHEST CHART NUMBERS SINCE 1987 CLASSIC “CATCH ME I’M FALLING”



Now a new generation of club kids can fall in love with singer Jade Starling.”
- Download.com (CNET/CBS Interactive)

With the rapidly changing landscape of the music industry, artists are faced with two choices – evolve, or fade away. Jade Starling, of the ‘80s group Pretty Poison, chose the former, and it’s put her right in the middle of today’s vibrant EDM scene.” - Arena.com

Have you ever wondered what the lead singer of Pretty Poison would be doing if she didn't have 80's hair? Well here is your answer, yeah, that's correct, I am a giver.

Enjoying a career resurgence that includes a celebrated return to the Billboard Dance charts, JADE STARLING is enjoying her highest chart numbers since her iconic classic hit “CATCH ME I’M FALLING” topped the very same chart in 1987.

Starling’s latest hit “Better and Better,” has risen to #3, marking her 10th appearance on the chart since launching her career in the 1980s as lead singer of the platinum group Pretty Poison“Better and Better” is the third single from Starling’s critically acclaimed solo debut album, CAPTIVE  (Subpeona/Tazmania/Universal)

Starling’s current success with “Better and Better” is especially notable as the only indie-label release in the Top 10.

“Sharing the top 5 with current superstars Kelly ClarksonIcona Pop and Demi Lovato is a major accomplishment for me” says Starling, who has managed to achieve this on a fraction of the promotional budget powering those superstar records.

“Better and Better was co-written with DJ Laszlo and Pretty Poison co-founder Whey Cooler. It features remixes from two of Dance Music’s most enduring legends, Stonebridge and Chris Cox, as well as festival favorite TavoJeff Retro (resident DJ at Las Vegas’ Hakkasan Nightclub), WKTU mix show team Cova & SteelDarulah (Romainia)Andy Sikorski (England), Mike Ferullo, Elektromind (Italy), and DJ Laszlo.

With her new found relevance, Starling is hard at work on a CAPTIVE ground tour which will launch in early 2016 and feature 3D technology.

Best known as the vocalizing half and award-winning songwriter of the platinum-selling duo Pretty Poison (#1 hit “Catch Me I’m Falling” on Virgin Records), the flame-tressed diva will be visible at a variety of venues and events in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia region this fall, including appearances at the Sands Hotel Casino in Bethlehem PA (Sep. 29th), All Things That Rock Festival in Philadelphia (Oct. 3 & 4) with Ace Frehley of KISSCarl Palmer of ELPLita Ford and more, and an appearance at the Westbury Music Fair (Oct. 30th) as part of the “Monsters of Freestyle” Halloween extravaganza.

Cheers To Kelly Clarkson!

Kelly Clarkson: Where's The Wine?
Photo: Michael Rozman/Warner Brothers 
Kelly Clarkson has always been the subject of ridicule about her weight. Even when she was on American Idol

Weight is such a boring subject and if it does not bother Ms. Clarkson why the Hell should it bother you? 

The Kelly bomb appeared on Ellen and got a resounding cheer from DeGeneres and the crowd, and didn't apologize about her gorgeous, curvaceous figure for one second. "I yo-yo," she said, "Sometimes I'm more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore, and then sometimes I don't and go, 'Nope, I'd rather have wine!'"

Hooray Kelly, when in doubt wine should always win!

T.G.I.F! Have a toast with Kelly at:
