Hump Day & Chill

Pride Unicorn
Lucy Hale

Today's Hump Day & Chill moment is brought to you by the Supreme Court because of it's ruling to protect LGBTQ Civil Rights and my pick as mascot for it, Pretty Little Liars Lucy Hale as the Pride Unicorn.

While I don't quite understand why someone not getting fired for their sexual orientation was even up for debate or needed a Supreme Court ruling, I am glad the end result was on the right side of  History.

This was a bright spot in what has otherwise been a, needless to say, challenging year. Combine this with the Pride Unicorn and we have a Hump Day & Chill Pride Celebration going on!

So kick it today with your favorite Adult Beverage and celebrate the LGBTQ Supreme Court victory. Isn't it awesome that it happened during Pride Month?

"Yes" it is!

Walking In LA...

The Air That I Breathe
Lucy Hale

How's your quarantine going? Are you keeping your social distance y'all? Well something truly wonderful has happened despite how gnarly this is...the air quality in Los Angeles has been clean for weeks now.

That's correct minions, when go outside for a walk, run or whatever I am truly getting 100% verified fresh air! 😲

In fact it's so great outdoors these days I take really long walks, I'm kind of at loathe to go back indoors. Bare witness to Pretty Little Liars Lucy Hale, that smile on her face after exiting the grocery store isn't for naught. She, like me is vibing on the good clean air. I'm telling you it's real and it's spectacular.

In fact as soon as I exit the lap top I'm gonna go out and snort me some.

Mic Drop!

Today's "Tweet"

Twitter Poster Girl
Lucy Hale

With a mere three more days until Halloween I thought it was time for another edition of My Favorite Celebrity Costumes!

Today's honor goes to one Ms. Lucy Hale. Star of one of my all time favorite TV shows Pretty Little Liars. She also starred in the horror movie Truth or Dare. 

Lucy is dressed as the Twitter Logo which scored with me as it is one of the more original ideas I have seen for a Halloween costume. Not to mention how cute she looks in the get up.

Thus today's "Tweet" is only three more days until the most wonderful time of the year -Halloween.

"Yes" that is going to be my "Tweet" fall in line ghouls!

When Lucy Met Hillary

Got A Secret?
Lucy Hale & Hillary Clinton

As you all know I am a big Pretty Little Liars fan, and I totes can't wait for Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. 

So as you can imagine I did a total WTF?! Double take when I saw this photo of Lucy Hale and Hillary Clinton together at last on the WWW. 

That's correct minions one of my favorite young actresses from a show I am a fan of, and the person I voted for in the Presidential race together for one brilliant moment in time. My inner teenage girl has been satiated right here right now.

As the story goes the two "bumped into" each other at BeautyCon in NYC. How's that for a random encounter.

No word on whether they exchanged beauty tips or not....

Mic Drop!

Reunited

Ezria
Ian Harding & Lucy Hale

This one is for all of you Pretty Little Liars fans out there, like me. Lucy Hale posted a photo of her and former co-star Ian Harding with the caption: "Look who I found in Chicago" this past Sunday on her Instagram, meaning yesterday.

As all you fans recall they played the hopelessly romantic couple Aria Montgomery & Ezra Fitz, or the couple formerly know as Ezria.

While I miss the show that wrapped after it's seventh season nine months ago. It was time for it to end.

But fear not PLL fans a spin-off The Perfectionists with "Liars" Sasha Pieterse & Janel Parrish is in the works! Yay!

Why Not? Lucy Hale

Smile, It's Contagious
Lucy Hale

While browsing the WWW to what did my wandering eyes did appear, but Lucy Hale minus the eight tiny reindeer. 

That's correct minions, Lucy aka Aria Montgomery of Pretty Little Liars and the upcoming CW show Life Sentence has that post Christmas glow. You know the one you get when it's over, yet you are satisfied? Like the cat the swallowed the canary, a pig in the mud, the...well you get the picture.

Looks like Lucy had fun exchanging gifts with her friends. Hope you did with you and yours.

Christmas comes but once a year, however this year we need to keep the spirit going, seriously think about it, but not too much.

Happy Hump Day!

The End(Game) Is Near

1

The Secrets End Tonight!
l-r Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pieterse, Lucy Hale & Troian Bellisario

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!

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!

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...!!!

Things That Make You Go Shhhhhhh...

Got A Tattoo?
l-r Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pieterse,
Lucy Hale & Janel Parrish  

The final season of Pretty Little Liars is already wrapped and ready for it's eagerly anticipated April 18th premiere date, yes I said eagerly anticipated premiere date, don't judge me. What's a "Liar" to do after seven successful seasons? Why commemorate the show with a tattoo of course!

Where are they?! What are they?! You beg to ask. Well being as the show is about secrets and keeping them and the iconic opening credits show all the "Liars" wagging there Shhhhhhh finger at you to keep your mouth shut, each of the cast members got the the first letter of the name of their respective characters tattooed on their, what else, Shhhhhhh finger, naturally.

That's correct minions Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario, Lucy Hale, Janel Parrish and Sasha Pieterse got themselves a tattoo artist to inscribe their pointer finger with the first letter of their character from the shows first name. How could they not after all "A" has put them through?!

Enjoy the photo above of all the girls sharing their pseudo matching tatts, because sharing is caring after all.

Puppy Love, Lucy Hale

When Lucy Met Elvis

Pretty Little Liars Lucy Hale recently introduced her 14 Million Instagram followers to her little white fur baby, Elvis. Posting several photos with captions like:

'I realize I'm becoming the annoying dog girl but seriously ?! He's so cuddly and fluffy and sweeeet'

She also made a fashion statement by accessorizing Elvis with a pair of overalls pictured above saying:

'Taking overalls to a whole new level with Elvis.' 

Being a huge Pretty Little Liars fan and having a soft spot for adorable little dogs I just had to post this

It's the dog days of summer after all...Happy Saturday!

No word on whether or not Lucy plans to train Elvis to do the Jailhouse Rock as of yet.

Pretty Little Liars: #SaveHanna

By now most of you should know that Pretty Little Liars is one of my favorite shows. Despite all of it's implausibilities it is sharply written, well acted and with engaging story lines and characters.

At the end of season six big liar Hanna went missing, kidnap to be exact and perhaps...dead?

OMG! I hope not I love Hanna as does my niece Shauna Waters. We would both be truly upset at her demise. 

Suspiciously Hanna portrayed by Ashley Benson, is absent from the smoking hot teaser art for season seven, as is one of Alison's, played by actress Sasha Pieterse, legs. 

OK, I can get the Hanna tease, but WTF? with Ally's leg? When did she become an amputee? Foreshadowing or bad photo shop? Other than Hanna's fate that so far is the biggest mystery of the upcoming season. 

The season seven premiere bears the title: " Tick-Tock Bitches," how rude! It kicks of with those lying women frantically trying to turn back time to a day when Hanna was still around and Uber "A" was not inside their heads.  

Join the "Liars" and my inner dork on June 21st at 8 pm on Freeform. 

So many lies, so little time at:

Unhappy Ending With Lucy Hale

Do I Look Happy?!
Lucy Hale

Pretty Little Liars is back, five years after the torture "A" aka Charlotte DiLaurentis and guess who turned up D-E-A-D in Rosewood? "A" got out of the nut house and someone killed her ass!

Obviously this will be the central mystery (with a lot of sub plots happening) for the seventh and rumor has it, final season of the show. 

What did I think you ask? I loved the five year forward jump. It added much needed new life to the show. While I would never abandon my "Liars" the switching things up move proved to be awesome! Kudos to the astute writing.

How will it all end? Out of the mouth of Lucy Hale aka Aria Montgomery comes this bold statement:

"I used to say, oh I want the girls to end up happy and live an A-free life, but I kind of want it to end really tragically," Hale shares. "I want people to be really upset, like they've lost something when the show ends, because I know that my favorite shows have ended that way, so a tragic ending. I'll just leave it at that." 

Bingo! I have to get with Lucy on this comment. Cheers to an unhappy series finale!

Got A Secret..?

Pretty Little Liars
Hits Paleyfest

With the Pretty Little Liars winter premiere set in the not too distant future, but distant enough for those of us (ahem, me!) who are fans of the show, January 12, 2016. The "Liars" recently took to a panel discussion of the show in NYC for Paleyfest, which takes place at the Paley Center for Media and bills itself as "the ultimate TV fan festival."

It not only hosts the stars of the show, but the creators as well. Everyone who works hard to give you an evening of entertainment on your favorite shows all in one place, yes!

Joining in the chat about what's to come on PLL, as the kids call it these days, this season were: Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Sasha Pieterse, Joe Dougherty, Oliver Goldstick, I Marlene King and moderator Andy Swift.

The fan boy in me wishes I could have been there! But I am sure we will get teased with tantalizing bits of information plenty between now and January 12. 

Buckle up PLL fans it's going to be a bumpy 2016!

TBT: Pretty Little Liars "A is for Answers"

Everybody Run, Hanna Marin Has A Gun!

With only one more episode to go until the Big "A" reveal it's time for another Throwback Thursday Pretty Little Liars post.

This still is from Season 4 Episode 24 bearing the title "A is for Answers." 

I'm really not sure if anything got answered in this one, but I have always wondered why Hanna never shot "A" and how she learned to brandish a gun like that.

Yes, I find Hanna's behavior, especially of late highly suspicious. She has gotten real tough and edgy behind bars and does not seem all that phased by any of it.

My niece Shauna Waters agrees. She doesn't want the big "A" to turn out to be Hanna because she loves the character so much. Me I personally would love it to be her, it would take the show to a whole new level of entertaining.

What's that you say? Oh, yeah Hanna's in jail and they keep showing a shadowy figure at the end of each episode doing sinister things. Well they did introduce a character who goes by the name of Varjack, who is not necessarily "A," perhaps it is them we see, hmmmmmmmm?

Just a thought.

Shauna and myself are probably wrong about Hanna, but honestly isn't her behavior getting less flighty and more calculated? Just sayin'.

Lying is fun! at: https://www.facebook.com/prettylittleliars

TBT: "Pretty Little Liars" Pants On Fire!

Like, Duh!

I have decided to honor Throwback Thursday on this blog starting, like, today...

My first TBT post is an image from one of my favorite TV shows Pretty Little Liars season deux episode six.

My niece Shauna Waters and I are obsessed with it. Our thing? We text each other weekly about it and give our theories on who the big "A" is.

That being stated even if it does not turn out to be Ally, she is still not a very nice person. Check out the posted image.

What keeps this show amazing to moi? Keeping it real. Even though a lot of the situations are crazy and out there, they are balanced with a nice blend of real life situations and the characters respond to all the twists and turns as real people would.

Pure entertainment should be believable even when the situation is not.

Hats off to all the great actors, writers & producers on this show!

Me and Shauna will keep obsessing until the very end, but please let us know who the big "A" is ASAP!

PS - I also love the many Alfred Hitchcock references.
