Holy Sharon Tate!

Margot, Sharon, Margot, Sharon
l-r
Margot Robbie & Sharon Tate
As all of you know I am a Margot Robbie fan - and as one can imagine this image of her as Sharon Tate from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming flick Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has me over the moon!

Here is the synopsis for the tale....

"A faded TV actor and his stunt double embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Helter Skelter reign of terror in 1969 Los Angeles."

While it is set during the time when Tate was tragically slaughtered by the Manson Family, the above description is vague and doesn't really give any sort of a hint, or theory even as  how this fits in the film.

Ya know what? That's OK by me, all I know is Robbie eerily evokes Tate in the above image, they are doppelgangers

"Yep" sign me up, I am so down with going to see this, I'm ready!

I like tacos and having my butt smacked

Had dinner with my BFF Brittney last Thursday @ El Coyote. Was then informed we missed the anniversary of Sharon Tate's last meal there by a day. The more you know.

I had 2 items in the 10 items or fewer line. Got behind a guy who had considerably more than 10. I cut in front of him and said "Have anything to say about that?"

It's Christmas Eve, What Are You Doing?

Be Very, Very Quiet. I'm Hunting Toons!

For those of you not in the loop, my Birthday is exactly one week before Christmas, "Yes" it is December 18th, "Hi" I'm Michael Shinafelt and I'm a Sagittarius.

I turned 50 this year. Yeah, I am a half a century old and still kicking ass! So how I am celebrating this evening?

Continuing my well earned status as a survivor of Generation X by celebrating my Birthday even more. It started last week with an awesome excursion to Disneyland courtesy of Rhonda Bernstein. With co-stars Eric Bernstein & Angela Simone.

Seguing into the actual date with my BFF Brittney Alexander at the legendary El Coyote. The place where famed Hollywood starlet Sharon Tate had her last meal.

And so it continues into Christmas Eve with Scott Jacobs. Featuring Wine & Cheese and Frivolous Fuckery!

Shout out to Erik Rimmer!

Simply having a wonderful Holiday Season!

Paging Madonna: For "Valley Of The Dolls" Remake



Madonna: I Am Helen Lawson Hear Me Roar!
"Boobies, Boobies, Boobies" - Neely O'hara "Valley of the Dolls"

Rumor has it that 20th Century Fox are courting Madonna to play the indomitable aging diva Helen Lawson in a remake of "Valley of the Dolls." 

Given the infamous quote above spouted in the original by Patty Duke as Neely O'Hara and Madonna's obvious affinity for the role, the Big M is a dead on choice for Helen...Here is the 411!

The “new” Valley of the Dolls, will have a decidedly different “spin” on the original with L.A.’s music business being a big part of the story, particularly with the Neely O’Hara character (Patty Duke) the up and coming star who makes it big and has a major fall from grace. One of the writers of the new VOTD is Paul Rudnick, who did the “First Wives Club” and “In and Out." There will be a dark comedy aspect to the film.

Actresses on the “A List” for this movie are Anne Hathaway, perfect as the prim Anne Welles, Jennifer Lawrence as Jennifer North (the fallen Angel played by Sharon Tate) and Emmy Rossum as Neely O’ Hara,  and producers are lobbying hard to get Madonna to play the aging Broadway star Helen Lawson, a role intended for Judy Garland in the original movie.



Lindsay Lohan: I'm Neely O'Hara!

I love all the choices especially the one of  Jennifer Lawrence, one of my favorite actresses who would be dead on as Jennifer North. But if you really want to make this happen I would personally cast Lindsay Lohan as Neely O'Hara, no offense Emmy Rossum, just sayin'....
