Legendary Hawaiian crooner Don Ho passed away today, at the age of 76. I was lucky enough to meet him back in 1991, and found him to be gracious and friendly and very kind. I’d always wanted to meet him, ever since he appeared on that episode of the Brady Bunch, and I’m glad IRead more about R.I.P. Don Ho[…]

After all the hype for Latin Music Week (JLo in da house!) you had to know there was no way the show could live up to it all. Sure enough: tonight’s show fell flatter than a tortilla. Melinda went first, singing “Sway” with all of the oomph and excitement of Applesauce Night at the localRead more about American Idol : Top 8 recap[…]

It’s official…Larry Birkhead has been confirmed as the father of Danilynn, Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daughter. Virgie Arthur, Anna’s estranged mother, has already declared her intention to fight for joint custody. Ugh. The circus continues…

Bye bye Gina….I was hoping this was Haley’s week to go home, but I wasn’t surprised. You alienated your rocker fans last night with that ballad. Bad choice!

Shandi and Brian: Trying hard this week to stay out of the “red light’ that bathe the bottom two (“It burns!” claimed the beauty queen). She’s sooo much larger than her partner, her arms always seem to be in the way. She’s certainly beautiful to look at, but she’s got an ungainly awkwardness about herRead more about Dancing with the Stars: Week 3[…]

This week, the guys are doing the Quick Step, the gals are tackling the Mambo. Apolo & Julianne (aka Ken & Barbie): They look great together, and their quick step had lots of energy and grace. As the youngest competitors, it’s no surprise that they held their stamina throughout the dance, and did a greatRead more about Dancing with the Stars: Recap Week 2[…]

Last night, I went to celebrate Elton John’s 60th birthday at his concert in Madison Square Garden. I’ve seen Elton in concert many times before, but this was by far the best one yet. There were a multitude of celebrities on hand, and we got to rub elbows with them thanks to a serendipitous twistRead more about Elton John at Madison Square Garden: What a Party![…]

Today would have been my father’s 75th birthday. I’m sure that he’s in a good place, surrounded by his parents and siblings, and all of our other relatives who passed on before him. He was diabetic for the last several years of his life, so I’m betting he’s having one heck of a sugary cakeRead more about Happy Birthday, Dad[…]

This show is such a guilty pleasure. I’m hoping that Heather Mills (Paul McCartney’s soon-to-be-ex) does a face plant tonight. Can’t stand the woman! I don’t care how much she’s done for land mine awareness and animal rights, she’s always struck me as an opportunistic witch. Feh! This season’s “Who the Heck Is THAT” awardRead more about Dancing with the Stars premieres tonight![…]

I’ll cut right to the chase: Brandon Rogers is headed home, and Sanjaya lives to see another week. UGH! I don’t know why they bothered to put Sanjaya in the bottom two…we knew there was no way he was going home.
