Rosie’s New Show and Madonna’s New Vows

Rosie O’Donnell is headed back to TV. A little more than a year after she got into a wicked war of words with her fellow co-host on ABC’s “The View,” and subsequently walked away from the daytime chatfest, the outspoken actress turned craft queen is closer to sealing the deal with NBC to star in her own show. According to reports, execs at the peacock network are game to give O’Donnell a chance to strut her stuff on a series that has been compared to “The Carol Burnett Show” and “The Ed Sullivan Show.” O’Donnell’s primetime deal is not set … Continue reading →

Donald Trump Looking to Make Ladies from Tramps

And he’s starting with Miss Ashley Alexander Dupré a.k.a. former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s call girl. I know what you are thinking: Trump + Dupré = The Perfect Match. Well, it’s not a done deal yet. According to insiders, Donald Trump is courting the 22-year-old prostitute to star in his new MTV reality TV show (now that “The Celebrity Apprentice” is over he’s got to have his hand in something). The yet-to-be titled series is being produced by Trump’s company and was picked up by MTV for eight 60-minute episodes. The show is reportedly based on a British series called “Ladette … Continue reading →

Donald Trump: “I Quit!”

In what is being dubbed as a preemptive strike, real estate mogul turned reality TV star Donald Trump is not giving network executives at NBC the chance to fire him because—-he quit. Within hours of discovering his low-rated reality show “The Apprentice” was left off NBC’s new prime-time schedule Trump issued a statement that said he intended to “move on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate. Frankly, I find the entire situation rather hilarious. Here you have a network unveiling its new TV line up, Trump sees it, realizes his show didn’t … Continue reading →

Cute Adult Rugby Shirt for $3.99 at The Children’s Place

Did you know that The Children’s Place also sells adult clothes? Well, a few pieces, anyway. These rugby shirts came out in sizes for the whole family. The idea was for matching outfits. Apparently, they sold more children’s than adults because the adult ones have been marked way down to only $3.99 from $24.50. My favorite one is the one that’s pictured here. It reminds me of Joseph’s coat of many colors! You can get a matching or contrasting scarf for another $1.99. They still have sizes left in children’s and adults, so for less than $8 you can be … Continue reading →

Crocodile Hunter’s Legacy Lives On

ABC’s “The View” is on now and I just heard Rosie O’Donnell mention that her 6-year-old son (a dedicated Steve Irwin fan) hasn’t gotten into the water since The Crocodile Hunter’s death last month. Apparently, Rosie took her kids to Florida and while the rest of the family swam in the ocean, her son Blake stayed dry–too afraid to plunge into the warm waters for fear he too may be bit by a stingray like his hero Irwin. Perhaps Rosie’s son will benefit from the work Irwin’s 8-year-old daughter Bindi is undertaking to ensure the memory of her father—and his … Continue reading →

Bible School Songs Every Child (and Adult) Should Know

I love Bible school songs. The songs are simple, yet the often have a powerful meaning. There are several Bible school songs that I think every child, as well as every adult, should know. If you do not know the song, and want to learn the song, ask other members at your congregation if they know the song. Or you could google the song on the internet – I am sure that there are listings of the words as well as the tunes of these songs. This is a list of just a few songs I thought about. I really … Continue reading →

What Will Katie Wear?

It seems like just yesterday that Katie Couric was bidding adieu to fans on what would be her last day as host of NBC’s “Today” show. Now we are just hours away from her debut in the history making role as the first female solo anchor of a nightly news program. It’s being called it “the most talked-about debut of the fall television season” and CBS couldn’t be happier. In preparation for Couric’s debut on the “CBS Evening News,” the network gutted its newsroom on Manhattan’s West Side this summer and built a new one that houses Couric’s set. In … Continue reading →

Picking the Perfect Bed—Children

In my previous blog: “Picking the Perfect Bed—Adults,” I admitted to the mistakes I made in shopping for a new mattress. This blog deals with the issues that arise when shopping for a bed for your child. When searching for the “perfect” bed, most parents take into account the size of the child, the size of the room and, of course, price. Meanwhile, most children are looking at other factors, mainly, comfort, style and (if you are lucky) practicality. Naturally, you are going to want to take your child’s opinion into consideration and ideally you will find a way to … Continue reading →
