She came trailing a raspberry for worst performance of the year in ALL ABOUT STEVE. But no one was blindsided when she took the stage for best performance (THE BLIND SIDE) of the year: Sandra Bullock pulled off the historic dual win with uncommon grace, honesty, and humor as she clutched her Oscar and named [...]
OK Here we go! It's the night I've waited for all year, every year, since I was old enough to know who GRETA GARBO was--did I mention we share a birthday? Yes. It's true. I'm 105 years old. HEREWITH MY PREDICTIONS in the top six categories for the 82nd annual OSCARS this Sunday night on [...]
Today, I along with millions of viewers saw the remarkable Roger Ebert on Oprah, and heard his voice for the first time in over 3 years. He has been unable to speak as a result of countless cancer surgeries over the last 8 years. I am still so overcome by the humanity of the guy [...]
The Winter Olympics are over and I am astounded at how much better they were than I thought they'd be... even CURLING, which I found out is not a sport for hairdressers on ice. How swell that the US brought home 37 medals, and I am truly glad that the gold for Hockey went to [...]
I spent this weekend at Foxwoods--NOT GAMBLING; instead, I listened as singers gambled on a shot at the big time: the chance to win the grand prize on COMMUNITY AUDITIONS, New England's oldest and Emmy-award winning talent showcase! I am the center judge, but more like Simon than Paula. We just kicked off the new [...]
It's unavoidable in light of today's big news conference. But I MUST blog about TIGER WOODS and how irritated I am at the notion that he thinks anyone besides his family, and perhaps his business associates(since this hurt his business) requires an apology--privately. I certainly don't, and neither does that idiot man on the street [...]

If you haven't seen it, you are in for a visual treat. In either case, it's simply lovely. Just go to this link: https://www.artgallery.lu/digitalart/women_in_art.html More later.. [...]
THIS JUST IN: Malaria killed King Tut! No kidding. The latest forensic tools have revealed this info, and it was just made public today. It may be the oldest cold case on record. What a relief--I thought it was his cat allergies. And speaking of cats--have you heard of "chatroulette"??? When I first saw that [...]
Today I was up for it: tackling my insurance companies, and cleaning the litter boxes. These tasks have a lot in common. They both require wading through loads of crap with only a burning resolve to clean things up, and a strong stomach. After a good night's sleep and a dark cup of coffee, I [...]
'Tis time to tweet. To wit, that's what they tell me. So I twittered my first tweet, and what do you think happened? Nothing. Something is amiss in the twittosphere--it kicked me out. And then in. And then back out. It never fails; whenever I try to do something technological,that everybody else has no trouble [...]
