Carly Simon returns!

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Working girls may have missed a rare interview with Carly Simon this morning, compliments of TODAY's Kathie Lee Gifford (yes, she's back on the airwaves) and Hoda Kotb. The occasion was the release of Simon's new album, "This Kind of Love," and she riffed with the girls on Manolo's, the record business, kids and Winnie the Pooh.

Test your geography I.Q. (in private)

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

I never cared for that game show, "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" I watched it once and recoiled in horror at how many questions the contestant couldn't answer. "How mortifying to be so easily one-upped by a ten-year-old," I thought to myself. "And how badly would I be humiliated if I went on the show?" That's why I love Traveler I.Q. Challenge.

Patti LaBelle in her prime

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

It was March of 1975. My two college roommates and I were on our way to New Orleans in my Volkswagen Beetle for a Spring Break adventure. Our plan was to drive all night but by 3 a.m., everyone was dangerously close to nodding off - including me, the driver. Suddenly, "Lady Marmalade" came on the radio, again, and we were good to go the distance.

Friday, May 30, 2008

Since when has it been a crime to wear a nice pair of heels? To hear the prosecution against Carrie Bradshaw, leader of the "Sex and the City" pack, you'd think that buying $400 shoes was the moral equivalent of clubbing baby seals.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Most couples have stories that get told again and again ... but sometimes the memory can supply togetherness that wasn't there in the original event. Perhaps Jackie O is to blame.

That's how she rolls

Thursday, May 8, 2008

Oh, thank God that I'm not invited to Jamie Lee Curtis's 50th birthday bash. And I use that word loosely. If you define bash as getting together with the neighbors for egg-white omelets and protein shakes, then, yes, it's a bash cuz that's what our girl is planning. Oh! Make mine Metamucil! Or not.

Shift in audience shows cracks in 'Idol' future

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

The median age of an "American Idol" viewer, once in the mid-30s, is now up to 42. And - horror of horrors - viewership is actually UP this season among people aged 50 and over. Those are the folks many television tastemakers pretend don't exist.

Dance if you're 'Glad!'

Saturday, April 26, 2008

We know that an inanimate object can't actually be happy, but that seems unimportant while watching an inflatable tube man dance in the wind to the tune of Cream's "Glad." ... In fact, we might have been inspired to groove along.

She sees you

Friday, April 11, 2008

Cubo.cc is one of those Web sites that have no real point ... yet. Who knows what they'll do one day with the techniques used to make it look like a photorealistic woman is intently following our every move of the mouse?
