There will be no tea and crumpets for Martha Stewart.  The UK has denied her a business visa because she is a convicted felon…are you kidding me??  This reminds me of an incident last year.  (more…)

I felt like I lost someone I knew when I heard that we lost TV journalist Tim Russert on Friday.  I was totally shocked and saddened.  Watching “Meet the Press” on Sunday mornings was a rite of passage for myself and my Dad.  Sundays were “our” day together starting with a cup of coffee, the Sunday papers and “Meet The Press.”  They were followed by a good political conversation and usually a healthy debate.  I will miss those mornings as they will never be the same.  With one of the most exciting and historical elections before us we will all miss out on some of the best political news coverage anywhere on the tube.  Tim Russert you were a great journalist and an even better man. 
God Bless You.

Denise Richards and those wacky Lohans:

I couln’t help myself…I just had to tune for the new reality show “Denise Richards, It’s Complicated” and I am hooked.  The show is actually really good.  While Denise is completely self absorbed she is fun to watch especially when she interacts with her very modest father like when she discusses posing for Playboy.  As an animal lover I love watching her entourage of pets including several pigs which we have the pleasure of watching do the nasty.  I do not think she exploits her children in the least bit…Charlie Sheen is way off base.

On the other hand Living Lohan is beyond exploitive.  Dina Lohan (mother of Lindsay) is exposing her younger daughter Alli to a life in front of cameras that she clearly is so uncomfortable being in front of.  Insecure and shy she is not her older sister.  She may wind up in trouble like Lindsay though at this rate.  Dina is making bad decisions for her kids and her poor judgement as a parent will no doubt lead to more misery for them.  Shame on her.

…stay tuned.
