Tables sure turned on "The Bachelor" Brad Womack
I’ve blogged about “The Bachelor” before, yet after the finale last night I feel compelled to put my two cents in again. The tables certainly turned on Mr. Fear of Commitment as he obviously has fallen head over heels in love with his final rose recipient, Emily. The story about Emily’s life before Brad is...

Saturday Night Live still funny ten percent of the time, maybe
Last night as I watched the opening monologue of SNL, I found myself actually belly laughing.

Why Toddlers and Tiaras should be called Toddlers and Tantrums
I recently came across the TLC television show, “Toddlers and Tiaras”. I had already been visually assaulted a few times by another disturbing show, “Little Miss Perfect” but found myself more agitated at this one. All I could think of was that this was the worst display of bad parenting I had seen in a... Read more »
Charles is definitely not in charge, particularly when it's Charlie Sheen
If anyone ever had any question as to Charlie Sheen being in charge of his “faculties”, wonder no more. Monday as I listened to his interview on The Today Show I could not wrap my head around his rantings. Last night as I watched him on 20/20 I was downright baffled. Here is a man... Read more »
