Feliz Navidad!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Love to you and your families and may the new year bring happiness and peace.

Straight No Chaser = Beach Boys (sort-of)

Thanks for the wishes

And, to share, one of the best...

Cuban Beans

The Nanny Senator?

Now, this year has been loopy in politics. Really. Loopy. However, this might just take the cake. Fran Drescher wants to take Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate seat!

Actually, there is nothing more to say. It's the best Hollywood-political comparison ever made.

"She went over the bridge from Flushing to the White House door. She was there to sell make-up but Schumer saw more. She had style. She had flair. She was there! That's how she became the Senator!"

Et tu Brute?

Just because she happens to be one of my favorites, Sarah Palin was on CNN.com today not because she splattered herself on every television. Oh no. This time she was mentioned because McCain can't say whether he would support her in the 2012 Presidential bid. Ha!

Not that I am entirely surprised. I mean, would you want to support Palin if you didn't have to? This confirms, however, a sad truth about her candidacy. She really was a Barbie push. I mean, if her Presidential counterpart cannot say post-election that he would support her run for Presidency, why would we believe he did during the campaign?

Much like those bad Hollywood break-ups, it seems McCain doesn't want to pay alimony.

The Windy City

Just when you thought you'd seen the last of the corrupt, Chicago politician, laundering and lying strike again! Today it was discovered that the GOVERNOR of Illinois, Rod Blagojevic, was trying to SELL Barack Obama's senate seat. WHAT?! On God's green Earth...

Now, this seems to be a classic case of "What was he thinking?" Did he think he wouldn't get caught? Did he think no one would notice? That no one would leak? Did he think if he appointed himself to the position that no one would find it suspicious? (Slaps forehead).

Oh, and to add insult to perjury, he is back at work Wednesday (sans passport)...

Funny enough, this happens in Hollywood, and no one bats an eyelash. Actually they get a comeback tour or a book deal. Hmm...

Oh no... he didn't

I am currently watching Made on MTV. (Lose the judgment.)

And the 50s hep kid wants to become a hip-hop dancer. His dad says, "He's a young Republican. Maybe it would help him to be a little Democrat. A little Barack Obama."

Yes, he did.

Prop 8: The Musical

Yes.... they did it. Hollywood and Broadway came out in unison!

Keep it snappy, keep it happy, keep it gay!

The Front Page

Today I saw the front page of the New York Times, and the photo astounded me. There they were, President-elect Obama and (gasp) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an almost embrace, and there were no weapons, verbal or otherwise, involved! If you had asked anyone 18 months ago if this was possible, people would have scoffed and said, "Oh, Hillary will never play second fiddle!" But, there it was, on the cover of the NY Times.

Now, in keeping with my usual and somewhat mad pop-political comparisons, this seems like the Spice Girls reunion. Follow me here. Ginger Spice gets kicked out of/leaves the group, and Posh Spice becomes an international sensation. Then, the reunion tour comes, and Ginger can no longer be front and center the entire performance. The fan base now wants Posh, but Ginger still participates in the tour. Why? Oh darlings, it's simple. Who could blame her?

Fame. Money. Fans. Power. And a stadium full of supporters. Sound familiar? Except Ginger wore funkier clothes.

If you wanna be my lover...
