I'm a little annoyed that Barbara Walters is retiring from television before she has had the chance to interview me, one of the most fascinating people she'd ever meet.
The wife of Donald Sterling, the disgraced owner of the L.A. Clippers, has suggested that his controversial remarks against Magic Johnson and other affluent black people, recently made during an interview with Anderson Cooper, may be attributed to dementia. I guess that explains why they'd let him be interviewed on television without a handler.
The real drama on this year's Billboard Music Awards will come later; sources say Robin Thicke will perform a new song, Get Her Back, as part of his effort to save his marriage to estranged wife Paula Patton. Will continuing to publicly expose his vulnerability do them any good? Maybe he should consult Tori Spelling, whose marital problems are currently the basis of her new reality show, True Tori.
A 34-year-old Texas woman has been arrested for posing as a 15-year-old student for nearly a year at a high school in Longview, Texas, while also working shifts at McDonald's, and dating a 23-year-old man who thought she was 18. She did, however, maintain good grades and was regarded as a well-behaved student. But Ii don't think she'll be attending the prom.
Ever since the attention garnered by the interracial family in the Cheerios ad campaign, have you noticed more, very subtle interracial couples in TV ads? Among them, I've seen a black man standing next to a white woman while grilling hot dogs with another couple, and a white man walking alongside a woman of color with her mixed-race children. Note that in both cases, the men had no lines, they were just background. Ah, times, they are a-changing.
Clay Aiken is officially the Democratic candidate for North Carolina Congress, since his opponent died this week. I guess that's one way to win.
A man collapsed while drinking at a bar in Chicago. While his companion called 911, another customer knelt beside the victim, offering to help... and picking his pocket. While an ambulance rushed the man (who turned out to be okay) to the hospital, the thief stole $100 from the wallet and used it to buy a round of drinks for everyone at the bar. A look at the surveillance tape exposed the thief, who now faces up to 5 years in prison. See? I always said drinking was dangerous.
I can't help but chuckle when people waste a lot of air explaining that they don't have the time or energy or interest in lending a hand that was never asked to help in the first pace.
Note to Solange Knowles: if elevator music makes you that crazy, just take the stairs.
And now, a message that may be directed to someone in particular: Orange Is the New Black is the name of a drama production, not any indication that your skintight sunshine colored jumpsuit is slimming. I'm sorry.
