I think Katy is the cutest thing and the most fun singer out there. I love her outrageous costumes and sassy attitude.

I think her hubby was wrong to take this photo of her with no makeup and a very unflattering pose, then put it on the internet. That is like bullying in my mind, and that is not what a loving husband would do to his wife.

But even in this photo, I think she is beautiful. I am sure she would prefer to be seen with her makeup on and her hair done, but there is nothing wrong with how e looks without it. I love Katy, with makeup on or off!

Movie lines always stick me with long after the movie ends. Sometimes I remember a couple of key lines better than the names of the actors and actresses.

I watched Under the Tuscan Sun last night. It was absolutely intriguing to follow the main character through her healing process or rebirth by moving to Italy on a whim. One of the lines that I really like follows the main character’s discovery that a man who was blatantly flirting with her is married. Her friend reassures her, “Flirting is a ritual in Italy. Just enjoy it.”

Wow – twenty years ago there was a terrible helicopter crash in Wisconsin and Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed. I was just a little kids, but I remember my mom and dad talking about it, in hushed tones. They were really upset about it.

Now that I know more about music and great guitar players, I can understand the impact of his death. Stevie Ray was a great guitarist and his story is intriguing. He had beaten his addiction to drugs and was on an upswing in his career and personal life and then got killed in a freak accident. What a terrible shame.

Q. What radio show did Ernest Tubb begin broadcasting from his Nashville record store in 1947?

A. The Midnight Jamboree – now the second longest running radio show in America (second only to the Brand Old Opry.)

Usually I am fast asleep by the time Craig Ferguson comes on the air, or at the latest I’m asleep right after his monologue. I love the Craig Ferguson show, but it comes on so late, that I just cannot stay awake long enough to watch the whole show. But tonight I am wide awake – and Craig Ferguson is not on over the weekends. Darn the luck!

It seems like we are being slammed with commercials by drug companies, especially for Lupitor and Chantix. The style of commercial is a testimonial by a typical user talking about how much their lives have been improved since using the product. The companies are using non-Hollywood types to do the testimonials and are even putting a small disclaimer on the screen that these people talking “are not actors.” Right. They might not be members of the actors guild, but I am sure they are reading a script and getting paid for their appearance in the ad. In my book, that makes them actors.
