For many years I would watch Larry King do his show on CNN when I was not interested in the drivel on primetime network TV. I always thought that Larry was a good host and that he asked very interesting questions that would draw out the guest. I was sorry to see him retire – I even watched his last show and got choked up at all the people who participated in the tribute.

Now Piers Morgan has taken that slot on CNN. He is a very good conversationalist. His style is very different from Larry’s, and that is to be expected. I watched his first show with Oprah and learned a lot about Oprah that I did not know. I missed the Howard Stern interview, but tonight the guest is Condoleezza Rice and I am enjoying this interview very much.

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.”
