Plead the Fifth

I'm gonna run through two episodes of Watch What Happens Live, mostly because I finally caught up on the After Shows today. They're splitting them up into three parts now! Boo! Come on, Bravo, give us one video for the After Show, please!

Anywhoo ... Monday night's guests were Camille Grammer sporting a side-pony and Anderson Cooper sporting major shade-throwing skills! He hated on the Kardashians, Kim Richard's boyfriend, Kim Richard's shiny neck-bow-tie top in her interviews, oh and he almost worked a Shake Weight. No joke. Camille was cute and likable, and she could hardly contain her laughter when Andy and Anderson (ooh, that sounds like a show in itself) would get into their witty banter. Sandra Bernhard made her first appearance on the show with her "Sandrology" segment, which was funny - but only if you like Sandra's style. She makes obscure references and has a bit of a sarcastic sense of humor, so if you're not a fan of hers, you're most definitely not going to like the segment. I liked it, I got most of her references, although I still have some googling to do, and I think she's funny. And, of course, they played Plead the Fifth, which I think should be a staple on this show from now on. The After Show was awesome, so make sure you check it out here. Everything was discussed, including Kelsey Grammer's claims that Camille cheated first and her friends Dedra and Nick (the one she kissed on the lips on season one) make an appearance.

Last night, Robin Thicke and Katrina Bowden (of 30 Rock) were on, and I have to admit it was a little boring. They played a game where they had to guess whether the photo they were looking at was a child's toy or a sex toy. Kiiiinda gross. Robin Thicke was a lot more fun than I thought he would be - I know he's a singer, but I haven't listened to his music - but he was playful and randy and fit right in at the Clubhouse. Katrina was just ok for me, she was a little too shy, so that kind of killed the vibe a little bit. Robin imitated his dad (Alan Thicke of Growing Pains) and he sounded EXACTLY like him! It was hilarious! The After Show was pretty good, so check it out here. We hear more from Robin Thicke regarding his marriage to hottie Paula Patton, his work with Nicki Minaj, and whether he wears underwear or not. Told you Katrina was boring!

2012 is HERE!

I hope everyone is having a great year so far! I really enjoyed all of the NYE programming this year. To be fair, I have a special place in my heart for CNN's coverage with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin, so of course, that's always my favorite. And it was even better this year, because Kathy strutted around in her bra for us - but didn't swear AT ALL - which made for a very giggly Anderson, just like I like him. Lady Gaga's performance on ABC's Rockin' Eve (can they come up with a better name, please?!) was AMAZING! We got Heavy Metal Lover, Marry The Night, and Born This Way. I loved it. And her outfit for the ball drop??? OMG ... 2012 will be another year of Gaga domination. I'm telling you. CeeLo Green doing "Imagine" was oddly touching. I was impressed. I even checked out MTV's NYE special, and Demi Lovato's performance was the highlight for me. On NBC, The Roots killed it, not once, but twice. Those guys are ridiculously talented.

I guess I should tell you what my "resolution" is - although it's not much of a resolution, it's more of a declaration. I plan to take every single opportunity and do something with it. I plan to put myself out there with everything I have and let people see what I have to offer. I plan to team up with the best and the brightest I can find to make something truly magical happen. It's really up to me to change my life, and starting this blog almost a year ago was the first step. I want to thank every single person who has ever read my blog, because each of you gave me the encouragement to keep on writing.

Let's make 2012 an amazing year. Oh yeah, and screw the Mayan calendar. This year, it's not the end. It's just gettin' started!

Body and Soul - Remembering Amy

Hello, friends.

Please go to iTunes and buy the "Body and Soul" song and video, which is Amy's last recording - a duet with the legendary Tony Bennett. It's a beautiful song and video. The proceeds go to The Amy Winehouse Foundation. The song and video were released today, which would have been Amy's 28th birthday. So please, support this cause and remember Amy today.

I loved the video, although it's short, it's so moving. Amy looks happy, playful, and I must say a little reserved. Maybe self-conscious, even. She's wearing a pink, gray, and black argyle sweater-dress, and her hair and makeup are on point. She looks healthy. And she's doing what she does best - sing an amazing song.

I wish she was still here with us. I hope we all appreciate the days we have with our loved ones, because we just never know when the unthinkable may happen.

Before I go, I just want to mention the great show Anderson Cooper did with Amy's family and loved ones this week. If you haven't seen it, there are clips on his website: http://www.andersoncooper.com.

We miss you, Amy, and we will always love you.
