Okay, have you heard the latest? ” Jennifer Aniston ended relationship with John Mayer because of his Twitter ‘obsession’”? I mean really - what is the world coming to?

One of my gal pals sent me the link to this amazing insight of the Jen & john’s torrid break-up over the ever so popular Twitter.

According to the The Teleagraph, Ms. Aniston is in a sniffle about Mayer and his twitter obsession - Hmmm Twitter obsession, Mayer is a man after my own heart.

Well Ms. Aniston - my message to you is good riddens to bad apples, reach up and pick another apple off of that ole apple tree.

Dear HBO,

You know I love you but what’s going on? What have you done with “True Blood”?

I have always admired your daring sense of taste and style in original programming.

I discovered my inner tramp with “Sex in the City”, worked out my urge to murder with “The Sopranos”, faced my fear of death with “Six Feet Under” and gained an understanding for why a man needs three wives with “Big Love”. So please or please tell me why you are denying me my God given right to explore my need to be a creature of the night with “True Blood”?

I can no longer handle the suspense and must know now, when does the next season of “True Blood” start? Give me a hint! Go on and tease me - just tell me, you are bring my “True Blood” back to me.

According to Reuters- “President Barack Obama has apologized for a gaffe in which he described his bowling skills as akin to participants in the Special Olympics, a sports program for people with intellectual disabilities.”

Are you wondering what I am wondering? Is Obama going to be the late night humor replacement for the ever so intelligent President George Bush? I hope not, I like Obama and want to continue my ever so yummy love affair with him (don’t let him know, it will spoil the fun).

So the story goes like this, while being interviewed by the charming Jay Leno, Obama describes his bowling skills as such, “It’s like — it was like Special Olympics or something,”. I guess his PR folks didn’t prep him before hand.

Now Obama did apologize - but you know what they say about hindsight, ” You should never need it”.

Natasha Richardson has passed, and her family has asked for privacy, so I am going to keep this short and sweet.

I have always enjoyed Natasha Richardson work and I am one admirer who will miss her work.

Okay - I must have missed something or maybe it’s just my expectations were too high due to all the hype around the show - but boy, what a let down. I rather of scrub to a shine a cement floor than have spent the two hours (it was an eternity or at least it seemed like one) watching this ROTTEN TOMATO.

The only redeeming quality of “Kings” is Christopher Egan as the heroic David - now there’s a looker, you know where he can eat crackers anytime - wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

So in a nutshell here’s my 2 cent summary of what NBC was hailing to be the best thing since sliced bread.

Egotistical man, King Silas is running Gilboa and is at war with Gath
Gath takes Gilboa soldiers as hostages
Egotistical man says about the hostages “let them eat cake”
Egotistical man finds out his son is one of the hostages - now who is “eating cake”
Young hot abitious stud plays hero, David and saves egotistical man’s son unknowingly…or does he?
Egotistical man is forever in the stud’s debt and offers him his Kingdom
Stud seems shy, quite, reserve (yeah right, we all know that’s going to change if “Kings” makes it pass the 3rd episode)
Stud says “Aw shucks, I don’t want anything”
Sexy young thing in red evening gown enters - but you can guess who she was
You got it egotistical man’s daughter - I guess stud wants King Silas’s Kingdom after all

As you can see, the plot of “Kings” is not really exciting unless you like brain dulling daytime soaps.

NBC get with it and give us some intelligent programming or at least something with more complex, characters with depth.

My recommendation: Don”t bother with “Kings” you have better things to do, like watching paint dry.

Oh, did I mention, “Kings” is based on the Biblical story of King David.

Good thing I came out from under my rock. I can’t believe I had not heard of “Lisa Hannigan” until she appeared on “The Colbert Report”.

I am one lucky girl! Can you imagined if I missed watching my nightly “sarcasm love-in” with Mr.Colbert? I still wouldn’t know who “Lisa Hannigan” was and would not have sprinted to my local music store to pick up her debut album “Sea Sew”.

I absolutely love ” I Don’t Know”, one of the many refreshing songs found on “Sea Sew”.

While doing a little late night channel surfing I happened upon reruns of a show from the 70’s, “Love, American Style”. Now I am not sure if you have ever heard of it or watched it - but I have to tell you, I laughed and laughed until my sides hurt, and still couldn’t stop laughing. Even now, while writing about it, I am chuckling to myself.

“Love, American Style” premiered September 29, 1969 and was
a compilation of vignettes filled with the perils of relationships, love and yes, that very dirty, dirty word…..you know the one “SEX”

I think with a little promotion “Love, American Style” could be an instant pop-cultural hit. So how about it T.V Land….how about a little “Love, American Style” rehash?

Most anyone who listens to Wisconsin Public Radio has, at one time or another, heard the voice of Jean Feraca. As host of WPR’s “Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders,” she is advocate and educator, an expert at mixing international issues with culture and aesthetics. An example of the program’s diversity can be seen in any random week’s schedule: this week features the presidential election, climate change, travel for women, love sonnets and natural aphrodisiacs.

Now, Feraca has turned her craft on herself with “I Hear Voices: A Memoir of Love, Death and the Radio.” She traces her own life and craft through a collection of personal vignettes, retrospectives that consider the people who have shaped her and her journey to become a writer. The end result is a vivid, often haunting autobiography that unites a fascinating life with a voice gifted enough to provide all the details.

Sunday nights will never be the same. - Airing on Showcase at 10 PM, “United States of Tara” is a must-see for anyone who is juggling the many faces of being a woman (isn’t it all of us girls?)

Okay, so Tara is a suburban wife and mother of two, who just happens to have  Dissociative Identity Disorder. When life’s little stresses get to be too much for Tara, one of  her alternative personalities comes to the rescue.

In the opening pilot we meet “T”, a spunky 15 year old who takes over for Tara when Tara finds a prescription for the morning-after-pill in her daughter Kate’s things. Later “T” tries to seduce Max, Tara’s husband whose conscience will not allow him to accept the offer - Oh, and he has promised not to take advantage of Tara’s alter egos.

I like “T” and cannot wait to see more antics she will  undoubtfully get up to.

We also get to meet “Buck”, a gun-loving, ultra redneck, male, who surfaces after Tara witnesses Kate arguing with her goth boyfriend - I wonder what Tara’s husband Max, thinks about Buck

Who knew suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder could be so much fun - visit back next week to read the “dish” on episode 2
