There is a new viral movement on the web. It is to get Betty White on SNL – as a host! And why hasn’t she been on there? Lady is hella funny! Especially compared to some recent hosts, i.e. Megan Fox. If you want to join the movement you can. There is a page on Facebook for it. Check it out at Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!
Did you watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? I put it on my DVR and watched it after the fact. I did that so that I could fast forward through commercials and boring speeches! If you didn’t see it, you may be wondering who the female winners were.

Supporting actress – motion picture: Mo’Nique for “Precious”
Actress – TV series comedy or musical: Toni Collette for “United States of Tara”
Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical: Meryl Streep for “Julie & Julia”

A lot is being said about Adam Lambert’s AMA performance. He is getting a lot of crap for it. He says there is a double standard. That women have been doing performances like that for years. And you know what? I agree with him. Why is it okay to have women perform in the manner that he did? It should be okay for all.
Well, it’s that time of year. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. And that means one thing to me. The Macy’s Turkey Day parade! I love watching it each year. I recently found the Macy’s parade lineup online too. I’m kinda shocked that Katharine McPhee is in it this year. I wonder why? I am pretty stoked about Cyndi Lauper though! sweet! And Gloria Gaynor! Woo hoo for disco in the parade!
Booked a room at a Radisson hotel for tonight. My special requests were a non-smoking room and foam pillows. Drove through a torrential downpour to get to the hotel. Only kept driving cause I had pre-paid for the room. Upon arrival I was told that they only had smoking rooms available. Major FAIL for Radisson. And of course they do not have a money back guarantee. NO MORE RADISSON HOTELS! EVER!
