Life 101 – Sleep Fighting

Falling asleep is sometimes darn exhausting isn’t it? Watch this cute tot who is either really tipsy or just plain drunk. Not really. I think he’s trying to get comfortable. And it’s adorable. Too bad when I’m trying to get comfortable at 3 a.m. it’s not quite as cute. Is Ambien, the twenty-ten Calgon? Ambien, [...]

Gossip! – Liza Minelli Single Ladies

The venerable Liza with a Z Minnelli will be performing Beyonce’s wildly popular “Single Ladies” in the movie Sex & the City 2, which opens (gasp) Friday! Here’s her wobbly version of the song… I love me some Liza, but um, not so much. How many of you will be breaking out your Louboutins and [...]

American Fun – Glee Goes Gaga

Forget Lost! It’s so yesterday. Set your DVR’s for next week’s “Glee” Gaga episode, acoustic “Poker-Face” included! While the original Queen of Pop may have turned down a chance to appear on the show, I hear Lady G will make a fabulous entrance and each character will get their own Gaga garb. This calls for [...]

American Fun – Glee Flash Mob

I am crossing my fingers that this will happen to me: I’ll be standing in the middle of NYC and I’ll hear the opening strains of Glee’s (Journey’s) hit, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Suddenly, dozens of people stop checking their Blackberries and break into synchronized dance moves. More and more join the dance, and suddenly I’m [...]

Holidays – Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the 1862 battle between the victory of an under-manned, under-armed Mexican army against Napoleon III’s well-fortified French Army led by Napoleon III. We in America use it as an excuse to drink margaritas (Here’s a yummy recipe) and dance the salsa (Here are the basic steps.) Celebrating 5/5 in the U.S. [...]

American Fun – Oh, Betty!

Holidays – Mother’s Day

Don’t forget it’s Mother’s Day week. You’ll want to find a way to appreciate the good way YOU turned out and thank your mom. She probably had a lot do… as Cher and Raquel explain. Ideas that will make Mother’s Day Magic: Fancy-up flowers (put flowers in unconventional containers like watering cans, crockery, and coffee [...]

Dinner Party Talk – Telephone

Trust me. This is a MUST WATCH and you better catch it quick before the U.S. Military shuts it down. Here are our troops in Afghanistan doing their version of Lady Gaga’s Telephone. Even though I think Gaga’s Telephone video is genius (but naughty), this video by our troops warms the heart. It’s uplifting to [...]

American Fun – The Prom

Each spring 16 million teens take part in quite possibly the most widely shared of all modern American traditions: the high-school prom. Emblazoned in our memory as the first adult thing we ever did, we vividly remember the moments as if they were scenes in a movie. Nobody ever forgets the name of his or [...]
