Dancing-with-the-Stars, Good Luck Chuck, What a Shocker


What a Shocker Tuesday Night. Chuck got Booted, Oh No!

He and Julianna had improved so much I really thought they would make it to the final 3.

What happened to the Country Music Fans?

I hope Melissa is well enough to continue next week or the loss of Chuck and Julianne will be even sadder.

Dancing with the Stars, Has Ty's time come.



Has Ty's time come.

We are getting down to the last 6 couples and more injuries.

Mellisa and Tony could not perform because Mellisa's hurt ribs prevented it.
If the people do not carry them in the vote then Mellisa could be out.

Ty and Chelsie really gave it their all last night but he is still very stiff. But he did get a little hip action going.

Shawn and Mark were good but not as good as she needs to be at this point. She has really grown up right before our eyes though.

Gilles and Cheryl's Lindy got raves from the judges but I just think he is so great in the Latin and waltz that the Lindy is not his dance.

Chuck and Julianne have come a long way and I think he can make it to the final 3.

Lil' Kim and Derek will be in the final 2. She is a little Power House of energy.

Tonight the bottom 2 in my opinion will be Melissa (but she could get the sympathy vote) and Ty.

It is really sad because all the couples are Great!

Daniel Craig as James Bond, is not HOT!



I know a lot of people think Daniel Craig is Hot as the new James Bond but I do not know that it is so much they think he is hot or that they just like all the action and computer generated scenes.

I am a mid 50's woman that loves action movies and just watched "Quantum of Solace" and I was really disappointed. It was awful.

I know he was suppose to have just lost the love of his life, that turned on him but gave her life for him. But "COME ON". This man has no gentleness, smoothness, or feeling. He is cold. He has none of the CLASS! that James Bond should have.

The writers seem to only care about the action for the 18-25 age group or for the video game revenue for the same action. It seems to all be about the money.

Well, they need to recognize that the older age groups are the fan base for the Bond movies and if they keep going the way they are going they will lose this fan base.

Bond is all about "CLASS!". He may have to race the bad guys, even kill a lot of them. But they respect him! This new Bond is losing all my respect.

I believe the writers can come up with Class, elegance, action and adventure. Why don't they? Is it just about MONEY?

Lindsey Lohan, where does she go from here.

The New York Post today has a story talking about how Lindsey Lohan has rediscovered Men and is out partying all night. Will she burn out again.

Well, maybe she is bi-sexual. She does not have to be exclusively male or female oriented sexually. She may not be a lesbian.

Lindsey does not seem to have much of a home life. It appears her mother is trying to be her and her father does not fit in anywhere and only tries to control her.

I think that Lindsey is just trying to find someone who will accept her for herself and not for the Hollywood hype.

Her breakup with Samantha Romson could be the final blow to the fragile self image Lindsey has of herself.

Maybe she needs to leave Hollywood for good. Find herself. Forget Hollywood. Learn to like herself. Then learn to love herself. Make a new life for herself.

It is hard to find someone who loves YOU for YOU if you do not know who YOU are.

Lindsey, I wish you the best and Please do not try to please everyone else. Just find yourself.

Dancing with the Stars April 20th Show.


Who do you think should go next?

I was watching Dancing with the Stars last night and the competition is getting fierce.

Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower put on a great dance and I thought the scores should have been higher for them. Ty really shows a lot of smooth moves when he gets to do the slow dances. Jewel should be proud of him. I wish we could have seen them competing against each other.

Gilles Marine and Cheryl Burke have got to be the leaders in this season. He has great extensions and is so sexy. All the women I know can't wait to see him dance.
Cheryl was concerned about his latin extensions but I do not think she had anything to worry about. He is Hot! even in the old swimsuit!

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani make such a cute couple and dance so well together.
The only thing I don't like is they keep putting the wrong makeup on her. Makes her look like a vampire. But she is a wonderful dancer.

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska have the biggest hurdles to get over. As the judges have said, he is just such a big guy that he looks awkward when he dances. He does not present a smooth step. He may be the one to go tonight.

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas keep improving and considering she had to miss so much practice I thought she did great. Even in the group that she missed the practice complete.

Lil' Kim and Derek Hough were a little off last night and I think it was only because they were down playing to the judges. They just need to go for it.

Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough are quite a couple. They have developed into HOT! dancer together. If they are as hot off stage as on, Go Girl!

Lawrence and Ty (both would be missed) are my bottom two. But then you never know what the fans will do so be sure to watch tonight.

BO is HOT!! Madoff is NOT!!


BO is hot.

We had a dog named Bo and my husband was not sure how he felt about the Obama dog being named Bo.

Our Bo died a few years back and we felt like no one could take his place but I think the Obama puppy is so cute that I am not upset about sharing the name with them.

Many of us know that animals add to our emotional and spiritual well-being. Many studies have shown having a pet is good for our physical health also.

We hope the Obama’s will love their BO as much as we loved ours.

The following article shows some of the great benefits from being pet companions.

Madoff is not.

The Manhattan courts have given investors the go head to go after Bernard Madoff’s personal property by forcing Madoff in to bankruptcy.

Victims of the massive fraud would benefit from a bankruptcy court’s “orderly and equitable administration of his individual estate,” the judge wrote.

The judge found that personal bankruptcy would be the best and only way to allow victims to go after “assets which are not the proceeds of his crime or forfeitable…property.”
