Good morning to a great week! The air is crisp outside, there’s a slight breeze and the smell of the holidays is in the air. One Starbucks Peppermint Frap down and I’m ready for the holidays! So let’s get on with it. Good morning Gayle…fill me in…
•About Ali Wentworth – Ali stops by and I just want to grab a cup of coffee and sit down. Gal pal extraordinaire, she tells it like it is and is someone who you just know is comfortable being her authentic self. So, what do two confident women talk about when they sit down? Hello…just stuff. Here are the topics of the day: Justin Beiber and “the story,” Kim Kardashian’s 72 hours…I mean days in, and Lindsay Lohan’s In and Out privileges. It’s all good. What would make it better? Ali on OWN. Give me an hour of Ali a week on OWN and I will be wrestling my sister to the ground to blog on it. (OK…not really wrestle…but I will be fighting her for it.)

•About Chelsea Settles new MTV show – A young woman’s reality show on MTV is moving to be less about her weight loss journey and more about just her journey and about her. Answering a casting call on MTV, she just put it out there…and MTV came calling. Gayle talks about the weight, the weight loss and the show of self discovery. Chelsea is just joy…and I can’t wait to find her show on MTV. Tuesday nights on MTV. Sweet, nice and smart.

•About Say Yes to the Dress’ Randy Fenoli – Author of the new book, “The Dress,” Randy shares his passion for not just bridal dresses but for life. The world “beautiful” is being thrown around and I’m beginning to just love Randy. “Everyone is beautiful…” he says. And his flair for helping brides find the dress to make “HER” statement is what it’s about. Educate, elevate and empower. That’s what Randy is looking for. Educate the world. Elevate the world with self confidence. Empower yourself! and if you are like minded like me, take that $32,000 that you might have spent on a wedding dress and educate a 3rd world country. Just a thought…

•About the new LOGO series, “Bad Sex” – With Chris Donaghue, the “go to guy” and sexual specialist, is on today talking about a new show, “Bad Sex.” “My goal is to help people feel better with the sex that they are having,” Chris says. “Most couples are struggling with that…and it’s about getting comfortable communicating…” Educating, helping, moving people forward. Interesting…I’ve never heard of Logo TV…I’ve heard of bad sex…but not the TV show. Interesting…and great that self-help can be found on television…
