Gayle is starting out the week and getting us through the day…but really, all we can think about is Oprah’s Big Surprise! Gayle’s going…but first things first.

About the Space Shuttle Launch – It happened this morning and yes, Gabby was there to see it happen. 8:56am this morning. Amazing still after all of these years.

About Chaz Bono – Inspiring and unforgettable is the documentary, “Becoming Chaz.” Find it on the OWN network…it’s an amazing journey and Chaz has shared it with us through this film. “After seeing the documentary, I felt such compassion for what you’d been through,” Gayle tells him. Here’s a little from that interview, thanks to OWN for sharing!

About weddings and Carley Roney from TheKnot.com – With the new film, “The Bridesmaids” coming out this weekend, Carley and Gayle are chatting it up about some of the crazy requirements brides have for their bridesmaids. Too funny….been there….but still…may take a look at your book, “Bridesmaids Bill of Rights.”
