Gayle King just averted a crisis as the men on her staff go into a panic….her bra strap was falling and showing… Crisis averted…. too funny. Anyway, the show is packed with potential. Jay Pharoah from SNL and Esperanza Spalding, Grammy’s best new artist are in the house! But first….let’s talk about what’s going on in the world…or at least in Gayle’s world.
About Apple’s IPad 2 – Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, showed up for the big reveal to show us the complete new design…and it will be available on March 11th! Just in time for my birthday. The “tablet computer” from the Taco Bell building – Apple’s original building was in my home town…and looked exactly like you would think Taco Bell Headquarters would look like.
About Aretha’s health and losing weight – What happened? Gayle wants to know…but Aretha Franklin is not confirming what the problem has been….but that she is in recovery and has lost a lot of weight -85 pounds in the last eyar. A pain in her side was the first sign that something was wrong. Let’s just hope that the pain is gone…and Mrs. Respect is on her way to lots of healthy days!
About the Supreme Court Ruling about Westboro Baptist Church picketing funerals – The Westboro Baptist Church appears to be full of hate with picketing funeral services for dead soldiers. I’m not sure of the motivation…or what drives anyone would do something like this. However, the Supreme Court rules on laws….not on common sense and decent behavior. “The right of free speech has to be protected,” was the ruling.
About Mickey Rooney and Elder Abuse – A victim to elder abuse by his stepson. “If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone,” he says. I do understand how this happens…and it makes me sad.
About Charlie Sheen …again – Gayle, I’m proud of you that it has taken over 11 minutes to bring him up! Charlie is talking still about fighting for his kids…and allowed the kids being taken away from him to be filmed. Hopefully, this will sober him up real quick.
About Jay Pharoah – A new face on SNL who brings great impressions! From Virginia with attitude, Jay sent in an audition tapes…got a test…and passed! “I was 6 years old when I knew I could do impressions,” he tells us. He pulls out the impression of Denzel Washington…and its crazy funny. OMG, then he does Eddie Murphy. So funny. “Your impressions are dead on,” Gayle raves. Here’s his recipe – study voice, mannerisms, and practice… He’s funny…and is definitely an up and coming star.
About Brigham Young University star basketball player, Brandon Davies, dismissed by violating the honor code – Brandon Davies admitted to having sexual relations with his girlfriend… and suffered the consequences by being dismissed from the team for the season. Is BYU out of touch with society or should they be applauded? You know…Mormons are serious about their honor code… I think that you have to ask the BYU school population what they think…because if an honor code just promotes people hiding their sexual encounters… well, then there is not much honor in it.
About Northwestern Professor, John Daly – The professor invited his students to observe a non student naked woman being stimulated with a motorized sex toy on stage. Show – rather than tell. Wow…that is pushing the envelope. It reminds me of a Professor in college discussing open sexual relationships and saying, “It’s like eating the same meal night after night. Instead, some nights you might want steak…other nights, you might want spaghetti.” College does make you open your mind and think….about many different things. Motorized and on stage or not.
About Best New Artist, Esperanza Spalding – Featured in O-Magazine in the issue, “Woman on the Rise.” People have not been the most loving since she won the Grammy. “I hope this has not dampened your winning the Grammy,” Gayle tells her. “No, that’s not what we do this for. We don’t do it so people will write shining reviews on your website,” Esperanza articulates. Congratulations. Gayle showed a little clip of her performing at the White House….and OMG, she sounds wonderful. Definitely my next music purchase…
About Serena Williams on her health scare – She as rushed to the hospital because of a pulmonary embolism. OMG. It can happen to anyone…even those in incredible shape too!
About The Royal Wedding website just launched…. For all things Royal Wedding. I bet Gayle already has the site saved to her favorites! P.S. Gayle is still looking for a date with an invite!
About Justin Bieber’s hair – Sold for charity for $40,668. Donated locks…for an animal rescue charity. Nice…grow some more fast! Save the world!
