-While the stunt of sending Kelly Ripa to Hawaii to promote the new Disney Hawaiian property is working on me, as it is truly making me want to go to Hawaii…I really want Kelly to come home.  It all feels so different when she isn’t in the studio.  I will say that yesterday, Matthew Morrison from GLEE was on and he was pretty good.  I didn’t love Kelly’s dress when she was hosting, but the dress she wore to Pearl Harbor was decent.  Her hair looked good in  both the live and taped segments, and still no sign of the hideous necklace.  Kelly really needs to eat…the dress she wore yesterday made her chest bones stick out, and  it wasn’t in a good way…

-The GLEE winter finale last night, left us with a horrible unexpected cliffhanger…SPOILER ALERT: Is Quinn dead?  Is that how they are getting rid of her for next season?  Will she have amnesia and forget all the songs from Glee club?  Everything was finally looking good for Quinn…she came to grips with giving up her baby, she got accepted to Yale and was even trying to get back into the Cheerios and now…this.  A lot of messages in this episode…don’t get married too young, don’t text and drive, teen suicide isn’t the answer…a lot to process really.  Pretty heavy stuff to shove in there when regional’s are going on.  Oh…I have an issue with Regional’s…how is it that there are only 3 teams?  Also, where did the extra Glee club members come from?  All of those extra girls??? What’s up with that?  Does Ryan Murphy think I won’t notice?  Some more questions…what was up with Kurt’s criss cross gray sweater, Blaine’s bow ties, The Warblers being not that great, and Sue being preggers? 

-Another emotional episode of JOAN KNOWS BEST…where was I when the Jason scandal was in the news?   Apparently Jason (whose last name is Zimmerman) was cheating on Melissa and allegedly had video webcam sessions, photo sharing on websites, and participated in Craigslist trysts with other couples...all of this was completely shocking to Joan, Melissa and ME!  Jason seemed like a good guy, putting up with all the insanity (different than LINsanity), coaching Cooper’s various teams and really being a part of the family for 3 years.  This huge revelation played out on last night’s episode which was unfortunately timed with Melissa’s friend Conrad’s  revelation that he is Jewish.  So in the midst of the Jason scandal…Joan throws Conrad a Surfing themed Bar Mitzvah that was a bit bizarre for a grown man but fun nonetheless which was probably what Melissa needed. 

-If Zoey doesn’t give Julia her baby on next week’s season finale of PARENTHOOD, I am going to freak out.  Julia and I have been on quite a rollercoaster this season.  First she tries and is told she can’t have any more kids, then she gets Joel to go with adopting and the pregnant coffee cart girl Zoey falls in their laps. (Are coffee cart people in offices a reality ANYWHERE?  Please let me know) We dealt with the boyfriend, all of it…and I was feeling good when they were together in the delivery room and Zoey tells Julia she loves her and then…BOOM…there she is giving Julia the I’M KEEPING HIM” look…tears, tears and more tears. Let’s move on to Crosby for a moment…Crosby is an idiot…we know this…first he screws up with his girlfriend and his brother by sleeping with Minka Kelly. Now that he is getting Jasmine back, the least he could do is sell the recording studio for however much more than the million that guy offered Adam and make it up to him.  We know that Sarah isn’t going to move to NY with Jason Ritter, and hopefully, Amber will win an Emmy this year and end up with Little Bob/Bob Little. 

-Did you hear that a producer from THE AMAZING RACE was poisoned and died in Africa?  Just read that one…

-Rachel Crowe, the little girl who was voted off X FACTOR early because of Nicole Scherzinger, shouldn’t really care much about any of that anymore…she just signed a deal with Nickelodeon for a recurring role on their new comedy series, FRED: THE SHOW.  If that all wasn’t good enough…Rachel signed a deal with Columbia records in partnership with Simon Cowell’s company, Syco.  Pretty sure she is going to be just fine…

-Comcast, GMC TV & entrepreneur/NBA Hall of Famer Earvin "Magic" Johnson are working together to launch a new African American network called Aspire.  That will showcase original and acquired programming including movies, documentaries, short films, music, comedy, visual and performing arts as well as faith/inspirational programs.  Johnson will serve as Chairman.  ASPIRE will go live this June and will be based in Atlanta.  Comcast's agreements for the other three networks include the previously-announced Revolt from Sean "Diddy" Combs and MTV veteran Andy Schuon; El Rey Network, serving the US-born Latino market from Robert Rodriguez, FactoryMade Ventures CEO John Fogelman and Cristina Patwa; and BabyFirst Americas from Constantino Schwarz.   
-Since the GRAMMY’s Adele, has sold an additional 730,000 albums…the power of THE GRAMMY’S…doesn’t hurt that she can actually sing and the album is amazing, all that heartache has completely paid off…wonder if she thinks it was all worth it in the end. 

-As most of you know…Linsanity has taken over NYC and MSG.  The last two Knicks games on MSG were the highest rated regular season events on MSG since they started tracking ratings in 1988.  Friday nights telecast delivered a 7.32 HH and Monday night’s game delivered a 7.34.  These numbers are amazLINg.  I have to say as fan and the Mom of a Knicks maniac…it’s fun to watch and finally one of our teams is winning! 

-Did some digging…Bethenny’s apartment was only 5MM, but they will need at least a million to renovate…so 6MM…still, seems low to me. I definitely thought that apartment would cost way more than 5MM. Bethenny was on WWHL and talked about her miscarriage and also another weird thing that happened to her from taking medication without water where she burned a hole in her esophagus…she is fine, and was very funny on WWHL Monday night.

-Wednesday’s Oscar Trivia Question: Which actor has hosted the Oscars more than anyone else but has never even been nominated for one?
