-Caught up on Monday night’s JIMMY FALLON which started off the week, as promised with 2 performances from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.  While that was great for Bruce fans, my favorite part of the show was this clip with Jimmy and Brian Williams “slow jamming the news”


As all of you know, I don’t watch the news, but I have always had a “thing” for Brian Williams since I met him years ago at a luncheon.  It would be fun if Brian stopped by my house to deliver pizza the night of Jimmy Fallon sleeps over…but I digress.

-Kelly was finally back home where she belongs and joined by Lucy Liu as her co-host on LIVE WITH KELLY yesterday.  Kelly was wearing another odd dress with a strange flap but Lucy wore a risqué chris cross dress that had some boob peekage…an interesting choice for early morning TV, but it was nice and way better than Kelly’s dress.  Kelly’s hair was back to normal and I am hoping that the hideous necklace was lost somewhere between New York, Hawaii and L.A. and won’t see the light of day again.  One can hope.  Poppy Montgomery was on the show and she was ROCKIN a gorgeous pair of red shoes.  Need to do some research to find out whose shoes they were, they were awesome.  Sorry no picture…

-Also caught up on Bethenny from Monday night.  Not much Jason in this episode which bummed me out a bit, but there was a really funny scene with Nick the extremely unattractive and awkward food blogger getting his eyebrows threaded on a falafel food crawl…only Bethenny could make that happen.  In addition to this lovely event, Bethenny is apparently pretty good friends with Hoda Kotb as during a lunch together we all learned that Bethenny was responsible for Hoda meeting her current boyfriend who she apparently is head over heels in love with. 

-I tried to use the new “amazing” CONAN app last night…I couldn’t get it to work.  If I have time and remember…I will try again.  In other news…I did Viggle everything I watched last night and I am almost over the 25000 point mark again!  That is 3 more free movie tickets!

-COUGARTOWN was so funny last night, we finally learned a bit about Tom the neighbor who is in the window all the time.  He is apparently a neurosurgeon, has 2 kids, and his last name is Gazillion!

-JOAN & MELISSA are staying busy to keep Melissa’s mind off the big breakup.  But now that Jason is gone, Melissa needs a lot of help with her son.  So instead of a Nanny…Joan offers to help.  They have a psychic come over and the psychic has them both pick animal cards…of course…Joan picks a beaver and I laugh for the rest of the show at all beaver references because that’s the kind of 12 year old humor I like.  Say what you want about Joan, but she is strong for a 79 year old woman.  She carried Cooper’s surfboard, cello and 4 trays of catering…

-Last but not least the perfect PARENTHOOD season finale.  Lots of storylines wrapped up, lots of crying (by me, not the cast) and lots of opportunity for next season.  Here is where we netted out:
1) Jasmine and Crosby got married in a backyard ceremony that looks like it took a month to plan not a week
2) Crosby and Adam made up and didn’t sell the recording studio for a boatload of money so no idea how Adam and Christina are going to afford to send Hattie to Cornell but I am betting she opts to stay “closer to home” (unless she was cast in another pilot or got a movie deal or something better than this amazing show)
3) Awesome guest appearance and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS inside joke, when “Billy” Crosby’s drunken bff that we had never heard of before, turns up for best man duty.  He didn’t have the last name “Riggins” but it was him nonetheless
4) Drew and his girlfriend “do it” at the wedding
5) Zoey actually shows up to say goodbye and take the baby, but in a surprising twist, the adoption agency drops off what appears to be an 8 year old boy named Victor
6) Amber asks Bob Little/Little Bob for her job and only her job back and of course he agrees
7) Zeke and Camille are super proud of all of their kids (I think that Crosby is their favorite)
8) Sarah and Mark (John Ritter’s look alike son) break up and then get back together at the wedding when Mark proposes…that was the cliffhanger ending…we never got Sarah’s answer
GREAT SHOW…GREAT SEASON…thanks Jason Katims…

-For anyone that missed the hilarious Post Oscar JIMMY KIMMEL special, ABC is re-airing it on Thursday from 9-10p.  I definitely think you guys should watch it…it was really good

-I tried to hold off sending yesterday’s WWTM until the names were announced for DANCING WITH THE STARS, but it didn’t work out.  So I am sure you guys all know who will be dancing, but just in case you missed the list:

Jack Wagner-Frisco from General Hospital, see trivia question and Heather Locklear’s ex
Melissa Gilbert-Half Pint
Donald Driver-Green Bay Packer
William Levy-model and big star in Cuba
Sheri Shepherd-One of the women of THE VIEW (how is she going to do it all?)
Katherine Jenkins-Opera singer
Gavin Degraw-Pop singer
Martina Navratilova-Tennis player
Roshon Fegan-on the show SHAKE IT UP on the Disney Channel
Maria Menunos-host of stuff
Jaleel White-ERKEL
Gladys Night (no Pips)-awesome singer

- Time to upgrade your IPAD…Apple has announced an event on March 7 in San Francisco, which according to all indications will be the introduction of the iPad 3. So for anyone getting rid of their IPAD 1’s or 2’s…let me know…in this case I will make an exception and except sloppy seconds.

-I was not surprised at all when I read yesterday that the GLEE cast has joined the list of the top 10 selling digital artists of all time with over 32 million songs digitally downloaded in the US.  They are 8th at this point, but depending on how long the show stays on the air…they could definitely move up the ranks.

I don’t watch IDOL…gave it up to watch THE VOICE, but I did see this clip this morning and this is why you have to love Steven Tyler…he did bring up the alleged J-LO Oscar night nip slip incident…of course J-LO still denies it but let’s face it people…we know we saw it…I would just own it if I were J-Lo…”yeah so…I slipped a nip” done.



-Now that awards season is over… E! is definitely THE winner as their web traffic increased by 11% in terms of uniques; 23% in page views; and 22% in video views. Across online and mobile, but excluding apps, E! Online generated 156 million page views for the three days surrounding the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Grammys, of which 118 million happened online and 38 million on the mobile web. The website also generated nearly 40 million total on-site and off-site video views during those core red carpet days.  Got say it…congrats E!
