OK — I don't mean to brag but… How close was I to Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck performing at Madison Square Garden?
5th row center gets you this shot!
And…also got me shockingly yanked from behind by my collar by security who told me I was pushing it when I snuck up this close with my iPhone. LOL. Imagine?
I had a blast feeling 20 with my fun Divorced Dad Date who generously invited me to one of the greatest musical events I've ever seen! A Total WOW. I'm someone who appreciates genius in many forms and this was the guitar version of OMG. Their entire playlist was special but we were especially appreciative of these guys taking an old classic — my mother's favorite ,‘Moon River’ — and bringing it to life their way. Go figure. Just amazing.
I'd be lying if I said I don't love watching Charlie Sheen in "Two and Half Men". I'd also be lying if I said I was surprised to hear about Charlie's recent domestic violence and subsequent arrest in Aspen on Christmas Day for threatening his wife with a knife. It was easy to visualize him playing that role too.
You see, leopards don't change their stripes, and wives sometimes get amnesia in daylight.
The reports said it all started when Brooke Mueller, mother of twin baby boys, told their daddy Charlie Sheen she wanted a divorce. Some Christmas present. If you’re Charlie's girl, that gets you an hour of physical torture.
Yes, Charlie's got a dark side. Brooke knew it and married him anyway. Trade off. The upside? She hooked a sexed-up superstar actor with loads of cash and gave birth to twin mini-Charlies. The downside? The half of Charlie where he pins you to a bed and puts a knife to your throat. It wasn't the first time, according to the 911 tape.
My 2010 diet of choice is the green tea diet I read about in Woman's World Magazine. The gal in the photo lost 7 pounds and 12 inches in a week without giving up her favorite foods. The new diet requires the equivalent of 9 cups of green tea a day and a stack of Depends if you’re on the road. A combo of green tea and a green tea supplement seems more prudent.
I’m to aim for a 900mg daily dose of "catechins", the active ingredient. One cup of green tea = 100mg of catechins, thus 9 cups = 900-mg. Hmm. I sped over to my local GNC.
At GNC I analyzed the green tea pills, the green tea extract in the dropper, and Jackie Chan’s XTRAGREEN beverage mix with 8X more anti-oxidants than regular green tea. Three "Jackie Chans" a day = 900 polyphenols and 300 mg EGCG. Sold!
On New Years Eve I will be wearing red underwear and sleeping with a cabbage leaf. You'd think I could do better with the red underwear and all, but hey — I'm banking on 2010 to be a better year.
According to my “legendary'” socialite gal pal from Texas, Jeanette Longoria, if you want love in the coming year, wear red panties on New Years Eve. If you want to ensure money all year long - wrap money in a cabbage leaf and put it under your pillow on Dec 31st. If you want both - well then do both. I'd just be a little careful not to confuse where the two items go as things might turn out very differently.
Why should we listen to Jeanette? At 82 she's still hot, hotly involved, and lives like royalty.
Speaking of royalty, she once took two heads of cabbage with her to Morocco when she spent a New Years Eve with the King. She swears everyone in the Palace was clutching a cabbage leaf at the stroke of midnight that year. As far as I know, money hasn't been a problem for the Kingdom since.
Now that we all know what we shouldn't — that there's been a Tiger in just about every tankini — Elin Woods and her kids are off to Sweden. So what now?
Lots of anger and depression and humiliation all around… enough to make a mother-in-law collapse. She did.
Though you wouldn't know it by his golf acumen, Tiger Woods is huMAN. So let me comment on the huMAN angle.
Ask any man who has lost his family to a fling and he'll probably tell you he deeply regrets it. He had few regrets at the time it was happening — when he thought he had figured out the best of both worlds.
For all the negative commentary on marriage being an “institution” that's been likened to prison, most men don't like going life alone.
Women are much better at it.
Married men like having their families to return home to after being MEN all day. They love their children and home cooked meals and their couches and their cozy wives. They need it. It's just that some of these men can't eliminate the excitement of sex with strange women.
I can finally walk again as of yesterday — its been about 3-4 weeks since I Kickboxed myself into an MRI. I don't understand it really, because the first 197 of the 200 kicks went just fine.
I was so thankful I didn't need surgery. And I was actually thrilled to instead find out I have arthritis in my left knee and a Bakers Cyst — both doable.
Next: The cash funds that were taken fraudulently from my bank account two weeks ago by some unscrupulous person who managed to steal my identity and purchase everything in Target in Elmhurst, Queens will be returned “shortly” after the investigation is finished. "Shortly" being the operative word here.
Thankfully there are good bottles of wine for $8.99.
Next: The nice girl driving the huge Ford van from the local group home who crashed into my parked Jaguar last night as she was pulling out of the parking space next to me was really sorry — probably sorrier that I happened to walk out with my sausage stuffing at the exact moment she was hoping no one saw.
I’m looking for a hotel chain here in the US. who wants to save marriages. That’s right, we’re talking about a “prevent-a-divorce” package. I just read that a Malaysian state government says it plans to offer free honeymoons to save the marriages of couples who are on the brink of divorce. Love it!
So should some smart hotel marketing executive who reads my blog.
This version of Bed, Bath & Re-Bond might just do the trick to give couples some intimate space to remember why they fell in love in the first place, and maybe keep a few families from embarking on the divorce highway.
Ashaari Idris, a government official in northern Terengganu state, says troubled couples will be allowed to spend two nights at the state's scenic islands or beach resorts to help them rekindle their romance under a "Second Honeymoon" program. However, couples who enroll in the program must also undergo counseling.
Love it! A perfect First Wives World joint venture with…
