       I.M BACK.  STEVE IS  BACK BUT  JILL IS STILL  GONE.  IT'S OUR ANNUAL AUGUST BREAK FROM EACH OTHER.
     AMY MURPHY WAS IN  THIS WEEK.  HER FIRST TIME.  WE ALL LOVE AMY AND JUST TO CLEAR UP THE STEVE /AMY/ CHEERLEADER HAIR ISSUE (I USE THE WORD  ISSUE O TO ANNOY STEVE HE HATES THE OVER USE OF THAT WORD).  STEVE  DID SUGGEST AMY WEAR HER HAIR IN A PONYTAIL...NOT SO THAT SHE WOULD LOOK LIKE (HIS FANTASY OF) A TEXAS  HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADER...BUT SO THAT SHE WOULD FEEL MORE CASUAL AND  COMFORTABLE AND RELAXED
   


 YOU GET PRETTY RELAXED AFTER 2 WEEKS OFF!  WE WENT TO THE CAYMANS...THEN  TO FLA TO SEE THE GRANDMA'S.  ON GRAND CAYMAN THERE  IS A SANDBAR CALLED STINGRAY CITY.  YOU CAN HANG WITH HUNDREDS OF STINGRAYS,  YES I REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO STEVE IRWIN ..BUT YOU FEED THEM SO THE RAYS ARE VERY FRIENDLY.  TOO  FRIENDLY THEY RUB UP AGAINST YOU LIKE A CAT

.

      NASH WENT DIVING WHICH IS GREAT  BECASUSE WE HAVEN;T BEEN  SINCE WE HAD HIM.  FIRST WE TRIED THIS CRAZY UNDERWATER THING CALLED SEATREK.  YOU PUT A NASA LIKE HELMET ON AND GO DOWN 25 FEET,  HE LOVED IT SO WE DID SOMETHING CALLED SUNBA.  YOU DIVE BUT THE TANK STAYS ON TOP OF THE WATER.  WE DOVE A SHIP WRECK (WHICH I HAD NEVER DONE). IT WAS CREEPY BUT NO ONE DIED ON THE BOAT...THEY SAT IN A BAR AND WATCHED IT SINK.   IT'S SO PEACEFUL UNDERWATER (MAYBE CAUSE I CAN'T TALK DOWN THERE!)



   
THEN IT ALL WENT TO HELL. THERE'S A LITTLE TOWN CALLED HELL.  HOW IS IT THEY DON'T GET OUR SHOW   IN HELL?




    MONDAY JILL IS BACK SO YOUR VACATION FROM THE 3 OF US IS OVER.

       STEVE HASN'T BLOGGED FOR AWHILE...BUT I SAY "OH MY GOD" BECAUSE HE SAYS THAT'S HOW EVERY WOMAN STARTS EVERY SENTENCE.  HE GOT IN TROUBLE THIS WEEK FOR SAYING  SOMETHING ABOUT "A TYPICAL WOMAN".  JILL GOT TICKED (TYPICAL).  BUT AS STEVE SUGGESTED  IN HIS RARE (AND I MUST SAY VERY SHORT BLOG...IT'S MORE LIKE A PARAGRAPH) ... HE'S BEEN GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR 13 YEARS.
     EVEN AFTER 13 DANG YEARS PEOPLE STILL ASK ME "WHAT'S THE SHOW REALLY LIKE?'"  PLEASE...YOU SEE WHAT THE SHOW IS REALLY LIKE.   WE (MOSTLY) ENJOY EACH OTHER...WE STILL LAUGH LIKE FOOLS AT EACH OTHERS JOKES.  ONCE OUR BOSS( AS A FORM OF PUNISHMENT) MADE US WATCH THE SHOW...WE LAUGHED AGAIN AT ALL THE STUPID JOKES (FUNNY NO ONE ELSE IN THE MEETING LAUGHED).  I ACTUALLY CRIED BEFORE JOINING THE SHOW.  I WAS WITH MY HUSBAND IN ROBINSON'S ( IT WAS THAT LONG AGO) BUYING A COFFEE POT THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ME COFFEE AT 3:15AM. I SAW MY  (NIGHT) LIFE GOING AWAY  AND I CRIED.  IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PUDDLE IF I HAD KNOWN WE'D STILL BE HERE  THIS 13 YEARS LATER.
    I STILL (MOSTLY) LOVE AND APPRECIATE MY JOB.  AS I HAVE SAID ON THE AIR (TOO MANY) TIMES I  DO GET SICK OF ALL THE NEGATIVE SH--.  THE TRASHY STORIES CAN BE FUN BUT AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF IT I DO FEEL IT'S TIME TO CLEAN IT UP A BIT.  THE PRODUCERS NOW LET ME ( CAUSE I CRIED...AGAIN I CRIED) DO ONE POLITICAL STORY IN THE 8 AM HOUR.  WHEN THEY SAID I COULD DO ONE MEASLY MEANINGFUL  STORY   A DAY (AFTER 13 YEARS OF CRAP)  WHAT DID I SAY?  I SAID  " OH MY GOD".

I'M WATCHING HILLARY AND BARACK TOGETHER AGAIN ...FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY ARE IN UNITY NEW HAMPSHIRE...BETTER THAN BATTLE CREEK MICHIGAN. LESS THAN 2 THOUSAND PEOPLE LIVE IN THE TOWN...6 THOUSAND SHOWED UP TO SEE THE TWO OF THEM. THEY WERE ACTUALLY LAUGHING TOGETHER AND SHE ALMOST FELL OFF THE STAGE. HILL LOOKS VERY CHILL...VERY RELAXED SINCE SHE GOT OUT. BILL IS STILL CRANKY. BILL IS (REPORTEDLY) STILL ANGRY AT BARACK...AND HE MAYBE TAKING IT OUT ON OPRAH. OPRAH AND BILL WERE BOTH AT THE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR NELSON MANDELA. THE NY POST SAYS BILL IGNORED OPRAH. OPRAH...OF COURSE...SUPPORTED BARACK. SO HILL WILL CAMPAIGN FOR BARACK...BUT WILL BILL? BARACK IS HELPING HILLARY RAISE THE MONEY SHE STILL OWES FROM HER CAMPAIGN. SO MAYBE THAT WILL EASE SOME OF THE PAIN. (HE FEELS HER PAIN?) BARACK AND HIS WIFE EACH GAVE HILL 23 HUNDRED DOLLARS (THE BIGGEST DONATION YOU CAN GIVE). NOW FOX NEWS SAYS BILL AND HILL JUST GAVE BARACK A DONATION. NOW THEY ARE KIND OF... SORT OF... NOT REALLY... EVEN. I THINK HILLARY IS SAYING HEY BARACK IF I GIVE YOU 2 THOUSAND WILL YOU HELP ME RAISE 20 MILLION?

I SAID I WAS GOING TO BLOG ABOUT "TABLOID TONY" TODAY. TONY PUT EVERYONE ON THE SHOW (AS NISCHELE WOULD SAY) ON BLAST TODAY. HE SAID NISCHELE DRIVES A BIG GAS EATER...RICK DICKERT PUTS REGULAR GAS INTO A CAR THAT NEEDS THE FANCY STUFF CAUSE IT'S A LEASE. LISA BRECK HASN'T BLOGGED IN 2 MONTHS. LISA SAYS TONY IS WRONG AND SHE WILL BE BACK TO BLOGGING SOON. THANKFULLY TONY HAD NOTHING ON ME.

BARACK JUST FINISHED HIS SPEECH. HE SEEMS MORE RELAXED NOW TOO. WE KNOW JOHN McCAIN IS RELAXED SINCE HE TAKES EVERY WEEKEND OFF. HILLARY JUST WALKED ( QUICKLY) OFF THE STAGE. I GUESS THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE LIKE ME TO LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER AND SAY HEY THEY LOOK GOOD TOGETHER. WELL ....UNITY IS A START

TIM AND I...TIM AND ME...WHERE IS STEVE (THE GRAMMAR POLICE) WHEN I ACTUALLY NEED HIM? LET SEE... IT'S ROGER AND ME...ME AND MRS JONES... I DON'T KNOW...AND IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TIM ANd I... I NEVER MET TIM RUSSERT, AND I NEVER WILL.

IT MADE JILL LAUGH YEARS AGO WHEN I SAID TIM WAS ON MY LIST OF 3 (SOME PEOPLE HAVE 5...I ONLY HAVE 3) HE'S ONE OF THE MEN I WOULD LEAVE MY HUSBAND FOR (MY HUSBAND WISHES I WOULD HAVE 5 ...MORE OF A CHANCE HE COULD BE FREE). I'M NOT SURE THAT JILLIAN WAS SURE WHO TIM WAS...BUT THEN WHEN SHE KNEW I THINK SHE WAS GROSSED OUT. I LOVED TIM...MAYBE IT'S WEIRD...BUT I DID. HE KNEW MORE ABOUT POLITICS THAN ANYONE...AND WENT TO CHURCH EVERY SATURDAY...SINCE HE WORKED ON SUNDAY.

I ADORED HIM SO MUCH (I KNOW...I'M CRAZY). I REMEMBER WHEN I ALMOST MET HIM. I REMEMBER WHEN STEVE MET HIM.. I HAD TO REMIND STEVE THAT HE MET TIM. STEVE WAS COVERING THE CONVENTION IN 2000...I WAS SO JEALOUS.. STEVE WAS AT STAPLES CENTER. TIM WAS THERE. ON THE AIR... I WAS BEGGING STEVE TO BRING TIM TO THE CAMERA SO I COULD AT LEAST "TV MEET" HIM.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE SAYS TIM'S WIFE (MAUREEN ORTH...A WONDERFUL WRITER FOR VANITY FAIR) HAD A FEELING TIM WOULD DIE. WHEN HE WAS LEAVING ROME SHE HUGGED HIM AND SAID I MIGHT NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. HOW WRONG TO BE RIGHT.
I'M WRITING THIS ON THURSDAY... AND I JUST ASKED OUR PRODUCER LISA B IF I COULD DO ONE MORE DAY OF RUSSERT COVERAGE (WE HAVE TO ASK CHRIS WALLACE ABOUT HIM). SHE SAID "TIM RUSSERT DIED?" I'M PRETTY SURE SHE WAS KIDDING. SHE THEN SAID ONE DAY MORE OF TIM AND... THAT'S IT (SHE SAID SHE IS EVEN STARTING TO MISS NASH STORIES...AND I KNOW THAT'S A LIE) . LISA B HAD A GOOD SUGGESTION ...SHE SAID GIVE "MEET THE PRESS" TO (MY OTHER BOYFRIEND) TED KOPPEL. I LIKE THE IDEA...BUT I THINK TOM BROKAW SHOULD DO IT TILL THE ELECTION...ANYONE ELSE WOULD SEEM WRONG.

SO...NO TIM AND I..BUT STILL I WILL MISS HIM...

NISCHELLE, HARVEY AND COLIN POWELL WALK INTO A BAR..OK NO, BUT THEY ARE ALL BLOG TOPICS TODAY.

NISCHELLE WAS IN FOR JILL AND NISCHELLE THOUGHT SHE WAS IN FOR IT. SHE OVERSLEPT ON THIS SHIFT... PANIC ENSUES. NISCHELLE NORMALLY GETS UP AT 2:30AM (MY POOR BABY SISTER GIRL). TODAY SHE SLEPT TILL 6 AM...SHE WOKE UP THE CLOCK SAID 5:55. SHE CALLED IN WHILE BRUSHING HER TEETH ...SO NO ONE COULD UNDERSTAND HER. SHE GOT HERE IN TIME ..ABOUT THEN STEVE ROLLS IN AROUND 6:40....AND ANYWAY... IT'S ALL JUST PART OF THE SHOW.

ON AIR I MENTIONED THAT COLIN POWELL SAYS HE MAY VOTE FOR OBAMA. SINCE POWELL WAS SEC OF STATE WHEN WE WENT INTO THIS WAR THAT OBAMA HATES. IT'S A BIT OF A SHOCK (SOME PEOPLE BLAME THE WAR ON POWELL GOING TO THE UN...BUT YOU KNOW HE HATED HIMSELF THE MORNING AFTER).  POWELL SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE HE JUST LIKES OBAMA. ON AIR WE SAID HE WOULD BE A GREAT VP (GOOD MILITARY CRED). OFF AIR NISCHELLE SAID WOULD AMERICA VOTE FOR 2 BLACK MEN? SHE SAID EARLY ON SHE HAD HER DOUBTS THEY WOULD EVEN VOTE FOR ONE. STEVE AND I HAD THE SAME ...IS COLIN POWELL BLACK REACTION. HE SEEMS LIKE A MAN WHO HAS MOVED US SO FAR PAST ISSUES OF RACE. SOME PEOPLE SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT OBAMA AND HILLARY...WOULD PEOPLE VOTE FOR A WOMAN OR A BLACK MAN... LET ALONE BOTH OF THEM. FOR SOME REASON I THINK THEY WOULD BE STRONGER TOGETHER.

NOW HARVEY LEVIN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS...IN FACT HE IS ON VACATION. THIS WEEK ON THE SHOW HE SAID HE NEEDED A GOOD BOOK TO READ. HE SAID HE USED TO GET ALL HS RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ME... BUT HE SAID I HAD GOTTEN RELIGION AND HAD FORGOTTEN HOW TO READ. HEY I HAD A KID AND HAVE NO TIME TO READ. ACTUALLY I AM READING A BOOK ABOUT RELIGION ..THE POISON WOOD BIBLE ( GREAT BOOK... BUT NOT AN EASY READ). NOW HARVEY CAN SLAM ME ANYTIME BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR FOREVER. BUT RIGHT AFTER HE SAID THAT I GOT A CALL FROM SOMEONE DOING A PROFILE ON HARVEY ..THE REPORTER WANTS " COLOR " (THE OTHER MEANING OF COLOR)...HE WANTS FUNNY STORIES AND MAN DO I HAVE THEM. I CALLED HARV..AS HE'S LEAVING ON A JET PLANE AND SAID DON'T SLAM ME BEFORE I DO THE INTERVIEW.

ACTUALLY I LOVE HARVEY...AND NISCHELLE AND COLIN POWELL.

THEY WERE SNEAKING AROUND...LOOKING FOR SOME ALONE TIME. NOT REALLY A HOOK UP ...MORE LIKE A SHOTGUN MARRIAGE.

HILLARY AND BARAK HAD THEIR (NOT SO) SECRET MEETING. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS SAID. WE DON'T KNOW IF HE SAID " I WILL OFFER YOU THE V.P. JOB IF YOU PROMISE NOT TO TAKE IT."  WE DON'T KNOW IF SHE SAID "GIVE IT TO ME OR I WILL MAKE SURE YOU LOSE. I WILL RUN THE NEXT TIME , PAY ATTENTION TO THE CAUCUS STATES ... AND WIN." IN OTHER WORDS (OR ACTUALLY THE SAME WORDS I JUST USED) WE DON'T KNOW. THEY MET FOR AN HOUR...ALL ALONE AND THEY LEFT LAUGHING.

TODAY BARACK IS FLIRTING WITH OTHER POTENTIAL VP'S...HE HUNG OUT WITH JIM WEBB (SENATOR FROM VA...HAS A SON IN IRAQ....THE GOOD... HE HAS NATIONAL SECURITY CRED...THE BAD HE'S BEEN A SENATOR FOR ABOUT 5 MIN ..SO HE BRINGS LITTLE EXPERIENCE TO THE TICKET). THE NAME BILL RICHARDSON HAS BEEN FLOATED (GOV OF NEW MEXICO ...THE GOOD HE MAY HELP WITH THE LATINO VOTE...THE BAD HE WILL KILL THE CHICK VOTE..HIS OWN LT GOV (DIANE DENISH SAYS HE IS TOO TOUCHY FEELY....PLUS BILL CLINTON NOW HATES HIM...SAYS RICHARDSON LIED TO HIM AND ENDORSED BARACK)) MAYBE CAROLINE KENNEDY WILL COME UP WITH SOMEONE (COUSIN ARNOLD? CAN'T... MAYBE ED RANDELL? TOM STRICKLAND? TOM DASCHLE? I LIKE MIKE BLOOMBERG?).BUT I THINK WE ALREADY HAVE A WINNER.

NOT THAT I KNOW ANYTHING ..IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW YOU KNOW THAT.. BUT EVEN BEFORE IOWA I SAID THEY SHOULD RUN TOGETHER. IT'S THE DREAM TEAM  (AND MUCH DREAMIER THEN BEFORE THEY KNOCKED THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER). NOW GRANTED BEFORE IOWA I THOUGHT BARACK WOULD BE THE NUMBER TWO (BUT THEN CAME THE DAVID COOK /DAVID ARCHULETTA UPSET). STILL I THINK IT'S EVEN BETTER THIS WAY. HE GETS TO BE JFK...SHE GETS TO BE DICK CHENEY (CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING DICK CHENEY LIKE THAT'S A GOOD THING). I MEAN HILLARY GETS TO BE THE PIT BULL. SHE CAN BE THE ATTACK DOG (AS THE VP IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION) AND SHE CAN GET THINGS PUSHED THROUGH CONGRESS. I'LL GO ONE BETTER... SEND BILL TO CONGRESS. HE CAN HAVE HILLARY'S SEAT. THAT KEEPS HIM BUSY AND HOPEFULLY (HAVE YOU READ VANITY FARE?) SO IF BARACK IS JFK ...I GUESS BILL CAN BE TEDDY KENNEDY.
WE HAD COKIE ROBERTS ON RECENTLY. I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED HER BUT SHE SAID BARACK AND HILLARY WOULD BE A TERRIBLE TICKET. COKIE SAYS WHY WOULD YOU WANT 2 SENATORS FROM THE SAME PART OF THE COUNTRY? YES IN THE OLD DAYS (JFK AND LBJ...OR MORE RECENTLY JOHN KERRY/JOHN EDWARDS) YOU WANTED PEOPLE FROM VERY DIFFERENT PLACES. TO APPEAL TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY...BUT I DISAGREE WITH (THE VERY SMART COOKIE) COKIE.

BARAK BRINGS IN THE CHARDONNAY LIBERALS AND AFRICAN AMERICANS. HILL BRINGS THE BEER DRINKING LIBERALS, LATINOS AND WOMEN...WHO ELSE IS THERE? YES THIS WILL BE A PAIN IN THE THE OBAMA FOR BARACK. SHE WILL NAG HIM LIKE AN EX-WIFE...AND HE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH HER (CURRENT) HUSBAND...BUT DON'T YOU SOMETIME SACRIFICE TO WIN?
SO IF THEY ARE HOOKING UP...I THINK THEY SHOULD GET MARRIED.

IT WAS A REAL SEX AND THE CITY WEEKEND FOR ME. WE TOOK NASH WITH US SO THERE WASN'T MUCH ACTUAL SEX IN THE CITY. BUT IT WAS HIS FIRST TRIP TO NY... HE LOVES IT...THERE IS A TV IN EVERY TAXI AND McDONALD'S DELIVERS (CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW GROSS IT IS BY THE TIMES IT GETS TO YOU?).

I DIDN'T GET TO SHOP (NO SEX NO SHOPPING...ALL I GOT WAS THE CITY) . UNLESS YOU COUNT THE 4 STORY TOYS R US IN TIMES SQUARE. I DID MAKE TIME TO BUY A FAKE D&G PURSE IN THE STREET. AND I DID GET TO EAT. THE PRICES ARE INSANE, AT ONE RESTAURANT (TAO) THE KOBE BEEF SPECIAL WAS $300. NASH SAID " I'LL HAVE THE STEAK"... I SAID" I DON'T THINK SO.". IT WAS KOBE FOR TWO BUT STILL...I TOLD NASH WE HAD THE REAL KOBE IN LA. THE MEN'S ROOM AT TAO (OR SO NASH SAYS) HAS A BIG BLUE FOUNTAIN...AND ALL THE GUYS PEE IN THE FOUNTAIN...IT'S LIKE A BIG OLE BIDET. (I HAD TO ASK HOW TO SPELL BIDET AND OUR PRODUCER LISA B...THE BLOG POLICE ...YELLED " WHY IS THERE A BIDET IN YOUR BLOG."..I SAID "IT'S AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE BLOG"...ACTUALLY I JUST SAID SHUT UP THEN SHE YELLED...IN HER NY WAY... "DO YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SPELL GONADS "...SINCE I TOLD HER I AM WRITING DOWN EVERY WORD SHE SAYS SHE IS NO LONGER SAYING ANYTHING).

NOW TO THE REAL SEX AND THE CITY ... I SAW THE MOVIE WITH DAVID. I DID NOT FORCE MY HUSBAND TO GO...AS A MATTER OF FACT I TRIED TO DUMP HIM TO BRING A GIRLFRIEND...BUT HE WANTED TO SEE IT. HIS REVIEW...NOT ENOUGH SEX ...AND THE CLOTHES WERE WEIRD BUT HE DID THINK IT WAS FUNNY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BIT LONG . IT STARTS OFF A BIT SLOWLY FOR ME BUT I ALMOST CRIED BY THE END. THE WATER SCENES WERE MY FAVORITE (BOTH WITH CHARLOTTE....ONE IS THE PUDDING AND WATER ONE IS THE WATER BREAKING). CARRIE IS ... YIKES A BRUNETTE) SAMANTHA LOOKS GOOD IN SUSHI ...AND MIRANDA. (CYNTHA NIXON) IS A GOOD ACTRESS...SHE IS WHY I ALMOST CRIED. BUT IF IF YOU LOVE THE TV SHOW YOU WILL LIKE THE MOVIE.

I LOVE NY .... THIS MORNING'S BREAKING NEWS REALLY TOOK ME BACK TO MY DAYS AS A NEWS REPORTER AT WABC THERE. ONE MESS AFTER ANOTHER. ENTERTAINMENT CRAP IS A LOT EASIER.

I SAID ON THE SHOW I WOULD MOVE BACK TO NY...STEVE TRIED TO BUY ME A TICKET...AND SOME AGENT CALLED MY BOSS AND SAID WHEN I GO HE HAS SOMEONE PERFECT FOR MY JOB. SORRY I'M NOT MOVING BACK JUST YET SO JUST TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED TO BOTH CITIES AND BOTH SONGS...I LOVE LA....

REMEMBER WHEN .... I FORGOT MY HUSBAND...THE FATHER OF MY CHILD...THAT GUY.  MY HUSBAND WAS SLIGHTLY ANNOYED BY OUR REMEMBER WHEN  SEGMENT...FUNNY IT'S USUALLY  STEVE WHO IS  ANNOYED AT ME.  I'LL GET TO ALL  THAT... BUT FIRST...OTHER PEOPLE ...

WE  LAUGHED...MOSTLY AT EACH OTHER LOOKING AT OLD PHOTOS.  DAVID SPADE HATED IT...BUT WE LAUGHED.  MY MOM WAS IN THE DAY WE LOOKED AT MY PICTURES (SHE CAME INTO SEE BARBARA  WALTERS...NOT ME)  IT WAS VERY  SPECIAL THAT SHE WAS THERE TO SHARE. IT ALMOST MADE ME CRY.

 STEVE WAS A CUTE BABY. (DURING THE BREAK STEVE TOLD US  ABOUT MESSING  WITH THE BREAKS ON HIS PARENTS CAR... AFTER ONE OF THE  PICTURES  WAS TAKEN... STEVE TOOK THE PARKING BREAK OFF HIS PARENTS CAR AND CRASHED THEIR  CAR INTO ANOTHER...OH THE HAPPY MEMORIES)

 JILLIAN LOOKED GOOD IN A BIKINI EVEN THEN...AND  RUBY LOOKS JUST LIKE HER.

TWO PEOPLE WERE OUTED.  OUTED FOR PLASTIC SURGERY.  LISA BRECK  AND SUZANNE MARQUES ADMITTED TO HAVING NOSE JOBS. LISA BRECK  SAID   IT BEFORE ANYONE EVEN ASKED.  IN FACT SHE ADMITTED IT BEFORE WE SAW THE PICTURES . THEN WHEN WE SHOWED THE  PHOTOS  SHE ADMITTED TO TWO NOSE JOBS. 

   WHEN SUZANNE MARQUES SHOWED HER PICTURES IT WAS  LIKE THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.  I WOULD NOT PUT HER ON THE SPOT AND ASK ( SHE HAS JUST JOINED THE SHOW  SO WE DON'T KNOW HER THAT WELL).  BUT OF COURSE JILL DID ASK AND SUZANNE SAID YUP  I GOT MY NOSE DONE.

I THINK BOBBY D (WITH HIS TWIN BROTHER)  AND NISCHELE WERE THE CUTEST KIDS.

NOW ABOUT MY HUSBAND...WHEN WE DECIDED TO DO THE PHOTOS ( DUMB ME ..IT WAS MY IDEA AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY PICTURES.) I WENT SEARCHING IN MY GARAGE.  I HAVE HUNDREDS  OF BABY PICTURES...OF NASH ...NONE OF ME.  I FOUND A FEW...MOSTLY  FROM COLLEGE.  IT TUNED OUT TO BE  THE PARADE OF OLD BOYFRIENDS .  THE PRODUCERS PICKED TWO  PICTURES OF GUYS I DATED IN COLLEGE.  NOW MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO COLLEGE TOGETHER. .BUT...HE WAS NOT A COLLEGE BOYFRIEND.  WE NEVER DATED. WE WERE FRENEMIES .  HE THOUGHT I WAS THE CHEERLEADER TYPE . HE CALLED ME SNOTTY DOTTIE (PROBABLY BECAUSE  I WOULDN'T GO OUT WITH HIM...NOT THAT HE EVER ASKED MIND YOU ).   I THOUGHT HE WAS TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL...HIS HAIR WAS LONGER THAN MINE IS NOW.
BUT STILL  DAVID  OBJECTED TO BEING LEFT OUT OF THE COLLEGE YEARS ( I GUESS THE WEDDING PHOTO DIDN'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING I MEAN HE WAS IN THAT ONE).

 SINCE MY HUSBAND NEVER (WATCHES OR)  COMPLAINS ABOUT ANYTHING I DO ..I DECIDED TO ADD ONE OF US FROM THE OLD COLLEGE DAYS....THIS ONE IS FOR YOU HONEY.  CHECK OUT THE LONG HAIR...ESPECIALLY THE LONG CHEST HAIR.


 
STEVE SAYS DAVID LOOKS LIKE THE JEWISH TOM SELLECK....OR THE WHITE STEDMEN  ( THEN CAN I BE THE FRECKLED OPRAH???)

BY THE WAY ...I DID HEAR FROM ONE  OF MY OLD BOYFRIENDS. NOW STEVE (WHO IS ALWAYS SO KIND TO ME...CAN YOU HEAR SARCASM WHEN I'M WRITING  ???) STEVE ALWAYS SAYS ALL MY OLD BOYFRIENDS HATE ME...NOT TRUE.  ONLY MY CURRENT HUSBAND...AND CURRENT CO HOST (SOMETIMES)  DO!!


Remember When... Dorothy

Remember When... Jillian

Remember When... Steve

Dorothy, Steve, Jillian 'I Will Survive'

NO ONE YELLS "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING" AT ME...IT'S MORE LIKE WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT? IT LOOKS LIKE I SHOP AT "INAPPROPRIATE R US". BUT HEY, AT 5AM I JUST GRAB WHATEVER IS NOT ON THE FLOOR OF MY CLOSET. OUR WONDERFUL MAKE UP PERSON (ROBYN) IS ALWAYS HAPPY WHEN I WEAR SOMETHING OTHER THAN BLACK. PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK JILLIAN AND ME ABOUT OUR CLOTHES (MORE JILL THAN ME...BUT HEY SHE DOESN'T BLOG SO YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME ), SO HERE IS MY SCHMATA BLAGA FOR THIS WEEK.

MONDAY...OK I CAN NOT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I WORE...PROBABLY BLACK CAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL FAT (FROM CANDY FRIDAY AND WEEKEND WINE). SO LETS ASSUME I WORE SOMETHING BLACK AND IT PROBABLY WASN'T ALL THAT INAPPROPRIATE. IT MAY HAVE INVOLVED A SHORT SKIRT BUT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT. OK OUR TRUSTY PRODUCER ELOY CHECKED THE SHOW TAPE. HE JUST SAID, "YOU WORE A BLACK STRAPPY THINGY " IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME (ME AND CELINE DION). I GOT THAT ONLINE ON SALE AT NEIMAN MARCUS. IT'S A NICOLE MILLER PERFECT BLACK DRESS HAS RUSHING TO HIDE EVERYTHING (MAYBE MORE COCKTAIL PARTY THAN 7 AM BUT I LOVED IT). OUR DIRECTOR FRANCIS AND HAIR PERSON PATTY ARE BOTH ON LINE NOW TRYING TO GET THE DRESS...IT'S ON SALE HURRY!!)

TUESDAY...ANIMAL PRINT. I WORE AN OFF THE SHOULDER BLUMARINE DRESS. IT'S FROM LAST YEAR AND I THINK I WORE IT TO ONE OF JILLIAN'S BABY SHOWERS. AGAIN NOT REALLY A DRESS FOR THE OFFICE ...BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT UP MY BUTT. NICE LONG DRESS (THEREFORE STEVE DIDN'T LIKE IT).

WEDNESDAY WAS APPARENTLY MY WEDDING DAY. I WORE A WHITE DRESS THAT I CAN WEAR TO MY NEXT WEDDING. PEOPLE HERE SAID I LOOKED LIKE I WAS JUMPING OUT OF A CAKE OR WEARING A SCRAPBOOK, JILL SAID I LOOKED LIKE I WAS GOING TO A QUINCIENERA . I LOVED IT... EXCEPT IT WAS TOO TIGHT. AGAIN I BOUGHT IT ONLINE. LAST WEEK WE DID A STORY CALLED "B.U.I." ...BUYING UNDER THE INFLUENCE ... WHICH IS SHOPPING AND DRINKING AT HOME. A DRINK IN ONE HAND AND A MOUSE IN THE OTHER AND YOUR JUST A CLICK AWAY FROM ANYTHING YOU WANT. "B.U.I." CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE PLUS PEOPLE OFTEN BUY A SIZE TO SMALL. APPARENTLY WHEN YOU DRINK YOU SHRINK. I COULD NOT BREATHE SO I'M THINKING THE DRESS WAS A SIZE (OR 2 SIZES) TOO SMALL.

THURSDAY I WORE THE DRESS OUR PRODUCER LISA B HATES MOST OF ALL. SHE CALLS IT THE OH MIGHTY ISIS DRESS. APPARENTLY I LOOK LIKE A SUPER HERO FROM THE 70'S. IT HAS A BIG FAKE JEWEL IN THE MIDDLE. IT'S BY SKY (STORE ON ROBERTSON). IT'S NOT TO EXPENSIVE BUT TERRIBLY HEAVY. YOU GET A WORK OUT JUST WEARING IT.
AND VERY WRONG FOR THE MORNING.

IT'S FRIDAY...SKY AGAIN. A BLACK HALTER...VERY NAKED. SOMETHING YOU SHOULD WEAR CLUBBING... NOT FOR ANY MORNING TV SHOW...EXCEPT OURS.

I TEND TO WEAR WHITE OR BLACK (VERY BORING I KNOW). I LOVE DESIGNER DRESSES BUT MORE OFTEN I SHOP AT H&M, FOREVER 21 AND ZARA... FOR A SPLURGE I LIKE NEIMAN'S AND PLANET BLUE (IN THE BU).

I JUST YELLED TO LISA BRECK "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING". SHE WORE A PRETTY PLUM DRESS ON. I MAY BE WEARING THAT (SO HEY COLOR) ON MONDAY!

BY THE WAY NEXT WEEK WE ARE DOING SOMETHING CALLED "REMEMBER WHEN." WE WILL BE SHOWING OLD PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF ALL OF US (EVEN LITTLE STEVIE).

SO HERE IS A SNEAK PEAK OF THE DRESS I WORE WHEN I WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.



PRODUCER LISA B. SAID IT WAS WAY TOO SEXY FOR A DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT I TOLD HER THAT PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER LIKED IT A LOT (HE MAY HAVE HAD SOME LUST IN HIS HEART). IN THIS PICTURE I'M WITH AN OLD BOYFRIEND (HEY BOB LINDSAY... HOW HAVE YOU BEEN??) BUT I WORE THE SAME WHEN I WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE DINNER WITH ALEC BALDWIN (HOW'S THAT FOR NAME DROPPING)?

SO MAKE SURE YOU WATCH NEXT WEEK WHEN ALL OF US (EVEN STEVE) WILL ALL AND SILLY!

     ON THE SHOW STEVE CALLED THIS  "NASH'S BLOG"
 .  I WISH.  I CAN BARELY GET THE KID  TO PICK UP HIS UNDERWEAR.  .HOW COULD I CONVINCE  HIM TO WRITE MY BLOG (I AM NO TOM SAWYER).  BUT I DO HAVE NASH'S REVIEW OF NASH ON TV.   WELL AT LEAST I HAVE THE ONLY THING HE DID SAY ABOUT IT.   I COULD SO EASILY BE KATHY LEE..STAGE MOM...BUT MY TOO COOL  KID WON'T LET ME.   BUT HE WILL ALLOW ...IE... CONDESCEND TO  LET ME TAKE HIM TO IDOL..   WE WENT WEDNESDAY,  OF COURSE WE WERE  LATE, AND NASH WAS ANNOYED.  HE SAID ""ARE WE GONNA MISS  NEIL DIAMOND", THE FUNNY PART IS, HE HAS NO IDEA WHO NEIL DIAMOND IS.  THIS WAS BIG FOR ME I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH NEIL SINCE I WAS 13 YEARS OLD.

WHEN NEIL  CAME OUT TO MEET THE AUDIENCE BEFORE THE SHOW.  HE WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME AND WHEN DEBBIE (THE STAGE MANAGER) SAID NEIL COMES OUT YOU'LL CLAP THEN YOU'LL STOP CLAPPING.  NEIL SAID DON'T LISTEN TO HER ... KEEP CLAPPING ...
I DON;T THINK JASON WAS WORRIED ABOUT GOING HOME.  HE WAS YAWNING DURING THE ENTIRE SHOW.  EVEN THOUGH BROOKE SAYS HE GETS MORE SLEEP THAN ANYONE SHE HAS EVER KNOWN.  I GUESS IT WASN'T A SHOCK THAT BROOKE GO THE BOOT...BUT IT WAS SAD.

NASH'S FAVORITE PART OF THE NIGHT IS  BACKSTAGE WITH THE JUDGES.. THEY ARE SO NICE  TO HIM THAT NASH THINKS HE'S THE SHOW MASCOT.   MUCH LIKE ME...NASH  DOESN'T LIKE TO WATCH HIMSELF ON TV, HIS ONLY REVIEW OF 
 SEEING HIMSELF WAS ABOUT HIS HAIR ... HE DID AGREE WITH ME  THAT HE NEEDS TO  COMB IT ONCE IN AWHILE.  
WE  ALL HAD A GOOD TIME ( EXCEPT FOR TERRI...I WAS CRUSHING HER.) ...TAKE A LOOK ...

Dorothy and Nash Backstage at AI

      Since I am to lazy to write my own blog ...I asked (offered to pay ) our producer Lisa B to write my blog.  She did it for free, but she is trying to nail me.  The following is a bunch of BS from (the evil) Lisa B (not Lisa Breckenridge...her I like)


Dorothy's world of entertainment?

Quote from Dorothy Friday 8:17am ... "I just do what the producer's tell me" ...
Our response ...
As one of the producers of the show ... (Lisa B.)
 First i would like to say "I wish" ....
Here is what really happens every  morning ...or should i say the middle of the night ...
Dorothy and her "people" producer Bill ...( who no matter how Dorothy makes him seem, he is not gay, not that there is anything wrong with it) myself, and many of the morning show producers look thru the wires, newspapers and our favorite gossip websites ... To see what is happening in the world of entertainment ... And since for Dorothy that would include politics, we even look at some real news.... After lots of time and energy producer bill puts Dorothy stories in the rundown ...
I check in with Dorothy at 6am to run through the stories that we feel she would like ... Some are no brainers- what happened last night on American Idol  or who got the boot on Dancing with the Stars ... But everything else, Dorothy are you listening ....
"we are happy to change or not even do", yes we like tabloid Thursday and us weekly Wednesday, probably because of the alliteration, but once again, please feel free to say " i don't want to do" and if you would like to do that segment called "feel good Friday", that is fine, but don't blame us if the celebrities don't cooperate!
Keep up the good work


         *******my  rebuttal to the producer rebuttal
      I  have come to hate tabloid Thursday. ..unless we can make fun of the stories....then it's fun.  Sometimes I do ask to take a story out.   Sometimes producer Bill gets annoyed with me because I will  ask to take out a story about a friend of mine.  It's hell having a few celebrity friends.  Plus I live in Malibu and who wants to do a nasty story about someone and run smack into the at Starbucks.  Bill once (in a cranky voice) asked me who we could do stories about....I said anyone i don't see in the carpool line at school.    It's odd but  sometimes I find
 I talk the least about the stories I know the most about (I really don't think i should talk about things I see at school or church...yes even i have standards),  Steve always says more stars should befriend me.  If a friend of mine does get arrested don't' worry you won't miss it.  I will  just ask  Harvey...from TMZ... To come in and do the story for me.

Ps Lisa B I still love you (both Lisa B's)

Hey when Steve is away.... Jill and I must play ...or torment someone else. It bugs Steve that there is no word a male mistress...so I will just call Mark our "manstress." I do kind of feel like we are cheating on Steve..but hey after 13 years with the same guy...you need a break (I'm gonna try to sell that one to my husband...it's been 13 years with him too!).

We laughed a lot with Mark...but the high point of the week had to be Bill Cosby. Bill was not familiar with our show so he actually watched it (and still came on). He said OK I get it they are all about the funny. So he sits down and Jill and I begin to grill him...about race, about Obama. We were so interested we didn't let Steve get a word in. I asked Bill who he was voting for he said and I quote "none of your damn business." During the commercial break he said you girls are killing me...I was all ready for the funny and I'm being interviewed by scholars. Now calling Jill and I scholars...that made Steve laugh.
If you could hear us during the commercial breaks (and in the future you may be able to...there's some plan to put the audio from the breaks on the net) today you would have heard me complain...about...this blog. Blog,blog, blog...I kept saying I have nothing to say (a blog about nothing...hey it worked for Seinfeld). I am now doing a blog each Friday. I asked our boss..can I please blog when I have something to say. Jose said we tried that and you never did. So now there's a Friday blog no matter what.

Monday Jill and I will be back with our TV husband. We'll send our "manstress" back to the 10pm.

I am here to stick up for Simon...enough about his man boobs. They aren't that big..ok bigger than mine...but not that big. The big shocker on Idol this week... Micheal Johns ...is married!! Apparently that's news to me. See the interview here.

I had such a (bleached) blond moment on the show. And really...Steve has never enjoyed a Friday more. I know Micheal is (sadly) married...but it's Friday. When you get up at 4:30 am (and refuse to ever go to bed before 10pm), you get a little tired (and puffy eyed) by Friday. So I went for the question we ask everybody when we have nothing else to say. Steve wants to turn my goof into a promo...Dorothy Lucey your Idol Expert...

"Michael who are you dating?"

Sometimes I do hate myself in the morning. But I am sad to see him go. I thought he would be in the top 5 maybe even the top 3. This week Producer Bill (go read his blog ...very funny...he gets into the hell of working with me) Bill and I (and Tivo) agreed Syesha was going home. Then when they sang "Shout to the Lord" ( which is beautiful) I noticed the loooong close ups of Carly and Syesha. So then (really over thinking it) I decided neither girl would be going home. Perhaps...like last year, no one would go home. But we...and Tivo, were wrong. When you watch the show Tivo is watching you. They know who you watch and who you fast forward through. Based on that Tivo picks who is going home and they have been right about for a few weeks in a row. But not this time.

This morning Michael said it's better to be a has been... than to be a never was. I don't think he is either. Michael is coming on the show next week...I hear he's bringing his wife!

As much as I want... in my heart to boycott Idol...I'm actually going to the show next week to see Mariah Carey. I know Simon's boob's are smaller than hers!!!!

Oh that was such a sleazy tease! Well...would you expect less from us (or at least from me)? Normally I try to write a funny Friday Blog (well at least I try to make it funny). I usually write about what you didn't see on the air. Today we are not so goofy. We are covering the funeral of the firefighter people called "Lovey".

Maybe it's because I live in Malibu, but I have a lot of friends who are firemen. Also a funeral like this reminds me of my Dad. My father was a cop. I was lucky to have him for a good long time. He passed away 2 years ago...2 years ago yesterday. When I was a news reporter in NY I covered the funerals of so many police officers. In fact I got out of news (and into this silliness that I do) after a cop funeral. It was at St. Patrick's in New York City. The church was packed...at the end of the mass they gave the cop's son...a boy about the age my son is now....his Dad's hat. A big uniform hat ...on this little boy's head. A hat instead of a father. I burst into tears. Now I didn't know the family....but I did know I was taking every news story to heart. I just couldn't do it anymore.

Firemen also make me think of my pretty church that burned down. We are getting ready to raise the money to rebuild...but on Easter Malibu Presbyterian gave $500,000 to World Impact. They are building a teen center downtown, a safe place for kids hang out. I bet you have passed World Impact many times, you can see the sign off the 10 freeway as you head into downtown. World Impact is having an impact on inner city kids. Our church wants to be a part of that and promised the donation last October...October 20th. The next day our Church burned down to the ground. But we honored our commitment.. I do love our church.

Let me just mention our next project (then I promise I'll get back to the silly stuff). The Missions Committee of our church (which I am a proud and loud member of) supports missionaries all over the world. But we are doing something very cool here. Another charity, Imagine LA,  is hoping to get kids off the street. They say there are 8,000 homeless families in LA. There are about 8,000 churches, synagogues, and mosques in LA. Very interesting. They are hoping each house of worship will take one family off the streets. We are going to be one of the first churches to take in a family. You support them...get them off the streets for 2 years...and hope they will never go back. It's a start...our goal is that there will be no more babies sleeping on the streets of LA.

Enough do-gooding...next blog I promise all gossip.

No one complains more than Tony...not even Jillian and me. When Tony sits in we always laugh...and not always at him. Tony is the nicest of us all...but Jill and I somehow bring out the worst in him. He's hungry...he's tired...he hasn't had time to pee in the last 3 hours. This morning he ran up to the vending machines during a break. He ate a bag of Doritos and made it back in time to look (somewhat) professional. Jill smelled something...a rat. Tony tried to deny it...but Jill did a breath smell check. Finally he owned up to it..and gave Jill some money to get more. She actually did not know we had vending machines...let alone where they were. But mission accomplished ( remember the last time somebody said that....) Jill got back in time with 3 bags of Doritos...which wound up on her dress. She had on a strapless dress that she kept adjusting ( none of us are very well adjusted)...the top part was white...now it's white and orange-ish. Now thats a Spicy Hot Dorito..
PS Nash's favorite joke...what kind of cheese is that....Nacho cheese...( OK one of our smarter producers Lisa B just read this and did not get the joke...she is so not smarter that a 5th grader...the joke is ...here I'll make it phonetic...NOT_YO_CHEESE)
