Chelsea, Mark and the interfaith wedding

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

We have had celebrity weddings, weddings of major political figures, and weddings of the rich and infamous, and their offspring. Last week, we had a wedding that combined all of these- and added a new element, an interfaith ceremony. Like it or not, there will always be the in-people whose lives are carefully watched and […]

Ali and Roberto

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Too often at the end of a “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette” season, I find myself thinking- you picked the wrong guy/girl. When Jason chose Melissa over Mollie, I had the sense he was playing it safe- which can a dangerous thing to do. It didn’t work because even though he liked Melissa- his attraction to Mollie […]

Sarah Palin’s “Guy”

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Like many Americans- Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike- I watched and listened as Sarah Palin introduced herself to America at the convention a few weeks ago.

The Fragility Of Celebrity Marriages

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

When a celebrity gets married, the bets begin. “I give it a few months.” “Must be a publicity stunt.” “Isn’t he/she gay?” It seems that every week at least one item about a failed celebrity relationship or marriage is highlighted in the news. Obviously it is newsworthy because folks want to hear about it, have […]

Star crossed Lovers With A Happy Ending

Friday, April 8th, 2005

Tomorrow, April 9th is a big day. Yes, the biggest news is happening in Vatican City… However, if it were not for the death of the beloved church leader, THE STORY of the day would be Charles and Camilla.
They met 35 years ago, in 1970. Charles was 21 and Camilla was 22. He was the […]
