Well If THIS Doesn't Stop Prop 8, Nothing Can.

Checking in with today’s entertainment headlines, here are the things you Need To Know:

Whitney Houston performed on Good Morning America this morning.  The catch being it was pre-taped on a recent afternoon to save Whitney from having to get up so early.  ”Unless y’all want me haulin’ on a crack pipe to stay awake all night beforehand,” she snapped …

When Oprah Winfrey launches her new season, she will do so by closing down a significant section of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, leaving many wondering just how she pulled it off. “Easy,” said Oprah.  ”I threatened the city with a Dr.Phil-Rachel-Ray-Dr.-Oz marathon …”

Baskin Robbins On The Danforth: A Moment In Time.

Recently it was my friend Amanda’s birthday. Being an Aquarius, she quickly nixed the idea of a lovely dinner at Five Doors North  for six and declared that instead we were all going bowling.

I had no idea Danforth Bowl existed, but it does.  Right on the Danforth.  Down some stairs.  Like, going into someone’s super size basement.  Five lanes, five pins, hip-hop on the stereo and the most motley crue of people you’ve ever thought you’d spend an evening with.

We brought an ice cream cake for Amanda, because what’s sticking your feet into overused ugly shoes without ice cream cake and wine in plastic cups?  And away we bowled.  It was funny when Patrick fell.  It was funny when Cricket got a strike and declared himself a pro, evident by the way he offered tips, like, “You should have waited for my instruction,” after someone got a gutter ball.  But soon Cricket started to get gutter balls, too, and this pissed him off, we could all tell, drunk.

In the end, I won, which is amusing in and of itself.  But not nearly as amusing as the game’s loser, who declared, “Well, I only lost by four points to Cricket – and I was high on K!”

And The Last Word goes to … Cher! ‘The Republicans almost killed me. …I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can’t figure it. I don’t understand. If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority — gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich — I don’t know. If you’re not a rich born-again Christian, I don’t get it.’
