Katie Couric and Rosie O'Donnell

Well, after watching the first round of Couric on the CBS Evening News, I have to say I wasn't all that impressed. I do have a few thoughts about it:

• She's had an eye-lift.
• She has a great camera presence.
• The show is really less news than ever. It seemed way too gimicky and like Access Hollywood. Ugh.

Now, on to Rosie on The View. In just a few short days since her debut on the show, she's shown herself to be (not surprisingly) the loudest, the goofiest, and the most pointed. I have a feeling the show will continue to evolve. My guess is that stupid Elizabeth (I'm a no-thinking fundamentalist) will leave before the end of the year. And then I'm even thinking the staltwart Joy will either leave the show later, or tone down her schtick. Right now she and Rosie are just too much alike.

Ellen to Host Oscars

Can you believe it's already time to talk about the Oscars? Well, not really. But the good news is that Ellen DeGeneres is hosting this year for the first time. I actually think her glib sense of humor is a great match for the Oscars. She's snarky, but smart and funny too.

Vincent is Gone!

Praise Jesus! I have been waiting for weeks for the talentless Vincent to be kicked off Project Runway and last night God answered my prayers! I think the producers thought Vincent made good tv, so they kept him on. But really all he did was creep everyone out and spin out of control. If you watched last night, you saw Vincent not-so-subtlely come on to the French judge. Anyway...good riddance!

Design Star to Name its Star

This upcoming Sunday HGTV's Design Star will name the designer who will host a new show on the network. You can go to the website to vote between David (mmmm) and Alice. Both are great, but David's designs will really blow you away by how good they are. Look at pics from the challenge where he decorated a room by shopping at a pet store. David is a winner--and hot to boot!

Osama and Bush

I just had a horrifying thought today as I was reading about how the Republican party is just tanking in our country: imagine what happens if somehow the President and his cronies are able to pull Osama bin Laden out of their asses before the November elections? It seems like so many more people are finally waking up to the realities of the crazy Iraq war. A majority of Americans can now see how Bush and his peeps have no foreign or domestic policy worth talking about. But if by some strange chance Bush and his minions happen to stumble upon Osama before the elections, everything could change at the drop of a hat. Ugh.
