Happy St. Guinness Day!

This is the happiest news ever since it combines three things about which I have endless passion: Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange, and witches! Ryan Murphy is a genius with this excellent American Horror Story revelation for next season!

More of why Ryan Murphy is my favorite person except Glee kind of sucks now. He's filming The Normal Heart (Dish has seen numerous times, not a fave) in NYC, which means JULIA ROBERTS WILL BE ON THE PREMISES. TG refuses to go location scouting with me for Julia's whereabouts--and let's face it, I will probably remain on my fat ass working. But...if any readers have a hint of a clue of where she might be, please dish. I might need a pick-me-up from all this work. And bear in mind, I will keep a distance from The Queen because I'm a giant chicken-sh*t.

I've been worried about Tone Loc and his seizures for years. He keeps collapsing on stage, which breaks my heart. How can this genius ever be sick?

More The View drama--it seems Hasselbeck really might be gone. Baba is pissed the news got out before she could expel it in a tiny burp covered by her hand. Christie Brinkley is allegedly lobbying hard to get on the show. That might be fun if she lets loose--no fakery. For The View, you need one stable (as in will show up day after day) wackadoodle and at least three who are interesting but won't cause too much drama. Brooke Shields is the new Meredith!!!

It's Official: Brooke Is My New Imaginary BFF

Not since Rosie O' and Star Jones has their been full-on drama from The View. Here it is: Joy Behar is leaving and Elisabeth Hasselbeck might also be gone. I kinda found EH annoying but liked that she represented the Red states. She hung in there for a long time even when the tide turned against her. It's a colossal bore when everyone believes in the same things. Oh hell, ideological balance begone--Brooke Shields might be joining and she's one of those stars I'd take a bullet for (maybe even twice). I'll DVR the show again! Love, love, love her.

Other than this, topsy turvy for Dish. My mother was honored in a 2-day conference--which was awesome. I've always been proud of Dishmama but seeing so many people in love with her made me very misty. In a fit of jealousy, Dishcat has chosen this moment to be on his last legs, which is heartbreaking. I've had this kitty for 18.5 years. He's seen so much.

I'm ending the weekend with a marathon of ironing TG's shirts.
