Golden Globes

One of the hazards with being an occasional basic cable host is that when you are NOT hired to cover an event you sit at home and "cover" the event in your head. How I would ask different questions, how it would feel. That's the inspiration for this vid.

Also, people say, "Covering the red carpet must be fun." It can be, but it can also be brutally hard and humbling. I will never forget covering the premiere of "Titanic" in the late '90s and yelling, "Tom, Tom Arnold" as he blew past me.

Sylvester Stallone blew me off; I've been blown off my Demi Moore. You know, big names, too many to count. But I don't know if it gets any lower than being blown off my Tom Arnold.

Oh, wait, a few months ago I was blown off by Janice Dickerson, a new low.

Oh Daphne you are funny! Is Sigourney Weaver really tall? I love how you looked up to "talk" to her. I also love the pan out that you were in a bedroom!

I decided I am NEVER coming back to your site- you are beautiful, smart, AND funny… which means, God hates me, you are a droid, or you are an alien.

I play armchair heckler every year during awards season. Pre kids, me and my girlfriends would gather without fail annually and the peanut gallery started hours before the awards complete with wine and hor dhouvres. It was almost boring once the actual awards started the red carpet ridicule stopped. Now, with kids around, I need to be more covert with my couture criticisms because "it's not nice" and I am supposed to be setting an example for little humans. THAT'S WHY your posting was a freeing hoot for me! Thank you. You have quite a talent!

If your interested, here's my blog posting about the 2010 Golden Globes…
