“America’s Mom”, Barbara Billingsley, who played June Cleaver on “Leave to Beaver has passed away at 94. She told TV Guide, “I think everybody would like a family like that. Wouldn’t it be nice if you came home from school and there was Mom standing there with her little apron and cookie’s waiting?” She also denied feminist charges that June Cleaver was a doormat. As for why June mopped the floor in pearls and high heels, Billingsley herself suggested the pearls to make her neck look better on camera, and started wearing high heels so she would still look taller than the growing Wally and the Beav.
Plus the high heels really got Eddie Haskell hot and bothered.
What’s the big deal? Adam Lambert vacuums in pearls and pumps all the time and nobody bats an eye.
PERSONAL NOTE: I nicknamed the late, great Mark Andrews, “Doctor Mark Andrews” because he knew everything there was to know about “Leave it to Beaver”. We used to ask people to call up and ask trivia questions about the show, and he was unstumpable! I awarded him an doctorate in “Beav-ology”… and the rest is history!
Thursday is Kim Kardashians 30th birthday, and she told People magazine that she has mixed feelings about it. Kim said, “Sometimes, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m turning 30.’ And I’m freaking out. Like, it sounds so old. And then the other half of me is like, ‘I feel so accomplished…”
OMG! She is… like… soooo philosophical!
If having a big butt makes you “accomplished”, then half the people on the Jerry Springer show should get life-time achievement awards.
For That Warm, Fuzzy Feeling…
J. Crew is getting a lot of ridicule online over a new line of tights for young women. They have a lacy, fawn pattern over a lighter backdrop. But unless you’re close enough or have a hi-def monitor, the lacy patern is too light to detect and it just looks as if the model has really hairy legs. J. Crew’s website describes the tights as “an essential ingredient in the season’s textural mash-up.”
Whatever the hell that means!
This is perfect if you want that European leg look!
They should call it, “The Robin Williams Collection”.
*** I think the picture below says it all! What do you think?
Not Tonight, Honey…
Friday, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Botox as a treatment for chronic migraine headaches. Sufferers can get Botox injections around the neck and head every 12 weeks to dull future headaches. But the FDA says Botox hasn’t been shown to work on people who have headaches for less than 14 days out of the month.
So this is good news for you lucky people who get Migraine headaches at least 14 days a month!
Have a great day and by the way, my favorite comedienne. the incredible Kathleen Madigan is at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle this Thursday thru Saturday! (Oct. 21-23). Go to http://www.comedycastle.com/ or call 248-542-9900 for tickets and show times!
