Had the chance to see two great shows at Andiamo Celebrity Show Room in Warren last week… David Foster & Katherine McPhee on Wednesday, then Frankie Scinta on Friday. But the real star of the show BOTH nights was the amazing little girl you see with me in the pic. That’s Lia Lucci, 11, a local girl who happened to be in the audience with her parents at the David Foster show Wednesday and got a chance to sing Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton’s hit “I Will Always Love You”. To say Miss Lucci was astounding is an understatement. She was incredible… and they invited her back to perform with Frankie on Friday. Remember her name: Lia Lucci. She’s going places!!!

FYI… “I Will Always Love You” was actually written and recorded by Dolly Parton in 1973… before Whitney Houston asked Dolly if she could record it - which she did and had a HUGE hit with it in 1992. It almost got the “Royal Treatment”… when Elvis asked Dolly if HE could record the song… but, believe it or not, Dolly turned him down!

A new study out of Canada found that Birth Control Pills alter the part of Women’s brains responsible for Emotion, Anxiety and Fear… and might make them more likely to “take risks”.

- Well I can think of ONE risk taking the Pill is gonna make them more willing to take.

Four men have been charged for stealing a $6 MILLION 18-carat solid gold toilet stolen from the home where Winston Churchill was born in 1874.

- In the words of Winston himself… “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Maybe he WASN’T talking about WWII… Maybe he was foretelling this whole toilet theft thing… “And when the waves of Tourists begin to arrive in years to come… they’ll have a place to put their End” !!!

A biologically female author from Toronto who came out as a transgender man last August after his now wife (who was his husband for 19 years) - came out as a trans woman - has announced that their son is now their daughter and they are now in a four way open-relationship with their respective trans lovers.

- Just in time for the Holidays!

- I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they try to figure out the “Secret Santa” exchange in THAT family!

According to a new survey, 4 in 10 parents admit they don’t want to be like their own Parents.

- The other 6 in 10 couldn't be reached for comment as they were outside yelling at the neighborhood kids to get offa their lawn.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Wednesday!
