One of my favorite movie moments occurs in "Rocky 3" when the statue of Rocky is unveiled. There's a high school band there, and they're playing the Theme from Rocky (Gonna Fly Now)."

There's an episode of "I Love Lucy" in which Little Ricky is being put to bed and all the crib accessories feature cartoon images of Lucy and Desi. Talk about breaking the fourth wall!

I've had a thing for Pierce Brosnan since "Mannions of America" back in the 70s. I have to say, I find him absolutely more attractive now that he's older and more filled out. Back in the old days, he was pretty but slight — he looked like I could bruise him with a hearty hug.

This would have saved my dad so much time if it had been available when I was a child / teen. He had to rely on the voices emanating from his cans of Rheingold.

Like Target and Kohls! I guess that's so that after you have the baby and hang on to the baby weight, you can shop in the same area.

I am sick of shopping in department stores that isolate their plus size departments to the far corners of the sales floor In case their regular clothes catch a case of "the fatties." Bloomingdales in the Short Hills Mall has their plus dept. in the basement, hidden behind domestics and right next to their snack bar. I…

I don't understand how people like that can look themselves in the mirrow, or how anyone can associate with them. Throwing away a defenseless, domesticated animal and leaving it to fend for itself is just pure cruelty. But it happens so often.

People who abandon dogs / cats / any kind of pet to the streets are disgusting and cruel. I hope karma is a real thing and comes back to kick them right in the ass.

I think Anthony Weiner is looking for a new communications director. This guy seems perfect for dealing with the NYC media!

It's true that Weiner's obsession with his own weiner put everything else in motion, but that doesn't excuse his staffers' subsequent bad behavior. I don't feel sorry for Olivia "Duckie" Nuzzi, since I'm sure the she will parlay her 5 minutes of notoriety into reality show fame, which is the only fame that seems to…

I have never given a wedding gift that wasn't cash or a check (except for the friend who registered for her honeymoon). I always figure the family will buy the registry stuff and the couple can use the money to get whatever else they want. Simple — and no shopping required. Except maybe getting a couple of $50 bills…

I'm torn on this. I don't mind working late to make up for a coworker who wants to go to her kid's soccer game, but I expect the same courtesy in return on the rare occasions that I have a personal appointment. Problem is, it's usually a one-way street, and that makes me mad. An emergency is one thing — but I had one…

Tish Cyrus has gigantic eyes! She reminds me of a Disney princess. Is there a trailer-trash fairytale?

When I was a kid (and into my teenage years), my parents were constantly telling me I was fat, comparing me to my thinner siblings (and finding me wanting, of course) and just making my life a misery. My dad was a mean alcoholic who couldn't hold a job but could roar "move your fat arse" any time I got between him and…

This morning, QVC was selling a garden edger / trimmer, so I watched the presentation because I need one. The host and the company rep both kept emphasizing that it was geared towards women, so it didn't have all the COMPLICATED STUFF that is found on the ones for men. Also, it weighed the same as a gallon of milk,…

I prefer the applicators with the little ridge at the bottom because the smooth ones (like Tampax) get too slippery and become impossible to push.

Judging by the unusually snug fit of his trousers, the singer REALLY loves Dr. Pepper.

Born in the Bronx! Though she may have moved to Westchester later on, since that's where she went to high school.

Um, the "small town" she came from is the Bronx. Which is part of that little backwater known as New York City!

Don't be alarmed at that rumbling beneath your feet. It's just Emily Post spinning in her grave.
