It was Sunday, January 16, 2011 and I along with the majority of gays and gals watched the Golden Globe Awards.

I was bored, becoming antsy and ready to tune out when for a split second I witnessed something truly important.

What are you doing this Monday? Want to meet, in my opinion, the funniest woman in the world? Amy Sedaris, star of the cult classic TV series Strangers With Candy, frequent guest on the Late Show with David Letterman and author of I Like You: Hospitality Under The Influence (New York Times bestseller) is coming to Chapters Festival Hall (142 John Street) at 7pm for a chit chat with MTV’s Dan Levy, a craft demonstration and book signing in honor of her new book Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People. I have not been this excited to meet someone in a very long time. Amy Sedaris has brought years of laughter into my family’s home and I will forever be grateful for that. I’m hoping to surprise my Dad (who is her biggest fan) by bringing him to the signing!

Watch this clip of Amy on Letterman and I’ll see you on Monday!

Oh Tiger, what a twisted tale you have…

Another day and another salacious report on the state of Tiger Woods: the bizarre car crash, the jilted, humiliated wife, the ambulance leaving the Tiger den with a “mysterious blonde”, the 11 (and counting) mistresses, the buddy who hooked him up, the alleged drugs, the alleged purchasing of sexual favours, the millions in endorsements. It’s a gossip columnist’s wet dream.

This story has hit the media like a tsunami and even makes diddling David Letterman look like a choirboy. It has become fodder for massive amounts of speculation from sports and news pundits and amazing material for late night comic monologues. Read the full story

Who wants to have sex with David Letterman? Yea, neither do I. However, it seems a lot of women in his employ were made to feel it was a career option, hence the big discussion about sexual harassment in the media. I watched the video of Dave disclosing his peccadilloes and my first thought was, “His poor wife, she must be humiliated”. The second thought I had was how creepy it was that he was whoring his way through his own staff.

For the first couple of weeks it seemed Dave was off the hook. He was painted as the victim (!!) because he was targeted by an extortionist and then sort of a good guy for coming clean. It seemed no one was really pressing why he was flagrantly banging (or trying to bang) his employees. That all changed when the National Organization for Women took Dave to task, leveling sexual harassment charges at him. Good! Read the full story
