Things I Was Going To Write About

It is a really slow day gossip wise. When it is like that it can be a struggle to find something interesting to talk about that is longer than four or five lines long. So, I thought I would use one post to talk about more than one thing. Novel and exciting isn't it?

Siegfried & Roy

The ambiguously gay duo known as Siegfried and Roy will be coming back to the stage and performing for at least one show. The show will take place in Las Vegas sometime within the next year. It has been almost five years since Roy Horn almost died on stage. I have seen their show three or four times and I always thought it was good, but they have never been my favorite magicians in Vegas. I am glad though that Roy is doing better. I mean it is bad enough you have a heart attack on stage during a show, but then the tiger sensing you are down for the count, moves in, and drags you by your neck off the stage. I wonder if the fact that he had a heart attack and was probably more calm is what saved him from dying when the tiger got him.

Jerry Springer is 64

Jerry Springer is 64 today and when his show started in 1991, I don't think anyone thought it would be quite the icon it has become. I seem to recall when he came on the air there was already Sally and Jenny Jones, and Oprah was still doing the same kind of shows, but just starting to wean off of the shock, and moving to her holier than thou persona. With the exception of Oprah, Jerry made the most and did the best by showing people that no matter how miserable your life was or had become, Jerry could find someone you could look down on and make fun of. And the thing is it took him a long time to get all the way down to the bottom. There really was nothing better than just sitting back and relaxing by watching an hour of Jerry. If you have 40 minutes today, you can watch a best of Jerry below. If you have only a few minutes you can watch my favorite "guess what I'm a man episode," which is the second one.
