I Can't Wait to See Grey Gardens!
Drew Barrymore looks amazing in this -- is this her big moment? Wow, I can't get over how spot on she looks in this role. I know what I'll be watching April 18.

For Your Consideration: Ana Ortiz
All you Ugly Betty fans out there -- I know you know what I'm talking about. Ana Ortiz plays Betty's older sister Hilda Suarez, and she really shines. But she never seems to get any nomination love.
After last week's episode, I feel she is really due some attention. She killed it in a big scene with Betty that almost had Dane and me in tears. Television Academy readers, please note my strong recommendation that Ana Ortiz be nominated in the Best Supporting Actress-Comedy category for Ugly Betty. Thank you.

A Must-Share
I'm sorry, readers, I really am. But this is about the most fierce (as in fabulous) anti-gay site I've ever perused. I'm just sharing. I think this Peter LaBarbera might be obsessed with us.
Americans For Truth About Homosexuality
If you need a palate cleanser:
Americans For Truth About Homosexuality
If you need a palate cleanser:
The Gay Coats Are Coming! The Gay Coats Are Coming!
I usually leave the political commentary up to Brady, but I feel I must share this fair and balanced article:
"Gay America Prepares to Party at Obama Inauguration"
Please read and ponder.
It's rather laughable, right? Nothing is really fair or balanced about it at all, and I don't need to go into what we've all known for years about Fox News. But it's just a really bad piece of journalism. There are way more comments from conservatives than gay activists, and there are two points where the piece takes wild tangents: the discussion about Mid-Atlantic Leather weekend (what?? what does it have to do with the inauguration at all??) and the Prop 8 mention.
Hasn't it been proven that Prop 8 protesters never harmed anyone? Isn't it S.E. Cupp's responsibility to offer a rebuttal to Rev. Mahoney's claim that protesters were "defacing and vandalizing churches and places of worship, and attacked people of faith because they did not share their beliefs?"
And, really, what kind of name is S.E. Cupp anyway?
Sorry for this post; I promise to bring you some pop fluff next time. Matter of fact, to keep things fair and balanced Pink style, enjoy this:

An Annual Holiday Tradition
Happy New Year, dear readers. I hope that 2009 brings you health, wealth, and love. You deserve it.
I just returned from two holiday trips, and boy are my arms tired. I'm certainly not complaining, no not me, but it was a lot of work. I'm looking forward to getting back into a less hectic daily routine.
As soon as I got home, I setttled into my new favorite holiday tradition: struggling to get through the Kennedy Center Honors. I got turned onto this dead horse of a show back when Beyonce killed a rendition of Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" in 2005, and Ms. Knowles-Carter did it again this year. TrinityAGH, how can you not love her?
Beyonce wowed me in her tribute to Barbara Streisand by singing "The Way We Were." Her performance is delicate, and simple, and lovely. I watched it twice yesterday, and just watched it two more times this morning. I love her look, her hair, her earrings, she's just butter, so they say.
But, my true favorite was Bettye LaVette killing a song I'd never heard before in a tribute to The Who's Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. Why Ms. LaVette is not a household name, I'll never know -- according to Wikipedia, she only recently gained fame with her 2007 album The Scene of the Crime. Wacky, are you a fan? I'm guessing you are and know all about her.
She performed "Love Reign O'er Me," and I promise you won't be able to stop watching it. Her voice has an ease and a sadness to it that is intoxicating. I'm going to have to find more of her work for sure.
Hope you enjoy these performances as much as I do.
Check out Beyonce and "The Way We Were" here:
