What I Learned on Daytime TV This Morning

Interesting day so far. I've had quite a few sedentary tasks this morning. Installing some apps on the new laptop, folding some laundry and sewing on a few buttons (such the Martha Stewart this morning, I know). So what better way to entertain myself while chugging along and sipping on the java, than some morning TV?

Here's some wisdom I picked up from Wednesday's morning TV entertainment smorgasbord:


* Bedbugs are infiltrating the nation's hotel industry. There's even a national summit planned in D.C. to discuss the epidemic!

* NBC's "Today" is giving away their tenth free wedding extravaganza and AMAZINGLY all 9 of the first lucky couples are still married and apparently doing well. (Maybe the show has tapped into the secret to wedded bliss - let someone else arrange and pay for your wedding!!)

* "Live with Regis & Kelly" substitute co-host Mark Consuelos does a mean Simon Cowell impersonation, but wife and show host Kelly Ripa does an even better incoherent Paula Abdul.

* Barbara Walters of "The View" has a radio show on Sirius every Monday at 6pm. Oh wait, I learn this every time Barbara makes an appearance on the show. And her book is now available in paperback. (She'll be sure to mention this some time this hour, too.)

* And 90210 alum Tori Spelling says she's just a woman like everybody else (just don't compare her to mama). Oh, and she's not withering away to 98 pounds as the tabloids are reporting. She must have at least 102 pounds on her.


Aah, the lessons of life as told by perky morning TV hosts and the latest tabloid news pubs and sites. Now, I can get to work!
