Re: “Eli Stone,” I have to say George Michael IS looking remarkably like Billy Joel and Simon Cowell’s love child these days.
Speaking of Brits with an attitude ... cheers to Piers Morgan on his win in last night’s season finale. Sometimes Morgan needs to put a sock in it—the man does NOT know when to keep quiet—but it’s hard to argue with the $376,000 he raised at auction for his favorite charity, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
I thought for just a second he might fall on hard times when Bossman Donald Trump questioned Morgan’s reasoning for making the food less conspicuous and the alcohol more obvious. But money trumped (ha!) heavy hors d’oeuvres, and Morgan was HIRED.
Just a word about No. 2, country star Trace Adkins, who raised a nice chunk ($64,000) for his charity, Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. The total might not have been as impressive—clearly Morgan’s speed-dial is chock-full of moneybags—but it’s true what everyone said. Adkins just might be the nicest guy in the biz. Any biz, really.
But he sure could use a new ‘do.
Even Ivanka (Ms. Trump Jr.) was impressed, bidding $50,000 or $60,000 to have dinner with Adkins. Of course, Simon Cowell bid $100,000 to go shopping with Ivanka. Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on THAT wall?!
Without all the unneccessary folderol that reality shows insist on foisting upon us, the show could have made a nice, compact half-hour finale instead of dragging on for two hours. Still, the ending was ... interesting ... and one can only hope we’re finally rid of Omarosa forever.
Knowing The Donald, however, she’ll show up again. How else is she gonna pay the rent?
