Keith Olbermann, Thank You!

Mustoolbermann-390.jpg
​For more than six years, I was a regular on your show, and from the start I felt we had a way more comfortable rapport than, let's say, Spitzer and whatshername.

As we chewed over topics from Tom Cruise's love life to Sarah Palin's family values and beyond, I'd say impishly outrageous things and you'd simultaneously blush and egg me on.

R.I.P., Eddie Fisher

EddieFisherCokeTime.JPG
​In the 1950s, Eddie Fisher made himself a walking punchline for the rest of his life by dumping America's sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, in favor of the vamp next door, Elizabeth Taylor, as any sensible person would do.

He was basically the original Brad Pitt.

Li'l Debbie was furious, but years later, she and Liz eventually bonded over a raging dislike for Eddie, who came to represent the worst aspects of oily, skirt-chasing men.

Dr. Laura Says Bye-Bye for Now

DrLauraSchlessingerByPhilKonstantin.jpg
​So Dr. Laura Schlessinger is not renewing her radio contract because she'd rather go somewhere where her views will be more accepted?

But a sewer doesn't pay!

I love how someone can spew intolerance on a regular basis and then paint themselves as free speech heroes who are battling evil political correctness.

Back in the day, Laura was booted off daytime TV when the gays mobilized to call her on her crap and demand that advertisers stop supporting her hideous, hate-infused rhetoric.

​She's gone.

Rue McClanahan, who so memorably vamped it up as the narcissistic but lovable Southern belle Blanche on Golden Girls, is now in the sit-com land in the sky.

​Bad news for those hoping that the well-liked Patrick Swayze would get a second career wind from beyond.

One of the last movies made by the Ghost star was a period piece called Jump, in which he played the lawyer for a photographer who killed his father.

Why I Loved Lynn Redgrave

lynnredgrave.jpg
​She was such a fine actress and esteemed wit--one of those people you wanted to have around forever, to elevate the culture just by entering a room.

Finding her own niche within one of the most illustrious acting dynasties of all time, Lynn exploded in 1967's Georgy Girl, in which she was the plump, searching gal who was "always window shopping but never stopping to buy."
