Barry Manilow, Friar
I went to Barry Manilow's induction into the Friar's Club yesterday. It was an interesting glimpse into the workings of the club, but not as exciting as you might guess. I know!
First of all, Queen of Mean Lisa Lampanelli gave a heartfelt speech on how Manilow was the soundtrack to her life; she even teared up a little in her earnestness. It was sweet, but roasty? Not quite.
Manilow himself had a nice zinger though. He thanked Lampanelli for being kind, saying, "I've been roasted everyday of my life since 'Mandy' came out." It was the high point of the event. There you go, now it's like you were there.
