STAR STUDDED FRIDAY!
When I was first pitched Mitchel Musso as a guest for our morning show, I had to pinch myself. I had to put the PR rep on hold and catch my breath.
Oh, and more importantly, ask everyone in the newsroom if they knew what the hell a Mitchel Musso is.
I mean, it had to be somebody BIG because it only uses one "L" in the first name.
Then, the PR representative on the phone went on to tell me that Mitchel Musso was an actor and he is "Oliver Oken," one of the stars of Disney's mega-hit televison series "Hannah Montana."
Well, that about did me in. I almost fainted. You see, even though I don't have kids or even like them that much, I hear that this show is probably the most incredible phenomenon since "Punky Brewster."
Well, Mitchel could not have been nicer. He shook hands. He took pics with our camera people and their kids. Holy crap! He should run for President!
But, he's 14.
I mean, after the interview, we jokingly told him that he was one of the best guests we've had since Henry Kissinger was on our show. He tilted his bewildered head like a Shitzu. I think he thought that Henry Kissinger was a rapper from the 80's.
But still, he's a very talented kid and he's lucky enough to be a part of one of the greatest shows on Earth.
Just like me. I am going to puke now.
Check him out at the Hollywood Blvd Cinema in Woodridge today! Click on www.atriptothemovies.com for details on how to win tickets to tomorrow night's "Hannah Montana" show.

Also....Amanda Bynes had a diva-like edict: She would greet no more than three fans.
Wow.
Bill Cosby must've posed for 30 photos when he was here several weeks ago.
Souljaboy's peeps called to say he'd be late but that he was almost to the station.
"Where are you," we asked.
"Blue Island," his peep replied.
They were an hour late but they made the end of the show.

Isn't great that we won't even remeber Amanda Bynes in 5 years?

Who? And better yet, who cares? I know I don't!

Isn't it great to see a young star that is polite, and thankful for the opportuniy that he has been given. I am happy to see you profile such a positive role model for my children to see in the midst of all of these controversial young stars that are acting out their teenage anxt for all the world to see and wager on. As a parent of three impressionable young people I appreciate and applaud your choice. Thank you.

I was really impressed with him. My girls love HM so I knew who he was, and I was expecting, mmm, precocious. But he was actually a really nice kid.
