Speaking of the Geraldo show, our fellow gossip columnist, CJ, who appeared with us on the weekly gossip panel, dug up this great old photo from the show. From left to right you have Mike Walker from The National Enquirer, Janet Charlton from Star Magazine, Ted Casablanca from E!, Geraldo the host, CJ from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and Cindy Adams from the New York Post. As an opinionated group we did a lot of gossip shows together, and had loads of fun.

LEEZA GIBBONS IS A WINNER NO MATTER WHAT

We were NOT surprised to see that the two finalists competing to win Celebrity Apprentice are Geraldo Rivera and Leeza Gibbons. Both had successful daytime talk shows in the 90’s and we appeared on both shows multiple times, gossiping. While Geraldo is a great guy, he can’t hold a candle to Leeza, simply because he is a man. Geraldo is clever but he bullied his way to the finals and egotistically clashed with other contestants. With no histrionics, Leeza simply used her brain and organization skills, along with her inherent kindness and regard for others. She never embarrassed herself or anyone else. No petty feuds. Here’s hoping Leeza and her Alzheimer’s charity triumph!

GERALDO IS RIGHT: DON’T LET YOUR KIDS WEAR HOODIES!

Viewers were outraged today when Geraldo Rivera stated on “Fox and Friends” that he thought “the hoodie he wore was as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.” Of course this IS a questionable choice of words and George Zimmerman appears to be guilty of murder, but the hoodie MAY have played a part in his death. Geraldo said “It’s common sense for minorities to avoid wearing hoodies.” He believes parents should NOT allow their kids to go out wearing hoodies. He said “It’s those crime surveillance tapes – every time you see someone sticking up a 7-11, the kid is wearing a hoodie. Kids that look like gangsters will be treated like gangsters.” Rivera stressed that seventeen year old Martin was innocent and didn’t deserve to die. He hopes this issue will enlighten parents. We totally see Geraldo’s point. Did you know hoodies are banned at all events where President Obama makes an appearance?
