Project Runway 11.13: Ding Dong! Tim Gunn Calling!
Can you imagine if you were in your house, and the doorbell rang, and it was Tim Gunn? Wouldn’t you be just the happiest person in the world? Or would you suddenly remember that it’s been three months since you last cleaned your bathroom? (Shame on you! How hard is it to bust out a little Clorox once in a while?) Or perhaps it isn’t a surprise. Perhaps you’ve had, say, four months to plan ahead for this visit. What would you arrange to have in the house for Tim? Tea? Fondue? Corgi puppies? WHAT WOULD TIM GUNN LIKE?
Anyway, certain citizens of Taos, Portland, Austin, and Los Angeles got to answer some of these questions for themselves this week. After being sent away with instructions to make twelve looks for a Fall collection to show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Patricia, Michelle, Daniel, and Stanley all receive visits from one mentor extraordinaire; meanwhile, the rest of us get to learn about how to be better human beings.

Former “President” George W. Bush told Parade Magazine in an interview published Friday that he hopes his brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will run for president in 2016.
When asked if the country is ready for another Bush, he said, “That’s for Jeb to figure out, you know what I mean? I would hope that people would judge [him], if Jeb were to run, on his merits* and his track record.…So I hope he will run.”

Chicago Blackhawks: Our Madhome on Madison and Our National Anthem
There is no greater feeling than being at a Chicago Blackhawks game. While walking into the Madhouse (as the United Center is called) spectators see the history and culture surrounding the team that has been held so near and dear in homes across the Chicagoland area and the nation.
What makes Blackhawks games unique, and separates them from all other sports teams is without question the national anthem.

Ann Curry’s final days at TODAY; staff makes fun of her; “professional torture” says Curry
It was no “picnic” for Ann Curry on the TODAY Show. We all know about “Mean Matt” by now.
But reporter Brian Stelter, who has written a book about morning talk-TV, sheds surprising new light on Curry’s final months on the show. After reading the report, one must wonder, did Ann work for high-ranking executives at a legitimate broadcasting company or for teens at a high-school-run cable access program?

Carol Burnett: Hip to be “Square”
The “char-lady,” Mrs. Wiggins, Eunice Harper Higgins…
Carol Burnett’s classic characters from her old CBS TV show retain their timeless comic spark despite the passing of the decades. This month the comedian turns—God bless us all—80 years old. She doesn’t look it. And I bet she still has the vocal prowess to execute her famous Tarzan yell.
This afternoon Burnett is to be feted when the intersection of Highland and Selma avenues in Hollywood is christened Carol Burnett Square. It’s right next to her alma mater, Hollywood High. According to playbill.com, the honoree is scheduled to attend the festivities.
