THE MONDAY COLUMN

My daughter GABBY and 12 of her friends enjoyed a huge birthday sleepover this weekend

Watching the SUPERBOWL on the new HD big-screen was awesome! Too bad I wasn't watchin' the BROWNS win it. When my team isn't playin', I root for a good game....and we sure got one. That catch in the end-zone was an all-timer! I was disappointed that JENNIFER HUDSON didn't sing the anthem and instead lip-synced. If you can't do that live, step aside for someone who can. Clearly she can sing, I don't know why they did that. It doesn't seem right...afterall, at 60, SPRINGSTEEN had no problem singin'....Loved the DORITOS and E-Trade commercials.

The countdown continues for our DISNEYWORLD broadcast at the AMERICAN IDOL EXPERIENCE February 9-13th. We will be live in Florida all week....I hear it's a lil warmer there...

THE NHSA is getting set for the spring soccer season in NORDONIA HILLS. I can't believe that it's our fourth season already! We have already started practicing with our 4 travel teams and registration is underway for our academy. I'm very proud of what we have accomplished and look forward for play to get underway.

JAMES MORRISON got some attention (finally) in The US when he performed on ELLEN's birth day show. It's a matter of time before he hits big here. I highly suggest you check out both of his CD's....

The doctor who let that woman have 8 kids in California should lose his right to practice...and that woman needs serious help...OPRAH and DIANE SAWYER should publicly deny her request to be interviewed for money. This is just wrong!

MICHAEL PHELPS is not a role model...he should have come out an apologized in his own words...having his press people release a statement is not sincere....TIGER WOODS is a role model....amazing work ethic and he let's his actions speak louder than his words....

My daughter celebrated her 10th birthday with a 12-friend all-girl sleepover. She had a blast and called it her "best birthday ever!". The party featured a game called THE HOTSEAT where we played a live game show with the guests as contestants. Lots of MILEY CYRUS, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL and JONAS BROTHERS music was played over the course of the seemingly 2-day event. The party featured a taco bar for dinner and sundae bar for dessert!
