I love me a three-day weekend, and I am starting today sunburnt and rested and READY after several days of island-hopping and unplugging. Last night, I was happy to fly back into the arms of Diana Ross on Bravo and an "Amazing Race All-Stars" waiting in my DVR.

For a fan like me, the Diana Ross "Inside the Actors Studio" was a gift. She "went there" in discussing the minutiae of her career -- from the Brewster Projects to now. I, of course, might've liked her to go there even deeper but I will take what I can get of Ross whenever I can get it.

She sang a ton of songs and sounded fantastic -- man, was it fun being there for her soundcheck! The clips from her films and concerts are fantastic and much of her family was sitting in the front row. You really get a sense of the lady. Bravo is re-running this special two-hour IAS, so if you missed it you need to see it.

I was so pissed at CBS when I attempted to watch my DVR'd "Amazing Race" and discovered that a sports overrun had cocked up their entire schedule. Isn't football OVER? What the hell sport is responsible and isn't there some correction that could take place within the local news to get them back on schedule?

OK blah blah blah re: CBS but I did get to see Anderson Cooper's "60 Minutes" profile on Kenny Chesney, which was entertaining for various reasons, and then the first half of AR. Almost all my favorite teams are back -- except for Chip and Kim and a few others. Seeing Myrna and Charla back in the race is going to be a PLEASURE! And God Bless John Vito and Jill. I love them.

I flipped through two days of the New York Post to re-engage in the continuation of Britney's long, national cry for help. I did read amongst the craziness that part of the impetus for this headshave was that her hair is so broken and fried that she just wanted to "start over" with a new head of it. That makes sense to me, but I can't -- no I WON'T -- give BritBrit the benefit of the doubt anymore because if it was just about broken hair maybe she would've gone to a hair professional and not a chick called Esther in the valley. (I forgot her name.)
