It's official: the world is only catering to the lowest common denominator. With this and the Kennedy Center Honors debacle, I give up. We already have the People's Choice Awards

ME TV has just started the show from the beginning again. Bub is back!

Liza Minnelli and Michael Feinstein salute Lucy for her birthday.

This is an interesting article from The Buffalo News about making the Comedy Center a tourist destination. The Comedy Center is truly amazing. It's incredibly high tech, classy, and fun. https://buffalonews.com/2018/08/06/the-stars-have-left-jamestown-so-whats-next-for-the-national-comedy-center/

From Lucie: Pass the word- I never gave any such interview “after sixty years” nor said that my folks had a “horrible divorce”. Sure, the marriage was painful at times -for all involved, but, their divorce was incredibly amicable and inspiring. They always loved each other. Till the day they both died. The Closer is a rag sheet that I have never wanted to give another interview to after the first article I was misquoted in years ago. Now you know why. But, I am surprised at People.com. One expects better from them. Anyway, sorry it is only online so we can’t wrap fish in it tomorrow. Love that they, at least, spelled my name correctly!😊

Lucy, Lucie, and Simon did have a train trip to New York. Lucy was really, really displeased by the train. Lucy and Lucie were on The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder in New York and discussed it. I've never seen this interview and it's probably my most wanted thing to see.

Besides the previously mentioned Dick, Liza, Carol, Carl, and Betty, I would also suggest Diahann Carroll, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters, Burt Bacharach, and the too controversial Jane Fonda and Woody Allen.

Edie Adams' son, Josh Mills, is doing a Tropicana luncheon on Friday.

I will never forgive them for not yet honoring Lin-Manuel Miranda's Mary Poppins Returns co-star Dick Van Dyke.

The 2018 Kennedy Center Honors has been announced. They are honoring the team behind "Hamilton." The Kennedy Center has proven they are not what they once were. Good for Cher, though. Washington’s “Summer of ‘Hamilton” will stretch into December, when the Kennedy Center Honors salute the groundbreaking musical and its four creators, marking the first time a work of art has been spotlighted at the annual celebration of the performing arts. “Hamilton” and its creative team — composer-lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, music director Alex Lacamoire, and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler— will receive a special honor Dec. 2 in a ceremony that also salutes the lifetime achievements of composer Philip Glass, singer-actresses Cher and Reba McEntire, and jazz musician Wayne Shorter. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/in-kennedy-center-honors-first-hamilton-to-be-awarded-prestigious-arts-prize/2018/07/24/3c3d33b0-8f7e-11e8-b769-e3fff17f0689_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.3d497b405542
