My 1st big concert was Usher OPENING for Janet Jackson! 🤠
Janet's #VelvetRope Tour 🎪 July 10, 1998 @ Cleveland's Gund Arena 🏟️
Usher was just 19!! 🙀 My Way era. 🥽 Hard to believe — he was already such a refined singer and dancer, and so smooth... 25 years later, I enjoyed the #Superbowl show.

This doll’s leg broke a while ago, and we couldn’t find the part that broke off…
Came to find the 5 year-old had apparently taken matters into her own hands, and performed surgery with what she had available!! 😂🩻 We stan for Lil’ Miss Dr. Finklestein! 🙌

RIP, First Lady Rosalynn Carter — who enjoyed 77 years of marriage with President Jimmy Carter! 💒
I was profoundly moved by an interview the Carters did a few years ago, where they talked about The Carter Center’s focus on eradicating guinea worm. 🧵

No matter how massively played it was, her rendition of “Nothing Compares 2U” is one of the best covers of all time 💖
Sinead O’Connor performing at Madison Square Garden in 1992 🌟 Her brilliance won’t be dimmed by the tragedy of her untimely passing. RIP!

Y’all, I was SO nervous about interviewing Donny Osmond — ‘cuz he & Marie have been interviewed by all the GOATs *and* hosted their own talk show! 😬
So reading that Donny enjoyed our conversation — on my birthday, no less — for WOUB PBS has me joyous! ✨ Check out our interview! 🤠👉 bit.ly/3rIZ6yy

Tina Turner was 44 when she notched her first #1 .
8 years after leaving Ike.
Her eldest son was 25.
Tina's supersonic talent goes without saying.
But her perseverance was just as extraordinary.
That turn to the camera in "What's Love Got To Do With It" embodies perseverance ❤️🔥 RIP!

Dolly Parton and Naomi Judd were born only 8 days apart, in January of 1946.
It is wonderful to see Dolly pay tribute to her at #ACMawards It’s still incredible that a 38 year-old Baby Boomer and her teenage daughter from Ashland, Kentucky took the ‘80s by storm; 14 number one songs, alone! 🙀

MANY thanks to CMT for inviting me to the taping of The Judds’ Final Concert! 🤗

Why doesn’t Dianne Feinstein give her historic career a “dignified departure,” and resign at this “delicate part of her life and her Senate service”?
No one is more pleased by her refusal to resign than Mitch McConnell. This is utter insanity.

1936.
That was the year MAD Magazine illustrators Al Jaffee and Will Elder posed for this photograph, in their New York High School of Music and Art cafeteria 👇🤓
Al went on to live for another 87 years. Just incredible! RIP to both! 🖖

At 102, I hope he’s finally reunited with his mother, whom he suspected died in a Nazi camp.
During WWII, he developed art therapy programs for soldiers. ✍️

I don’t want to engage with her, nor drive traffic to her miserable rant —
but I am struck by how Megyn Kelly received a $30 million severance from NBC… and yet seems to be a sincerely unhappy & unfulfilled person, despite that unimaginable fortune 🙁

Happy Birthday, Jessica Chastain! 🎂
Attending CMT’s #GeorgeAndTammy premiere was unforgettable! 🎥
My mom’s BFF just told her that she wasn’t into country, but my review prompted her to try it — she wound up watching the whole miniseries TWICE! 🤩
Bravo on your FANTASTIC year! 💫
