'Larry King Live' He gets the guests you want to see -- and asks the questions you want answered. No one else gets the most influential newsmakers and world-renowned celebrities to open up like Larry King. VIEWER'S CHOICE! Let us know who YOU want to see MOST on Larry King Live! www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/Not sure if this is the right location for this post, but thought you might all like to respond to the above request for suggestions for who we'd like to see Larry King interview. My choice is APOLO ANTON OHNO ! What do you think? Musical Mom musicalmom, thank you for this info. Even though I think Larry King is a poor interviewer as of late, I will write to the show in hopes of an in-depth Apolo interview--LK's cluelessness sometimes makes the show painful to watch IMO, but maybe I'll be delightfully surprised. I for one have heard more than I care to about Lindsey's drinking, Paris's partying, and Britany's - well everything. Let's see some positive young role models in the media for a change!  mtnme, you are not alone, and while many of us feel like you do the sad truth is that these people are constantly in the media because many, of the younger set especially, are fascinated by and idolize these "stars"  |

Jess of "Wazz Up In Utah" has updated her blog. She addresses the always fascinating question, with what lucky lady or ladies is Apolo choosing to spend his time? Her answer is a brunette (with "dark chocolate-brown hair") AND a blonde. wuiu.blogspot.com/ |

LOL  Although I think I can plausibly say that Susie is a 'strawberry' blond. You guys handle it. We will await details.....  |

We will await details..... Well now, that's exactly what I was thinking. Where's the redhead? And may I respectfully point out that as a strawberry blonde, I can cover both the blonde and the redhead angles?  |

OK, Wags, If I didn't have a rip-roaring cold at the moment, that last comment would have had me snorting out loud! (The best I can manage right now is a stuffy 'squeek') But I'm laughing babe, laughing....  Wildfire- huh, duh wha? Harassing? to You my sweet?- not a chance! But you ARE a red head - no doubt about it! (Hey, you want to meet Apolo don't you? We're just trying to get you there....work with us here!  ) |

Thanks Susie for the blog update(s) and to musicalmom for the LKL idea!!! Fingers crossed! Hey wildfire, no embarassment intended... ..... however, " faint of heart never won fair lady". (Or really handsome skaters.)  But if it really embarasses you, I'm happy to take up 'the cause' along with Wags and hit the Walgreens. Although I draw the line at going blond. I don't think I could live with the stereotype.... no insult intended to those who are fair of hair. |

Here's part of an article I found this morning: US prospects good for 2010 Games By John Powers Globe Staff / February 25, 2008 It'll be almost like being at home. The XXI Olympic Winter Games will begin in Vancouver two years from now, which means that the United States athletes will be able to go Greyhound, speak a version of their language (eh!), and eat familiar food. And while the Americans aren't likely to match the record 34 medals they won in Salt Lake City in 2002, they could well exceed the 25 they collected in Turin two years ago, which was by far their best effort at an overseas Games. Once again, most of the haul should come in the ice sports, particularly from the prolific speedskaters, who grabbed 10 in 2006, and the snowboarders figure to rinse it again. The big bump this time could come from the skeleton sledders, who were shut out in Italy but could pick up several medals in Canada if they keep their noses to the ice. As usual, the Germans will be the bunch to catch and the host Canucks, Austrians, Russians, and Norwegians will be in the chase pack. For the Yanks, the variables will be the mercurial Alpine skiers (will Bode Miller change his mind and show up?), short-tracker Apolo Anton Ohno, and the half-pipers, those random princes (and princesses) of midair. A sport-by-sport look at the prospects (US 2006 medals/2010 projected medals in parentheses): SHORT-TRACK SPEEDSKATING (3/3): Now that he has danced with the stars, Ohno is primed to carry the load for a third time. He'll be a medal threat in all three individual races and should anchor the relay to a bronze. The women will be better with a healthy Halie Kim, Allison Baver, and rising star Katherine Reutter and could medal in the relay. But the Koreans and Chinese still will crowd everybody out. It's been their sport for a while now. www.boston.com/sports/other_sports/olympics/articles/2008/02/25/us_prospects_good_for_2010_games/ |
