  • Remember To Sir With Love? Lulu Starred In It With Sidney Portier, She Talks Acting, Her Personal Life, And Her Show In New York
    To hear her name, is to bring back so many memories. If you grew up in the 1960's you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing Shout, To Sir With Love, Boom,Bang-A-Bang or the James Bond Soundtrack, The Man With The Golden Gun. Lulu is a Scottish singer who was born in Glasgow.
    At the very tender age of 15 she was signed to Decca Records, and the rest is history. I was curious about what she thought made her turn out so normal, when so many other young, teenage stars, somehow go wayward, and end up dead or really messed up. She had an interesting answer.
    She has appeared on stage in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Song and Dance", as well as the Royal National Theatre's "Guys and Dolls." , she has hosted her own television program, "Happening For Lulu", and hosted a radio show on Capitol Radio, she continues to tour and make beautiful music too. If you're lucky you'll catch her on QVC, she's proudly can say she is 65 years old and looks 35. QVC markets her beauty regimen.
    Fun lady to talk to about her crazy life in the biz, her loves, The Beatles, the Bee Gees and lots of other nuggets of info.

  • Peter Yarrow, From Peter Paul and Mary Talks Bob Dylan, Dr. Martin Luther King, Puff The Magic Dragon And His New Book I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog
    How often do you get to say Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul, and Mary sang me a Valentine's Day Song, and so today I am Peter Yarrow's valentine.
    America has it's folk music and Peter Yarrow, of Peter Paul and Mary, is right there at the top. They performed at the 1963 March On Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream Speech." Never once, did I think I would ever have the opportunity to talk to someone who was actually at that march, that day. (Thank you Peter for sharing in detail what that day looked and felt like. WOW!)
    Peter, Paul and Mary came up at a time when they were inspired to make music that meant something socially. There was a cause, a purpose, a reason that they were doing what they were doing. It wasn't for "celebrity" like so many chase after today. I believe they recognized that they had a platform and an opportunity to affect social change in a positive way. Who really does that in music today? GaGa is the only one that is at the top of my mind.
    Peter published Puff The Magic Dragon a few years back, a children's book, but really loved by all. His latest book is "I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog." In it he touches on prejudice and racial issues, hopefully this story will somehow open those little minds up and allow a new thought to be pushed in.

  • Katie Beers, The Little 9 Year Old Girl Who Was Kidnapped, Endured Sexual & Emotional Abuse In A Dungeon For 17 Days, Buried Memories: Katie Beers Story
    Wow, this was a difficult conversation for me to have, not because of nerves or anything but because of the subject, a cute, little, bright eyed, 9 year old girl, who innocently went with a family friend, as she had done many times before, but this time was different.
    He kidnapped her and abused her sexually and emotionally for 17 days, 7 feet beneath the ground in a coffin size, sound proof room.

  • SEX! Are You Normal? Pepper Schwartz, Author Of The Normal Bar Talks About Money, Lying, Commitment & Happiness
    I told Pepper when I began to read The Normal Bar, it sort of reminded me of The Kinsey Report. If you've ever wondered if you are normal, is your sex life normal, or how you compare to other couples; Doctor Pepper Schwartz and her colleagues delved into sexuality, love and relationships in her new book entitled The Normal Bar: The Surprising Secrets Of Happy Couples And What They Reveal About Creating A New Normal In Your Relationship.
    This is an interesting book to read for comparison, but it is also a helpful book to study as well. Learn what other couples, who have managed to have successful relationships, all have in common.

  • Brian Hare, Founder of Duke University's Dog Cognition Lab @ Author Of The Genius Of Dogs
    So you think you might have the smartest dog on the planet well, that might just be true! You can find out by visiting www.dognition.com
    Have you ever wondered if your dog feels guilt? Why does he do the things he does? Dogs are smarter than you think and Brian shows you that in his new book. Can a dog make inferences?(an inference is coming to a logical conclusion, anticipating what's coming next) Why don't dogs like some people from the get go? What about Fido, does he have a language of his own, through the sounds he makes vocally?
    Brian's book The Genius Of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think is a wonderful read for anyone who wants to understand the mind of their furry friend a little bit better. We're not talking brain studies here, where animals are harmed or hurt in any way. This is more about how the brain of a dog works.
    Past testing has shown that people have a tendency to look at the left side of a person's face first when looking at them. It's unconscious, but it happens. Experiments have shown that dogs do the same thing. The left side of the face, when looking at a person apparently shows more about where a person's emotions are at at the time. Who would have thought that?
    In past days we may have thought we, the human species, were closest in behavior to the chimp. But after reading Brian's book I think dogs are right up there. (I've always thought that but now there is proof)

  • Charles Murray, Political Scientist, Columnist, & Washington D.C. Pundit, Talks His New Book, Coming Apart: The State Of White America 1960-2010
    Charles Murray is an America Libertarian, Political Scientist, and Pundit who is currently working as a fellow at the American Institute, a conservative "Think Tank" in Washington D.C.
    He has also authored other books including The Bell Curve, that drew much criticism from the African American community. His latest book Coming Apart: The State Of White America 1960-2010, chronicles the changes in America that have affected the white population.
    In days gone by, there was always an upper and lower class. Whites typically fell into to upper class demo and other ethnicities were fighting and working hard to also be a part of the upper class society.
    In Charles' book Coming Apart, he explores and talks about the upper and lower class within the white population of America over the past 50 years.
    This was a truly fascinating book to read. The soft cover was released the end of January, and includes the latest 2012 census which corroborates many, if not most of Charles' earlier discoveries.

  • Susan Cain, Former Corporate Lawyer, Featured on Ted.com, Now Author of Quiet: The Power Of Introverts In A World That Can't Stop Talking
    I bet you might have even watched Susan Cain's viral video on Ted.com. So far it has 3 million plus views and growing everyday.
    Susan has written a wonderful book on the assets and struggles of being an introvert. She is a self confessed introvert, I took the test on her website, and I also am an overwhelming introvert. So what is the scoop on these interesting creatures that don't appear to fit into society as well as the extroverts do? What can, and do, they bring to the table? Talents & gifts that go unnoticed, and unrecognized, in a society that seems to only reward boisterous, loud, "squeaky-wheel-gets-the-grease" kind of behavior.
    Susan explains how in America's early days the strong, silent, pensive, type was a big part of where new innovations came from in this country. While the extroverts are the face, the introverts are the brains. (my words not hers) Why? Because they have more time for thinking....
    Both personality types bring an equally important value to the table. But in recent years it appears the introvert's value has decreased, I believe, at the sacrifice of new and innovative technology in America. That, and the fact that many 1st & 2nd grade classes were strewn about with 3/4 of the kids on Ritalin. That pretty much snuffs out creativity and critical thinking, but that's a story for another time.
    Get her book! Susan Cain is "right on" with everything. People love her and what she has to say.

  • Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" Actress & Animal Activist Tippi Hendren Talks About Hitchcock, Shambala, The ROAR Project & Her Daughter Melenie Griffith
    Tippi Hendren and I opened the interview with talk about about director/ producer Alfred Hitchcock and his sexual advances toward her that have just come to light.
    If you watch "Mad Men" it's kind of that type of behavior. Women were more afraid to do anything about it, than today, but we still have a very long way to go. As Tippi recalls, it would have been different if it happened to her today, in 2013. If it would have happened to her today, she would have been awarded thousands of dollars from winning a lawsuit. Now she is interested in educating other women about this.
    Tippi also talked about her love of animals, Michael Jackson's animals that came to live with her after his death, and Shambala, The R.O.A.R. Project. It was also fun to also talk about the similarity between the common house cat and a lion.
    Fun lady who is literally changing the world for the better, for our animals, and those less fortunate.

  • Kristen Johnston, From 3rd Rock From The Sun & The Exes On TvLand, Talks Her New Book GUTS
    I love this girl! She was so much fun to talk to and so giving with her candor and her truth. We know Kristen from her body of work in front of the camera but there is a much more personal side.
    In Kristen's new book, "GUTS: A Memoir, The Endless Follies & Tiny Triumphs Of A Giant Disaster" she is brutally honest about her alcohol and drug addiction. I believe that in order to move through something the minimum requirement is truth, your own truth, being honest with yourself and others around you. Shame and trying to hide parts of your life away in a closet not only rob the people around you from getting to know the fullness of YOU, but it robs you from being free to be you.

  • Talked To Sal Giunta: Soldier, Medal Of Honor Recipient, Afghanistan War, Hero, Living With Honor Is His New Book
    I talked to a real life hero today! His name is Staff Sargeant Sal Guinta. I was curious what kind of kid Sal was? What kind of kid signs up for the Army, what exactly did they say to make him want to join and; really, what I wanted to know is what kind of guy runs toward danger, when everyone else is running away from it?
    Sal Guinta is a very humble and simple guy who really doesn't believe he did anything extraordinary.
    We touched on war, Afghanistan, the real possibility of death, and facing your own mortality. I also asked him if he was familiar with the word impossible? His answer made me laugh....
    This is a wonderful book for any soldier, former soldier, military enthusiast, or anyone who wants to read a hope filled book about a real life hero. A hero, whether he wants to be one or not.
    Sal is now a public speaker giving inspirational talks: www.WashingtonSpeakersOnline.com
