I just heard of new @Pirates #shortstop, #teenager @KonnorGriffin22, five hours ago, and now I’m crying my eyes out over his incredible and successful first @MLB #atbat! It was a #double, and then…he #scored! What a #debut! You go, boy!

I want to wish all my #readers, #followers, and #friends who celebrate either #holiday, or both, a very Happy #Passover and #Easter. Here’s the link to my thoughts on these #special days this year: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/holidays-….

Why in the world did #ABC ever hire a twice-married, mother of three, (with two different baby daddies, to boot,) to be the next #Bachelorette??? My mind is offically boggled. Here are my in-depth thoughts on the entire #debacle: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/televisio….

Everyone, of every #ethnicity, who loves to #laugh, must see #KimsConvenience at @CTGLA in #DTLA! There’s nothing more to say except that here’s the link to my #glowing #review: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/theatre-k….

I adore #ballet, but have no quarrel with #TimotheeChalamet’s shallow stance on it & #opera. It’s the #mean peeps who feel #superior by engaging in that infantile #StopTimmy movement w/whom I have a problem. Here’s the link to my full #rant on the topic: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/karens-ra….

The recent #TravelLounge in honor of the #Oscars was full of #beauty: the #gifts, #weather, #atmosphere, and #BeverlyHills #location. Here’s the link to my #thoughts about the entire #event: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/gifting-s….

The #WowCreations #Oscars #GiftingSuite was a hot mix of #popular returning #sponsors & fab new ones. I loved seeing them all. I especially enjoyed getting my #palm read & taking a personal #sauna!!! Here’s the link to everything that went on there: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/gifting-s….

There were so many #Oscars #arrivals shows that I gave them their own #column, separate from yesterday’s review of the actual show. Here’s the link to my thoughts on what everyone looked and sounded like, & musings on why no big #stars were #interviewed: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/awards-sh….

#MarchMadness You know that I’ve always adored #CharlesBarkley, from #Day1, but now that he’s lost so much #weight, I think it’s time for him to get a smaller #suitjacket! Please help him, @CBSSports #wardrobe department!!!

I actually enjoyed a lot of this year’s #Oscars! But I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have a lot to say about the #proceedings, both #yay, and, of course, much more #nay. Here’s the link to my #review of all of it: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/awards-sh….

I wish all my #readers, #followers, & #friends a #HappyStPaddysDay! I remind you all to wear at least a semblance of #green today or else you’re liable to get #pinched! Here's what else I have to say about the #holiday, (including a nod to #MarchMadness): itsnotaboutme.tv/news/holiday-h….

#Oscars Am I the only one who thinks the #Oscars #producers really missed the mark by not having #KateHudson and #GoldieHawn present an #award together? They were both there, for goodness sake! People would have gone nuts over the mother-daughter duo!

The best show I’ve seen all year is @5StarTheatricls' production of the #British #comedy, #ThePlayThatGoesWrong, in #ThousandOaks! I heavily recommend it to everyone! U have only the next 2 #weekends to see it! Here’s the link 2 my beyond-glowing #review: itsnotaboutme.tv/news/theatre-t….

#Oscars Note to all #actresses: Do not stand near #RoseByrne—you will only look even worse than you already do! (And #KristenWiig looks like she had on a bad short #dress to start, and her mother made her put the #drapes on the bottom to cover it up!)

#Oscars Uh-oh. I’m so worried that #PedroPascal may be sick. He’s only 50, but looks to be in his late 60s! I feel they paired him with 76-year-old #SigourneyWeaver to mask how old & frail he looks. I’m praying that he just overdid the #Ozempic. I’m not joking about any of this.

#Oscars Have you ever seen Oscar winner, (for #makeup on #Frankenstein,) #ClionaFurey, and #BruceSpringsteen’s #wife together? Just asking.

#Oscars I hate saying this, because I’m a fan of so many #artists in it--like #Shaboozey, #MistyCopeland, & #MilesCaton--but the #Sinners #song number was like a bad rehearsal, with everyone warming-up at once, before the director shows up! Everyone in it was extremely underused.

#Oscars That was the best #openingmonologue I’ve ever heard! On every level. Great job, #ConanOBrien!

#Oscars #KieranCulkin looks like he hasn’t slept in two months and has spent all that time just eating #bloating #junkfoods. What is up with that?! Did he forget that he was coming back to the Oscars tonight to present a big #award?!

#Oscars Good job, #DemiMoore, for trying to hide your #skeleton #arms with that poof of #feathers, but it didn’t work. You still look like a cadaver.
