Karrie (pictured) was ecstatic; she'd gotten tickets for the Ellen show & wanted to look her best--really outstanding. The Lady GaGa white hair combined with pink tips seemed to be just the ticket--not exactly mainstream, but really cool. She was hoping for one of those million dollar checks or a free car, but she'd settle for the trip to Hawaii. If that didn't work out, maybe she could get a slot on American Idol doing her Willie Nelson imitation . . .
Mixed Crowd
The rally to support Willy Nelson for Surgeon General for the incoming administration drew quite a mixed crowd . . .
SXSW Festival
The turnout for the SXSW film festival in Austin drew the usual crowd of Glitterati–Cher, Al Gore and his band the AlGoreRhythms, Lady Gaga, Brad Pitt, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Donald Trump, Michelle Obama–even Al Sharpton made it as a guest of Spike Lee, as did three Marilyn Monroe, four Elvis and one Richard Nixon look-alikes (oddly, no Michael Jackson look-alikes), but when Willie Nelson showed up (possibly under the influence of mind-altering substances) with his trumpet, and claimed that he was Miles Davis reincarnated, it was suggested that he “quit tooting his own horn”. . . . .
