Both the colonhydrotherapist and the woman receiving the colonic are also to be applauded because there is no way I’d ever do that in front of millions of people!

Also during the show, Tyra Banks spoke with gold medalist swimmer, Ricky Berens who accidently mooned the city of Rome during the 2009 World Championships. Sounds like one crazy episode. Check out a little clip from the show, here.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed “Empire State of Mind” and L’il Mama jumped up on stage because she felt overwhelmed with emotion.  Unfortunately, neither of them was happy about her sudden appearance and she has unsuccessfully reached out to both performers.

Here’s a preview of the discussion:

L’il Mama: ”I don’t think it was as serious as everyone was trying to make it out to be….When I was sitting in the stands I was very excited and I felt the connection, being from New York, being in Hip Hop…Alicia Keys being from Harlem and Jay Z being from Brooklyn and I was just so emotional. I was really feeling it….I felt like I was being embraced at the time, Jay-Z was bouncing back and I’m feeling like this whole moment is happening but I’m not planning it to be a moment, it just happened.”

Tyra: Didn’t he tap your leg though, like get back?

L’il Mama: “But I didn’t feel it….I actually saw the tap tap later and I was embarrassed, I was like ‘Whoa, Jay-Z.’”

Tyra: How did you know to do pose at end?

L’il Mama: “I’m a dancer, and I definitely felt it. I wasn’t there to ruin the performance, I wasn’t there to bring anyone down or anything down. In that moment I kind of felt it coming so I just went with the flow.”

Tyra: Have you spoken to them since?

L’il Mama: “No, I haven’t, I have tried, I got management to reach out. I would like to speak to Jay-Z one-on-one, just to see how he felt. I would just love to apologize…It was never my intent to be disrespectful to anyone. I’ve always been a respectful young woman in this industry, people know me for that.”

Tyra: Do you have a message for Alicia?

L’il Mama: “You can tell her that I apologize and I definitely plan to work with both of them in the future and I hope this didn’t rock the boat.”

I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the Tyra Banks Show won the “informative” talk show award since she is constantly trying to push the envelope to educate her viewers whether it’s a giant stuffed vagina or having pregnant prostitutes on the show to tell their stories.  She really has carved out a niche for herself and I’m really happy for her.

The Rachael Ray show won the “entertainment” talk show prize and I have to say that I was a little surprised by it but, then again, I’m continually amazed by this show’s success.  I didn’t think it was even going to last a single season but, here it is, winning awards!

I was stunned, however, when the ladies on The View beat out Ellen DeGeneres for “best talk show host” after Ellen dominated the category for the past four years.  You know she’s at home right now wondering what she did wrong (nothing!).  I think that viewers really connected with the discussions surrounding the 2008 US Presidential Elections on The View and that probably helped them capture the prize.

She also talked about the atmosphere at the event and wrote: "ALICIA KEYS WROTE ONE OF THE SONGS. She danced while it played. L.A. Reid, Dionne Warwick, Whitney’s mom Missy,and lots of other friends, family" (she later corrected herself and said that Whitney’s mother’s name is actually Cissy).

Martha also included a link to this snapshot of Whitney performing.

The audience seemed very enthused to see the British actor (it must be nice to have such a warm welcome).  He told Regis and Kelly that he would be turning 20 in a couple weeks and Regis remarked that he would no longer be a teenager.  Daniel replied “yeah, I might as well give it all up now.”  Too funny!

He also talked about his stint on Broadway in the gritty play, Equus, which required him to be fully naked at one point.  It’s a very dark story about a disturbed young man and his horse (among many other things) so it was quite a leap from playing the boy wizard!

Regis also asked about what type of women fascinate the star.  He said that he likes somebody who can make him laugh, is intelligent and slightly mad and eccentric.  He addressed the rumors that he likes older women and Kelly made an attempt to get closer to him in mock interest.  Ever the gentleman, Daniel said “I should be so lucky, Kelly.”  That got some sighs from the audience!

Of course, he talked about the film as well as the one they are currently working on, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  He told a story about a stunt gone wrong and how he ended up getting hurt.  It ended up being a slightly funny story, actually.  Anyway, enough of my blabbering, check out the interview:

Some of the issues they address are:

• Are you sleepy/ tired during the day?
• Do you have trouble falling asleep?
• Do you have trouble staying asleep?
• Does your partner complain you’re snoring?
• Do you like to sleep late and then can’t get up in morning?
• Do you need to urinate frequently at night?
• Do you have un-refreshing/restless sleep?

I will be looking forward to some tips on liking to go to sleep and wake up later than most people.  I’ve never been able to change that.  I read on the Regis and Kelly site that it’s not necessary to fix this, which is a relief, so I’m thinking of changing my schedule to suit my natural sleep pattern.

It was a very emotional discussion, of course, with Jermaine speaking candidly about his brother’s death a week ago today.

He recalled how he learned about the tragic news: “She was crying, saying he was dead. To hear my mother say, ‘Michael is dead,’ to feel and hear the tone in her voice to say her child is dead, is nothing that anyone can ever imagine.  I tried to console her but I wanted to see Michael and I wanted to see my brother. To see him there lifeless and breathless was very emotional for me. But I held myself together because I knew he’s very much alive in his spirit, and that was just a shell. But I kissed him on his forehead, and I hugged him, and I touched him and I said Michael, ‘I’ll never leave you. You’ll never leave me.’”

Even more heartwrenching was what he said next:  “I don’t know how people are going to take this, but I wish it was me.  I’ve always felt that I was his backbone; someone to — someone to be there for him.”

I’ve been wondering how Michael’s three children have been coping.  On that subject, Jermaine said that they took the kids to see Michael after he had died: “I know it’s tough, but I think it was the best thing to do. At first I was against it, but what do you say if you don’t show them?”

The children a currently in the care of Michael’s mother, Katharine, which would have been his wishes, according to his will.  Jermaine said: “I thought it was a great will because the children are fine, my mother’s the perfect person to be there, and it’s definitely him.”

He also led Lauer around the massive grounds of Neverland Ranch.

Jermain also spoke of his brother’s strength: “Michael has always been a person who was against anything like that. But I’m not saying it’s right, because it’s not right, but in this business the pressures and things that you go through, you never know what one turn(s) to.”

While funeral plans are still being made, Jermaine did comment on the speculation that Michael could be buried at Neverland: “This is his home. He created this. Why wouldn’t he be here?”

When they showed pictures of the kids as they visited a variety of sights on the trip, I seriously cracked up because their oldest son, 12-year-old Michael, refused to smile in any pictures.
