Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe as she appeared in a fetching blouse on "Good Morning America" today, and the sky.

So alike, and yet only one is a vast expanse.

Happy Birthday, Norman Rockwell

Beloved American painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell was born on this day in 1894. This illustration, called "The Gossip," is one of my favorites. Among his over 300 Saturday Evening Post covers, was this creation of Rosie the Riveter.


Rockwell was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor of the USA, for his "affectionate portraits of our country."

Camilla -- Eye Makeup 101

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, dropped by the launch of "Chefs Adopt a School" program, terrifying pupils at St George's primary school, with her terrifying pupils encrusted with what is believed to be cheap mascara.

Click the pic for a better look. I will not accept responsibility for any permanent eye or psychic trauma. We'll talk about the lipstick at another time. I'm already not feeling well.

Camilla -- Why Me?

Shall I compare thee to a winter's day? With a lot of snow that's going to turn into muddy slush? Yes, I shall.

That's HRH Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, during a service to thank the people of Wooton Bassett for their support of the Armed Forces.


Later, Cammy dried off and revealed the absolute exquisiteness of her chapeau, which was undoubtedly purchased from the "Made of Dog" section at Burlington Coat Factory in Woodland Hills. Her expression bespeaks the true meaning of "My feet hurt."

Happy Birthday, Stan Getz

Jazz giant Stan Getz would have been 83 today (he died in 1991).

Here's the lovely Astrud Gilberto and Getz with the delicious "Girl from Ipanema," circa 1964.

Remembering Buster Keaton

Silent screen clown Buster Keaton Died on this day in 1966. This is a sample of some of his great stunts. (You might want to turn down the music.)

It Looks Like Justice

Millionaire twin child star Mary-Kate Olsen, and famous lady justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

So alike, in about twelve years.
