My Butt on CNN!

I work, work, work. Practice, practice, practice. Eat right, try to get enough sleep, and only drink way too much when I get together with my girlfriends. So why is it that my big TV breaks are always the most humiliating? Ok, it's true that I have my own cable access show in here in New York City...That's another story. (CLICK HERE)

I'm talking about TODAY! About having a guy filming my 2 exercise classes for CNN. The first class was rebounding. (Aerobics on the trampoline.) Got to say that I was looking pretty good. Nothing to be ashamed of in the bouncing department. The second class was Pilates. Wouldn't you know it, just as we are laying on our backs with our legs up in the air and spread apart for all the world to see, I happen to notice that the camera is pointing RIGHT UP MY CROTCH!!!! No fair! I’d actually poofed my hair up a bit and put on my groovy blue mascara before class. There was no call for crotch shots…ON CNN NO LESS! I think that this is supposed to be aired on January 1st. They said they’d let us know… Kill me now.

The last time I was made a fool of on national TV was last summer when I was ambushed on the street in front of my apartment by AMBUSH MAKEOVER! Here's the story...

I've been playing in Cyndi Lauper’s band off and on over the past couple of years. I got married last summer between the East & West Coast tours and we had just gotten back from our honeymoon in the South-o-France. Not being a morning person, it was certainly a novelty to wake up stupid early because of the jet lag. So I decided to go to the gym. Unfortunately, I didn’t really think about putting on a Sex and the City sort of outfit, and just grabbed the first pair of ugly orange shorts that happened to be in my drawer. Along with a pretty clashing red T-Shirt. (Don’t try this at home) When I got back, all sweaty a jet laggy, I happened to notice a camera crew a few doors down. HORROR OF HORRORS. They noticed me, too! The next thing I know, I’m surrounded by a very spiffy film crew and a cloying hostess who was begging me to come with them and get made over! She said that I had “POTENTIAL”. (This is the part of the show that they DON’T SHOW!) After much cajoling and the offer of a visit to a fancy salon AND A NEW OUTFIT, (I’m not completely stupid!) I gave in. What they NEVER mentioned in the broadcast was ANYTHING about my honeymoon or my jetlag. All they went on about…over and over…was that I was performing with Cyndi Lauper. I think that we counted that they mentioned Cyndi’s name around 20 times in a 15 minute segment! Oh well, I STILL get people coming up to me on the street to ask me if I was “that girl that they saw on Ambush Makeover”. (Kill me now.)

Anyhow, you can watch the segment for yourself if you CLICK HERE. Judge for yourself…
