Disturbing TOYS FOR TOTS ad...
Yes, I know that Love Is... was a popular and adorable comic strip back in the 1970s and I know that TOYS FOR TOTS is an important charity... but really did the two concepts need to meet?
What were they thinking? Naked children in a local Los Angeles TV GUIDE ad promoting a toy collection for Christmas? Somehow I don't think this would fly today...

A Toast to ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN
I conclude my four-day tribute to ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN with a special announcement. 
The awesome charitable organization known as Actors & Others for Animals is holding a gala tribute to LAUGH-IN next weekend on Saturday, Nov. 14th. CELEBRATION OF CARING is annual event that raises money for important programs such as spaying/neutering, pet overpopulation control and pet-assisted therapy.
The event will take place at Universal Hilton starting at 11:00am. There will be a silent auction and a no host cocktail hour-and-a-half, followed at 12:30 pm by a gourmet vegetarian luncheon. The entertainment program hosted by Bruce Vilanch starts at 1:30 pm. Several LAUGH-IN cast members and other notable TV stars will be in attendance (check back soon for a list of names).
Beloved LAUGH-IN star JoAnne Worley is the current president of the organization. Tickets to this gala start at $175.00 each, and are well worth it for the great cause. Here is a link to the website for more information. To purchase tickets or make a donation you can also call 818-755-5080.

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!
Well, sort of. My friend Steve is prostituting his good-looking friends again - but this time it's for a good cause. So - if you're gay, lonely and have money to donate to Steve's AIDS LifeCycle 2009 effort come out and join us on Friday night. It's hosted by the amazingly funny Kira Soltanovich (from THE TONIGHT SHOW and GIRLS BEHAVING BADLY). And no, I'm not being auctioned off-but I will be there to make sure things don't get too outta hand. (Also - if you are a straight woman who enjoys objectifying hot guys with their tops off - bring a gaggle of your girlfriends just to make the night more interesting!)
