Twitter...Ellen DeGeneres tweets gifts! Good gal to follow...


For those of you who toil away in the afternoon at work and don't have the opportunity to sneak a peak at America's favorite token "lesbo" talk-show host, be forewarned.

Unless you tweet, you'll be left out in the dark when it comes to "treats".

Yup, from my Divine Divan one lazy afternoon, I caught one segment of the Ellen Show in which the quirky dresser announced to the rapt audience that she was going to use her Twitter-time to gift viewers and tweeters alike.

To demonstrate, the ball*y comedian broadcast a small clip which captured three young ladies turning up at a bus shop to snatch up tickets for the show which Ellen & her staff planted there, before a random tweet invited adventurers to scout 'em down.

A lone woman turned up at the location within minutes of the tweet going out.

She proceeded to slyly search the drop-off area on the down-low to ensure she didn't tip off any other contestants as to the possible whereabouts of the coveted prize.

As luck would have it, on the heels of her arrival, she spied two excited ladies scurrying down the street in her direction, so she was forced to abandon ship and nonchalantly drifted off out-of-sight with the obvious intention to return.

Not a smart move!

The two aggressive interlopers spotted the tickets in a jiffy!

And, ended up on Ellen's afternoon show.

The perky blond has a gaggle of hilarious off-beat ideas that tickle my funny - um - bone.

For instance, she conjured up a delicious scheme to ensure that pesky adverts that fly out from inside the pages of slick magazines don't end up littering the streets.

"Replace the flyers with money," she giggled.

The audience roared!

Now, if she could only manage to sell Publisher's Clearing house on the idea.

Hang in there, dreamboat!

As to me, well, I would be remiss if I did not admit that Ellen's dance segments drive me batty!

Portia's better-half isn't cool-lookin' at all when she trips-the-light fantastic across the stage and up into the aisles on a wing and a prayer.

If you ask me, the men's clothing she sports each day, may be restricting her rhythm (and menstrual flow, quite possibly, ya know?)

Portia, get her out to Arthur Murray's, pronto!

Well, I gotta go.

Who knows, maybe the engaging TV personality will be tweeting about a nifty party she's throwing @ Pink's in Hollywood - with free hot dogs and all the trimmings - since an HD Video I just shot there revealed her pretty little face beaming down from one wall on the tables below.

I feel a tweet coming on.

See 'ya there!

Shannon Tweed...tweets with me! Heh, don't tell Gene...

There's something about a woman with a cigar!


I was pleasantly surprised to receive an e-mail over the weekend informing me that statuesque beauty - Shannon Tweed - was now following me on Twitter!

A few weeks ago, our paths crossed at the Roosevelt Hotel, when Ms. Tweed & Gene Simmons appeared on the red carpet to show their support for a "Rally" to raise funds for the Los Angeles Children's Hospital.

In spite of the fact my new HD Video camera was fresh out-of-the-box that afternoon, and I was frantically trying to fathom how to operate the amazing gizmo, I managed to capture a handsome shot of the winsome twosome which I proudly posted on YouTube that night for the madding crowds to peruse.

By the way, eyes light up when I preview the clip for friends & acquaintances around town, so maybe I am on the right track creatively with my insightful "third" eye.

Of course, turn-about is fair play, so I cruised over to the Twitter home base of operations (and with the sweep of a deft finger) ceremoniously tapped Shannon's - um - "follow" button, too.

Now, I can keep track of Shannon's "tweets" without the need for a press release.

Thought I would get up to speed on the actresses' scuttlebutt, so I perused a couple of the latest updates.

I nearly fell out of my armchair when she noted in one post she'd just been in Las Vegas!

Golly, I just cruised back from "Sin" city bright and early yesterday morning.

Do you suppose we passed each other in traffic on Highway 15?

I was in a black SUV.

But, I expect that Ms. Tweed was in a sleek limousine.

A white one, just betcha!

I was really impressed when Gene's better-half casually mentioned she zipped in to say hi to "Hef" when she was in town.

I don't know many people - in fact, no one - on a first-name basis with the Playboy King!

However, I do have one small connection with the trail-blazing pioneer from yesteryear.

For example, I reported in a post a few months ago that one of the first modelling gigs I landed in Hollywood was through an agent at Playboy Models which was located on Sunset Boulevard in its early heyday.

Like me, it appears that Shannon is a bit of a "newbie" when it comes to tweeting.

In one update, she mused that she wasn't sure how to use the social tool effectively just yet, so she offered up the suggestion that followers could use the Twitter phenomenon to ask her questions about her life, career, what-have-you.

Great idea, for starters!

And, her reflection on the matter, triggered some thoughts of my own on the issue.

Twitter may be a potential substitute for a sort-of social register - or introduction service - for instance.

If you recall, years ago, folks - upper crust ones in particular - thought it very low class to chat a stranger up in an elevator, on a busy city street, or without a formal introduction by way of a trusted confidante, family member, or social contact.

In the wild & woolly world of today, it makes sense therefore to sign up with a social hub like Twitter, then casually "follow" an individual at a safe distance without any obligation until such time as there has been an opportunity to establish a sense of who the person is, determine what their hopes and dreams are in life - and ultimately - fathom if there is a place for that individual in the social, political and/or spiritual circles they travel in.

In the event the experiment doesn't pan out, well, no foul - eh?

Looking forward to more "tweets" Shannon; after all, they've been a joy thus far!

And, at least we have Vegas, right?

Laughter heals!
