Song of the Day: 'I'll Say It' by Kathy Griffin

Despite the alleged "artist," this is one of the most adorable songs ever. With its '60s girl-group vibe -- the straight 4/4 beat is also reminiscent of the Beach Boys' "You're So Good to Me" -- it made perfect sense when I realized it was written by Adam Schlesinger (of Ivy and Fountains of Wayne fame) who similarly wrote the retro-perfect "That Thing You Do" for the Tom Hanks film of the same name. Incidentally, I gave "Kathy" a second chance this week -- when she had Jane Fonda and Sharon Osbourne rather than "her civilians" on -- and it was a lot of fun. Next week is the season finale (huh?), so I'll say it: Let's hope it comes back ... in its new format next year.

Here Come the Grooms

In one of the most high-profile same-sex marriages to date, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes -- who now owns/runs The New Republic -- and Sean Eldridge, the founder and treasurer of Protect Our Democracy, were married Saturday at their home in Garrison, N.Y.

Congrats, guys! Read the announcement in The New York Times HERE.

Happy Birthday, Debbie Harry!

 It's insane that my girl could be turning 67 today, so I will just remember to appreciate her that much more each passing year.

And by the way:

Who else but me would have a cat that shares the same birthday as Blondie? Here are two photos from the day we brought Larry home in 2007. He's 5 today!
