I write The Sticky Egg every day, so there isn’t a whole lotta rhyme or reason to my choice of topics.
Most days, I’m just happy to have one.
So it’s interesting to glimpse ‘behind the curtain’ at the site statistics to see what posts readers like the best. Plus, it gives me a chance to say ‘thank you’ to a few of the celebrities and TV shows that bring sightseers to The Egg.
Carson Kressley The Queer Eye veteran has been a favorite of mine — along with crazy man David Arquette — since they first announced this season’s Dancing with the Star’s cast list. After watching the first week of shows, I am happy to report, I was right. He’s not the best dancer, but he’s the most entertaining by far. Voters, keep him around. The show will be better for it. (And I can keep yapping about him.)
Ryan Gosling Okay, I’ll admit it — not counting this post, I’ve written about Ryan Gosling five times during the The Egg’s two-year existence. What can I say? He inspires me. And apparently readers are okay with my choice of subject matter, too. If Ryan continues to make so many great movies, might I suggest a regular Gosling feature on the Egg? Don’t worry — I will always include quality photos. (They are as much for me as they are for you.)
Law & Order — I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this iconic New York City drama. I was thrilled to appear as an extra in no less than nine episodes of the original series. They were long, boring days that taught me a lot about the biz. But I honestly don’t care much for the show itself. The musical stinger alone gives me hives.
The Big Bang Theory If Kaley Cuoco (Penny) fell in the woods, would it make a sound? I can answer that with a resounding yes. When Kaley had a horseback riding accident last season — and I wrote a blog about it — fans of the show flocked to The Egg. And they just keep on coming back. Kaley, if blog traffic starts to slide, I may need you to attempt a few more daredevil stunts.
High Fashion Whether it’s Hillary Clinton’s hair don’t, Royal Wedding hat do’s, or ‘pretty piggy’ bacon strips for your dinner table, readers seem to like posts that celebrate all things fashion. I kinda feel guilty though…me sitting here in my jeans and t-shirt. But The Egg is only too happy to join the fray.
Thanks for continuing to come along for the ride!
Special Sticky Sneak Peak: tomorrow I’ll be blogging about my experiences as an audience member at the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Will Jimmy have Egg on his face?? The answer tomorrow!


The Ides of Carson
A friend had a brilliant inspiration during Dancing with the Stars last night that she posted on Facebook. Today I devote The Egg to officially launch her campaign:
Dancing with the Stars Co-Hosts
That’s right — Brooke Burke out; Carson Kressley in. If you watched last night’s results show, we all got a taste of exactly what that might look like.
Fun. High energy. Witty. Filled with the unexpected. All the things that an evening of hosting — and conversation, I would guess — with Brooke Burke is not.
Full disclosure — I’ve never been a fan of Brooke. I wasn’t when she started hosting; I’m not now. While she is lovely to look at, I just don’t think she has much else to offer.
If she were flipping letters on Wheel of Fortune, that would be fine. But DWTS requires she be quick on her feet, and she’s simply not. Standing next to Tom Bergeron — the best host in the biz — well, it’s just sad. And she’s not getting any better.
But Carson and Tom together? Totally different personalities, of course, but both big. Both bold. Both smart as a whip. And funny?!
Oh, I think America would buy tickets to that party.
