The Culture Bucket: AFI, The Bachelorette and more
Here's what's caught my eye so far this week:
- Is it just me, or do you agree that "The Bachelorette" DeAnna Pappas isn't really over "The Bachelor" Brad Womack, who cruelly rejected her last year? Now that she's the chooser, she's ultra-tense and repeatedly says she doesn't want to lead on any of the guys the way that she was led on. Sounds like a setup for failure.
- Film buffs will enjoy the American Film Institute's latest list offering: "AFI's 10 Top 10" tonight on CBS. As much as I love AFI's annual show, I'm wondering if they're running out of ideas. Last year, it was a 10th anniversary update of the 100 best American films. Now they're concocting a list of top 10 in 10 different genres. I dread what's next: "The Top 10 By Zodiac Sign"?
- Special effects master Stan Winston passed away Sunday. And now comes word that MGM dance queen Cyd Charisse died today.
- And, finally, San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square, now revitalized, is revving up for a celebratory unveiling this weekend. The revamp includes more high-end shops to entice you ... unless you spent all your money on gas just to get there.

Hey. I just noticed you are puke green. Not a very flattering color. You look like you about to vomit. I'd lobby for a change of color.

I guess I first should thank you for noticing. But,look, it was the only color left for the Beehive contributors. I do appreciate, though, that you didn't make any "Incredible Hulk" jokes.

I like the green, Felicia.

Thanks, Heather. Come to think of it, it is the color of money.
