WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

THERE’s plenty to LIKE about this moment on The Golden Globes telecast. First of all, the President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association- Meher Tatna- was introduced, and – hooray- she’s a WOMAN. Meher announced that the HFPA was donating two million dollars in grants to support investigative journalism- good news. What was WRONG was Meher’s bright red outfit. Apparently she didn’t support the women of the Time’s Up movement, who wore black on the red carpet. When questioned later, unconcerned Meher insisted “in her country” you didn’t wear black to a celebration and her mother expected her to wear color. Lame excuse. There are many online photos of Meher at other festive social events WEARING BLACK. Naturally her red outfit made her stand out – it appeared she wanted attention – like several wannabe starlets at the event who pulled the same trick.

KIRK DOUGLAS ON THE GOLDEN GLOBES: MOST DEPRESSING LIVE MOMENT IN TV HISTORY?

Who’s bright idea was it to invite a 101 year old stroke victim in a wheelchair to appear on The Golden Globes? Granted, Kirk Douglas was a big boxoffice star in the 50’s and 60’s and he did deserve recognition for that, however he would have been better served if his daughter-in-law Catherine Zeta-Jones had appeared alone and presented clips of Kirk in his famous roles. Not only did poor Kirk look awful, but he cannot speak clearly. It was an unnecessarily sad and disturbing segment of the show. Also, one cannot ignore the fact that Kirk had an unfortunate history with women – in the past he was kindly described as a “womanizer” and has been accused of raping a teenage Natalie Wood.
