I think those contests where people do something creative, post it and then the only ones who win are the ones who can rally thousands of friends of friends of friends to vote (popularity over talent) are just absurd. That being said.....

My dear actress friend, Terey Summers, whom many of you have seen in an earlier post of mine, is in the running now for some dealy Oprah Winfrey is doing to find new talk show hosts for her new network. She just started so she's got like 1,000 votes when it will take somewhere near a million to be in the top 5. Voting goes till July3, so it's possible I guess, but Geez.

Anyway, in her short demo she gets a makeup lesson from Alice Cooper and other fun stuff. Here's a link and if you're one of those viral-pass-it-on types I'd love it if you would. Just click on the "Vote" button to vote. Thanks!

And apparently you can vote again and again and again, which just makes it all the more fair. Shocked
