Viva Diva - Watched Divas Las Vegas in fast forward on TiVo this morning. No big catfights or shouting matches to dish on without Aretha there. But I was glad to see that Skeletor is able to sober up enough to hold a microphone once in a while. Cyndi Lauper joining Cher for "If I Could Turn Back Time" was great fun, but what would have been truly inspired as if they had transitioned into Lauper's "Time After Time." Host Ellen Degeneres did a surprisingly good cover of Salt-n-Pepa's Shoop. The low point for me was Celine Dion's cover of AC/DC's "Shook Me All Night Long." Celine, honey, you've got a great voice, even if you sing out of only one side of your mouth, but "jamming" really isn't your forte.
