Kirstie Alley Looking To Do 24-Hr Charity Tweetathon On Twitter

Actress Kirstie Alley is currently looking at trying to get a twenty-four hour "Tweetathon" organized sometime in July as a benefit to donate funds to build water wells in Africa. Details are of course currently sketchy, but she was on Twitter last night discussing the possibilities. Alley mentioned she would attempt to entice other celebs on Twitter to join in on this worthwhile event. You can imagine that other celebrities on Twitter, but I'd be surprised if Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher among other prominent tweeters weren't approached after the details get worked out.

The name "Aquathon" has been bandied about and although just in it's embryonic stages, this does sound like a worthwhile project that others will support. This is one of those grassroots projects that the social network could highlight as it gains further legitimacy with the public.

Susan Boyle Has Lost On Britain's Got Talent

Okay, now on to other things... Sorry, but although I applaud Susan Boyle for having an incredible run, I've almost gotten as tired of this story as the Octo-Mom. Did you know that Nadya Suleman has supposedly now getting that reality show she desperately craved? Another reason to turn off the tube. I am very happy about Boyle's success on the TV show, Britain's Got Talent, where she came in second to an unknown dance troop, whose claim to fame is that they are "exceedingly humble", but Ms Boyle does have a great voice and hopefully will have much continued success. Me, I'm just tired from all the various news sources clamoring to be the first to inform us that Boyle lost on BGT. Yes, we know. I was on Twitter and after the initial shock expressed by various "tweeters", just about everyone was inundated every hour on the hour that "Susan Boyle Has Lost!" and provided the same link. Okay, once, twice, three times is enough. I don't need hourly retweets. And I repeat, now on to other things...

Hot Newscaster Was On Little House On The Prairie?

I just found out that CNBC's Melissa Francis was on Little House On The Prairie. You remember that show right? Ma & Pa Ingalls, Mellisa "Half-Pint" Gilbert, and mean old Nelly Olsen. I just found out on Twitter, Sara Gilbert (The Big Bang Theory) and her sister Melissa (the afore-mentioned "half-pint") are on Twitter and I somehow staggered onto this little bit of info. Melissa Francis (yes, that's her in the pictures, now and then) is one of the resident "news-babes" appearing usually around 11am-noon on CNBC. Sometimes I think I must be living under a rock. Francis was the cute little Missy Francis who played Cassandra Cooper-Ingalls during the last part (1981-82) of Little House On The Prairie. I just started on Twitter a few days ago myself and I'm into a whole new world. There are lots of famous and infamous people using Twitter and posting humorous (and sometimes not so humorous) tidbits about the world around them.

Twitter has been growing by leaps and bounds. It is being helped along in it's growing period with such celebs as Ashton Kutcher (he's "aplusk" on Twitter and surprisingly funny, and posts frequently), Demi Moore is there too. But don't just try to link to the famous. There are thousands of others on the site with sometimes brilliant and witty things to say in their 140 character limit. Me, I'm simply, "Hey_Bradshaw" so link to me too if you want. My little band of followers cannot compete with Kutcher's army (1,600,000-plus and growing), but it is fun, informative and costs only some of your time. But it is addictive! And Melissa Francis is there too (she's "MelissaCNBC"), so maybe you can follow her Tweets as well.

The Big Bang Theory: Stuart And Penny Reprise

"I love the smell of comics in the morning" says Sheldon (Jim Parsons) as the boys visit the local nerd store. The store clerk, Stuart, who had previously gone out with lovely neighbor Penny (Kaley Cuoco), asks Leonard (Johnny Galecki) for advice as he prepares for date 2. Leonard, still candleholding for Penny, tries to lead Stuart awry. He tells Stuart to "take it slow. Avoid direct eye contact." Howard (Simon Helberg) suggests Leonard tell Stuart to do everything Leonard has done for the last 2 years as that has certainly kept Penny away from Leonard.

The Classified Materials Turbulence

Meanwhile, Howard is bragging about the "Wolowitz Disposal Unit" installed on the space station. Meanwhile Howard has just found out that his "space toilet" as Leonard calls it, is a trifle wonky. It'll break after 10 flushes sighs Howard. "It'll be like a Jack-In-The-Box," says Howard, except that instead of puppet, "something a whole lot nastier will pop out of that box."

When Leonard approaches Penny about her date with Stuart, he feels guilty when she insists he drop it and leaves. He later asks Stuart about what happened and Stuart says it went great. He did everything Leonard told him to do, he went slow, and then they were "making out later in his car." But then Penny said "Oh, Leonard" and things quickly went south. Back at the apartment Howard is on the phone with NASA being sworn to silence about the "space toilet" fiasco. Penny asks who Howard is on the phone with and Raj (Kunal Nayyer) says "Aw, it's just NASA about Howard's broken space toilet. Then something falls off the ceiling as they are all eating. "What was that?" asks Penny. "Oh, just my mother's meatloaf" says a sullen Howard. "What was it doing on the ceiling?" asks an incredulous Leonard. "That's classified" Howard answers sheepishly.

Cut to an outside look at the space shuttle. "Uh, Houston... we have a 'situation.' We all want to take a spacewalk - RIGHT NOW."
