It's Runway finale week everybody! And happy Columbus Day! Can you hardly wait for the Runway Finale? What about the Columbus Day Parade? Me too! Is Susan Lucci the Grand Marshall? Rita Moreno? Uh oh, I dunno but I'll look out me window towards Fifth Ave and try to determine ASAP. Right now I see a lot of red lipstick.

I think we just had one last weekend of debauchery in Manhattan... Judging from the hustle and bustle and insanity on the streets and in the stores, people don't yet realize how broke they are. Lots of retail denial going on.

I spent my Saturday night back at Madison Square Garden for Madonna with Marc Consuelos and Kelly Ripa - two of the nicest people you would ever want to know. Kelly is as obsessed with Madonna as me so I knew it would be fun to see the Queen with her.

What I stupidly also didn't totally compute was that the Queen of AM TeeVee would have the very very best seats in the house. We were in row 1 sitting directly in front of Madge's ramp in the center of Madison Square Garden. A-Rod was there right behind us. And Chris Rock.
