Mario Cantone is shy. (No, not really!) So when Erin Fox asked him what he thought of this year's Emmy winners, watch what he had to say about Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Probst, Bryan Cranston and Michael C. Hall.

Before I get into the main part of this episode — the trip to Bora Bora — I've got to begin by saying how happy I was that mama Maggie was featured so much. I never expected to enjoy watching the antics of an 87 year-old woman as much as I do, but this episode was very Maggie-centric, so I was loving every minute of it. Since Maggie is too frightened to fly these days and wasn't able to join Team Griffin on their trip to Bora Bora, she was still prominently featured before and after the trip. Now don't get me wrong. I still watch this show first and foremost because Kathy cracks me up. But after Mrs. Kathy, Maggie is my favorite.I will now tell you why this episode, one that mostly took place in Bora Bora, did not bore-uh bore-uh me, by, of course, listing the highlights:— Setting the tone for the episode, Kathy was first seen doing stand-up and talking about her mother (which meant I was smiling right away). Kathy said she wanted to put together an "old person's surv...

The View by Steve Fenn/ABC
During an interview yesterday with Sex and the City's Mario Cantone, the ladies of The View seemed to get a little randy with each other. After Cantone remarked that "only lesbians" can win Daytime Emmys, the next thing you knew Whoopi and Joy dove into a loving, but tame, embrace. But Sherri and Elizabeth, on the other hand, really went for it – so much that they ended up with legs in the air, knocking a chair off the stage. They must really want that award… bad!Watch it now! | More online videos

Gayle King by Stephen Lovekin/WireImage.com
Don’t place your bets on a guy replacement when Barbara Walters and her colleagues on The View announce who will take the spots vacated by Rosie and — at long last — Star Jones Reynolds. Despite the presence of Joy Behar’s buddy Mario Cantone in the mix, TV Guide hears that his guest-hosting is more of a fun stunt than a tryout. When the winners are revealed, probably between July 9 and Aug. 2, we predict the show stays ladies only. As Elisabeth Hasselbeck told TV Guide, “Women feel safe with women. It’s justcomforting.” Fans should keep their eyes on three candidates who have cohosted numerous times: Gayle King, who won raves for her Meredith Vieira-style moderating last week, Whoopi Goldberg and fellow funny lady Sherri Shepherd, who are cohosting July 9 and 13. “There could be two African-American hosts, which would be great,” says a source close to the show. King has one big plus going for her: She would probably bring some of her B...

Mario Cantone by Jamie McCarthy/WireImage.com
The latest buzz in "Who will replace Rosie?" land is that comedian Mario Cantone, a frequent guest on The View (and well-known to Sex and the City fans as Charlotte's bitchy pal), might be tapped to join the heretofore all-female panel. Responding to the People tale, Advocate editor Sean Kennedy tells the New York Post, "It makes sense to have a gay guy on the show after all these years." And again, we proactively mourn the loss of all that Barbara Walters-instigated heterosexual sex talk.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome you’ve given me as well as your thoughtful comments. Please keep them coming. I’m going to keep the recap and comments a little short this week (hey, it’s a repeat after all) and pose some questions at the end, which I encourage everyone to respond to.I forgot how excited I was when Mario Cantone made his first guest appearance as Terry the hairdresser. I remember him so fondly from his days on Sex and the City. I wonder if Jenny Bicks will be able to entice anyone else from the show to make a guest appearance in Elmo. I hope so. But back to Mario. “I’m as New York as the Statue of Liberty but less of a queen,” he tells Marin when they meet, then promptly lops off way too much hair during a tremor. A larger tremor results in an avalanche that traps Patrick and his newly discovered father in Buzz’s cabin. Marin tucks her hair woes under a hat and teams up with Jack to help find the missing pair. And what’...

It is a sad state of affairs here at the Bergl Vancouver household. It's 3 am, and I would describe my living room as a crack den, but it's in such disarray that I would probably offend the crack addicts who read this blog. I think the Super Bowl really took away all my spirit for a while. At first the game was really looking good for me. Not only did Devin Hester do his thing and score a touchdown in the first 30 seconds, but I was also surrounded by various cast and crew of Men in Trees at the White Spot, which is a traditional Vancouver burger joint. Before I watched the Super Bowl with other TV actors, I had never seen anyone eat grilled chicken and steamed vegetables on game day. I won't tell you who the offending parties were, but I suppose we can forgive them for doing something so un-American on such a sacred day, considering we were technically watching the game out of the country. I think you all know the outcome for my beloved Chicago Bears, and the disappointment was fel...
