Forbes Health Foundation Event May 28, 2009

 I had the honor of hosting the 2009 Harmony Ball and Community Care Awards for Forbes Health Foundation. What a fun night!  The committee did a great job of decorating the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center and local high school students provided some amazing artwork as a backdrop for this year’s theme: Work of Art.

For those of you following me on Twitter at @tvmichelle you have already seen these photos.
For the rest of you…  here are two photos taken by my self-titled “blogographer” (aka producer Kevin Kalia) since I left my camera at home charging.  First, look who stopped by to say hello this morning: 

    Joe DeNardo is such a [...]

Go See Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! May 26, 2009

If you’ve never seen Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat…. It’s fantastic and it’s in Pittsburgh right now.  I first saw it in Chicago about 16 years ago when I was there to interview Oprah. Donny Osmond was the lead back then… and now I see, David Osmond (I’m sure he’s related but i don’t [...]

Exclusive *Inside* Photos of Mr. Obama meeting Steelers May 21, 2009

These are some cool photos of President Obama meeting the Pittsburgh Steelers in the East Room of the White House. At first I called this room the Gold Room…. but it’s actually the East Room…. (but the color is appropriate for the black and gold, don’t you think?) After these photos the team and Mr. [...]

We Named Our Newsroom Bird May 21, 2009

   Our newsroom mascot came to our window again today… tapping away at the window.  So we walked over and started to tap back. Also, our producer Kevin came up with a name for our feathered friend: Orville.

Sharpie on my Shoulder May 20, 2009

I’ve mentioned before how I keep a warm and cozy sweater here in the make up room to wear while I’m in the newsroom. It’s comfy … but the main reason is so that I don’t get anything on the jacket I’m planning to wear on the news each night. So today, I have no [...]

Two Sad Updates May 20, 2009

Zach was “lucky enough” <rolling my eyes> to bring home a goldfish from school last week. The 5th grade science class had several fish all year and I guess it was part of their hands-on learning. The teacher offered some of the kids the chance to take one home as a pet when that part [...]

My Allergic Reaction May 20, 2009

My appearance on t.v. tonight at 6:00 should be interesting. I’m having some sort of strange allergic reaction and my eyes are super PUFFY and itchy. We’ll see if it gets better by news time. I really don’t think scaring the viewers is a good idea : )

Nick Nolte and Me May 15, 2009

   Nick Nolte loves joking around. He acted like a kid while I was trying to do an on-camera tease. He’s in a movie being shot here called “Warrior.”  Producers are looking for extras.  They want you to come down on May 30th for an all day shoot in Oakland at the Petterson Event Center. [...]

Steelers Defense Fun Photo Shoot May 15, 2009

I need help with some hockey trash talk. I have a high school friend who moved down to North Carolina.. and is a huge Hurricanes fan.  Please pass along any suggestions as we play them in the conference finals! Thanks!  
For all of you not into hockey… I thought I’d post this video I found [...]

Watch This Cool Video May 13, 2009

Here’s the explanation of the video:
This is a personal project that would not have been possible without the support of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. Thanks to the entire team for their generous access during training exercises and patrols this Summer. Since the Service began in 1973, it has carried out [...]

The Clarks New CD May 12, 2009

I’ve made no secret that I love the local band The Clarks. I just got an advance copy of their new CD called ‘Restless Days.’ It officially comes out June 9th and there’s plans for a June 13th concert at the Amphitheatre at Station Square. The Clarks have stayed together for 20 years and sold [...]
