PAULA NEAL MOONEY

15 Seconds ... by Paula Neal Mooney So wonderfully funny the way the Lord works things out. Just last night I recorded my first ever 15 seconds worth of video on my hubby's cell phone, and uploaded that 15 seconds full of video to YouTube , the first time I ever uploaded a 15 second (or any kind of second) video on YouTube. While on YouTube, my hubby and I caught the 15 Seconds video contest for CBS on the front page. "Wow, look at that," I said, marveling at God's whole flow of life. Check out the 15 seconds rules here and the 15 seconds video promo here: I'll plow thru all the 15 seconds rules later (gotta live my life out of the blogosphere for a little bit, you know?) but here's the gist of it: If you had 15 seconds to tell the world whatever you want to, what would you say? Well, now's your chance to be seen and heard on national television, courtesy of CBS Interactive. Post your 15-second video on YouTube, and CBS Interactive will select one t...

Just caught John Edwards on CBS saying he may run for president in 2008. Possible future president John Edwards was also hawking his new role as editor of an anthology titled Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives that includes a cross-section of America -- black and white, famous and not -- writing about their childhood lives. The very photogenic John Edwards did not discount a run for the presidency in 2008, and didn't hesistate to take potshots at Bush and Rumsfeld over the mess in Iraq, and who can blame him with that leaked memo Rumsfeld wrote (before he "stepped down") making the rounds yesterday saying that Bush's strategy in Iraq wasn't working. Pro-life folks like me (yes, all life, including the soldiers dying for my safety today) that voted for W must not scrape the Ws off cars, but keep repeating: Roberts and Alito sit on the Supreme Court. Roberts and Alito sit on the Supreme Court... John Edwards was a little more tight-lipped about his reported wan...

The other night I blogged about 3 Lbs , a new CBS medical drama starring Stanley Tucci that premieres today on CBS.com and Tuesday, November 14, for those still watching TV shows on TV. I was kind of under the gun to get that related piece published, but whilst writing it I emailed Nancy Eichenbaum , the lovely lady listed as my photo contact on the official CBS documentation I received. So nice Nancy emailed me this pic of the 3 Lbs . crew lickedty split, but just after I posted my other blog post. Anyway, here it is, a living color 3 Lbs cast photo. They look good, especially that Tucci , I must say again. And since I don't have Photoshop yet (I'm reliant upon the lovely ACDSee photo editor, which provides tons of blessed free trials to me) I can't find the "File info" credit Nancy pointed me to. I guess "Photo Courtesy of CBS" must do for now. From left to right we have: Armando Riesco , the pretty British-sounding Indira Varma , Stan the Man ...

It's official. I am a real live journalist! Yay! Praise the Lord and pass the DVDs, please... Yesterday I received a FedEx package (Yes, for me! Not Cavs tickets for my hubby for once!) from my cool-as-beans editor Mike from Associated Content . "The People's Media Company," my husband, Chris, repeated as he checked out my booty -- of media stuff, this time. The huge envelope contained not only a big Associated Content cup that'll ensure I'm up on my water intake, but also a small squishy stress ball-type brain and an advanced DVD copy of 3 Lbs , a new medical drama -- the title refers to the weight of the adult brain -- from CBS starring Stanley Tucci as a hot neurosurgeon. Since 3 Lbs doesn't premiere on CBS until a week from today -- with a full preview on CBS.com this Thursday -- I felt a surge of genuine reporter glee getting a chance to check out this intriguing drama well before the rest of the world. I got the sense that Mike needed this reviewed...
