If you're wandering around The Villages in Orlando Sunday morning, feeling blue, why not check out the "'Change We need' Women for Obama" tour.

That would be U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney, D-NY, and DAYS OF OUR LIVES actress Deidre Hall, who are spending their Sunday touring Central Florida on behalf of Barack Obama. They're going to be talking about women's issues, particularly Obama's support of equal pay for women. The events are free and open to the public.

Theater Review: OLTL’s Peter Bartlett in "What’s That Smell? The Music of Jacob Sterling"

"The show is a satire on musical comedy, and it is rich, rich with cleverness, and pop culture laughs (with jokes on everyone from Kaye Ballard to Sarah Palin) you’ll enjoy no matter how well you know the genre."

Susan Lucci is excited to be on DANCING WITH THE STARS
She was thrilled to find out that her dancing partner would be Tony Dovolani. She told The Insider, “I called the producer and thanked her so much. I didn’t know who I’d be getting!”

EILEEN FULTON: New home and new contract
"My new neighborhood is a gem. At first I was reluctant to trade Central Park for the East River, now I don't know what I would do without my view of the boats up and down the river. Or watching the Tram cross the city on what seem like tiny little strings.

I love my neighborhood and have discovered quaint cafes that rival anything Paris has to offer.

Moving has played havoc with getting to a computer and I have not had a chance at times to answer your emails, if I have not answered yours yet, please forgive me - I will eventually answer. Today I tackled some of my mail, which I love, and hope to answer everyone in the next couple of weeks.

Many of you have written to let me know you have seen more and more of me on AS THE WORLD TURNS. I have so enjoyed being able to get some wonderful scenes. And I know it is because of the mail you have all sent asking that I be given more time. I will always be grateful. As a matter of fact, I have just signed my new contract that will take me to my 50th year on the show!
