Oxygen to Talk Sex no longer
After six seasons, Oxygen is shutting down Talk Sex with Sue Johanson. Her final advice on love, lust and awkward positions will be dispensed this Sunday, May 11. The show will feature the year’s top ten sex toys. Wheee!
A frequent guest on talk shows (and a favorite of David Letterman’s), the 78-year-old grandma of two has been dishing sex advice on Oxygen for six seasons. Whenever I’ve stumbled across the show, I always thought it was just so weird. Like getting sex advice from your grandma.
Then again, between Johanson and Dr. Ruth, maybe they make the best sexperts because you’d never look at them in a lustful way. That’s just my armchair psychology talking.
“I’m going to miss it terribly,” Johanson told The Associated Press. “It’s been part of my life and I just love it. I’m going to miss writing scripts. I’m going to miss having to read books. I’m going to miss playing with sex toys.”
OK, that’s just a little too much information there, Sue.
The show had its beginnings in 1984 as a Canadian radio program. Now advancing in years, Johanson said she’s realizing that 1 AM — when the show ends — is not her finest hour. It’s a call-in show, so taping earlier in the day didn’t make sense.
“I have been on television for 32 years,” she said. “I think it’s time. I figured if we haven’t got it by now, we’re not going to get it. We’ve got to make room for somebody else.”
Johanson adds that the only editing Oxygen ever did was to urge her not to use a particular slang for penis. Hmmm, wonder which term that was.
She’ll continue to give lectures and offer sex advice via Oxygen.com. And this is interesting: her IMDb.com page notes that she remains married to her husband, even though they live apart. Maybe they’re still married because they live apart?
Anyway, good sex to you, Sue. Thanks for all the great advice, and have fun with those toys.
Dina and Ali Lohan Begin Reality Show
Dina and Ali Lohan Begin Reality Show
Whether or not you’re looking forward to the new E! reality show “Livin’ Lohan” you gotta admit it’s going to be interesting insight as to where Lindsay Lohan came from (though she won’t be appearing on the show).
LiLo’s mother Dina and sister Ali were spotted along with good old Grandma in Harlem yesterday filming scenes for the show. And something seemed very staged.
Dina seemed intent on being the center of attention as she busted a move and waved her hands in the air at a youth center. At one point, Ali jumped in as well, dancing with her mother as her grandmother looked on.
Afterwards, the trio of Lohan women gathered around some of the youth center peeps and posed for some pictures. We’ll see how this episode turns out when “Livin’ Lohan” premieres later this year.
