Disappointed you had such a vile jerk like Billy Boob on, but c'est la vie.

My question: were you the drummer for The Bangles? Actually that was Debbi Peterson, but you two must have been separated at birth ... go ask Alice.

So, instead of an obnoxious mega-cretin like Billy Boob, why don't you book The Bangles?

I love your show - thank goodness for DVR so I can watch when I get home from work.

I wanted to tell you and Don, that I love your movie, Return to Me. What a beautiful story it is and all of the actors are great. When I bought the DVD several years ago I watched it many times. It's been about 2 years now since I last watched it, so I decided to pop it into the machine. I remember your mom was in the movie, but I didn't realize that your co-writer, Don, was the hair plug man at the bar. He was a riot. I know I will enjoy watching it over and over in the future. You and Don should write another movie - you were great!

Hi Bonnie....I absolutely love your talk show. I laugh out loud every day. You have a natural way
of interviewing guests by making them feel welcome. It must be stressful getting some of
your guests to relax and just be themselves. It is fun seeing you interact with your staff, crew,
and the band. Keep up the good work, and keep on
wearing your colorful sweaters, jackets, and blouses. You are beautiful, Bonnie, but sorry, the gray jacket has to go. I would give my left arm to have your gorgeous thick hair. Hope your show will continue being a successful hit!!

Hi Bonnie,
You had better watch DON as he is now branching out doing commercials (I’m sure you know this) and he may soon have his own show maybe a Dancing SHow?– LOL-LOL
He really is good on those commercials!
One of your devoted fans. Love your show I TiVo it so I don’t miss any!

Hi Bonnie-- OOPS!! I just found the recipe for the lemon torte. Thanks. Loved all the viewers comments.
Laughed like crazy at your audition with Don on Dancing with the Stars. You two are a riot together.

Hi Bonnie
I hope you don't get that swine flu! I was watching the news, And it looks like people around L.A.have the flu already. Take care!!!
See you monday.

Bonnie I want to say you have the most wonderful talk show I have ever seen. You have such a close loving relationship with all your crew and it seems like a big happy family haveing a great time. You make me feel so warm and fuzzy everyday I watch your show. I see so much of your Mom in you and she is a special treat when she is on the show.
Keep up the good work and hope you stay many years on the morning show circuit.

Really enjoyed the Billy Bob Thornton interview. I'm a huge fan of his and you interviewed him well.

(I do wish, however, that you wouldn't interrupt the guests so much with your commentary. I realize you're just trying to keep the conversation flowing, but it really prevents the guests from speaking.)

Now, Carrie Ann Inaba. Yikes. Her silly laugh, her jumping around -- if you never had her back on the show, I'd be happy. (I finally had to just FF through that interview. Watching her was way too annoying.)

The BEST SEGMENT of the show was you and Don doing the Dancing with the Stars take-off. What a RIOT. LOVE IT. Don is so much funnier than most of the other actors who guest on your show!

Also, your "trainer / bartender". He's killing me. How funny is this guy??? Would love to see more of him.

Thanks, Bonnie, for such an intertaining, positive show --

Wow that was a great episode maybe you should do a show about you getting a foot massage. That would be the greatest episode.

Bonnie --

So glad you delivered such a hard-hitting interview of Billy Bob after his obnoxious, rude and disgraceful Canadian radio interview. I'm glad you're not just another light weight infomercial for celebrities selling their latest crap-ola.

Thank you.

You're a doll, Bonnie. I love your sense of humor and you are very genuine and kind. Especially enjoyed Carrie Ann today.
Question: I can't find any info about entering a contest to join the cast of Days of Our Lives for a day. Is in on the website yet??

Bonnie, that picture of Meryl Streep as Julia Child is a direct copy of a famous picture of Julia on the set of The French Chef holding a chicken up.

You can see it in the picture section of Julia's book Julia's Kitchen Wisdom.

That is why they used that picture of Meryl as Julia. Anyone would is a Julia Child fan knows the famous episode with her hacking the chicken up. She showed different sized birds and told you what they were called. That is why Meryl is doing what she is doing in the picture.

I cannot wait to see that film! I was so excited when I first heard that Meryl Streep was picked as the actress to play her. She can play anyone. I love Meryl and I loved Julia. Should be a hoot!

I Love your show!!!! It is so refreshing to find a real person and not a fake. I am retired from nursing for about 5 years. I think you are awesome and please keep it up!! WOW I am so impressed. I just wish I could see you but cannot afford it. edy

Bonnie,
No one knows what a torte is. If you want an accurate description go to www.joyofbaking.com, click on the glossary and look up torte. A torte is the German word for cake. It refers to a multi-layered cake filled with buttercream, jam or a rich moist, and dense single-layered cake. They contain very little or no flour. Instead ground nuts or bread crumbs are used along with butter, sugar, and flavorings. Americans apply the word "torte" to any type of European-style cake that contains little or no flour, although sometimes containing nuts or bread crumbs.

Well, Bonnie the lemon recipe does not fit the description of a torte. You have too much flour and no nuts or bread crumbs for a torte. A pie is not baked in a tube pan. I own over 500 cookbooks and based on what I have read and from reading the recipe. That is a CAKE. No PIE just CAKE. It is a lemon creme filled cake. Sounds delicious. I don't remember who said what. but whoever said cake is right. Look up the descriptions of pie and cake. If you said pie, sorry. If Alice says pie, sorry. I am going to try that recipe. My mouth was watering when you were cutting it.

me again...I forgot to say what I got on here to say originally. The one brain cell that still works is about go the way of the rest my brain cells.

Anyway, RE: the PIE vs the CAKE, I think that the lady today(4/24) was correct that it is actually a torte, BUT this and Boston Cream Pie are American classics and originally they were always made in a pie pan. Our American ancestors in their simple ways would say that anything cooked in a pie pan was a pie. For example, Sheperd's Pie is not really a pie.

In closing, who really cares what it is called as long as it taste good, I'm not pushing it away.

Thanks for letting me put in my two cents, see you tomorrow!

Bonnie,
I totally get that picture of Meryl Streep holding up the turkey in her new moving about Julia Child. Years ago. frustrated by that darn turkey being so slippery Thanksgiving morning, with a whining kid on my leg, I grabbed the turkey by the wings and started dancing through the kitchen with it. The whining stopped, jaws dropped and it has now become a family tradition every Thanksgiving. I have done the turkey dance for my grandchildren and have to confess that I even do the dance without an audience. It makes me laugh.

Love the show.
Bless you,

PS -I'm #5 of seven which may explain my need to be entertained.

I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!!

Everyday you make me laugh and cry, I'm amazed at how we can both tear up over the little things that come up (don't get me wrong, I love that about you, that you have such a big heart). My friends and family say that I can take it too far sometimes. For example, remember when they used to show the McDonalds commercial where they hired the retired senior citizen? I always got tears in my eyes thinking that McDonalds really did care. Who knows? They were the first to come out with the soy bean burger that tasted like a hamburger. Remember that scandal when they were putting additives in their meat products?

O.K. I've said too much already. Thanks to you, your cast and crew for bringing a ray of sunshine into my life for one hour, Monday through Friday!

XXOO, dayne

Dear Bonnie,

I was horrified that you had the odassity to invite Billy Bob Thornton on your show as a guest, after he was kicked off of a nationwide tour with Willie Nelson, publically humiliated the entire continent of Canada, and behaved self rigtheously unpon doing so, with no apologies.

I will not be watching your show again.

I really LOVED Wednesday's show(the shelter dogs)
(were on) !
will you give us an update on them,& let us
know if they found their '4-EVER HOMES' ? !
I HOPE that you'll have (more)shelter dogs on,
(once or twice a month = PLEASE ?)
