From Mala Bhattacharjee
I'd be remiss in letting the week go by without squeeing about AS THE WORLD TURNS' Cyndi Lauper-palooza with Noah and Luke. So, "squee!" But since I was actually on set watching most of it get filmed, I was interested in seeing what else would go on in the episode. Not nearly as squeeful as Luke being sung to by La Lauper? Holden and Carly continuing their "we're not dirty cheaters, we swear!" façade at Lily's cookout.
