People who say happiness on TV is boring probably haven't seen THE BIGGEST LOSER: COUPLES. This week's makeover episode brought more proof of how a sea of onscreen smiles can be highly entertaining.

I gotta feeling ... this year's Llanview High musical is going to be off the hook! I just got back from a special preview of Starr X'd Lovers at the OLTL studio and the resounding reaction from actors, press, crew, etc. was "Amazing!" Executive Producer Frank Valentini and Co. got a standing ovation, and we didn't even see every musical number from this three-day event, which begins on May 14.

To be sure, the Lauren/Sarah windup on Y&R was riveting but I still have a few quibbles: Murphy is a highly-decorated helicopter pilot from the Korean War. Uh, that took place in the '50s, has he been keeping his flying license current?

And I thought my family was crazy! Janet, Teri and Liberty's trip to Melrose Park (heh) to visit Eddie and Aunt Marie on ATWT was enlightening, outrageous and, yes, even a little entertaining.
