BETTY BUCKLEY
Earlier this week I received a nice note from Betty Buckley, who is currently in California performing a host of concerts. Thursday night she thrilled audiences at the Poway Center in Poway, California, and this weekend brings concerts in Cerritos (May 5 & 6 at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts), Glendora (May 7 at the Haugh Performing Arts Center) and Malibu (May 8 at Pepperdine University). Buckley also belted out the National Anthem this past Wednesday at a Padres Game, and fans of BB can greet the star in person on Thursday, May 11 at a CD signing at the Beverly Hills Rizzoli Bookstore (9501 Wilshire Boulevard) at 6 PM. Ms. B will also read excerpts from the Grammy-nominated “The Diaries of Adam & Eve”; call (310) 278-2247 for more information . . . And, one final item: Don’t forget to set your VCRs this Sunday, May 7 when BB is featured on the “CBS Sunday Morning News,” hosted by Charles Osgood. The news program runs from 9 AM to 10:30 AM.
