Happy Birthday Charo!

Best celebrity moment ever.

Ultimate gay that I am, I practically hyperventilated when my 80s icon, Charo, came in to our studio for an interview a few months ago.

Under normal circumstances, I would never approach someone for a photo in a professional situation. But it was my one chance, so I bent the rules a little. On the sly, I asked the producer who set up the interview if I could get a quick picture with Charo.

She was amazing. "Choo want picture with me?" she asked, eyes sparkling. She's quite stunning and every bit as energetic in person. "JES! Of courth! Jew are gorgeous!" Then she pulled me by the waist, gave me a big hug and kissed me on both cheeks as I snapped this photo with my camera-phone.

That's right. Charo says I'm gorgeous. And I believe her.
