A Mellow Walk With Lucy, My Furry Antidepressant

Dear Friends,

When I referred to the tennis court I called it “chalk,” but I meant clay, LOL! (Sorry about the shaky camerawork!) 

Have a great weekend & 4th of July.

See you next Friday!

Love,

Dyane

“Bipolar House” To Be Filmed For Pilot!

A friend I grew up with works at a Hollywood television network. A couple years ago I emailed my reality show concept to him and he shared it with a Bravo producer. The idea went nowhere…until now.

Bravo Television has selected Bipolar House: Rapid Cyclers Edition for a pilot production!

Because the cast features major celebrity names, Bipolar House has a shot at coming to your television screen in 2018!

Here’s the original concept:

BIPOLAR HOUSE: Rapid Cyclers Edition

Hosted by Adam Ant, Musical Icon & Bestselling Author of Stand & Deliver

1980

Mental Health Advocate Adam Ant is still cutting albums at age 61!

 2017

Join Bipolar House Leaders Demi Lovato and Tom Cruise on a one-of-a-kind adventure you’ll never forget!

Be a fly on the wall in a cramped West Hollywood home occupied by six celebrities who have bipolar disorder!

There’s never a dull moment at Bipolar House…

Bipolar House’s intrepid participants have been given the immense challenge of creating a benefit concert.

Their goal: to design a special event imbued with the spirit of the Live Aid Concerts, packing a powerful punch against mental illness stigma!

Don’t miss the Solitary Confinement episode in which celebs who break the House Rules spend eight hours in a bathroom listening to the Enya catalog played in high-fidelity stereo!!!

Watch each Bipolar House guest’s reactions to being placed on the strict vegan diet and detox cleanse made famous by actress Gwyneth Paltrow!!!

“I’ve got the detox blues!”

And in a moving revelation, Tom Cruise announces he has bipolar disorder and explains why he takes fifteen psychiatric medications a day!!!

In the very special Scientology episode, Tom discusses how being a Thetan and signing a billion-year-long contract has helped him cope with his mood disorder.

The superstar closes the hour with a reprise of the song “Old Time Rock ‘N Roll” that made him famous in the film Risky Business. He wears his original costume. (Or lack thereof.)

Guest Appearances by:

Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jim Carrey, Mary Lambert, Axl Rose, Sinéad O’Connor, and Jean-Claude Van Damme singing whatever they’re in the mood to sing about!

The Bipolar House Grand Finale features a spirited singalong of hits including “We Are the World”, The Captain and Tennille’s “Muskrat Love” and the Frozen soundtrack! 

Prepare yourself for evenings in front of your television where you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll laugh, and maybe you’ll cry again!!!

By now (or perhaps after you read the title) you’ve guessed this is a joke…

Happy April Fools Day, my friends.

See you next week & have a great weekend!

XO,

Dyane
