Green Celebrities: Cyndi Lauper

She may have just wanted to have fun in the ‘80s, but Cyndi Lauper has since grown up.

She tells her millionaire clients what they are doing wrong, how they look wrong, what’s wrong with their house, and why they are attracting the wrong women. But this week, she went a little too far for some. She appeared on Bravo’s new talk show “Watch What Happens Live” last Sunday. Viewers called in to ask her advice, but one caller wasn’t quite prepared for what she … Continue reading →
