I just checked my referral logs, and was surprised to find that the number of visits to my site went through the roof today (though when I say “through the roof,” it’s still small web potatoes). Most of them are from Google searches for “Nate Berkus.” This happens periodically, so by now I know the next question is: was he on Oprah today? Let me check.
Bingo. Yes, today’s show on interior design featured him and Ty Pennington. Oh, man. A designer cutie double-header. Must set TiVo to catch the local re-run. There. It is done.
From the show’s website: “It was a job so big, [Nate] called in Trading Spaces‘ Ty Pennington to help!” I won’t comment. It’s too easy.

mmmm…
Add in Changing Rooms‘ Oliver Heath (and that new guy–whatever his name is) and I’m definitely ready to Do It Myself.
I saw that yesterday and totally thought of you! ha ha.
Nate comes out to his cheering housewife fans and Oprah comments, “No wonder you aren’t married–when you’ve got all this!” and gestures towards the screaming housewives.
Funniest daytime moment–EVER.
Hey, Jeff. I got here not due to Oprah but rather from the note you left on my Montréal entry. Great to hear from you since I’ve read so much about you over at that other Thom’s blog!
And add Steven Sabados and Lee Snijders to the mix and I’ll have me a designer sandwich.
Poor Lee Snijders–I had an e-mail conversation going with him for a little while, because a Google search on his name led people straight (is that the right word?) to my website where I had a few comments about his… well, his design.
Anyway. He asked me to remove the references to him because his Design on a Dime program would be on the air soon and he wanted the hits to go to HIM instead–which I reluctantly did. He must have a pretty large gay following, ’cause he didn’t have any problem with my comments… nor did his girlfriend. ::sigh::
Surprised you haven’t posted about the gossip circulating (Chicago Sun Times, New York Post, Washington Blade et al) that Nate Berkus and Max Mutchnick are alleged to be the newest gay power couple.
I also hadn’t realized until today, while Googling their two names together, that Nate had been selected as one of People‘s 50 sexiest men.
