Yesterday was a very good day for me and my "The Day After" co-host, Matt Whitfield. First we found out that our least favorite "X Factor" judge, L.A. Reid, will not be returning to the show for Season 3. And then we found out that boy band Emblem3, who we'd assumed were a shoo-in for next week's "X Factor" finale, were edged out of the competition by much more deserving underdog group Fifth Harmony! So we're celebrating today, toasting each other with Pepsi-filled goblets while I rock a party-ready, Fifth Harmony-inspired hair bow. Enjoy:
[Please note today's "The Day After" segment was taped earlier this morning, before Matt and I learned of today's horrific Sandy Hook school shooting. We have since heard the news, and we are both incredibly shocked and saddened--and in no way feeling celebratory. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
