The father of Marie Osmond died this week, adding to Osmond's already compelling story on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," what with the fainting spell and all. She's in the Final 6, and she is a heavy, heavy underdog.

Makes me want to watch and pull for her. However, just not enough hours in the week.

On the other hand, an interview she had this week with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, in which it seemed as if he was asking her out, made me realize ... she's a good-lookin' woman. I'm not sure that I dug her look back in the 80s. It was too, uh, Osmondish.

But she's 48 now. She's single, and she's ranking among this new generation of 40-plus women (and eventually 50-plus women) who really look terrific.

So, Marie, if you're out there and need a date -- not to the funeral or anything (that would be weird) -- but just in general, I am so available. Call me.

Embarrassingly enough, I really, really, REALLY liked her 1980s music though. Very poppish country. Nice hooks. Easy on the ears. This is one of my favorites, a little-known tune called "There's No Stopping Your Heart".
