Liza Minnelli opens the 2011 TV Land Awards!

Liza Minnelli

By now you all know how much I love legendary diva of stage and screen, Liza Minnelli (still kickin’ at age 65), so watch her open the 2011 TV Land Awards below with one of her signature songs, New York, New York. The entire show airs this coming Sunday (April 17th) at 9PM on TV Land. You know anything that opens with a Liza moment is bound to be good (except for Sex and The City 2).
