I'm working with my daughter Laura's producer right now. His name is Marvin McElvany , he's one of the best music mixers and producers in the Southwest. He's trying to download Laura's new mp3 track to the www.showcaseyourmusic.com/Laura site where you too can hear my darling little girl sing her heart out. The mix was literally completed in less than 1 hour, she had to record it before she left for Ozzfest this summer. I promised Marvin that in the future I would allow him a lot more time...

My friends laugh at me because I won't agree to write the book retelling the thousands of Hollywood stories I have to tell - stories that took place when I made my living as a stand up comedian in Burbank and other Los Angeles burbs. At the time, I lived in a Beverly Hills mansion, worked during the day for the California Student Loan Finance Corporation on Pico just east of 20 th Century Fox, and I also worked the studios through connections in their respective transporation divisions. I... Read Full Story
My booking agent is Mike Maguire . Mike works with 128 athletes and former athletes who live and play all over Vegas, so it wasn't really a surprise to me when he suggested that I take my comedy to a smaller, more intimate lounge on The Strip. I could, but it wouldn't be just my act - immediately I began making little plans, which soon turned into mega plans, rolling over the top of my head plans, and plans that soon became so big I found myself placing phone calls, getting estimates for...

When I went to my friend Trudy's house today to meet up with Mike Remmert of ARD-TV from Germany, I thought I would be meeting an entire crew. Usually when we're filmed for anything we have at least 2 and usually 4 people in the house or running around in vans behind us. Today it was Mike. Just Mike. When he rang the door bell I looked outside and thought he was my friend Grant from church. He and Grant are both tall blond men and have that rounder German face, and they both have thick...

Calling all literary agents with good reputations - I am in need of getting my books published with a major house so that they can be placed in the millions of hands whose voices are calling for them around the world. My book "With a Little Faith" (2 nd Ed.) has sold more than 20,000 copies, but it is ONLY available in the U.S. It is available through Amazon and through the publisher Xlibris , but it is too expensive and the shipping for overseas postage is so high it is impossible to sell...

I have the distinction of being the BAPTIST by at least six of my friends. I don't know how I attract so many Catholics into my friendship, but I do. One of my favorite Catholic/Baptist stories over the years has been when my friend now for over 40 years - Robyn, called me once to ask me who Jacob's father was. I thought she meant some kid we were in high school with or something. We were about 18 at the time. She calls me in the middle of the night, laughing, really laughing - "Who's... Read Full Story
This is Caity. Creative Genius. Unfamiliar with laws and regulations at times. Artists are a bit freaky like that. I went to the post office today to pick up all the fan mail for my dog. Believe it or not, I answer anywhere from 100 to 200 pieces of mail every week for the sweetheart. I usually answer by e-mail, unless someone has given me a self-addressed stamped envelope - so if you're thinking of mailing us something, please do - but remember , I do have to keep the response short. So... Read Full Story
I don't believe in LUCK. I think there's something spirtual and/or cosmic going on but I won't give credit to luck - not on this one. My dog's website is messing up and it couldn't come at a more interesting time. I was personally interviewed last week for the SBS Korean network and they're playing the tape on their waves tomorrow - so 7.8 million listeners in that country will want to see my dog's site ( www.faiththedog.net ) and WHAM! It's messing up! If you go to it you may not see it... Read Full Story
OK - I'll talk about it. I wasn't even going to watch the VMA's until I heard that Britney was going to be opening the show with a great new song and a comeback video. WHAT? MTV is actually going to do videos again? That was my first reaction. I'm an old-MTV fan, back in the day with Mark Goodman and Quinn...anyone remember? Videos? VJs ....remember? Anyway, so there I was on the couch drinking aloe vera juice and lemon, because that's the drink of the day now - - and the clock struck 8:00 p... Read Full Story
I'm laughing! I'm really laughing - I picked up a book today at the bookstore that lined out several methods to reduce one's stress and believe it or not, I'm actually doing just about everything in the book (without having to actually purchase it for the benefits) and I'm still suffering from all the non-benefits of being a stressed out person. Believe it or not, my doctor tells me that my weight loss program is perfect, I'm doing everything I can do - except that I'm not losing as much as... Read Full Story
