Who Really Attends Movie Premieres?
I saw this article on Yahoo titled, "Who Really Goes to Movie Premiere's Anyway?" by Leslie Gornstein and thought it to be very enlightening for those who aren't "in the know". Here's an excerpt: Los Angeles (E! Online) - Are premieres strictly invite-only, or can any celeb walk the red carpet?--Anabel I've learned almost any celebrity of the "C" caliber or higher can attend any film premiere he or she wishes, with or without an invitation. Where would that put Heidi and Spencer [They're... Read Full Story

This may sound crazy, but I'm serious! Sometimes opportunities surprisingly fall into your lap. And when they do, you don't question, you act in faith.

So get in the backseat with me as I ride to Toronoto's... Read Full Story
Miracle at St. Anna: Spike Lee Salutes 92nd Division, Buffalo Soldiers
As the verbal televised battle between Presidential hopefuls, Barak Obama and John McCain, plays out in the background, I attempt to multi-task by reading several reviews of Spike Lee's, "Miracle at St. Anna", a cinematic take on a different battle in American war history that never made it to primetime on CNN, nor the flashy big screens of Hollywood.   And now having read four not so favorable reviews, I admit that some of their points are valid.  Yes, "Miracle at St. Anna" could have been...

Get Well Soon Too, Natalie Cole! You're Unforgettable
With so much going on I almost forgot, that legendary singer, Natalie Cole, was also in the hospital. She's spent the past week in a New York hospital suffering from hepatitis C. According to the San Francisco Chronicle online, Cole told "Entertainment Tonight" that the chemo treatments are causing her to lose her hair and weight. But Natalie Cole is not only a phenomenal singer, she's a conqueror. "The timing of this couldn't be worse," says Cole, "because of my new record coming out... Read Full Story

Here I am again blogging live from another edit session. Darkened edit bays is where I spend most of my time lately. That's not a complaint, just mere observation.

Full Recovery Prayer for Travis Barker and Crash Survivor
I just saw Blink 182's drummer,Travis Barker, at Janet's concert at the Staples Center last Wednesday. No, we don't know each other nor have mutual friends to my knowlege. But the fact that I saw him seemingly well just a few days ago and then learned of his near death experience in a plane crash that left four others dead, moves me to say a prayer of full recovery for him and the other survivor, Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM. You just never know how quickly life can change. As we travel the... Read Full Story

Head Trips: Art Through The Eyes Of A Hollywood Hairstylist By Robert L. Stevenson
I'd be willing to bet multi-talented, motion picture hair designer Robert L. Stevenson never has a bad hair day. And even if he did, it would probably inspire a new sketch for his growing collection. When Stevenson is not designing amazing hair pieces and looks for some of Hollywood's greatest talents like Samuel L. Jackson, he's drawing delightful characters of his own. And now with several hundred of sketches completed, Stevenson steps from behind-the-scenes and into the limelight to... Read Full Story
