Dancing with the SENIOR Stars - Gotta Dance!
Who would pay money to see old ladies' legs? That was the question posed by a skeptical critic when producer Riff Markowitz started "The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies" 16 years ago. The answer, as it turns out, is over two and a half million people from around the world! The Madewell Party Madewell, a new clothing store in Century City, had a super party for the holidays. The tasty goodies started before you even got in the door. Donuts, anyone? These were mini-fried doughnuts with a choice of toppings. You were questioned as you entered. Powdered sugar? Chocolate? Maple honey? Oreo Cookie? or Vanilla? What a fun way to start a bash—with a great dessert at the very beginning! Movie Review
The Holiday. . .
. . .is almost like an old-fashioned Romantic Comedy - and I mean that in a GOOD way! I'm not sure why, but I went with low expectations. I didn't EXPECT to like this movie - but I was surprised. It was fun from beginning to end - and I mean "especially" to Jude Law's end. Romance on the Road Tommy Rays in Studio City WHAT a party tonight at Tommy Rays! It's a fabulous new restaurant on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, and this was their Grand Opening bash! I joined the tons of people having drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and fun. Who was seen at the scene? First, there was Ed Begley Jr., a total gentlemen as well as a consummate actor. Ed, we love you! And I had such a cool conversation with Tasia Sherel from "Everybody Hates Chris." Tasia was wearing a super outfit—with a stunning hat! I used to wear hats all the time, and seeing Tasia in one, I think I'll start wearing one again! C & O You Need to Go C & O Trattoria Do you like listening to Frank Sinatra? Dean Martin? Louis Prima & Keely Smith? Do you like good wine? Great pasta? And low prices? Then you'll love C & O! But we warn you, go on a weeknight because on weekends the crowds line up along the sidewalk! It's All Greek to Me And it's all fun and delicious, too! It's Papa Cristo's Taverna MY BIG FAT GREEK "FAMILY STYLE DINNER" EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT in Los Angeles. Bring your friends, and bring your appetite! Pick Nick's for Romance Nick's Fishmarket of Hawaii The menu has a tempting array of appetizers that includes escargots, spring rolls, and sautéed calamari; but a simple name doesn't convey the complexity of each of these tantalizing dishes. ~ |
