The past few months have been filled with award shows ranging from the American Music Awards to the Golden Globes. And if you have been paying attention to the media at all, it has become obvious that our celebrities are walking away with more than just trophies. We recently reviewed an award event that gave away 40,000.00 per gift bag per celebrity who attended. Well, the SAG Awards is no different. January 28, 2006, I visited the Shrine Auditorium backstage the day before the big […]

Michael Isaacson of Tulliano – Proving That Through the Years, Good Taste Combined with Hard Work Pays Off Big! A visit to Tulliano will do most entrepreneurs a world of good.   They will see what a combination of hard work, talent, and exacting taste can get them, and in Michael Isaascon’s case—a lot of money, and extreme satisfaction. I met Michael, the exclusive founder and designer of Tulliano, last year.  He donated some of his garments for a film.  The wardrobe department needed upscale […]

She is also known for her top 3 hit duet with Michael McDonald, “Please Don’t Leave,” released through Warner Brothers Records.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
