* freaked out when I found out Trish was a stand-in for 17 Again, a dancer in the new Fame, worked on Greek, etc. go girl!
* Santa Monica Beach/ Pier, ferris wheel
* 3rd Street Promenade- shopping, street performers, Justin Bobby look-a-like
* Cabo Cantina for margaritas & food (Em works here & hooked us up)
* Derek’s bday party in Malibu- incredible beach house, food, fun people
* Halle Berry's house was a few down- never saw her, but def. sang this all day:
* Laughed at the guys leaving early to go to Heidi & Spencer’s wedding in Pasadena. They went to high school with Spencer & said, “Yes, he really is that big of a douche. He slashed his ex-girlfriend’s tires & everything.” Wow. Sad.
* Hung out in the hot tub with the guy from The Cutting Edge 2 (ha!!) he’s about to be in Dance Flick as the Channing Tatum character. Ross Thomas- check him out!-prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen. Also met Jack, a grip on Extreme Home Makeover & asked how the heck they get those houses up in a mere few days. haha.
* Got a tour of James’ house in the hills- beautiful!!! I want him to decorate mine one day. His dog is the cutest.
* Dinner at Mandarette Chinese Restaurant- delicious
* Hiked Runyon Canyon
* Mimosas, brunch & rode the freaking bull at SaddleRanch – screamed like a fool the entire time
* Drove up to the Hollywood sign to take some pics
* Explored the Sunset Strip including The Roxy, The Viper Room, The Laugh Factory, etc.
* Appetizers at The Rainbow (a classic Rock’n’Roll bar)
* Watched a friend get a tattoo at Shamrock by the same artist that did Megan Fox’s
* Visited Tony at Central Casting- saw his desk & got a tour. Registered & got a photo done for my next visit so I can work on a show!
* Lunch at The Grove
* Went to the Jay Leno show- got there late & ended up with the best seats. How does that work? Sat on the floor & got to run up & shake Jay’s hand at the beginning of the show- mom & dad taped it & said they saw us on TV. Too funny! Eric Bana is charming.
* Drove by Ghosts of Girlfriends Past premiere on Hollywood & saw Lacy Chabert’s backside on the red carpet. Jeff wasn’t complaining.
* Ate with James, Jeff, Dana, & James’ friend Kristin from Australia at the Stinking Rose- garlic yumminess. SO good.
* Lunch at Tricia’s work, Babalu – desserts to flip for
* Walked around Rodeo Drive & laughed at all the price tags
* Drove down Robertson, saw a paparazzi frenzy at Kitson & parked to go see who all the fuss was about.
* Oh just Paris & Nikki Hilton doing some shopping. Those paparazzi dudes are dicks & talk so much trash- no wonder everyone hates them. Nikki is really pretty up close. I was a nice paparazzo : ) haha.
* Tried to find a spot to see the red carpet for the Wolverine premiere, succeeded, & freaked my butt off at Ryan Reynolds (um, I did say Just Friends was one of my favorite movies). “I grabbed his bicep & it felt awesome.” Tori laughed for 10 minutes when I said that after he walked off.
* Then who did I see but HUGH MOTHER FREAKING JACKMAN, sexiest man alive 09. He really is great looking in person & just oozes confidence & friendliness. WOLVERINE!!!!! Love him! Just wow.
* Others at the premiere I remember: Fergie & the Black Eyed Peas (hate all their music except Glamorous- ha), Amanda Peet, Daniel Henney, Taylor Kitsch, Dominique Monaghan, etc.
* After calming down & taking some pics of the Chinese Theater, Kodak Theater & our complimentary Wolverine claws, we headed to Cabo for taco Tuesday!
That was pretty much it in a nutshell. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more exciting and at the same time relaxing trip. Probably heading back in the fall for round 2. So glad to have met some amazing new friends & shared a small piece of life with them. Can’t wait to do it again. Thanks God for so many opportunities to live & love & share.
