This Post Will Happen Only ONCE Every Four Years

Today is “Leap Year.” What exactly is Leap Year?

No one knows. Aside from a few scientists and dolphins, the concept is too difficult to be grasped by mere humans.
So let us instead celebrate an even better event- Tony Robbins birthday. Coincidentally, this also only occurs every four years.

My plan to celebrate Big T’s big day include leaving this two-star hotel in Nashville- thank you exit 47 FOR EVERYTHING. Next I will drive through whatever state and/or states come next until I get to what is sure to be a one or two-star hotel in Arkansas.

Yes, my life is awesome, but it doesn't mean you can't have fun. Perhaps you could run (or walk) to your local Cineplex to enjoy hottie-fest, "The Other Boleyn Girl" which opened today.

I predict the period piece to CRUSH the R- Rated Will Ferrell comedy Semi-Pro.*

Finally all that Red Carpet canoodling will pay off!





*My predictions have a 45-50% success rate.

Welcome to the Lipstick Jungle


Are your eyes open? Well odds are, you are probably looking at an advertisement for Lipstick Jungle.

I haven’t been able to check this new NBC offering yet as I have been subletting a place sans tv (despair!), ironically IN the Lipstick Jungle. I’ve been opening conversations with strangers with, “So, this is the Lipstick Jungle eh?” So far this conversation opener has a 100% success rate of annoying the other person and cracking me up.

Lipstick Jungle sounds like the name of a fake show created by fake tv executives on a another fake show I just created called “Development Diva’s.” DD's is a one hour dramedy that explores the lives of three high powered yet vulnerable tv executives who try to balance their high pressure careers, their hot boyfriends/lovers/husbands/frozen eggs and their giant Manhattan apartments full of shoes.

The Cashmere Mafia doesn’t have a chance against the DD’s!

I think I shall go to the NBC website and watch an episode of the LJ, see what my Diva's are up against.

Introducing Rex



I’ve had my first official New York City rat encounter. Rat’s are to New York, like cockroaches are to Los Angeles. Except, there are also cockroaches in NYC, so I guess that analogy doesn’t really hold up.

Rats are to New York like 27- year old actor’s that I’ve dated are to Los Angeles.

There, that’s better.

Rex, the rat that jumped into my path, was a pretty big fella, and easily could have been mistaken for a cat, skunk, possum or knock-off Dolce&Gabbana purse.

First I was startled, and let out a tiny shriek (like a girl!), but realizing the exciting New York experience I was having, I calmed myself down using a deep breathing technique that I learned from a Deepak Chopra podcast.

Upon closer inspection, Rex the rat was not nearly as cute as Ratatouille. He also proceeded to completely ignore my request for the secret to a great Bernaise sauce.
