CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

I sat down with some of the TWILIGHT guys!!!

 

Got some inside scoop... these two play vampires in the elite voulturi... i think that's how you spell it... lol. Anywho... the guy on the right has this HUUUGGEEEE fight scene with Rob Pattinson... and they guy on the left is actually super hot hahaha his part in the movie was rather small. Both of the guys have signed on for the third movie "Breaking Dawn"

Now, let me be up front with you... I haven't even seen the first movie... so, I wasn't expecting to like it. But, I have to say "New Moon" is really good. It was a little long... but, it was still engaging and entertaining. Not to mention Taylor Lautner is smokin' hot... is that wrong to say since he's only 17??? Oh well.... seriously OH WELL!! lol.

Annnnnndddddd earlier this week I went to the ASU Walter Cronkite School of Broadcast Journalism luncheon... It's an event that Walter Cronkite has done with ASU ever since the school was named after him. So I walk in and there's all these important media people are there, news anchors...ceo's...and then people like me... hhahaha. I am not 100% sure the exact purpose of the event but, I think there's boosters that pay to come to the luncheon too. They take the time to honor certain people in the media... the big Cronkite award went to Brian Williams of the NBC Nightly News....

 

His speech was incredible. He was articulate, poised, humble, and funny all at the same time. At one point he even made a joke about Cronkite's junk... lol. I kid you not. It made me want to watch the NBC Nightly News... kinda. They also induct someone into the alumni hall of fame. My fellow alumni Chip Dean (producer for ESPN Monday Night Football) became a member of the hall of fame for the WCSBJ....

I know I know... I should totally know all about what this event is all about, but I don't... Sorry. Any-wwhhhhaaaaaaaayyyyy (pronounced with the H), something happened that I am not sure if it should have been a big deal but, after it happened it was all I could think about. There were over 100 tables of people and they had servers running around serving this 3 course meal... it was very fancy. Here's the issue though. They served the salad... clearly I still had salad on my plate. I had turned around to say hello to a co-worker and when I turned back around... my salad was gone!! Now, yes, lunch was on the way, followed by dessert.... BUT, I liked that dang salad... who just takes a salad that isn't finished without asking?!?! It was like a super stealth mode server too because I didn't hear a thing and when I tried to see who it was there was NOBODY THERE!!! WTF!!! I just sat there... looking at the empty spot on the table where my damn salad should have been so I could finish it. Humpf... ummm I think I just made that word up ... humpf... lol. I realize it's kind of ridiculous but, that stupid salad was so scrumptious... :( i felt the need to address the crowd so i stormed thd stage... got behind the podium and made a huge scene yelling... YOU JUST DON'T GO STEALING SALADS!!!

... no... I didn't acutally to that... but, this was one of those things that pisses you off even more because you can't control it. I could do nothing after the salad was stolen I was so powerless... I couldn't even complain... the meal was free, the servers were working their little buns off, and I didn't want to sound like an idiot... which in hindsight, I probably do now from this post. On that note... have a lovely weekend!!!!

I WAS JUDGING AT FIRST...

Over the weekend I was invited to go to NASCAR. The first thing that sprung in my head was... really?!?! Ummmm... why the hell do I want to sit there and watch cars go around and around... what is so great about that?!?!! I admit, I went over every stereotypical excuse in my head as to why I would not enjoy this event. I had assumption upon assumption. And they were backed up by the reactions of everyone I told I would be attending said race. I was like, "i'm going to nascar tomorrow..." and everyone I told had the same look on their face followed by the "really?!?!" I remember replying a couple of times with the "yes I'll be sporting the hard hat with two beer cans attached complete with the straws that flow down from the top of the can to my mouth." I mean, I had so many preconcieved notions about the event that now I feel like a total ASS...

BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... I will NEVER judge NASCAR again!!! IT WAS SOOOOOOOO RAD!!!

There were sooooo many people there it was exciting just driving in to one of the million different parking lots. I was lost in a sea of cars! Walking up to PIR there were hundreds of Semi's lined up one by one creating this merchandise row... look left you see all the different drivers hats shirts kooozies lol.... look right... same thing it was insane!!! Now, I figured I was there... I needed to experience the goods of this glorious event!! So I devoured an enormous turkey leg and drank some incredibly disgusting lemonade and then I was ready for the race.

I heard it was pretty essential to rent these GINORMOUS headphones and reciever that allow you to listen in on the chatter back and forth between the drivers and their pit crews, the officials of the race, and the official radio broadcast of the event... I hate this picture but, I'll post it anyway so you can see how ridiculously large these things were...

 

I look like the biggest tool in that pic... lol... either way, I became extremely appreciative of the HUGE yellow cups over my ears when I got to my seat because the cars were sooooo loud. AND it was FASCINATING to eaves drop on the drivers!!! I would look down at the track and see a car number that appeared to be driving different or about to pass someone and pull up their radio system on the reciever... and it was great!!! At one point I think #13 was having problems with his breaks and he was all frantic yelling at his pit crew how they needed to fix it and you could hear the pit crew trying to figure out if it were a rotor problem or something like that. There were plenty of instances that made me feel like there was a small soap opera going on down there as they were speeding around. There were 2 car crashes where the drivers were explaining what happened and I was addicted!!! It was incredible and I have to say I will never hate on NASCAR again... it RULED... if I may bring back the word "ruled" for a moment... no? FINE... it was a rush and I will reccommend the experience to everyone!!

THIS MAY SOUND STUPID...

Are there really people who don't hang out with their siblings?!?! Something happened over the weekend... I went to the improv to see Dave Attell... After being ignored by one guy... blown off by another... I needed someone to come with me to use my extra ticket so I called my brother... he's always making me laugh so I figured I would return the favor... errrr Dave Attell will make him laugh...

He made some joke because an audience member was their with her brother... and he was saying what a loser they were that they were hanging out with their siblings on a Friday night. I wanted to hold poor Dave Attell and cradle him because that made me think perhaps he's had a troubled family life. That's the only possible reason I could come up with as to why he would knock people for hanging out with their family. I was there with Lindsay and a bunch of people from the show and I brought my brother... so at that point he was knocking me.

Of course, at that point I started thinking... am I a loser for not having a date to this thing? Is Dave Attell right??? But, my best friend was at the same show with her both her brothers and her sister...AND I like happen to like hanging out with my family... they are hilarious and make me happy... so what the hell does Dave Attell know. I mean look at the picture above... half of the peeps we were with were related!!!

So, I was going through the list of people that I know, and I really couldn't think of anyone who doesn't hang with their family members from time to time. I mean, even the people that I know that have had some kind of messed up stuff happen between their family members still put that aside and chill every once in a while.... Which, when you think of it... I think that means those people are pretty blessed... THEN... I started thinking, are there really people who don't get along with their fam? That is really sad. I would crumble without my family. Now, I realize that sometimes things go down and people don't really turn out the way that we would hope... some people turn to drugs and tear families apart... some people are just evil and take advantage of their family etc. etc. etc. Where the hell am I going with all of this?? I actually have no idea... I guess I am just thankful for my family.... that's all.

BACKSTAGE AT AMERICAN IDOL



Broadcasting  live from American Idol could have been one of the coolest things I have ever done!! There was sooo much going on I think I took a total of like 600 pictures!!! First of all... there are some major freaks walking down Hollywood Blvd.  pics are in the "Day 1" gallery... Also, everyone looks soooo much smaller than they do on TV!!! It's true... the camera really does
add 10 lbs.! I was busy almost 24 hours a day,interviewing past American Idol contestants, attending madatory parties (don't think I minded that! ;), and watching the actual live tapingof both nights of the American Idol finale!!!  At one of the parties I got to meet Simon... he was actually really nice in person!! He was walking around with a permanent grin on his face... I wonder if that had anything to do with the HUGE contract he just signed with Fox for the next couple of years. Our very own Jordin Sparks was glowing the night Simon told her she mopped the floor with Blake (pics in the press conference gallery).  Carrie Underwood was absolutely stunning, hate to say it but it wasn't just the outfit that made Kelly Clarkson look a little heavier... she was :( More power to her though she really doesn't care what people think... gotta respect that.  All in all the whole week is kind of a blurr!! Ha ha... click here to check out
the pictures!!! :)



JORDIN SPARKS!!!  MATT LEINART!!!
