President Carey Anthony??
I had to be in Orange County today, so I had dinner at Pei Wei in Lake Forest tonight with my cousins Lisa & Dar.
When I drove back to Hollywood, I decided to stop by the Kodak Theater (home of the Oscars) where tonight’s Democratic Debate was held. I thought I might catch Barack having a milkshake at Johnny Rocket’s or Hillary shopping for lingerie at Victoria’s Secret, LOL. I was also hoping to run into Anderson Cooper before he hit the gay bars in West Hollywood but he was probably tied up.
The streets were still blocked when I parked, and Jimmy Kimmel was celebrating his 5 year anniversary show across the street from the Kodak. The network crews were readying themselves for the 11:00 news broadcasts and I took a few photos:
When no one was looking I went around the police tape and waited by a locked service entrance until a CNN worker came out. I stuck my foot in the door and slipped in quietly (no Secret Service in sight).
These are the same stairs Angelina and Brad will be climbing in a a few weeks
I went into the theater and took a few photos, and asked one of the guys who was disassembling the stage to take my picture in the candidate’s chairs. He gladly obliged.
The stagehand took a picture of me in 2 chairs, but the the one in Hillary’s chair didn’t come out. Is this a sign I should vote for Obama on Tuesday??
The Kodak Theater gave us a Kodak moment — a post debate embrace that included beaming smiles — that transcended the two hours of talking that preceded it. This was the first time the two leading candidates were alone on the stage, and the first time that you could see the two of them running together. The most engaging part of the debate had to be the extended, sometimes contentious, exchange over Iraq. It was the most effective sequence for Obama, and the most important for the country – bringing Iraq off the backburner, placing it front and center, and highlighting the significant differences not only between Obama and Clinton but also between the Democrats and the Republicans.

I have to shake my head at you about your Anderson Cooper comment.
You look nice with a beard, though.
@youthinasia613 - Shake your head up and down or right and left?? Don’t tell me you didn’t know about him!!?? I met him last year at Book Soup and he was with his boyfriend, who he dedicated his book to.
@whatdoyouseenow - LOL, US Magazine? Hardly! I did get offered some money last year for my American Idol finale photos. I was apparently the only one who got any pictures of Sanjaya!
