• The Quintessential LA Evening

  
  My houseguests finally ended their star studded weekend at the H.C. and returned to Phoenix.  (Actually, the only star we saw this weekend was Tito Jackson driving his Rolls Royce on Rodeo Drive yesterday, LOL.  Cameron Diaz was at The Getty while we were there Saturday, see below.)  Yesterday we had breakfast at the famous Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles, then traipsed about Beverly Hills before heading to the Hollywood Bowl with Amos to see Gilberto Gil. For those of you unfamiliar with Brazilian music, Gilberto Gil is anational treasure there.  He’s akin to John Lennon here, and nowtravels the world as Brazil’s Minister of Culture, reporting directly to the president.  That’s all for now.  Tonight I’m having dinner with someone even more famous than Cameron Diaz and Tito Jackson combined!

  Tori, channeling Ashleee Simpson, plastic surgery and all.
  

   
  At first I thought the driver of thisRolls was Al Cowlings.  Come to find out, it’s Tito Jackson, Michael’sbrother.  There was a homeless guy in a wheelchair who asked him formoney at the stop light, and Tito saw that I had my camera, and gavethe man money.  It was the homeless guy who told us it was Tito.  LOL
  

  
  Where’s LaToya?

  You can just barely make out the Hollywood sign in this picture.  Amos got some great ones that I’ll post tomorrow.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  Best of the rest…
  
  

  If you’ve never been to the HollywoodBowl, here’s a short video to show you what it’s like.  It was prettydark when I shot this, but you can barely make out the Hollywood signat the end, and Amos taking pictures of the crowd.  The first thevideos in this set are of Gilberto Gil, and the last one is of DevandraBanhart who opened for him.  At the end he says “Muito Obrigado” orthank you very much.
