  • Star Studded Weekend

    It has been a crazy weekend, but a lot of fun.  It’s after 2 AM and I just have a few minutes to post these pictures and then I have to get ready for my trip tomorrow morning (this morning).  I still have laundry to do and I have to clean the house as Luis & David will be staying here while I’m out of town.  (The Hotel Careyfornia is even busy when I’m not here!)  Claudio’s Brazilian BBQ was a hit yesterday, and he even made feijoada.  Yum!  Chazz is still growing like a weed.  Afterwards I headed up to Santa Barbara to see Tom & Cathy and little PatrickBassam hosted a great party last night and we all had a great time.  Today I came back to LA in time for two Oscar parties.  I thought the ceremony was fantastic this year…the best in a long time, maybe ever!  I got 19 out of 24 predictions right, and won the pool for the 2nd year in a row!  On the way home I walked down DeLongpre because I knew that one of the locks on the garage door of  the Sunset Plaza Hotel is busted.  I was able to sneak in to the hotel and take the elevator up to Sunset Blvd. next to where the Vanity Fair Oscar party was being held.  There were people who had been waiting there all day and I just walked out the hotel door and started snapping photos, LOL.  The LAPD were being assholes though, and it was really hard to get good pictures.  I had to get home but I hung out for about 45 minutes and got to see Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz, Mickey Rourke, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams Frank Langella, Anne Hathaway, Jon Voight, Robert Pattinson, Gwen Stefani,  and that awesome Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto guy, hoisting his Oscar and waving to the crowd!     I don’t have time to go through all of the photos now, but here’s a sampling:


    The Vanity Fair party 2 blocks from my house

    That’s Mickey Rourke in the white coat and hat


    If you look closely, you can see Kate Winslet holding her Oscar

    I’ll have to through the rest of these later!

  • another star studded weekend!  patrick is soooo cute – too bad they grow so quickly.  have a safe and productive trip.  peace, Al

  • the hat picture is classic!
    yes i agree, this academy awards was incredibly well done and very entertaining,
    as was this post!

  • That was probably one of the best opening sequence I have seen.   The Indian media is filled with Oscar sweeps of Slumdog and it is getting slightly annoying now because there is no other news except for Slumdog! 

  • that picture on the way home from santa barbara is my favorite stretch of highway on the way to LA.

  • Jon Voight looks like they took him from Madam Tussauds.

    Great for Madam Tussauds. Bad for Jon Voight.

  • Nice photos as always! I guess that you must be driving southbound from Hwy One while you took that shot, right?

  • @pukemeister - Thanks…he’s a keeper!
    @curtainsopen - Aww, thanks!  Glad you liked the Oscars too.  I guess not everyone did…but I thought they were very entertaining.
    @Dezinerdreams - Yeah, if I see one more group of white people dancing to Jai Ho, I think I’ll scream.
    @peacefulheart - You’re right, it’s a beautiful drive, especially there!
    @MaximMan - LOL, that’s so true.  I must say though, he was the only celebrity who crossed Sunset Blvd and actually walked over to talk to the fans.  Some goofy people had been waiting out there all day long.
    @curry69curry - It as actually on the 101 South from Santa Barbara, Gary…though come to think of it, maybe they’re one and the same at that point…not sure.  You can’t get much closer to the ocean.

  • star studded eh?  i sure see a lot of studs in those photos…heh.

  • @straw_hut - Haha!  Touche!
