LaLa Land
There are so many perks to living in Los Angeles. The weather is only one of them! (Photo: courtesy of Henry). I just got back from a free sneak preview of the movie “The Soloist” starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. Fellow Xangan Tony, was nice enough to invite Albert and myself. I enjoyed the movie, but need to think about it a bit more before I blog about it. Check back in a couple of days.
Yesterday, Lisa, Cary, Marie and I all met at the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal, where we had free tickets to the 2009 TV Land Awards. TV Land is a network that shows classic television 24/7. This year, they honored:
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Lucille Ball – Legacy Of Laughter Award presented by Amy Poehler)
Don Rickles (Legend Award presented by Jimmy Kimmel)
The cast of Home Improvement (Fan Favorite Award presented by Jamie Lee Curtis)
The cast of Magnum, P.I. (Hero Award presented by Matthew McConaughey)
The cast of Knots Landing (30th Anniversary)
The cast of Married with Children (Innovator Award)
The cast of M*A*S*H (Impact Award presented by Martin Sheen)
The cast of Two and a Half Men (Future Classic Award presented by Terri Hatcher)It was a great day and the show was hosted by Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother and of course, Doogie Houser MD. He was hilarious! He’s such an enigma. A gay actor, who came out at the height of his career, with little or no fallout. Fantastic! I was able to sneak my camera past security and snap a few shots. We moved seats halfway through the show…higher up, but with a better view. The quality isn’t great, as I was trying to be discreet, but you get the idea:

Click Play for a bit of video from the opening and the closing…sorry for the shoddy camera work, I was trying not to get caught!
