Road to the Tonys, Day 1

Okay, a quick peek at my accessories for Sunday night.  I won't let you look at the dress just yet, but help me pick out my clutch:  Should it be my BCBG/Max Azria clutch or my KC Malhan clutch?  The Malhan is my favorite one, but I think the BCBG clutch is going to work the best because it is simple.  My dress has some texturing to it that could make my whole outfit rather busy.

Enjoy my super short, less than a minute and a half video (It's worth watching for a second or two to see my Oompa Loompa tan.) and don't forget to leave any Tony red carpet questions in the comment section below:

Emmys 2010: The Finale

                                      

We have finally reached the end of Emmys Weekend event coverage.  Phew.  It was a busy few days and it took almost an entire week for me to share all of the pictures.  Many have you asked about the interview and where you can see them.  Once they are edited and ready for viewing, I will post them and the appropriate links for you.  Our editor is hard at work as we speak as he has a ton of footage to attend to.

Now, let's get down to the fun stuff:  photos from the last red carpet event last weekend.  It was the Reality Cares Achievement Awards at The Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive and yes, we spent a lot of time here over the course of two days.  The honorees that night included Whitney Port of The City, the executive producers from The Amazing Race, and Carrie Ann Inaba from Dancing With The Stars.  Carrie Ann wasn't able to attend, but we got a strong list of reality show participants that evening.  

Me and E!'s Michael Yo

Michael Yo was awesome, sweet and he dished on Paris Hilton's arrest that day for cocaine possession.  That's my kind of juicy interview.  I can't wait to post this video for you.  I should have it for you next week.  Stay tuned.

Whitney Port from The City

I was a huge fan of The Hills during the first couple of seasons, so it was fun to interview Whitney Port.  She has become quite the entrepreneur with her fashion line, Whitney Eve.   She looked stunning with a short, flapper-inspired dress and soft waves in her purposely messy updo. The girl is tall and she was wearing four inch heels to boot, so I looked right into her cleavage while I was talking to her.  I couldn't stop staring at her boobs.  It was a very strange situation to be stuck in, but hey, her décolletage looked good.  It was a pretty funny moment for me and JD, who was behind the camera watching it all.

Roxy Olin from The City

With an amazing acting lineage and a pretty face to boot, Roxy was there to present the award to her pal, Whitney.  She was charming during our short interview.  Next time, I will try and get the scoop on her parents, Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig, and the details of this season's Brothers and Sisters, which looks to be a bloodbath of cast cuts after last season's finale.

Jason Davis.....famous for nothing...or Celebrity Rehab.

I just call it like I see it, I'm not sure why he walked the red carpet and he didn't have much to say.  If you want to read about Jason, here you go.

Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race

Here's where the fun begins!  Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race popped onto the red carpet to help honor the show's Executive Producers, Bertram van Muster and Elise Doganieri. As a fan of The Amazing Race and one who has always wanted to get "PHILiminated" at the check-in point, it was pretty awesome to meet him. He was a super chatty interview.  I talked to him alone, then with his producers, and then with the CBS publicist.  At that point, the Reality Cares publicist asked me to wrap up the interview, I was hogging him. Even after I tried to finish the interview, he kept talking.  It was definitely a first.  I am usually begging people to talk, instead, Phil gave us a ton of material to work with.

Chatting on and on and on......

Finally, we were done and it was time to have fun.  Here's the elusive man behind the camera, JD Piche.   We never have fun together as you can see from the photos.  After we finished mugging for the camera, look who jumped into frame. Oh yeah, Phil. Sweet. I do think he's delicious, so I certainly didn't mind.
