Wango Tango Continued: The Cliffs Notes Version.
Did a lot of interviews with C-listers not worth mentioning (OK so Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian’s mom… is totally prepping her like 12-year-old daughters for fame. I mean really, who takes their kids on the carpet? AND has them do media?)
You know that song “Beggin’?” It’s a catchy tune. The guys that make up Madcon are super fun, we talk for like 10 minutes… mostly nonsense. They ask me where I’m from, I ask them to guess, they say “You look Slumdoggy… but that’s a good thing.” They then proceed to convince me that one of the guys in the group is Pakistani, and begin naming ethnic cuisine (and yes, I’m gullible so I believe them.)
Lady Gaga… Would it be cheesy to say she puts the GAG in Gaga? I mean really… CTFO (Chill the F out.) Maybe her weirdness is her gimmick, but I dunno. She gives random/short answers, didn’t really have a “Poker Face,” walks around with an entourage of 2 guys dressed in all black, and speaking of fashion… eeek. I think she needs to get some sense. Maybe fashionistas think it’s hot, but to the rest of the world, it’s just awkward looking. Wear pants.
Flo Rida… LOVE him. He was a doll to speak with, but perhaps it’s just because he kept calling me “baby.” Whatever, makes it a lot easier to keep conversation going. I told him he’d be the reason I get pulled over by a cop – and share an anecdote about a time that “Right Round” came on, and without realizing it, I started dancing in the car, no hands on the wheel, and eeek! There was a cop staring right behind me. Awkward? Anyway. Flo Rida shows off his “swag” (kinda the theme of the evening), we eventually part ways… and yeah.
Then comes the gifting suite. You know how at like big awards shows, celebs can go inside a tent and pick up whatever they want for free? Apparently magazine reporters often times get invites to this stuff, and since I’m in TV, I’m oblivious to the perks of journalism. Anyway, my friend Nick from People got the invite, and got a +1, so lucky me… I got to go in and grab some swag. We had limited time, but I did grab that special “luck” bracelet I mentioned in a previous post, a tank, a few graphic tees, an iPhone case, a ring, and some things I’d feel awkward mentioning in a public post. I saw Tyson Ritter from The All American Rejects try on some underwear over his jeans…awkward? Funny, moreso.
Also spotted? Lauren Conrad running up to Stephanie Pratt (Spencer’s sister) and giving her a giant hug, outside the swag suite. And no, camera crews weren’t following her…so I can confirm that their friendship is genuine, not made up for the “reality” show they star in.
