I originally launched Khanversations.com as a blog in 2009. Basically, it was a way for me to save myself from running out of breath… (my friends kept asking me to retell the celebrity encounters I had while working for the TV Guide Network, and well, it was easier to write it once and have them read it, than repeat for 50 different people.)
The blog was a great outlet to discover my comedic, conversational writing style and eventually, I opted to stop writing about funny celebrity encounters and instead use it more as an outlet to write creatively.
What happens when you encounter a couple basketball teams (more specifically, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the LA Clippers) at a club? THIS: SK on Birthday: “Hi Kevin, I’m Samia. It’s my birthday, can I have a picture?” Kevin Durant, busy partying: “Sure” *we pose* I’m happy. And now, an Oklahoma City Thunder fan. Enjoy …
What happens when you go inside the bedroom of a Bachelor(ette)? A party ensues. Bachelor Pad winner Natalie Getz is the kind of girl that you’d want at your Bachelorette Party – fun, loud, energetic, single, fashionable. This wasn’t a normal closet visit – this one involved beverages and dancing and all sorts of things …
OK so anyone who has been to Canada with me, or is a celebrity from Canada, or is just around me when the term “Canada” comes up knows that I have this odd obsession with the country up north (where everyone is excessively nice and says ‘eh’ after every sentence.) I’ve brought this up with …
Inspired. Not usually the term I’d use when describing the feeling after a work-related shoot (keep in mind I cover fashion and celebs for a living) but… for this first time since my days as a local news reporter covering things like death, war, disease, fires, fairs, and the like, I’ve actually been affected. Now, …
So, I interviewed Snooki. Yes, THE Nicole Polizzi (Fun fact: people in her inner circle refer to her as “Nicole” – because well, when she’s out and about and the fans are screaming “Snooki”, the important people can be differentiated. So stalkers/fans, take note…) I’ve never watched Jersey Shore…willingly, at least. I have a friend …
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is asking Taboo if he’s Taboo a taboo thing to do? So here’s the deal. We’re late to a “Taboo Shows Off His New Sneaker Line” event at Mandalay Bay in Vegas. But, as someone who doesn’t give up (or well, I’d like to believe that) we go anyway. (Side note: …
Once upon a time (January 2010), in a land far, far away (well far if you live in China), I did a set visit to the NBC show “Community”. In this magical land of television… of lights, cameras, action and all that other fancy stuff related to Hollywood… I had a conversation with Joel McHale, …
OK so it’s the end of 2010…and another year is upon us. What this means? (Well, aside from finding some crazy party to go to so that we can all take pictures and update our statuses about how great the night was…) It’s time for New Year’s resolutions. And to be honest – I don’t …
I interview a lot of people. Famous people, in fact (which, I’m assuming you know, since well…you’re reading this blog.) And…I don’t get star struck. But every once in a while, I can become a little…“fan-like.” This usually happens whenever the person is from the 90’s, or related to music or basketball. Why? Because I …
So, fate had it that I ended up at LA-trendy-burger joint Umami Burger the other night (thought trendy and burger in my opinion should contradict eachother.) Umami, being a “trendy” place, obviously had a wait. Yes, 12-dollar-burgers (no sides included) are wait-worthy…when you’re expensing your meal. So, I waited. And in that waiting period, I …
