// PRESENTED by Samia Khan
The stories that started the blogging movement. A first-hand perspective on some of my favorite and/or most memorable celebrity hangouts and encounters, featuring everyone from Kobe Bryant to Lady Gaga, Chris Brown to Eva Longoria, and more.
This is the story about the meeting of two people who live in Los Angeles, yet, whose parents still live in Clovis, CA. One of these two just so happens to be a critically-acclaimed actor on FOX’s hit show, Glee. The other is…me. Here’s the thing. I’m not a Gleek (translation: Glee geek.) I’ve watched …
Q. What happens when Samia Khan tags along with her friend Jessica Berry to a comedy show at the J-Spot in Inglewood? A. Samia realizes she has less street cred than she thought (i.e.: They’re playing a rap song, she goes “Why aren’t they playing 2 Chainz?!” and her friend points out …“Samia, this IS 2 Chainz.”) B. …
This is a story about a girl who ends up “selling out” because she wanted to appear like she belonged at the ESPY Awards after party…(beyond just looking like a Basketball Wife.) And yes, that girl would be me. Samia Khan. Now, before you gossip-lovers jump to conclusions that I got wasted or hooked up …
Someone told me that in the future, people won’t have 15 minutes of fame… they’ll have 15 gigabytes of fame.[1] And sure, everyone thinks they can be “Internet Famous” (it’s really not that hard to open a Twitter account, start a blog, or post a video on YouTube.) But to do it right, it takes …
I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet, because well, real talk… in an effort to write the “perfect blog post”, I’ve just delayed writing it by 12 days, and that’s stupid because then nothing gets accomplished. This being realized, I will now begin every day repeating the mantra, “not everything I write …
I’d like to issue an apology to Donald Glover for taking two years to write a blog post about him. You see, the man also known to “Community” lovers as Troy Barnes and hip-hop heads as Childish Gambino is incredibly talented… and I? Well, I’m just a procrastinator. Perhaps I should take a hard-working cue …
What does an Extra correspondent, Diddy’s son, and a tech trade show have in common? Um. They all helped contribute to one of my life goals…a conversation with Justin Bieber (maybe not a LIFE goal, but at least something that 13-year-old SK would think was really dope.) The trade show? CES in Las Vegas. I …
“Hi…um, I follow you on Twitter, so it’s totally acceptable that I followed you into the bathroom, right?” The aforementioned quote? ALMOST actually stated, as a “pickup” line (on a girl, mind you)… So here’s the deal. I’m at the Hollywood Improv to check out a few friends (Jonny Loquasto and Grant Cotter) who are …
“DJ Reflex is one of the most influential players in the LA music scene as a tastemaker DJ, producer and entertainment entrepreneur. Credited for breaking acts from Kanye West, Lady Gaga to John Legend, he has made a name for himself not only as an accomplished celebrity DJ, but as a businessman with an undeniable …
What happens when you take a Grey-Goosed-out comedian friend (let’s call him FI, short for Funny Indian) to one of the hottest spots in Hollywood? Um. You befriend a Disney star whose song you secretly love (and not-so-secretly blast everytime it plays on Satellite Radio.) The Grey-Goosed-out friend? Rajiv Satyal (or as I call him, …
