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.
What happens when you @mention a former NBA player on Twitter, who just so happens to have gone to your high school? You end up becoming Twitter friends and getting dinner the next time he’s in town. First things first… the NBA player? Bruce Bowen (most notable for winning three NBA championships in the early …
Dear Caroline Sunshine (of Disney Channel fame), You live up to the brightness that your last name emanates. ~ SK Okay, okay… I know most of my readers don’t watch “Shake It Up” (or Disney for that matter), so I won’t write about how awesome Caroline is, how much she loves shoes, or how well-put …
Knock knock. Who’s there? Ron Artest. Ron Artest who? Ron Artest the comedian. Okay okay, I know that wasn’t the best joke you’ve ever heard… but um, that’s because it’s not a joke. It’s reality (funny reality, albeit.) So as any basketball fan knows, the NBA is locked out. As a result, basketball players are …
Debby Ryan is the next _______. Whether you fill in the blank with Miley, Demi, or Selena, the point is she’s Disney’s next “it” girl. Anyway. I went shoe shopping with the “Suite Life” star – and discovered she’s super… sweet (pun totally intended.) So here’s the deal. I say the word “eeek” a lot. …
I don’t normally go into shoe-shopping trips and expect to leave with a fear of drinking water – but… that was the case the other day when I tagged along with “Chuck” actress Mekenna Melvin (Josh’s gf Alex McHugh). Before we went shoe shopping, I was discussing my dehydration, and my need for bottled water, …
Reasons to support your friend’ endeavors: 1. You have talented friends who are entertaining (legitimately entertaining… like, when they post videos on YouTube, a million people watch kind of entertaining) 2. You’ll meet new people (well, if you go out of your way to have a conversation with a stranger, you’ll meet new people. MAYBE …
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, …
