LA is the only place where not having a 9-to-5 is considered totally acceptable, and in fact, in some cases, more respected. Hence why I’m never leaving. The following blog posts are also proof as to why life in LA is so dope.
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 …
“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 …
Okay so I have a confession… I used to WANT to be a Bruin. Yep, I spent my whole life telling people I was going to UCLA, only to choose (yes, I got into both USC and UCLA) it’s rival school. And, because of the “Breaking News” all over my Twitter and Facebook feed yesterday …
OK so this past weekend, I attended an event at the USC film school. I attend panels, network away, yet constantly get distracted by this guy… I can’t place it, but he looks SO familiar. Something about the eyes? I see him again and again, and we keep making eye-contact (or so I think it’s …
Yes, I went to the Chris Brown concert. Yes, the FAN Appreciation Tour. Now before I get “hate” comments, let me explain myself. I love live music. I love small venues. And I love a good performance. All three of these? Checked off the list. I know a lot of people were just like, “F …
I don’t know about you but I love The Simpsons. Like, if there’s one TV-Dad who raised me, it’s Homer Simpson. (Danny Tanner comes in a close second.) Anyway, The Simpsons were honored in the postage world with commemorative stamps, released on May 7th. The “official” release function was at the FOX Studios lot in …
Jay-Z. Eminem. Together…on the same stage. Yes, it happened weeks ago, but I’ve been on blogging hiatus and instead of recapping older events and going chronologically, I’d rather talk about the most exciting one. June 1st. 2009. So basically it’s the launch of “DJ Hero,” a new videogame like Guitar Hero…well, without the guitars. DJ …
