The Real Housewives of Orange County

Now, I'm sad that this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County has come to a close. However, the finale was fantastic. I've never seen them fight like that, and it got intense at moments. The "physical altercation" made for some wonderfully juicy reality television. In the meantime, I've got The Real Housewives of New Jersey to look forward to in terms of satiating my desire for some more off-the-wall "reality". You've got to see the season finale of Orange County if you haven't though!

Let's hope the ladies have a fun "dramatic" summer!

Here are the lovely ladies...

Here's a personal favorite segment...

The Hangover II

I really did love The Hangover II. It was hilarious and super raunchy! I was laughing out loud the whole time. However, I didn't love it as much as I loved the first film. Maybe, it was because I have such an affinity for Las Vegas that I enjoyed the first movie more. Definitely go see it if you want a big laugh.

Also, this trailer above has two quotes from my boyfriend Rick Florino! That's pretty awesome!!!

Deadmau5

 I've just come to the conclusion that Deadmau5's most recent album, 4X4=12, is one of the best electronic music releases in a long time. I've always loved Deadmau5, but now I've recently taken the time to really get into this particular record, and it literally gets better with every spin. He has this unique style, that's both futuristic and tribal all at once. I really can't wait to see him when he plays the Palladium in Hollywood...I'll be there and ready to dance for sure...

Here's a video....

Getting Haunted at Disneyland

Okay, so Disney should make more horror-oriented stuff, because they do such a fantastic job at it. This creepy head in the seance room at The Haunted Mansion is terrifying! Is this stuff really for kids?

Laney Goes Swimming

I haven't seen very many puppies swim, but Laney, my little Boston Terrier, absolutely loves the pool! Recently, while I was down in Houston, Laney took a dip in the pool with my boyfriend, and she swam incredibly! She also looked beyond cute floating in the lounge chair in the middle of the pool. Here are some pictures...Can you even imagine anything cuter than a six-pound, three-month-old Boston Terrier swimming in a pool that's way to big for her? Nope, I can't...

Star Wars Ride at Disneyland

It just opened up, and after a near-95 minute wait, we embarked upon our journey to a Galaxy far, far away. It was definitely fun and better than the original "Star Tours", however, is anything really worth waiting that long for, especially a ride? The 3D was cool, but it felt more like one of the new movies than the old classics. Overall, a fun time, but wait for the lines to die down...

Disneyland

I went for the third time this year yesterday, and it was pretty breathtaking and magical to say the least. I love Disneyland! The best rides for me are Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Peter Pan's Flight, and Thunder Mountain! It gets better every time I go...

Arnold...

Given everything that's going on with Arnold Schwarzenegger right now, I wanted to share my favorite video of the Predator-smashing greatest action hero of all time. Now, the video embraces two things I love Arnold and electronic music. Enjoy...

Scary Movies

I love them beyond all words, however, I truly can't watch them! It's been over a month since I watched Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2 again and I am still freaked out! I don't know what it is, but those movies are terrifying. It's not so much during the viewing, but then the real fear comes afterwards. I don't want to be a chicken, but those movies are way too scary for their own good!

Laney is the Cutest Dog Ever

There are a myriad of reasons why my baby Laney is the cutest dog in the entire universe. However, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Check out these two pictures of Laney, the best Boston Terrier ever. She is beyond cute, and I just figured I would share my two favorite photos of her!

AND........

Can you even think of anything cuter? I dare you to!

Alligators in Houston

I've seen a lot of interesting and cool things in my day, but not much compared to seeing almost 20 alligators at Brazos Bend in Houston! It's this  expansive park with various hiking trails where alligators live and roam free. I couldn't believe how close you could get to them!

Training Laney

So training a puppy is NOT easy, for the faint of heart, or for people with  new rugs. I love Laney so much, but she's still doing #1 and #2 everywhere. We take her out as much as we can, and she's slowly but surely getting more adept and comfortable with going outside but it's a challenge!

Does anyone have any puppy training tips?

Feel free to comment!

Interior Decorating

Over this long and arduous, yet extremely exciting process of moving, I've realized a couple of things. My boyfriend is a hoarder (see previous blog entries for more on that), I appreciate sleep now more than ever, IKEA is my new best friend, and finally, that I love interior decorating! I've had so much fun arranging every little detail of our new home. It's got a chic, yet welcoming vibe. I've put so much time, care, and diligence and to making our home the best ever. I've watched a lot of decorating shows and read many magazines, and it all contributes! Maybe, I can get a side job interior decorating?

Sundays are for Sleep

I finally got to sleep in today! In fact, my whole family, my boyfriend and puppy, collectively slept until 2:30 pm. Now, we're all extremely refreshed and not only ready to face the day, but  ready to face the week! There's nothing like resting on a Sunday. It feels oh so grrreeeatttt!

Laney is a Little CRAZY

I absolutely love my dog, but she can get a little nutty! In fact, I recently witnessed her knock over the baby gate that keeps her confined in the kitchen when we go out! She is only 6 lbs, and she steamrolled right through it like a little canine Terminator! I couldn't believe it...hasta la vista sleep!

Here is a picture of her hiding out in the DVD case!

Branches in the Living Room

Okay, I need some help. I purchased these two sets of black branches and large exotic looking vases to flank my television set, and they just look a little too dead for my taste right now. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to brighten them up? I went to numerous stores, Michael's, Target, etc. in order to find flowers or something to add color, and there's nothing! Where can I get a cool accoutrement for these?

Laney's Shots

I'm taking my puppy to get her last shots in a couple weeks , and then she's all done! She can finally go outside, walk, and play. I really am looking forward to walking her around the neighborhood and seeing her reaction.

Sunglasses Just Won't Fit Him

So after going to three stores in Huntington Beach and scouring other locations, I still can't find cool sunglasses that will fit my boyfriend's ginormous head! Can anybody out there help with suggestions on where to find slick-looking sunglasses for someone with a big noggin? HELP!

Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses

So, as a moving present, my boyfriend surprised me with a pair of gold Dolce & Gabbana Sunglasses! There are the most gorgeous and sleek sunglasses that I've ever seen. I love them! I haven't had a chance to wear them just yet, but I will soon!

My New LED Televison

I just got a 46" Samsung LED HD TV for our living room, and all I can say is, "Wow"! I was watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey and it was so clear I could see the pasta bubbling on screen and see every one of the people on the show's blemishes—maybe not something I want to see, but that's how great the quality is. Most importantly, Call of Duty looks so vibrant on the screen. I felt like I really was at war!

Chris Cornell Is One of the Greatest Singers Ever

Recently, I had the privilege of seeing Soundgarden and Audioslave singer Chris Cornell play a stripped-down acoustic set at The John Ford Amphitheatre. It was nothing short of breathtaking! Hearing him play songs like "Black Hole Sun" and "Fell On Black Days" acoustically sent chills up my spine. Plus, I got to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the show. There was one diehard drunk fan dancing to "Burden In My Hand" trying to encourage everyone to stand up! It would've made for a hilarious YouTube video, but more importantly Chris was amazing.

Guess What I Found….

While I was moving, I found 13 canisters of unused Axe deodorant that my boyfriend was HOARDING!!! He needs to quit the hoarding, reference a previous blog for an explanation of his problem. I'm going to have Dr. Drew intervene soon. The craziest part was some of the deodorant was expired! No more hoarding now that we're in the new place! That's the last word on that.

Houston Trip

I had a layover once and was in Houston, but I went for a Memorial Day mini-vacation with my Boyfriend. It was so exciting! His mom has two big Golden Retrievers that I had a blast playing with! Also, even better news, we brought Laney!!! You can see her traveling below!

People that Could Be Characters in Napoleon Dynamite

Now, I don't know if there's something in there but lately I have met many people that seem like characters from Napoleon Dynamite. It's not that they're bad. They're just quirky and a little strange like that girl in the movie who had the ponytail on the side of her head. There's nothing wrong with it, it takes all kinds to make the world go round, but there are a lot of folks I've met recently who seem like they hopped off the screen…

Going to Warner Brothers Studio Lot for the First Time

Was an awesome experience! The lot is so genuinely cool. There is all of this history and so many amazing movies have been made there. You could practically feel it when I stepped through the gate. I was excited to be up close and personal with all of it, and it makes me even prouder to be in this business.

Living in the Hollywood Hills IS All It's Cracked Up to Be!

Okay, so you always hear about celebrities moving up to the Hollywood Hills. I'm proud to say that I'm in that elite club now, hahahaha. I just moved into a spectacular new place right by Runyon Canyon. It's got an incredible view of the city, and it has a chic feel (thanks to my decorating). I love the place so much because it's also perfect for Laney to run around and. The air is a little cleaner for L.A., and it's spacious!  It's the perfect place for me to do publicity out of as I'm in close proximity to everything entertainment-related.

My Puppy Laney

So, a little over one week ago, my boyfriend and I welcomed the best puppy in the entire world into our home! Her name is Laney and she is a three-month old Boston Terrier. She's only 6lbs, but those 6lbs can run extremely fast and don't get tired either. She's beyond loving and cute! When she falls asleep on the couch, she has this lilting snore and her little pigtail quivers. She also really loves lying in the sun when it comes through the window onto the carpet. She's still getting used to the whole "doing her business" on the puppy pads thing, but she's almost there! I can't believe how in love I am with Laney! Soon she is going to be big enough to go hiking at Runyon Canyon with us!

Summertime Is Almost Here

It's June which means a couple things. First off, summer is around the corner. Secondly, my birthday is coming up on the 20th! Start preparing now…
