    My Guide to L.A. – Bars

    ‘ When I lived in L.A., one of my favorite things to do was grab a drink with the Grim Cheaper at a different bar every Saturday night.  I loved discovering, cocktail in hand, the myriad of fabulous lounges the city has to offer, many of them historic.  That being said, I am in no…

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be spending the upcoming week in the Desert visiting my parents, so I will be taking the next five days off from blogging.  But I did have a fabulous pre-Oscar week during which I finally got a picture with my “unicorn”, Miss Kristin Cavallari, who, I am very happy to report, was…

Simpson with Kim Goldman, which just finished its first season.  In it, the sister of murder victim Ronald Goldman interviews numerous key players in the so-called Trial of the Century, including jurors, prosecutors, witnesses and one of the defense…
