So, let\u2019s begin, shall we?:<\/p>\n
4\/9\/16<\/strong> Original Dark Shadows<\/em> actress, (and my pal,) Kathryn Leigh Scott<\/strong>, in Hollywood at the launch party for her new book about the horrific death of her beloved husband, Los<\/em> Angeles Magazine<\/em> publisher, Geoff Miller. I’m glad that, as painful as writing it may have been for her, she’s letting everyone know of the little known disease that felled my lovely friend.<\/p>\n Ronn Moss. Sorry I got just the back of him. But even that’s handsome!

(You can read my review of that show here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/theatre-kinky-boots<\/a>.)<\/p>\n 4\/22\/16 Ronn Moss<\/strong>, who starred on The Bold and the Beautiful<\/em> for a quarter of a century(!), playing is old music, (from when he was in the \u201870s group, Player,) at fashion designer Sue Wong<\/strong>‘s birthday fete at her home, The Cedars, in Los Feliz. I used to know him slightly, but hadn’t seen him in years. I had never realized it before, but that is is one gorgeous hunk of man! (You can read my review of that whole soiree here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/party-sue-wongs-birthday-soiree<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Ricky Schroeder watching Chris Daughtry. Photo by Alice Farinas.<\/p><\/div>\n 4\/30\/16 Andra Day<\/strong>, doing an uber-private concert in a cocktail lounge setting at a studio in Hollywood. While she\u2019s not quite<\/em> a big celebrity yet, she really should be! From her holiday commercial with Stevie Wonder alone! But I think her single, Rise Up<\/em>, is helping to put her on the map, which she already deserved to be on.

(To read more about this event, please click here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/music-att-audience-network-concert-series.<\/a>)<\/p>\n James Franco. Photo by Alice Farinas.<\/p><\/div>\n 5\/8\/16 \u00a0James Franco<\/strong>! \u00a0He moderated the Q-and-A after a screening of the very indie film, Those People<\/em>, at the Arena Cinema in Hollywood. \u00a0It’s a tiny theatre to begin with, so no one was that far away from him, but I was impressed that he stayed afterwards for the wine reception in the garden, to support his NYU pal, Joey Kuhn, who wrote and directed it. (You can read my review of that movie, and the whole event, here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/movie-reviewevent-those-people<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Dennis Christopher. Photo by Amy Graves.<\/p><\/div>\n 5\/18\/16 \u00a0Dennis Christopher<\/strong>, the star of the classic film Breaking Away<\/em>, at the opening night of the Jewish Film Festival in Beverly Hills. He was on stage, presenting an award to the Laemmle Family, of the movie theatre chain fame. (You can read my review of that gala here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/event-los-angeles-jewish-film-festival-opening-night-gala<\/a>.)<\/p>\n 6\/3\/16 \u00a0Jay Leno<\/strong>, driving one of his many classic cars, a Monteverdi, in Bel-Air. \u00a0I was driving along Mulholland Drive, right behind him. Right<\/em> behind! \u00a0Like I was stalking him. (Although, if I was<\/em> stalking someone, I think I\u2019d be a bit more stealth about it.) When I first noticed him turning off from Sepulveda, I did so because of the car<\/em>, not the driver<\/em>. \u00a0Then I saw that distinguishable shock of thick, white hair, and the face that was the length of the entire window, and realized right away it was Jay. \u00a0(The big picture at the top of this page is of\u00a0Jay Leno in his car. \u00a0Love that license plate! \u00a0Photo by Karen Salkin.)<\/p>\n Dwight Howard and Karen Salkin. Photo by Hillary Clark.<\/p><\/div>\n 6\/13\/16 Dwight Howard<\/strong> at the Hotel Bel-Air in–where else?–Bel-Air! Duh. That made it worth it that I was up at the crack of dawn for a \u201cbeauty breakfast\u201d there. And I\u2019m happy to report that he was darling! Now I\u2019m a fan again. So perhaps he\u2019s in LA to discuss becoming a Laker or Clipper next season. Remember\u2014you read it here first!<\/p>\n Courtney B. Vance and Karen Salkin. Photo by RozWolfPR.<\/p><\/div>\n 6\/15\/16 Courtney B. Vance,<\/strong>\u00a0Danica McKellar, <\/strong>and Minnie Driver<\/strong> at the Art For ALS event in Santa Monica. Courtney was lovely, and told me I was \u201ctoo kind\u201d when I effused over his recent performance as Johnnie Cochran in the mini-series about the OJ murders.
