I was waiting at the elevator at my new dentist&#8217;s office in Century City, when I thought that one of the tall guys waiting with me looked familiar, and thought it was a pal&#8217;s son. Yeah, someone I <em>wish<\/em> had been my pal, it turned-out.  It was <strong>Michael Jackson&#8217;s son, Prince<\/strong>!!!  And with him was little <strong>Blanket<\/strong>!  The only living person with hair longer than mine.  There were a few other people with them, and when they finally got off, (we were both going to high-up floors, so we were squished in there for quite a few minutes,) I realized the beautiful tall girl was<strong> Paris Jackson<\/strong>!<\/div>\n<div>I was shocked because she&#8217;s taller than I am!  And she&#8217;s just a kid.  Anyway, when they all got off ensemble, I said, \u201cAll of you?  Great, because I&#8217;m claustrophobic and wanted the elevator to myself.\u201d  They actually smiled and chuckled.  So, does that make us New Best Friends?  I think so, although they may have a different take on it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>8\/26\/12  Kate Burton<\/strong>, whom I see several times a year because she&#8217;s married to Music Center head honcho, Michael Ritchie, which makes her sort-of the First Lady of that venue, I guess.  But it didn&#8217;t hit me until recently that, in addition to having that distinction, and being a famous actress in her own right, she&#8217;s the daughter of Richard Burton, which makes her step-daughter of Elizabeth Taylor!  I had forgotten all about that, but, what with Liz and Dick getting so much attention recently, I remembered, and looked on Kate anew when I saw her at the after-party for opening night of <em>The Elephant Room<\/em> at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>9\/5\/12<\/strong><em> So You Think You Can Dance<\/em> judge, and krump dancer, <strong>Lil&#8217; C<\/strong>, at his one-night-only show, <em>The Underground: From The Streets To The Stage<\/em>.

I&#8217;m assuming that means they&#8217;re all good people because the event benefitted AIDS Project Los Angeles and Project Angel Food, two excellent organizations.
