The Friday Five

1. Hard Rock Hollywood/VH1 Save the Music:  Last week, I had the opportunity to fill-in for my friend, Leah Cevoli, who co-hosts a VH1 Save the Music event each Thursday.  VH1 Save the Music raises money to bring back instrumental music education in public schools.  They have raised $48 million for 1800 schools in over 100 cities. Pretty impressive, right?  To learn more about the program, click here.  I also want to thank Jimmy Alvarez of TNN Radio for the photos.





2. Up All Night:  I spent my Tuesday night at the Paley Center interviewing the cast of NBC's freshman comedy, Up All Night for Red Carpet Report.  At the time, they still haven't heard if they were getting a Season 2 pick-up (They are!), but they were in rare form on Tuesday night.  Insider scoop, Christina Applegate had a makeup stain on her jacket that was pretty noticeable.  She totally didn't care either.  I like that.  I also think Will Arnett is our generation's George Hamilton, he is perpetually tan.  See the interview and the makeup stain below:

3.  Instagram:  My favorite photo of the week:  This is for all of you who my job is always glamorous.  I was sitting on a floor for over an hour waiting with the rest of the media for the cast of Up All Night to arrive.  Sexy, right? (Follow me on Instagram:  @KristynBurtt)

4.  Article:  I always love to share articles with people. It's probably why I love Twitter so much.  I read a great article from Slate Magazine that featured Mad Men costume designer, Janie Bryant, and her overall vision for Season 5 of the show.  Take a gander here.

5.  Lip Gloss:  I have a new lip gloss to recommend:  Buxom Lips.  I know many of you try it for its lip plumping qualities to get your inner Angelina Jolie on, but here's why I like it:  No Parabens, sulfates, Phthalates, GMOs, or Triclosan.  That means, no crap went into making this lip gloss.  I purchased "Dolly" which is a muted plum. It's pretty awesome and you can buy it at Sephora for $18.  

Have a great weekend, you can always follow my weekend adventures on Twitter or Facebook.
