Weekly Wrap-Up

I can't believe we are finally here.  It was a cranky week for me and I would love to tell you all of the reasons for wearing my grumpy pants all week.  Hhhhmmm, buy me a cupcake and I will tell you a story fit for the movies.  It's that juicy, but it makes me crabby.  Let's get to some of the good stuff instead!

We have the last of the Emmys Weekend interviews.  You can see the entire portfolio here, but here a few fun treats to take a look at and remember, you can find the behind the scenes stories of the shoot here and here.

Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race:


Whitney Port, The City:


Vienna Girardi, The Bachelor:


Michael Yo, host on E!:


Roxy Olin, The City: (Man, she looks SO much like her mother, Patricia Wettig, of Brothers and Sisters.  Beautiful!)


For my LA readers, tonight is Fashion's Night Out at Saks 5th Avenue sponsored by Girls in Tech LA.  I will be covering the event and hopefully, score a deal or two because I really want a pair of clogs for fall.  If you would like to purchase a ticket, remember that a portion of the proceeds go to Dress for Success.

Also, don't forget about the Web TV Prom on September 22nd benefitting LA's Our House.  I have my dress fitting today and I can't wait to share prom night all of you.  You can purchase your tickets here or enter to win two FREE tickets to the prom.  Winner will be announced on Thursday, September 16th.

More goodies from Fashion Forms to try.

I also want to thank Fashion Forms for reading my post and sending me a huge box of goodies.  My undergarments better not show ever again on the red carpet.  I will try out the new products and let you know what I think.

A different view of the red carpet for me.  I wasn't working tonight, so I caught the action from above!

Inside the Paley Center, Beverly Hills.

For those of you looking forward to the new TV season, I had the opportunity to attend the NBC Fall Premiere Party where I watched the pilots of several new shows.  Here's a quick recommendation:  skip Outsourced as it is nothing short of offensive and full of Indian stereotypes.  Check out The Event, if only for the dashing good looks of Jason Ritter.  He steals the show in this 24-type action/mystery series.

Finally, I am hosting a new 5-minute infomercial that should land on your TV sets soon.  I wasn't able to grab a photo on set, but I think many of you may recognize the product.  Oh yeah, that product.  It was a great day and I will let you know when it is up and running.

Have a lovely weekend.  I have a Pre-VMA party and the closing weekend of the Hollywood Bowl on the schedule, but make sure to take a moment to remember all those we lost on 9/11 nine years ago.  Never forget.

See you on Monday here at Red Carpet Closet!

Emmys 2010: The Finale

                                      

We have finally reached the end of Emmys Weekend event coverage.  Phew.  It was a busy few days and it took almost an entire week for me to share all of the pictures.  Many have you asked about the interview and where you can see them.  Once they are edited and ready for viewing, I will post them and the appropriate links for you.  Our editor is hard at work as we speak as he has a ton of footage to attend to.

Now, let's get down to the fun stuff:  photos from the last red carpet event last weekend.  It was the Reality Cares Achievement Awards at The Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive and yes, we spent a lot of time here over the course of two days.  The honorees that night included Whitney Port of The City, the executive producers from The Amazing Race, and Carrie Ann Inaba from Dancing With The Stars.  Carrie Ann wasn't able to attend, but we got a strong list of reality show participants that evening.  

Me and E!'s Michael Yo

Michael Yo was awesome, sweet and he dished on Paris Hilton's arrest that day for cocaine possession.  That's my kind of juicy interview.  I can't wait to post this video for you.  I should have it for you next week.  Stay tuned.

Whitney Port from The City

I was a huge fan of The Hills during the first couple of seasons, so it was fun to interview Whitney Port.  She has become quite the entrepreneur with her fashion line, Whitney Eve.   She looked stunning with a short, flapper-inspired dress and soft waves in her purposely messy updo. The girl is tall and she was wearing four inch heels to boot, so I looked right into her cleavage while I was talking to her.  I couldn't stop staring at her boobs.  It was a very strange situation to be stuck in, but hey, her décolletage looked good.  It was a pretty funny moment for me and JD, who was behind the camera watching it all.

Roxy Olin from The City

With an amazing acting lineage and a pretty face to boot, Roxy was there to present the award to her pal, Whitney.  She was charming during our short interview.  Next time, I will try and get the scoop on her parents, Ken Olin and Patricia Wettig, and the details of this season's Brothers and Sisters, which looks to be a bloodbath of cast cuts after last season's finale.

Jason Davis.....famous for nothing...or Celebrity Rehab.

I just call it like I see it, I'm not sure why he walked the red carpet and he didn't have much to say.  If you want to read about Jason, here you go.

Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race

Here's where the fun begins!  Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race popped onto the red carpet to help honor the show's Executive Producers, Bertram van Muster and Elise Doganieri. As a fan of The Amazing Race and one who has always wanted to get "PHILiminated" at the check-in point, it was pretty awesome to meet him. He was a super chatty interview.  I talked to him alone, then with his producers, and then with the CBS publicist.  At that point, the Reality Cares publicist asked me to wrap up the interview, I was hogging him. Even after I tried to finish the interview, he kept talking.  It was definitely a first.  I am usually begging people to talk, instead, Phil gave us a ton of material to work with.

Chatting on and on and on......

Finally, we were done and it was time to have fun.  Here's the elusive man behind the camera, JD Piche.   We never have fun together as you can see from the photos.  After we finished mugging for the camera, look who jumped into frame. Oh yeah, Phil. Sweet. I do think he's delicious, so I certainly didn't mind.
