Malibu

The next day while visiting Los Angeles we all got up and headed out to sight see again. Ms. Steph and I  took a drive to Malibu. Lots of celebrities live in Malibu and as we were driving, I was admiring the condos/houses. I saw a pink n purple one that was too cute. These houses by the ocean were very pretty but very expensive. In Atlanta our homes are soo big compared to the houses that I was seeing and we pay way less. I guess it’s all about the location, I didnt get that lol.

So we went to country mart where they had alot of lil gift shops and boutiques and restaurants. It was very sunny and pretty outside. Ms.Steph and I spotted an actors and director while people watching on the bench. I first saw spikey haired Brian Grazer who directed and produced soo many movies. He has won academy awards too. We then saw actor Dermott Mulroney who starred in The Wedding Date and other movies. He was playing with his kids.

While at the mart we also saw this cute lil haute dog dressed in pink, being strolled by her owner. I laughed so hard. The dog was wearing pink shades and a pink cowboy hat. How fun was that!

Later that day before I had to cover the red carpet for Niecy Nash B-day party, we stopped by a place called, Beard Papas. I was thinking that’s a strange name but once I saw what is was, I was in heaven. I guess Beard Papas is the hottest bakery in Los Angeles now because I got tweets to try this place. Ms. Steph and J.D. swore by it. When I tried their eclairs they were simply delish. I always have to stop by and add one food spot that I visited each day. Loved it!

FIDM Museum

We also stopped by www.fidmmuseum.org. There they had an exhibit for Hollywood 2010: The Art of Motion Picture Costume Design. It’s on display till April 17th. It was so fun to look at the clothing worn by all those actors.It was over 100 costumes and two dozen of last year’s movies, such as The Young Victoria, Star Trek, Julie & Julia, An Education, Nine, Broken Embraces, and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I couldn’t believe how small Ben Stiller pants were lol. I also saw costumes from, Night of the Museum and Sherlock Holmes. Mostly all the actors are extremely small and short. We were not able to film or take pics, I was not happy argh! Well seeing all of these things were soo much fun,shout out to J.D. and Ms.Steph for showing me around!

nine ps 15 202x300 My review on Nine

I couldn’t wait for this movie to come out NINE! I was excited and got my tickets in advance and even went by myself because everybody was tied up with holiday stuff. I get to the theater and first thing I noticed was that the seats were half empty! This was Christmas night and the movie theatre was packed! Sherlock Holmes lines were long as heck but nobody was in Nine, first clue!

I sat down and the movie started. It started off with a bang then sizzled out quickly! I think that Daniel Day-Lewis is a great actor but he was a lil hard to watch dancing and singing lol. I also didn’t understand how he had all these women drooling over him. To me, he looks ok but not drop dead gorgeous like Daniel Craig lol.

That was a little unbelievable for me. He was suppose to play a married man in the movie that was a film director but was weak to beautiful women. It just didn’t make sense to me. In the movie, he was having a hard time trying to stay focused, while trying to make another hit movie.

Penelope Cruz did a great job and she played a sexy singer/actress and his mistress.  Kate Hudson was another person that I didn’t think was good for the role of a sex symbol. She is more of a girl next door, or the fun chic you want to party with but not a sex symbol at all, not believable. Plus, she had a very small role in the movie.

Fergie wasn’t even worth talking about because she was in the movie for like 3 minutes. You wouldn’t even recognize her if you didn’t watch the trailer first or look really fast lol.

Throughout the movie, people kept getting up and leaving. I counted 15 in total. Alot of the people were saying it sucked, ouch! I haven’t seen people do that since GoodFellas because of all the commentary in it. The scenery and costumes were beautiful but the movie was very hard to understand and it was all over the place. I wish that it was better but it wasn’t. I heard it got alot of Oscar buzz but I don’t know how. It was an epic fail for me. I’m not a movie critic at all but I do go to movies alot.  So all of this is my opinion, enjoy and go see it if you like but I’m warning you in advance lol. I give this movie a D!
