Today on Fox Chicago I did a segment on the newest trends in hair- and weaves.
We played a fun game where Anna had to guess if my two co workers and a Fox producer’s hair was real or faux.
The thing is, I really do believe it all three of the things we talked about; the Halo, Clip ins and Hot Heads.
I can not say enough about my love for Christina Morales- who does my hair. Anyone looking to try out extensions- she is 100% the way to go.
Watch the segment and all the fun here.

This is real. Reese Witherspoon- aka- the most vanilla, sweet celeb in Hollywood, got arrested.
For disorderly conduct!
Yes, while cops were administrating her hubby’s FST’s, she asked the officer; “Do you know my name?”.
Yada yada…the cop apparently doesn’t watch movies- ever- cause he said “no” and then hauled them both off to jail.
Now, I know a lot of you will say she’s gross for playing the “celeb” card with cops…but come on- you would all do the same thing.
I’m shocked and delighted by the fact that this squeaky clean actress actually has some edge and I’m ashamed for assuming she was so boring.
She must have been real tipsy, cause Elle Woods would NEVER have let this happen.
Cheers.
My gf who shall remain nameless, emailed me and said she needed some workout motivation to get into the gym after work.
My methods are cruel and very unusual…but I shared my words of wisdom…which I will now pass along to you:
Drink a 5 hr energy. Then go on Pintrest and go to the “quotes” or “fitness” category. Then go to the bathroom and lift up your shirt in the mirror – only stomach. Look at your pasty gut.
That should do it.
But really, try that the next time you’re thinking about skipping the gym.

I love brunch. I also love my gay friends. I am not really a fan of taking a cab all the way to Boystown on a Sunday. Why are there only one or two “gay” bars in River North? How do we create a fun brunch party?
Those random questions were swirling in a few of our heads and so we decided to do something about it.
Kevin Aeh, James Goeke and Ari Bendersky are three of my favorite people. They are; smart, hilarious, witty, snarky, and they surround themselves with an incredible network of people.
Chef Ryan Poli is VERY pro gay rights and always down for a fun and innovative party, so we all teamed up to throw our first “Bacon and H.A.M Brunch”.
The bacon was a play on the gay equality symbol and H.A.M is just funny and Goeke’s favorite saying- inside joke….but it worked.
We agreed we needed a dj would would get the vibe and play amazing music (Megan Taylor) and a liquor sponsor to help booze everyone up (Nicole Tempesta and Yacht Club Vodka).
I reached out to all my gay,straight and confused friends to invite them and most thought it was a great idea…cause the place was packed.
The vibe was really unlike anything I’ve seen in a while. Tempesta and her Yacht Vodka brought sailor hats which always seem fun after a cocktail or two. Everyone was up and chatting and bouncing around. It was my heaven.
Chef, Ari, Me, Nicole and James. Megan was busy spinning.
The next one will be even better- we are making notes on what worked and what didn’t.
But we can’t wait to taste the rainbow again.
Straight men- hello…girls love gay brunch!
Oh baby I’ve been slacking on this blog again, since my last post I’ve been to LA and back for an amazing wedding, had some great interviews here at CelebTV and done some living.
But I can’t not mention my girl’s concert Friday night.
You know how when you have an outfit you’re excited to wear…going out is that much more exciting? Well Friday night I stopped by the Nike Training Center in Lincoln Park and picked up the siiickest pair of kicks I’ve ever worn.
Nike is releasing their “City Pack” this week, with 5 shoes inspired by cities around the world. The Milan is going to be offered exclusively at the NTC here in Chicago and they will also carry the entire collection.
The Milan’s inspiration comes from Italian luggage and they are insanely cool.
so bad ass that a plain standing photo wasn’t enough.
I rocked these to Rihanna and had girls stop me to ask for a pic of the shoes and ask about them. This continued all weekend- since naturally I haven’t taken them off yet.
close up shot of the new kicks.
Now let’s focus on Rihanna. The doors opened at 6pm, with ASAP Rocky starting at 7:30p so we assumed Ri would go on around 9pm and planned accordingly.
Thank goodness we went late- cause ASAP was sick and didn’t perform. The United Center was filled with the most eccentric and diverse crew of fans I’ve ever seen at a show and they were all doing their best “Rihanna” impression when it came to fashion. It was a trip.
We had amazing seats (they were my Valentine’s Day gift) and were off to the side right by the stage.
Rihanna put on an amazing show, but of course I was bummed she’d didn’t sing “Shut Up and Drive” &”I’ve Loved and I’ve Lost”.
Shaun asked if she would sing “I’ve Loved and I’ve Lost” because of the whole Drake vs Chris Brown thing (he must be watching CelebTV or something) and I said I really hoped so. We had seen Drake do the song, but were hoping for Rihanna too- but no dice. HOWEVER she did do “What’s My Name”…so is more likely she didn’t do the song cause Drake is the feature…whatever…we were bummed.
She DID do “All of the Lights”, which I am completely obsessed with- and all in all I kinda blacked out during the show due to excitement of being there. Do you ever do that?? Not remember what happened due to being so pumped to be in the moment!?
I did manage to take one photo…and caught the moment she was clearly pointing at me. *I’m aware I’m delusional*
Hi!
Omar from CelebTV Latino later told me that she stayed at Public Hotel- but I’m not THAT cray to just show up and stalk her without an interview or something. I do like to maintain a bit of professionalism and integrity.
But after waiting months to see her…I can confirm that her Cockiness is well deserved.
Saturday night with actor Jake Abel, author Stephanie Meyer and actor/model Max Irons at the AMC River East Theater.
Working on Saturday night =’s not fun. Working on Saturday night when it involves leading a live Q&A for a theater full of fans of “The Host” =’s pretty awesome.
The theater was filled with fans of Meyer’s who’s questions were very solid- she answered each one thoughtfully.
Max Irons is a total British babe and very nice and Jake is super funny. I wish I had the chance to sit down with Stephanie and really ask her more about writing, but they didn’t invite me out with them after- SHOCKER.
As far as my opinion on the actual movie? To be really honest, Sci-fi and fantasy aren’t really my thing, but I did enjoy the film and it’s worth seeing for Max alone. *and now we know why I’m not a film critic*
Every girl wants beachy waves, right?
Bumble and Bumble must have made millions off their Surf Spray and yet still women can’t seem to nail this effortless looking style.
My co worker Jennifer McCarthy is as obsessed with new beauty and style trends as I am, and last week she brought in her newest toy- the Revlon 3 Barrel Waver.
She had tried it and felt more 80′s than sexy, and wanted another opinion.
I’ve tried a similar iron before and wound up with crimped, kinky hair that only looked good again after a wash. But this time I wised up and tested the iron on an extension first, was happy with the results and went for it.
post wave maker
I’m pretty, pretty happy with the results. I feel very Cindy Mancini and Marissa Miller-ish. FEEL, I’m aware I look nothing like these people. But if I squint when I look in the mirror…it works.
Can’t Buy Me Love, CAN buy me a wave iron.
It’s really easy to use- just start at the top of a section of hair…hold the iron…then move down to the end.
The true test was when my straight male friends complimented my new look- and imagine how it will look with Charmsies! *knowing I just lost my male audience*
