Well I've finally finished Andy Cohen's book Most Talkative and it gets two snaps up in a circle from me. Not only was it in depth about some of the Housewife of (insert your favorite franchise here) drama but gave lots of behind the scenes on the man himself! From a little boy being raised in St. Louis we learn about his journey in journalism. I really had no idea he had such an extensive journalism background. Like that he really knows Mike Wallace or wait is that Dan Rather? Whatever that's pretty major! One of the funniest things is his infatuation with Susan Lucci - really no surprise but I'll have to say Andy it's a bit unhealthy honey. She's like OLD and yeah just move on!
Anywhoo if you're looking for an end of the summer beach read this is the one. Price is great when you download it your iPad or favorite e-Reader or hold up....Barnes and Noble has it for $1.99 in hardcover. Ouchhhh (said in my Andy Cohen voice).
If you've read it let me know what you thought? Was I the only one that took 3 months to read it? I want to know. Drop me a line below.
Tyler Perry (smh) is being sued by a man professing that Tyler's new movie "Temptation" is his story. William Jones is claiming that he gave the script to someone at Harpo Studios that said she would get it into Tyler's hands. Now doesn't he know that Oprah had a disclaimer that if you don't deal with her directly you are taking matters into your own hands? Well the suit is asking for Jones to receive proper crediting for the movie as well as unspecified damages and other relief. Okay sir we all have written a script or two that Tyler has "stolen" for a movie (side eye). Keep it movin!
The Housewife of OC is getting a new husband! Yep Gretchen Rossi has asked her beau Slade to marry her. Yes she proposed! Gretchen is being quoted as saying, "I'm in love with the man and I needed to take the plunge." Don't worry all you Vickie was right fans...Slade followed up with his own ring for Gretchen and we'll have to say it's a real knock out! Congrats love-bugs!
Style DIVA
Adventures
It was a roller skating kind of week over may way in Sunny California. Being that it was National Volunteer Appreciation Week I had events planned all week for my adult and junior volunteers. It was great fun but also tiring. Add on top of that a lavish employee service award Red Carpet celebration and BAM this DIVA needed some R&R this weekend that she never got. That's because I had to hike it down to Santa Barbara for the Hyundai Epic Play Date. You can read more about that on our blog here. Don't feel sorry for this girl, she loves every minute of it. Cheers till next week!
1 can (12 ounces) frozen limeade concentrate
10 strawberries (or 12 if you're using smaller ones from the farmer's market or
your backyard.)
8 basil leaves
2 to 2 1/2 cups tequila (gold or silver)
Mixing Instructions
Empty the limeade concentrate into a pitcher. Add 2 1/2 cans of water
and 1 1/2 (18 ounces, or 2 1/4 cups) cans of tequila (or a bit less, if you
don't want your drinks to be quite as strong).
Hull the strawberries, slice lengthwise, and add to the pitcher. Crumple
the basil a little in your hands (this will help the basil flavor release into
the drink) and add it to the pitcher, too. Place the pitcher, covered, in the
fridge overnight, or for at least four hours.
When you remove the pitcher from the fridge, your margaritas will be a
lovely pale pink color. Now all you have to do is serve them and wait for the
compliments to pour in.
Enjoy!
