12/8/10 So I bought a slice of pizza at the nearby NY PIZZA place on way to the hollywood star ceremony for hans zimmer...its not worth $5 by the way, but I bought a slice to add a little "local color" to the process..its what u see here on hollywood blvd...was eating it , minding my own business, when some dude comes up to me & says "Dang, where did you get that ?" I knew instantly he was not being sincere & immediately started to move position..& then he added, "Its tiny" ...for some reason he wanted to insult me or make me feel bad..been here in hollywood & L.A. to know how things work but there are the never-ending list of locals who still want to try to mistreat & insult me as if I just got off the bus from the midwest...now its 11:10 am and the star ceremony still has not begun..strange..b/c the reese witherspoon ceremony was very timely ...
12/6/10 ..he's the guy from "The Daily Habit" over @ Fox Studio on 12/1/10 (after the reese witherspoon star ceremony) who I distrusted when he claimed "security" wasn't allowing me in (with no reason)...I thought he was lying..but now I'm inclined to think he was telling the truth..& that it was the black security lady working alone who didn't like me, simply prejudice ...it seems to fit with my feeling around town (L.A.) that "reverse discrimination" is on the rise..(his name tag said "Layne" btw) ...& I just happened to run into him b/c had a ticket for "Skating with the Stars" @ CBS today (12/6/10) for 3:30pm but couldn't make it until 4..& so he turned me away again (this time legitimately, I think) ...these studios have to maintain a strict cut-off time & not play favorites, which I accept ..but on 12/1 I was fifteen minutes early & had all the credentials (ticket + I.D.)

Frazier smith "times r tough...even motel 6 isn't leaving the light on anymore ..see a white man with a leaf blower ...
Like the principal in ferris buehllers day off (jeffrey duncan jones)...or the bad cop in bev hills cop ...
...that gregory peck is partly armenian...
Guy named eddie did crowd control ... somebody said "he's an actor, I've seen him somewhere.." but he said he wasn't . Guy from Czech next to me ..funny guy, said he's a security guard, ...was very happy to get a free sleeping bag ... mentioned he had brother & sister & mom here...knew a lot of people ..incl. "dolly" who he said has a "big house in the valley" & whose daughter works @ house of blues ...she started talking to me..about movies, showed me a brochure re a movie up for "best foreign film" @ academy ...looked like a weird film ...like brokeback mountain ..she made some racist comments abt black people & chicken ..actually, in her defense, she was trying to criticize the stereotype but it came off sounding racist herself (its not something to try to intellectually analyze in a crowd of people..I could tell a black lady nearby had partially heard something & didn't like it)...dolly also mentioned family in banning who she didn't like .
The other lady mentioned that she didn't like george lopez anymore b/c he apparently had an affair with another lady even after his wife donated one of her own kidneys to him (what a jerk, if true)...I hadn't heard about that (I guess george is divorced now)...they said george did the laugh factory show last year on thanksgiving..
..also paul rodriguez was in line (actually came out & took a smoke break by the line, then went back inside..I didn't know he was a "somebody" until a person said "that's paul rodriguez"(who? I don't follow the comedy circuit)...a comedian who apparently is paying for much of the free thanksgiving at laugh factory, but he didn't come up on stage ..
More notes re tonight show
The thing he did at the americana in glendale was kind of funny
Heard Jay say "God" (God bless u when 2 air force people, a married couple, asked for a photo with him)
Re when did we start calling our genitals "junk", used to be "family jewels."
11/25/10 RECAP of TONIGHT SHOW, THANKSGIVING DAY (tonight show blog):
... in line..african-american guy wearing tomlinson jersey behind me at jay leno..staff : one guy from hastings MN (good guy), another from SD, another also from MN ..mm: "make your last call to loved ones.." ha .. I said to TomlinsonI "Does anybody speak english here". Tomlinson said "to each his own/...good cultural diversity"..I wasn't mocking it..just commenting ..adding, "I'm used to hearing spanish, but this sounds like czech, polish, hindi...etc". .. just my luck I had one of those types next to me who thinks EVERY SINGLE THING that happens on the show is absolutely HILARIOUS. He's hooting & hollering in my ear ...non-stop..he's the one u will hear yell, "WE LOVE ELIZABETH!" When she comes on... Its the guy w/ the tommlinson jersey ..anyways, apart from that ..monologue was fairly good..jokes about how much americans eat ..some tsa jokes of course..this one was funny..of the macys parade showing a giant inflatable tsa dude feeling up one of the macys inflatables ..then elizabeth came on ..she talked abt her husband ..leno kept asking abt her husband too ...she talked abt "the ledge" & showed a clip from it..she actuallu was on a high ledge in nyc ..for the filming of it ...she plays a prisoner in another movie w/ russel crowe ...then marjorie johnson, a chef from minnesota ...she talked a lot . Jay asked her if her husband has ever said anything since "I do' at the wedding..she said he says "yes dear" ha ha *they've been married 64 years ! Finally carrottop came on with a bunch of gag props ...including one of the new bush book which he made the nose grow (I.e. pinocchio)...also a shopping bag wiith a boxing glove for women on black Friday ...and. bunch of others..fairly humorous..pretty good stuff ...first time I've seen carrot top ...oh, the show starts tge same way every time ..with videos of musicians incl justin bieber..adam lambert (no thanks)..& a few others ...& the skinny african-american warmup guy ...he changed his imitation of a receiver being tackled to a parachutist who just realized in mid-air he grabbed his backpack instead of his parachute ..kind of good.hope he keeps coming up with new ones..the downside of the leno show are the STARING poker-faced security guards *(& a few burbank police) during commercial breaks ..also being next to a total moron..(dude, u don't HAVE to laugh at hi-volume at EVERY single thing..take a breath, calm down, use your brain,)

Studio 23
11/19/10 One of the more cheap studios..last time @ gary unmarried pb&j sandwiches..this time cheese pizza, not even pepperoni...staff & security is decent..even good, except for one jerk who tried to bark orderd @ us as we were leaving to "keep it moving..."..pretty beliggerent considering we had just sat in the studio for almost 6 hours...watching the takes & re-takes of "better with you".....considering you couldn't even pay a lot of people to sit in a studio for 6 hours without a break to laugh & applaud respectfully...but yet we would do it for nothing..only to be barked at as we leave...& after only a slice of cheese pizza and a 6 ounce bottle of water ? Get outta here !

11/16/10
...should be on. TV IN A FEW HOURS ..second time I've seen harrison ford on a talk show..first time was on jimmy kimmel ...& both times he seemed VERY NERVOUS ...he kept rubbing the arms of the chair he was sitting in ...& then rubbing his legs ..long pause before answering conan ...very strange (again)...he also said he didn't recognize conan when he bumped into him at an even where both their kids apparently attend school..they talked about flying planes..(harrison is a pilot) & they showed a clip of conan's blimp ...talk about stressed, conan's face ALWAYS looks stressed even when he's smiling...& harrison said his character in his new movie is an "ass" ...conan told harrison he has an intimidating glare ..so harrison tried to smile a little bit more ...then came actress rosario dawson for her new movie...she said she was not attractive in high school ...she's on the cover of GQ magazine in germany ...then reggie watts did a part comedy routine & part musical performance ...& that was it..conan has some of the same members of the band back...including the long-holding note trumpet player ..jimmy pardo does a short warmup ..& andy richter does his thing..I even recognized the same ticket girl ..(maybe it's conan's wife, ha ) ...& its a long walk from parking to the studio .past many, many stages @ warner bros. in Burbank, including the george lopez & big bang stage also "the whole truth" among others ...nice thing is that its efficient ..staff are pretty good
Also @ mike & molly ...he asked people what laws they would repeal...people were. Becoming absurd...drink & drive ...pee in public ...seatbelt ..lower drinking age..
