Fashion Fling – "The Boy Next Door" and a Slave to the Stiletto
By Staci Layne Wilson Even though nobody’s ever really wearing anything significant in the new J-Lo hot-n-heavy stalkerific thriller The Boy Next Door, there was indeed a costume designer. Her name is Courtney Hoffman. Since I am a slave to the stiletto, the scene that immediately had my full attention was when Claire’s (Jennifer Lopez)…
2015 Critics Choice Awards are Better Than Ever!
This year A&E is broadcasting the Critics Choice Awards, and they are going all out–they hired Michael Strahan as the host, all the stars and filmmakers will be there front and center, and I’ll be right their in the middle of them, seated snuggly at a table with Lana Del Rey (YES!). “What are the Critics…
Dennis Miller Asks $22.5 Million For His Beautiful Beach House in Carpinteria
If it were in Malibu, maybe, but we think comedian/talk show host Dennis Miller is shooting a little high by listing his Carpinteria beach house for a whopping $22.5 million.

Celebrity House Hunters: New Home for New Family
When it comes to mixing work with play, about the only thing I like better than watching House Hunters on HGTV is hanging out with real life house hunters attempting to find their dream home. And since this is Los Angeles, many of the house hunters I’m involved with are of the upscale, celebrity variety. Yes, it’s true, most…

The Interview Review
Heaven help me, I’ll probably get hacked and attacked by terrorists for writing a positive review, but I found The Interview absolutely hysterical, and I would have given it my vote for best comedy of the year had Sony not pulled it from theaters.
