The 2016 Critics Choice Awards Winners — Miles of Smiles
After a year of raking celebrities over the coals, it always surprises me that the stars show up for the Critics Choice Awards, which for the first time, combined the best of both film and television, as voted for by the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA). I’m a voting member of…
Camille Grammer Estate Sale — An Intimate Look at a Life of Luxury
There’s something vaguely creepy about inviting people to paw through piles of your underwear, even if the Dior and La Perla price tags are still attached. Yet there I was, feeling a little bit dirty for lingering over the lingerie, at the Camille Grammer estate sale, held over the weekend at the house she just…
Mad Max Fury Road Races to Top of Critics Choice Awards Nominations
I hate to say I told you so, but does anyone else remember little old me saying how blown away I was by “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and declaring that we had the year’s first Academy Awards contender? Well here we are a couple of months away, and all the critics groups are showering the…

AMERICAN HORROR STORY Lady Gaga is to Die For: Visit Her Hotel
On paper, the Hotel Cortez looks like a killer deal. The photos show a super-swank Art Deco lobby with custom carpets and furniture, outrageous elevator gates and leaded windows. The bar makes you want to sidle up in a pencil skirt and order a Manhattan. If the rooms and hallways are a bit threadbare and…
DARK PLACES Review — Charlize Theron Meets Gillian Flynn
By Staci Layne Wilson @StaciWilson I have a major girl crush on author Gillian Flynn. She’s only written three novels, but I’ve read them all twice and can. not. wait. for her fourth! She’s a genius at combining the beloved beach-read with the classic winter’s night thriller. Her first book, Gone Girl, was made into…
Only in Hollywood: Catbaret Feline Fundraiser
With apologies to At Home In Hollywood Hound Frankie Feldman, L.A. has not only gone to the dogs, it’s gone to the cats as well — at least for one night, as stars like Amy Schumer, Fred Willard, Wendi Mclendon-Covey, Nia Peeples, Nicole Sullivan and Keith David lent their support to the Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats at the annual…
Barry Weiss, the Bubble Car and Me at Auctions America
I admit that I’m not really a car girl. When I tour celebrity homes, I’m usually more interested in the decor style of the garages than in the cars they house. But all that changed last weekend, when my hubby and I attended Auctions America’s California Auto Sale at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica. I originally went to see our buddy…
