My first "sightings"

Well i keep being asked if i've seen any Celebrities yet since being in LA. Well i keep having a lot of close calls... like they had just been there, or they would be there later.. or thats so-and-so's office/house... but as far as i know i have never laid eyes on a real celebrity since being here...

EXCEPT FOR TONIGHT!!

So i guess you just have to go where the stars are to see them, right? So i got tickets to Jimmy Kimmel Live. It is filmed in Hollywood, and the tickets were free, so why the heck not, right?

So i got to see Jimmy Kimmel, Cousin Cal, Uncle Frank (the security guard), and Guillarmo (the other security guard). For those of you who have seen the show you know who i'm talking about. And YES... Uncle Frank really is that dumb. He spent half the show tonight trying to set a clock back an hour. It didnt seem like an act or anything!

Well the other Celebs on the show tonight were Dr. Phil... who is a lot taller in real life... that guy must be like 6'4" and his head is definitly skinner then on TV as well.

The second celeb was Jordana Brewster.. yup never heard of her either, but she was in Fast and the Furious, some horror movie, and now is a regular on the TV show Chuck on NBC.

and the musical guest..."Eagles of Death Metal".. never heard of them.

Anyway, it was suprisingly quick. Like the title says its "LIVE", that means one take.. just whizzed right through the thing.. very impressive. After all the interviews they took the audience outside to the band stage where a whole bunch of other people had been waiting just to see the musical guest (free concert.. cant beat it). So the band played like 4 songs and we all went home...

so the whole thing.. start to finish.. 2 hours and 15 min. BAM done... very impressive...

Maybe i should be a talk show host.. what is that 11 hours and 15 mins of work a week?? not to shabby!!

But it was a good time and i had my first celebrity sightings since moving here!
