Eggs BEnedict Archives

Before we get to all Friday Favorites listed below, let me remind you that this past Sunday, in Pasadena, I attended one of my FAVORITE events all year, MASTERS OF TASTE. I pinned a great little Insta-story about it to my Hollywood Brunch feed you should go check out.

WHAT I READ

Chris Evans wants to sing on Broadway and I am here for it.
Uh….. Patti LaBelle is launching her own line of… FROZEN CHINESE FOOD?
This Indiana school district turns unused cafeteria food into take-home meals for kids who need. So wonderful.
Also wonderful — the Mormon church will now allow gay parents to baptize their children and it will also stop calling same-sex couples “apostates.”

OTHER BLOGGERS & INFLUENCERS

I am all about this recipe for an Eggs Benedict Casserole. Who’ll come over and be my taste-tester?

I would also like to try this carrot cake recipe.
Did you catch this thread that went viral on Twitter? I’m SO OBSESSED. This gal is doing the lord’s work, IMO.

EARLIER THIS MONTH

A client of mine, Casey McQuillen, premiered her new music video on EXTRA! She’s so wonderful and so talented. Please take a look.
Another client I am working with, Nick Howard, was on a local morning show here in Los Angeles and he is a GORGEOUS singer. And the anchor’s reaction to his performance is pretty great.

I just attended the Digital Summit in LA. For the snark on that, check out my personal Instagram where there’s a Story pinned to my profile.
I reviewed my new Jord watch and launched a related giveaway!

PR & SOCIAL MEDIA

Social Media Club LA has an awesome podcast panel coming up on April 23! Join us.
Speaking of podcasting, expert Kelly Glover, gave a great interview on the space and how to convert listeners to MONEY.
Unless you live underground, you probably heard about Disney’s new streaming platform. Frankly, this looks awesome and I am excited as all get-out for it.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

I find the Queer Eye “Fab 5” so god damned delightful.

I’m enjoying a lot of things in this “episode” of Friday Favorites. Also, it is beautiful outside here in Los Angeles and I can’t wait to venture out of my apartment an enjoy it. What will you be doing to make the most of the weekend?

WHAT I READ

I finished Hillary Clinton’s book, What Happened, and I hate to tell you that I wasn’t that enamored with it. We all know how the election turned out so every page of the book felt like salt in an ever-expanding wound. The other issue is that, quite frankly, the book is written very stoically. Perhaps with the exact lack of warmth and emotion Clinton’s opponents often accuser her of. I also felt that much of the book was, accidentally, too self-aggrandizing, without taking the accountability she should have at certain points. I don’t know how else to explain. It just wasn’t what I needed.
I also read, believe it or not, some Snagglepuss comics (“The Snagglepuss Chronicles”) from Hanna Barbera that were SUPER enjoyable. Would you believe they’re about LGBT rights in the McCarthyism era? Shockingly profound.

I’ve been reading a lot about Chef Ludo’s new digs opening up here in the valley. It looks beautiful and I can’t wait to try it!!!
Guys, how do I add representing internet pet celebs to my business capabilities? I want to work with puppies like this genius agency.
GREAT article from NPR on the importance of independent book stores. And another one from Grok Nation.

My friends have a really funny podcast called “So is HE Captain America?” that you should give a listen. Click here for their episodes that break down super hero movies for the ignorant.
And speaking of podcasts, Media Mandy has some show suggestions for you, too.
The Takeout put a spotlight on an eggs benedict, tomato soup and grilled cheese combo that – I’m not gonna lie – I would totally eat. Would you?

EARLIER THIS WEEK

A film I am working on, Wanderland, got a great review from The Village Voice!
I will never shut-up about this. Facebook DOES offer a TON of custom privacy settings. You just have to get up the courage to use them! I wrote a great little piece to help you.
Rob Lowe was hanging out with Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney. I don’t know why, but I find this highly enjoyable. And not just because it’s the most handsome photo ever. Dylan and Dermot are notoriously oft confused for one another.

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT

Did you like the movie John Wick? I did and I am TOTALLY excited for Hotel Artemis.

Obviously Dave Grohl is awesome. And he continues to excel at being awesome by introducing us to “Kiss Guy.”

If you haven’t caught it yet on social media, let me also share with you the incredible Prince track of “Nothing Compares 2 U” from 1984, just released:
