On the Red Carpet with Michael C. Hall


For the third year now I have had the opportunity to be on the Red Carpet for the Newport Beach Film Festival. This year's opening film, EAST FIFTH BLISS, directed and produced by Michael Knowles (who I interviewed), starred Peter Fonda and Michael C. Hall. While at the festival, I called the Balboa Bay Club & Resort home. It's an amazing property right on the water in Newport Beach. A few films I saw that are of note include: FORT MCCOY, SILVER TONGUES, and NIGHT CLUB.

The Racing Chef

For the third year now I have been down in the pits at this world-famous race! This year was no exception as I rubbed shoulders with Danica and Dario, and even chatted up racing legend Bobby Rahal, who was in the pits helping his son, Graham. Then I got up close up with the Grand Marshall for this year’s event—Chef Gordon Ramsey! I had the opportunity to attended Chef’s press conference and got some inside scoop on Hell’s Kitchen and also a food few tips from Chef Gordon. Now when I'm in the Dining Room of Hell's Kitchen on May 31 for the taping of Episode 4, Season 10--I'll be prepared!
