No, Vanity Fair isn't starting early on its legendary Hollywood Issue cover shoots this year.

It's 13 single Angelenos spending a summer's eve do-gooding for that one married couple with kids that I've heard exists in Hollywood. A 100,000 diaper donation to Caroline Kunitz's (UCLA '95, LA Diaper Drive 'current) charity got handled by this expert team of Home Depot parking lot alumni.

From P.A. to TV Star - 2 True Hollywood Stories

Two former casting PA's, who sweat away 6 months of their prime "I just graduated college" era in LA jockeying a dub rack and fiddling with databases have traveled the circumference of the karmic circle. After making idiot people famous on reality TV, they have hit the airwaves themselves.

Sam Friedlander (Vanderbilt '00, Fear Factor PA '01, USC Film School '03) has made it to the final 9 of the 'Steve' Spielberg/Mark Burnett FOX reality show "On the Lot". The ratings "are in the toilet", so Sam is the only thing keeping it on the air.



Sam's genius 1 minute film, "Replication Theory" got rave reviews from Brett Ratner and Spielberg himself. A clever 60 second laugh awaits here. Please "Vote Sam" when the show airs on Tuesday nights at 8PM/7c.

Meanwhile Ryan Muldowney (Jefferson H.S. PA '01, Slippery Rock Univ. '05), Deal or No Deal Spanish PA '06) was re-discovered by Tyra Banks (Fat 'Dec 06, Skinny 'Summer '07). After catching the eye of a few NBC execs with his college talk-show Gettin' Later, Muldo first moved out to LA to PA on the spanish language version of Deal or No Deal.

Tyra handpicked Ryan as "the archetypal guy" who could take a cute young lesbian on her first ever coed date and convert her to men. Tyra called it "Dating outside your comfort zone." We called it "Tongue Action". See for yourself.

Congrats to both Sam and Ryan for bringing honor and accolade to reality casting departments everywhere - the real fame factories in Hollywood.

Is A Barack Obama / Paris Hilton Ticket In The Works?

Live on Scene: TheCHIMP.net Escorting Paris to Jail

Since we live in the same neighborhood as Paris Hilton, and as a graduate of the LA Sheriff's Dept. Citizen Police Academy, I wanted to make sure that all procedures were followed appropriately in returning Paris to custody this morning

Also the two most important issues facing our country were married together on one sign "Obama Hilton '08"Kathy Hilton ('Failed Reality Star '05) exited the house first with husband Rick. She said "We just found out about this that we had to go...we are very distraught". She got in to the same black Escalade that Paris got dropped off to jail in on Sunday night (3 June).The Black and White Beyonce Sign is the back of "Obama/Hilton '08". The LAPD had to be called in to control the media even though this is not their jurisdiction.
As Paris was driven away, she gave an "over the shoulder" shot out the back tinted green glass of the squad car to the photogs. This is no bullshit.

The crowd crushed the cruiser...and this douchebag reporter from NBC 4 got run over on his foot... his microphone ripped off the cord. He is holding a "replacement" microphone.


Thanks to Photographer Matt Kunitz (USC '90 'Network Producer '06, Paparazzo '07).

UPDATE: My interview on ABC 7 Los Angeles, just aired. Video coming soon.

Pomeranian Prince Dillon 2004-2007

We are very sad to report the passing of Los Angeles' most popular jewish dog, Dillon (Co-Star of TV show "The Delivery" '07). After a sudden and serious kidney illness, Dillon passed away Friday morning (1 June). He is survived by his mother, Melissa Rappaport, currently sitting shiva.
For anyone you know considering a new pet, please do not ever consider a trip to Petco or a breeder. As a tactless campaigner woman lurking in the doggie ICU waiting room told us, "90,000 animals are destroyed every year in LA county alone" because they cant be rescued.

The American Kennel Club is a great resource: All breeds can be rescued in almost every state in the U.S. Visit here for a comprehensive list.

Everyone loved Dillon, who converted this former animal averter, and he will be missed.
