It’s good news! I’m a draft pick…Sharon Waxman’s (NY Times, Washington Post) Hollywood news outlet TheWRAP.com has tapped me to temporarily step in and take over the popular “Hollywood Party Report” column. (Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz funds the venture, and thus I’ll be making “starbucks money“.)

For non-compete, I will be suspending party coverage here immediately. Please check me out at TheWRAP publishing on Mondays.

Was lucky (appropriate?) to attend the Michael Jackson Memorial inside Staples Center in Los Angeles yesterday. (Tuesday 7 July).

E! Personality Marc Malkin told me on site: "This is more media than the Oscars"

Rev. Jesse Jackson - 1st celeb to hit the press platforms at 8AM.

A friend outside Staples: Of the 10,000 or so loiterers without tickets, more than half were selling just selling stuff.

Melissa Rappaport and I were not the only ones to take photos in front of screens throughout the complex - cycling images from all decades.

Emotional Final Moment of the service when the Jackson family spoke.

Took only 6 minutes end to end to pick up my winning tickets at Dodger Stadium to the Michael Jackson Memorial Service tomorrow (Tues 7 July).  Organized! Easy! Never had to get out of the car.

"Do Not Mutilate, Stretch, or Remove this Wristband". The guest wristband is just handed to you.

After waving your voucher at 2 lines of police on the restricted approach to Dodger Stadium, the toll booth scans your pass, marks it with a big black X, and directs you to rental car return style coned lanes in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium.

There was no reason given why I got 2 in Staples Center instead of the overflow Nokia Theatre.

Khloe Kardashian (E! Show ‘08, Celeb Apprentice ‘09) and Duet PR hosted cocktails and fashion for an NYC crowd with a 3:1 girl to guy ratio at Fred Segal-alike boutique Live! on Sunset on Tuesday (30 June).

Khloe Kardashian proclaimed herself long time fans of twins Kym & Alexis McClay (Naven) and Debbie and Rebecca Moradzaden (Boulee).

Breaking: Hosts Nicky & Suzie DeFosset (Michigan '03) are featured in the upcoming Bruno movie. (July 10) Yup, the blonde twins a're going to be famous in 7 days.

Not everyone came camera ready. But everyone ate Chin Chin, enjoyed mini bottle of champagne, and drank the bar dry. (They had to run out for more vodka.)
