hey y’all! oh my gosh – i had the most random celebrity sighting in boston tonight…i was hanging outside the westin copley place with my pal joey (smoking a cigarette – yes shame on me) and i spotted this cute bunch of guys rolling up to the palm restaurant – as they were walking past i noticed the very last hottie happened to be adam levine from maroon 5 looking sexy & adorable as always (with a cute blonde on his arm) it all went by so fast but i managed to shout to him ‘adam we love you’ he turned, smiled and said ‘thanks!’ so when i got back to the room i quickly looked up the band’s schedule and they did play boston earlier this evening – he was so cute in person – it totally made my evening! besides all that – i had a splendid day and the design conference kick-off was great – i’m really looking forward to the next two days! below is the new maroon 5 video for if i never saw your face again featuring rihanna – it’s a hot track! popbytes over & out for tonight…xxoo

who watches days of our lives? i have been a faithful fan for almost 15 years now (on-air over 40 years now!) and over the past few months the show its storylines have really sucked big time – the writers keep rehashing the same damn stories over & over again! we’ve all had our fill of ‘sammi, austin, carrie, & lucas’ – that whole bit right now is the lamest – plus that whole ‘dr. alex north’ plot with ‘marlena’ (deidre hall) was the dumbest – i’m so glad they ended that trainwreck of a story! the only characters i seem to remotely enjoy lately are ‘kate’ and ‘lexie’…oh and ‘bonnie’ who isn’t nearly on enough! (rumors are still floating around that NBC will not renew the ‘days’ contract next year)



so getting to my story i was doing a bit of grocery shopping this afternoon over in studio city (a nice change of pace but it was like a fiery furnace over there – so freakin’ hot!) and i spotted real-life couple arianne zuker and kyle lowder (they married in august 2002 – 4 years and still together in hollywood – that’s great) who played ‘nicole walker’ & ‘brady black’ – characters who picked up and left ‘salem’ a few months back – i had to approach ms. zuker and tell her how much we miss her character and that the soap has steadily gone downhill without our dear ‘nicole’! gosh she was always up to something devilish but she also had a vulnerable side that made fans love her and gave her character a little more depth! (her father forced her as a teenager to do porn while drugged…you all know how those daytime soaps go!)



in real-life she was so kind & sweet – dressed casual & sporty she looked so cute! one of those gals who needs no make-up and still looks gorgeous – her hubby was running around shopping so i didn’t get a chance to say hello to him but he looked so different from his time on ‘days’ – kyle had really long hair (see below right pic) and looked quite sexy – much better than when he played straight-laced ‘brady’! arianne said she’s busy audtioning and joked that the writers didn’t kill her character off…so who knows…i think it would do a soap good to bring this sexy lady on (i’m thinking to switch to another one if ‘days’ doesn’t perk itself up) i was also able to give her a popbytes card which i finally printed up a few days ago…so hello to ms. zuker if you made it here! rock & blog on – popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

ah the perks of working in the heart of hollywood…that is if you can consider catching paula abdul doing a live show on shop-at-home network QVC peddling her line of jewelry a perk…but all joking aside i do love our dear paula and she seemed to be in good healthy friendly spirits! i took these pictures over at the courtyard in the hollywood/highland complex this afternoon where american idol finale preparations are well underway! i also shot a short bit of video which you can watch below…popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

gosh i so enjoy very random sightings in places you might least expect to spot a celeb – so tonight after work i had to head to ralphs grocery store – for some reason who knows why…i wanted to go to the biggest one in the area down on 3rd & labrea – normally i just do ‘rock n roll’ ralphs on sunset but something told me deep down inside i should head down to 3rd…



so i gathered my few small grocery items i needed for tonight (like some red wine…) & i headed to checkout and mind you there were many lines open but somehow i managed to pick a line and i quickly realized i am only one person behind legendary actor & superstar don johnson! oh my goodness! i immediately recognized him – he was in a dark blue suit with sunglasses but there was NO mistaking him – he was with his small blonde haired son – and even apologized to the line when his card wasn’t swiping so well – we were all like – oh that’s ok…



i so wanted to ask him what he thought about the upcoming miami vice movie but the grocery store just isn’t the place to do that sorta thing and i so know how to keep my cool – my camera was in the car but who could bear to whip that out in the store – plus i bet ralphs wouldn’t like it either…anyways it was really fun to spot him – so random – i love it! he did look good – but damn when he was younger he was like the hottest thing ever…just check out the pics below – look at him with a VERY young melanie griffith – oh what a day it has been but overall was very good day – wink wink to a certain special friend…mwahahahaha…popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

hey kids! i am so glad to have made it through today – it was just a really weird day! so tonight i am just bringing on some more random celebrity spottings (of course i had two in a row!) i have been catching quite a few lately! when it rains it pours – so tonight at ‘rock & roll’ ralphs on sunset i first spotted corin nemec (from parker lewis can’t lose) standing on the express lane looking like he had just come from working out – he has that kinda face which you totally recognize but it takes a few minutes to nab his name! he looked hot! so then as i was checking out ron livingston (aka berger from ‘sex & the city’) walked in the door with a buddy – he had dark sunglasses on but i immediately spotted him – he looked great! his hair was dyed a very dark black and his buddy was kinda nerdy…they seemed to be in a mad rush for whatever they had come in for…



so now i am just watching a little TV – the usual suspects like ANTM and of course i will have to see who will leave idol tonight! i thought the whole country set-up last night totally blew chunks – hardcore! and i am big fan of country but they ALL sucked – that’s not popbytes country! i don’t even really have a favorite at this point…and we will soon be down to the final 8! yikes! somebody better step up their ass up to the idol plate very soon – at this point i certainly don’t see any of these people being our next idol…popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

ha! so when you see one celebrity during your day…i have realized you are bound to see two! after finding the cutest shirts down at energie on melrose today – i was coming back up crescent heights (my favorite cut-thru street – hands down!) and i headed back home east on sunset…so i am stopped at a light – look over and see actor jeff goldblum in a black SUV (i think a range rover but i could be wrong though) – it was just so random – i kinda pointed at him and looked in his direction – mr. goldblum totally saw me spotting him and gave a great friendly smile of acknowledgment – gosh he has been in so many movies including my favorite film of all time annie hall – he looked classy & handsome as always!



and yeah even though i know i live in los angeles…blah blah blah…it still trips me out to have random celeb spottings – especially when you’re driving! everybody is driving in LA – so when you notice someone – it’s kinda like a wow coincidence! so after that one i was kinda on the prowl to see another and just before i turned into ‘rock & roll’ ralphs grocery store – i see the cutest boy in the car and i’m like where do i know him from??? then boom i quickly realized it was lost hottie ian somerhalder – gosh why did they have to kill his character off?!? anyways i’m just chillin’ like a villain on a saturday night – hope you all are having fun! popbytes over & out until tomorrow…xxoo!
