good evening! actress cameron diaz was honored in hollywood today - she received the 2,386th star along hollywood blvd's walk of fame (her vanilla sky co-star tom cruise along with wife katie holmes were in attendance) i don't mind ms. diaz at all but in all honesty - i didn't really want to write a post about her (or her upcoming movie my sister's keeper which looks like a total drag) i'm simply using this latest star ceremony as another opportunity to vent about my beloved bea arthur still not having her own star! now that she recently passed away - girlfriend has to wait five years for a posthumous nomination - which is totally insane to me - ms. arthur was an award-winning star of stage and screen - who sincerely deserves the honor - unlike some people who already have their star like mary-kate and ashley olsen or ryan seacrest - shame on whoever makes these decisions! maybe they'll make an exception - five years seems like an awfully long time to wait to honor someone supremely talented like ms. arthur - who was true class act! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

good evening! oh my word - it was beyond difficult to get back into the swing of things today after a truly amazing & relaxing vacation down in maui (right now i'm trying to organize all the pictures...stay tuned) i was a bit tired at work (after getting in at 1am - i finally slept around 3am) but i picked up right where i left off - plus it was good to see all of my work friends! anyways right now i've got actress glenn close who received the 2,378th star earlier today on hollywood blvd's walk of fame - i was actually pretty shocked to find out she didn't already have one! after all ms. close is an award-winning actress/singer of stage & screen (working in the business for 30+ years) and has been in a ton of great films ( jagged edge, fatal attraction, dangerous liasons, reversal of fortune, and paradise road - to name just a few!) and i'm totally enjoying her in the second season of damages which is like the best show on television right now - it's that good! speaking of TV...oh my word - can you believe the 8th season of american idol kicks off tomorrow night?!? i'm quite excited although i'm not sure how extra judge kara dioguardi will fit in (she is an amazing singer & songwriter - that's a plus) i just hope the chemistry isn't altered too much! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo

good evening! today actress cate blanchett finally received a star on hollywood's walk of fame (#2,376) i'm super surprised she didn't already have one - she is an academy award winner after all for her work in the aviator (it still shocks me that mary-kate & ashley olsen have a star on hollywood blvd) when i left for work this morning i saw the set-up for the ceremony but i couldn't get down there to take my own pictures but the ones below are quite nice - she's gorgeous and so damn talented! (although i don't know about her choice of outfit today...) these things are always timed around a new release - she's starring alongside brad pitt in the curious case of benjamin button which i MUST go see - it looks amazing! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo

good evening everybody! normally i get to catch most of the ceremonies along hollywood blvd when a new celebrity star is revealed but unfortunately this morning i missed one of my favorite actresses - ms. holly hunter being bestowed with the 2,363rd star along 'the walk of fame' - i was completely shocked to find out she didn't already have one - let's not forget ms. hunter is an academy award winner (for her amazing work in 1993's the piano) plus she's a two-time emmy winner! steven spielberg, kate capshaw, ed harris, and billie jean king were on hand today to help holly celebrate the honor! at age 50 she still looks way fabulous - ms. hunter has always been a little offbeat and kooky but that's what i love about her! i hope y'all are enjoying your friday night - right now i'm just chilling out which is exactly what i needed to do! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

hey hey! here are a few pictures i just snapped of sean 'diddy' combs getting the 2,362nd star along hollywood blvd's infamous walk of fame (it was massively crowded down there and people were waving balloons and signs like crazy people - plus it's pretty hot outside so i didn't stay for long) he's actually the first male rap artist to be honored with a star - i'm not overly crazy about mr. combs but he doesn't really bother me either - gosh remember when he was with jennifer lopez (who could forget that sexy green versace dress she wore to the grammys back in 2000 while on his arm) it seems like ages ago - oh my word time totally flies - in fact it's already time for me to eat some lunch! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
hey hey! check out a few pictures i just snapped moments ago of actress angela bassett getting the 2,358th star along hollywood blvd's walk of fame! i love ms. bassett - especially in her golden globe winning and oscar nominated performance as legendary tina turner in what's love got to do with it? on hand to help ms. bassett celebrate today were laurence fishburne, forest whitaker and rick fox (who stars in the new movie meet the browns along w/ ms. bassett) she was glowing - and so beautiful in person - forest's speech was so touching it had angela in tears - he's an excellent speaker (then mr. fox had to speak and it paled in comparison...) enjoy the pics below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey hey! oh my gosh - this is the sweetest thing i have seen all day - seven of the remaining munchkins from the 1939 classic & much beloved film the wizard of oz were honored with a star along hollywood blvd's 'walk of fame' - they were escorted in on a carriage being drawn by 'a horse of a different color'! (only 9 out of 124 are still alive today) of course they are all quite old as you can tell by the pics i snapped posted below - yet it's so great they were able to get out and be honored by hollywood today - they must have felt special and deservedly so! (plus they got the star in front of grauman's chinese theatre where the movie originally premiered 68 years ago!) of course 'the wizard of oz' is one of my favorite movies of all-time - they certainly don't make movies like that anymore! (i'm sure the munchkins know that too!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! PS i just got back home for lunch and as i was waiting on the corner of hollywood & highland to cross the street - i looked over and there was debra messing and her hubby daniel zelman - she looked great - it just caught me off guard since out of a fairly big crowd of people waiting - i seemed to be the only one to notice her - i guess she was there for the festivities! (actually it turns out she was there for a huge writers' strike march - which i'll be posting pictures of later - there's a lot of people down there right now!)
hey hey! i just snapped a few pictures of legendary 'bond' man sir roger moore getting the 2,350th star along hollywood blvd's walk of fame - just three days before his 80th birthday! yes he's looking old but not bad for being eighty! he starred in seven james bond flicks between 1973 & 1985 - and although some won't agree with me - he is actually my favorite out of all the other 'bond' men - i love his campy turns as agent 007 in films such as a view to a kill, octupussy and moonraker! at today's ceremony he was joined by his wife kiki tholstrup - and famous friends ruta lee & stefanie powers - he's another example of someone who should have had their star on the blvd long before the olsen twins, britney spears, or ryan seacrest! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
