POPBYTES & NEIGHBORHOODIES - THINK-UP!
Tuesday November 25 2008 @ 7:11AM
COMMENTS (2) | PERMALINK | TAGS

good morning! as you may have noticed - for the past two weeks i've been working with the gang from neighborhoodies who asked me to take part in their 'think-ups' program - i got to come up with a bunch of t-shirt / hoodie ideas - plus i was able to pick a charity of my choice to donate a portion of the proceeds - everyone knows i love animals so i had to go with PETA (we even co-branded shirt #9 which states 'mean people wear fur' - a totally true statement) i was quite pleased with how they all came out in the end - since we had a nice groove going - my stint lasted an extra week! check out all the concepts below (each of the pics clicks through to more information) i know i'll soon be wearing some - i'd seriously love to see other people rocking 'em too! a huge thanks goes out to cameron who made this all possible (along with everyone else at neighborhoodies - you guys all rock) popbytes over & out for now...xoxo




I DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT!

good evening! i wanted to bring your attention to a little side project i've been working on with the good folks from neighborhoodies - they asked me to take part in their think-ups program where each week a different blogger, tastemaker, or overall cool person gets to come up with five t-shirt designs (or hoodies if you prefer) thankfully i happen to be in great company with such other 'think-up' sites as fourfour, urlesque, idolator, and stereogum! today's design was a nod to my dear valerie cherish who i still miss on like a daily basis (i couldn't even bear to watch lisa kudrow's new web therapy show - it was like watching ms. cherish but not really - it made me sad - i still say 'give her another take!') each day this week a new design will be unveiled - i can't wait to see the rest of 'em! (some proceeds from sales of popbytes' shirts/hoodies will be donated to the organization of my choice PETA) keep your eye on the top right side of the site all this week! (many thanks go out to mr. cameron for all of his help) below there's pictures of a fairly freaky la toya jackson who was out & about shopping in beverly hills while shooting her new reality show - definitely an example of something that makes me scream 'i don't need to see that!' popbytes over & out for now...xoxo

HOLLYWOOD STANDS UP TO CANCER
Saturday September 6 2008 @ 8:09PM
COMMENTS (2) | PERMALINK | TAGS

good evening! i've been all over los angeles today getting ready to deal with MTV's video music awards '08 (the show's 25th anniversary - that fact makes me feel old!) which take place tomorrow not too far from my place over at hollywood's paramount studios (i already heard parking is a bit of a nightmare so i'm leaving extra early and carpooling with fellow blogger zack taylor of hot or not gossip) i finally settled on an outfit after much debate (to match my new neon orange nails) that i'm happy with (a mixture of diesel and energie) i seriously need to dress light since i know it's going to probably be hot as hell (and yes mom, i'm bringing some sunscreen...) make sure to check out popbytes tomorrow - i will be twittering all day long and hopefully i'll have some hot pictures along with video to share!

there's major events happening all over town this weekend...just last night over at the kodak theatre a bunch of celebrities got together to partake in a star-studded telethon to benefit an important organization stand up to cancer that aired on all three networks (i posted about the amazing diva musical performance last night) i was supposed to cover the event but i couldn't afford another vacation day (check-in time for press was too early) but thankfully my good friend tara was on the scene - make sure to check out her post!

last but not least...it's exactly five years ago today when i wrote up my first post here on popbytes (although my early entries are on the weak side) but once i picked up the pace it has been non-stop since then (i haven't missed one single day of posting in probably over 3 years now - thanks to inspiring words from my pal CK who told me i need to write everyday) right now i'm trying to think of some cool anniversary post celebrating five years of blogging...stay tuned! popbytes over & out for tonight - many thanks goes out to everyone who reads my blog and all the people along the way who have been so very kind & helpful to me (you all know who you are) xoxo

good evening! as promised here's some of the pictures i managed to snap at yesterday's teen choice awards blue carpet arrivals along with a short video i edited together from some of the footage i shot that includes quick moments with lauren conrad,natasha bedingfield (who gave popbytes a shout out), and lil' mama (along with clips of summer glau, chad michael murry, selena gomez, jonas brothers, chris brown, david archuleta, jerry o'connell, hayden panettiere, and mary murphy) just a small sample of what went down! it was completely packed in my area and then mixed in with the intense sunlight - i got what i could (i'm still learning the ropes of doing red carpet coverage right) plus there's a gazillion other outlets (radio, TV, print, and online) vying for everyone's attention - next time i plan to bring a microphone with me - i was noticing it works quite nicely getting people to stop - i must give shout outs to national lampoon and my pals at hollyscoop who were right next to me and kept everyone entertained and a special hello to my pop comrades aimee & thia from bop & tigerbeat! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo

POPBYTES - NOW WITH MORE PICTURES!
Thursday March 27 2008 @ 8:03PM
COMMENTS (0) | PERMALINK | TAGS

hey kids! i have some exciting news to share with you - i've been considering adding in more pictures here on popbytes for sometime now - and i finally decided to get the site a photo subscription from WENN which has a great selection of current pictures that will give me plenty more to post on plus i know everyone likes eye candy - and besides i probably write too much on some of my posts - so this will be an opportunity to toss up more fun content (helping to keep it fresh) without having to write a novel!

to kick off the good times i decided amy winehouse will be the queen of my first set of photos! earlier today she was visiting her hubby 'blake, incarcerated' who is still sitting in a jail cell (her nasty case of impetigo was covered with a lot of makeup) i still don't have any clue to when he may get sprung from the slammer - does anybody know? he's been there for awhile now! i love how amy got all crafty on us with her homemade heart pinned to her shirt bearing her lover's name (let's pray she's not hiding drugs inside of it!) lordy she's such high drama but i just adore ms. winehouse (and her grammy winning multi-platinum album back to black) i'm hoping she'll manage to keep her shit together and start working on new material...i can't even deal with the thought of a 'tragedy' - that would be awful! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

OH MY WORD - POPBYTES TURNS 4!

good evening! i seriously can't believe that popbytes turned four years old today plus i haven't missed a single day of posting in like three years (thanks to inspiring words from my NYC pal CK) sometimes i really want to just come home and do nothing but lay on the couch & watch TV yet i've so gotten in the habit of trying to find something fun & interesting to post on (which i often stress about but it's all good - i do have a lot of fun running this site!) i will for sure keep it up - i have no intentions to stop blogging anytime soon! as you may have noticed i've added in some new fancy community features to the site - check out community.popbytes.com - and please make sure to sign up so you can add your own stuff to popbytes! please bear with us - it's still a work in progress and we're fine tuning everything to be 100% perfect - i think it'll be fun having those extra features available! (many thanks to popbytes' pals jason & mina for bearing with me and my nit picking!)

anyways to celebrate four years of popbytes - i'm heading down to the roxy to catch beth hart - who i've been dying to see live ever since i fell head over heels for her '99 album screamin' for my supper - it should be a terrific night! i also wanted to thank whoever happens to come here on a regular basis - you guys totally rock and i'll keep on trying to rock things here! popbytes over & out for tonight - much love to all as always...xxoo!

PS ok this is so funny - to me at least - i actually hit four years on sept 6th - i should have looked it up! for some reason i kept thinking it was the 12th - oh well - as you can tell i can be a bit scattered sometimes - oh good times! (i totally had to fess up over this small snafu!)
