Mariah Carey’s Los Angeles Getaway
Mariah Carey has been spending time in Los Angeles, as she landed in the City of Angels on a private jet late Sunday night.
Keeping things first class, the Say Somethin singer drove around in a Bentley, busily shopping in Beverly Hills, followed up with a trip to high-end restaurant Ago on Monday evening.
Carey, who just launched a new perfume in September, is building towards the release of a new studio album - and looks to be employing a clever marketing scheme.
An insider tells, “(Carey) is stepping into a creative new direction by releasing her next single as a keyring. The dangly pink heart will be attached to a USB port that fans can then pop into their computer and play the tune.”
DKNY Draws Ali Larter, Rashida Jones
DKNY Draws Ali Larter, Rashida Jones
Wednesday night, Donna Karan New York hosted a Midtown Manhattan bash to celebrate the release of their new fragrance “DKNY Delicious Night.” And Ali Larter and Rashida Jones were among the Hollywood A-listers glamming it up.
With a glass of champagne in hand, the Heroes hottie gushed about her love of the Big Apple. “I’m so excited to be here in the city. I’m here with my girlfriends, and we’re going to have an amazing night. We’re going to have a great dinner at the Waverly (Inn) and drink champagne until dawn.”
When asked about her ideal NYC adventure, she replied, “The exact one I’m describing. That’s what we do. It’s not about dancing in nightclubs. It’s about having a great bottle of wine and great conversation. It’s a sexy city, and I’m excited to be here.”
Of her favorite activity in which to partake, Rashida Jones (currently working on both the Office and Unhitched) said, “Just walk around and make decisions as I’m walking of what to do. You can’t do that in L.A. People stare at you like you’re crazy. People don’t really walk. You sit on your (bottom) in the car all day long. It’s insane.”
Both Larter and Jones may be sitting on their collective bottom for awhile, along with the rest of those affected by the writer’s strike in the entertainment industry.
Ali told press, “It’s a very precarious time in Los Angeles. We can only shoot for a couple more days. It’s affected everyone, from our writers to our production assistants to craft service. You have to stand up for what you believe in, but the repercussions are — it’s just a difficult time for everyone.”
And Jones, whose new show doesn’t start filming until 2008, said that it’s tragic, even though it hasn’t put her out yet. “It’s affected so many of my friends. It’s only a couple of days in, and it’s a bummer. These people work so hard, and they’re the glue of the industry. They’re the reason the industry ticks, and to not give them the modicum of respect they deserve — it bums me out. I hope everyone comes to their senses.”
Neve Campbell’s “Secret” Wedding Plans
Neve Campbell’s “Secret” Wedding Plans
Neve Campbell is reportedly set to marry her British boyfriend in a secret ceremony on Saturday (May 5).
The former ‘Party of Five’ star is tying the knot with boyfriend John Light of the Royal Shakespeare Company. The two are allegedly preparing to say their vows at an undisclosed Malibu location over the weekend, according to the New York Post.
Page Six reports note, “Close family and friends have been instructed to stay mum as to the location and time.”
The 33-year-old actress, who moved to London to live with Light two years ago, decided to have the intimate ceremony in L.A. - where she’s shooting episodes of ‘Medium.’
And while L.A. is fine for a wedding, the Canadian-born actress has admitted she prefers working and living in Britain because she thinks the script-writers are more talented.
She recently told Life Style: “The writers are more talented in the UK. People don’t just pick up a pen and say, ‘I’m going to write a screenplay,’ which happens all the time in Los Angeles. British writers have some background in literature before they decide to come up with a story.”
After those comments, ‘Medium’ may be the last work that Neve does Stateside!
