Pinky's Fandance - Jennifer Garner

Wasn't I *just* telling you about our successful day? Oh, that's right, I was. Probably the BIGGEST highlight (other than her husband, Ben...oh, crap, I'm getting ahead of myself), was seeing Jennifer Garner for the first time ever. She was SO SO SO SO nice! I adore her. Love her work, love her family, love her personality. Luckiest. Woman. Alive. The fact that she's also nice and sweet to fans was just the icing on the cake!

Sammy & His Namesake

Yesterday was a really good day - not only did I get to spend most of it with my girl Lindsay and her hubby, Bret, but we had a VERY successful day to boot! More details will be shared later (when I'm not about to leave on a jet plane), but suffice it to say that this was one of the highlights: How cute is Sam with Sammy? I'm not sure what was so interesting to Sammy in the far distance, but at least he got a snuggle from the guy he was named after. When Sam first got there, he said, "Pinky, you're crazy!" because he thought I was only there for him. Surprisingly, I actually wasn't. Now, it didn't hurt that his name was on the Host Committee list and there was a good chance he'd show up, but I would've been fine either way. Still, it was super fun to see him and Missy and get a chance to chat. Of course, hugs never hurt either! Great send-off for me! :)

Celebrity Wrap Up - Wednesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Wednesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. I'm confused - how does Willow whip her hair back and forth when she doesn't have any hair? Did it fall out from all the whipping? I shouldn't really be surprised that Becks and Victoria have such a beautiful baby, but wow. She really is stunning. Now Miley wants to star on Flashdance? That's so Miley.
Awwww. That's just cute.
Michelle Williams looks so happy ever since she started dating Jason Segel. She's glowing!

Top Five Postsecrets of the Day

Fun with Friends!

Spent the day with lots of friends at the Hollywood Show today - here's a cute pic with "the girls" - Anushika and Lindsay. Anushika came because she loves the Sound of Music and Lindsay came because she wanted to meet Aileen Quinn. I love how the show has so many different kinds of celebs. Fun times!

Pinky's Fandance - Laverne & Shirley cast

Today was a big day for me - meeting almost the entire cast from Laverne & Shirley! I loved this show sooooo much growing up - I wanted to be Laverne and wear that cool "L" on my shirt - and I wanted to be Shirley so that I could date Carmine. I even tried to drink milk and Pepsi to see what all the fuss was about! It was sooo cool to get a picture with everyone. I was thinking I could do that instead of the pic with both Laverne & Shirley, but then I saw their cute pose and couldn't resist getting both. Plus, the fact that they signed it is completely amazing. Love it!

Why Does He Look So Surprised?

I love Sammy's face here - he's like, "What the hell is this? I seem to be surrounded by mountains of pink!" Was that ever in question, my dear? You really shouldn't be surprised at this point. After all, my life is all pink all the time! :)

Celebrity Wrap Up - Tuesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Taylor Schilling just might be the luckiest girl in the world. Aside from their movie being terribly awful, she did get to lock lips with Zac Efron A LOT. Now THAT is lucky. Exactly how many layers is Hilary wearing? It's hot in LA! She must be roasting...
Do you think they coordinate hats before leaving the house?
Wait a minute. She's not wearing that outfit ironically? She's actually trying to pull it off? Wow.
I can't decide if this dress is cute, or if it resembles Wonder Woman's costume too much.

Top Five LOL Dogs of the Day

Would You Like My Autograph?

Today the strangest thing happened - I was recognized. That's right, little ol' me, Pinky Lovejoy, was recognized by one of my readers (!). Actually, it's not the first time this has happened - as it actually happened last week - but it was funny the way it all went down. See, Sammy and I were walking to the Hollywood Show and noticed a big line. As we got close, I saw someone call out, "Pinky and Sammy! I saved you a spot!" Turns out, it was a super cute reader who said she recognized us from the site. How cool is that?!?! First of all, THANK YOU! Second of all, so fun to meet her! Finally, WOW! Thanks again!
The other funny thing that happened was that this Superman guy was lingering at the Hollywood show. At one point he was telling me to hold Sammy on my back with his arms on my shoulders "like me." I think that meant like Superman....which begs the question...does he think he's actually Superman?!!? WTF.

Pinky's Fandance - Christopher Knight

Slowly but surely I'm making my way through all of the Brady Bunch kids. With the addition of Christopher Knight - aka Peter Brady - today, I only need Marcia and Jan to complete my collection! :) Not only is Christopher super cute, but he's really nice, as well. I loved that their charity was pet related. WIN.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, nope, his voice didn't crack at all.

Skip This: The Lucky One

There's nothing I hate more than looking forward to a film and have it totally suck. Even worse? Being SO excited for a film and going go see it the day it opens only to be bummed the whole time at the waste of time it turned out to be. Needless to say, I was super psyched about seeing the new Zac Efron movie. Sadly, I turned out to be the UN lucky one for having to sit through this garbage.
In case you were thinking of seeing it, here's a recap: Zac looks like this. A lot. I think he might've been constipated for the entire film because this is the same look he had from beginning to end. To combat Zac's surly look, this girl was either pissed off or crying the whole time. My favorite part was when Zac told her that he'd WALKED FROM COLORADO TO LOUISIANA for no reason at all except he "liked to walk." Um, what?! That happened within the first ten minutes of the film - and that's about the time the movie lost me. Run off and play with Forrest Gump, Zac, because I no longer believe you're real.Oh, look. Here's Zac looking very serious and stern. Yawn.
Truth be told, the movie was *almost* saved by the promise of a naked Zac. Unfortunately, he was only naked for like 30 seconds - much too short to erase the garbage that was the rest of the film. Now, granted, it's a Nicholas Sparks movie, I should've expected a bunch of crappy schmaltz, but this atrocity was worse than my worst nightmares. FAIL.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Monday Edition

Hello and welcome to Monday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. I'm not sure why celebs think wearing red on a red carpet is a great idea. It isn't.
Speaking of things that aren't a good idea, didn't leopard print go out of town about a decade ago?
I love the pissed off look on that cat's face. I think he's about to eat Ceelo alive. DO IT!
Oh, phew. I hadn't seen Gaga and her craziness in so long, I was starting to forget whether or not she was relevant.
Sorry, Nicki, since Gaga's back, you can go back to being second fiddle.

Top Five FAILS of the Day

Squinkies for Me

So, when I was at my brother's house recently, the kids were showing me their newest toy craze, Squinkies. While I thought they were adorable, I didn't really think much more about them until they started putting them in McDonald's Happy Meals. Now I'm obsessed. My computer at work is adorned with Squinkies, but I don't have nearly enough. I was checking online and they even have an Ariel set of Squinkies (!) (!) (!). Can you stand it?!? I must have this wonderful thing!

Pinky's Fandance - Cloris Leachman

I've always liked Cloris Leachman - ever since she tried to replace Mrs. G on The Facts of Life. Everyone I know seems to have a picture with her, so when I saw that she'd be at a low-key event this week, I got my girl Lindsay to come down and meet me (the same place where we also saw James Spader). While Cloris was very nice, she definitely has a way she likes to take a picture. Not only did she place me where she wanted me to stand, but she pulled the camera in super close to our faces. Usually people want the camera far away (especially older people), but not Cloris. She knows what she likes and she's sticking to it!

Can I Wish For This???

You know my birthday just happens to be right around the corner. Can I wish for this??

Celebrity Wrap Up - Sunday Edition

Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Is it wrong that aside from the scary trolls on her tights, I kind of think this outfit is cute? Know what's NOT cute? Kelly's hair. Ugh. 90210 forever!!! Where's Dylan? Dear Zac - It appears to be night-time. Why are you wearing shades? Love, Pinky.
Speaking of wearing sunglasses at night, you're not Corey Hart, Josh. Take them off. You look ridiculous.
