The Red Carpet.
UPDATE: This story is interesting to read b/c I talk about Reality 24/7, the start-up reality network that I interned for two summers ago. Well Reality 24/7 went under when Fox Reality stole the idea ("stole" - it is eleged that the idea was stolen and based on what I know, I still believe it to be true. Press releases from Fox, for example, held verbatim things that I had personally written while at 24/7.) Anyway, now that "9 on the Town" is on hiatus, I remain at Tri-Crown working for our show called "Reality Remix" a Reality Talk show/Talk Soup like program that we produce for, guess who, Fox Reality. It's kinda neat how everything comes full circle.

Dear Diary (and those reading you)

I just got back from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Honorary Awards Ceremony and I feel like a total star. It was so amazing. I wish I could explain what I experienced, but I guess its just one of those things that will have to remain in my heart and mind as do some experiences that you all have had the pleasure of having and then attempted to explain to me.

I walked down the red carpet, I brushed elbows (literally) with Tony Danza (who hosted the awards show) and Bob Barker, Katie Couric, etc etc. We started off in the beautiful front courtyard of the Television Arts and Sciences building which was amazingly decorated and catered. We watched the show. They had a live feed from Iraq where Tom Brokow is right now. He was also being honored, but couldn't make it to the show because he is covering the war. "I would love to be there experiencing this with all of you, but my place is here where the action is," he said. "I go to bed every night and ask God to give me another day doing what I love so much."

I laughed, I cried, and after wards I ate amazing horse d'oeuvre and drank wine. It was sooo awesome. I thought about Kate and how she'd want to take pictures on the red carpet. I thought about friends who'd be quoting Happy Gilmore - "the price is wrong biatch!!" I thought about my mom who has a dress that is so exactly like the one Katie Couric was wearing!!! I wished that everyone could be there to experience it. So cool.


In other news, I saw the Terminal the other day with Tom Hanks (well not with him, he was just in it) We saw William Defoe at the theater. By the way, the movie was better than I thought it would be. I really think, Mom, that you should take Ahmad to see it. It reminded me of him on many levels.


Last night Chris, Dan, and I went to Santa Monica. Then we came back and hung out at the apt. We also ran and jumped the locked fence and went swimming in one of the pools. Shhhhhhh!!! Don't tell


News from reality central - it looks like the number of people they'll be hiring at launch is 700 - fingers crossed, because things are looking good! I could be on TV too, but that's a whole other story.

Hope all is well with everyone. I miss you guys. Love ya
