I have a confession: I have never gone out on New Years Eve. Its not like I'm weird and drinkingI don't like going out it's just, I love money more. For ten years I've spent the night babysitting, at first I was too young to have plans and even when I was old enough I've always looked at it like "I can go out anytime," aside from the money I can make I save money by not spending on everything overpriced.

Tonight, for the first time, I am not working but honestly going out is the last thing I want to do. Thursday morning my boss left for the hospital (only to return home hours later) at 3am. Thursday night, due to the fact the fact that Tommy could come at anytime, Lauren and I slept at work and once again my boss for hospital at 3am (and his name is Rob Thomas backwards!) Now don't get me wrong I loved being with Gigi for all of this, there is nowhere I would have rather been but now that Tommy is here and everybody is doing fine I realize how exhausting anticipation can be (obviously not as bad as having a baby I should note.)

All I want is pajamas, Graham also in pajamas and Anderson Cooper to ring in 2012. Let everyone else get a midnight kiss and then get vomitedvomited on, spend all their money and curse their uncomfortable shoes, I will be kissing the cava-poo and drinking chocolate milk.

Okay I admit I might be weird.

Welcome to the World Thomas Robert

Gig is a big sister!!
I don't know that i could be any happier if he was mine own baby. I saw, what might be the most handsome baby ever, when he was just 5 hours old.


Congratulations Andy, Nicole, and G I love you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Seriously? Ledger's last days coming to a theater near you

I still have a Google alert for Heath Ledger. It is from years ago and every so often, there is a useful story worth reading so I keep it. Most of the stories are fluff like Gemma Ward, on the cusp of becoming an actress, opens up about secret romance with Ledger right before his death or Lindsey Lohan- attempting comeback revealing secret romance with Dark Knight star when he died (I know right? No wonder he was exhausted.) However, today there was one that completely blew me away, about how Michelle Williams is distraught over a movie in the works, about her baby daddy and ex's final days.


Williams, who fears how this will affect six year old Matilda Ledger, clearly was not interviewed for this script and judging by the Unauthorized Biographies that were written seconds after his death, nobody else of importance was either. Who, you may ask, are people of importance? The family for one, as well as the lawyer he was using for the custody battle, and Terry Gilliam and the cast and crew of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus- all people who documented as being around him and/or talked to him in those final days. While talking to these individuals still doesn't explain what happened in those final hours, it would add an ounce of truth to what I am expecting to be entirely based on tabloid journalism and hearsay.


The truth of The matter is that when there was an actual death investigation, nobody could get the real story of what transpired in those final days. The time between when Ledger left the London shoot and when his body was found remain unclear. The only person who can tell us what happened is Heath himself and I am rather sure he isn't telling.

Gigi goes to a David Cook concert

At the earliest of ages, G loved music so I would play my ipod for her and naturally this included David Cook among other artists. At some point after she learned how to talk she asked his name and soon would instantly recognized his voice. By the time Cook's album was released this summer, G had renamed a book about a boy named David "David Cook no no" which he found very funny. She's a fan so I thought why not take her to meet him?

Today Lauren and I did just that and boy did we have fun! She and David danced and wave to each other while he took meet and greet breaks, she gave him coffee (because she insisted she buy him a present) and best of all G sang "reindeer" (Rudolf) with David and the band. We then went to soundtrack where he performed three songs. All G did was smile and clap. She later called this the concert which I guess it was.

After she went home Lauren and I went to the real concert and it was his best yet. He performed beatles songs and brought out special guests that included Steven Van Zant of the E street band. All and all it was a great day, we all had a blast and David and his brother Andrew (who was assisting or tour managing and G kept cuting it up for) loved her.

LOOK WHO JOINED FACEBOOK

With the exception of when you work as Batman’s butler and he gets himself into more hot water than he can handle, there really isn’t anyone in this world who doesn’t like to say “I told you so.” I find the funniest “I told you so” moment comes when a celebrity says that you will never catch them doing such and such and then it happens. For example, when Lindsay Lohan wasn’t never going to turn into one of those kids stars who becomes the stereotypical problem adult or when an actor who is in it for the love of the craft does a super hero movie without following it up with something that indies the soul clean.

My favorite moment is when you hear how so and so will never join (insert social media site here) because it basically starts the countdown to when that becomes a lie. It happened with David Cook and twitter but most recently the culprit was director Terry Gilliam. After launching his personal website he said how he wasn’t never getting a Facebook account but was entering the digital age with the site. Well look what appeared yesterday!
