Nice Job, Baby Goose!

So I found several things refreshing about my run-in with Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling last night. These in no particular order:

1. He was dressed as a man should be who is out to dinner.  Not as a rollerblader who just happened to roll into a restaurant or a teenager coming off a 12 hour session of playing Call of Duty Black Ops II. 

2. He sat rather reserved in a suit and tie in his admittedly handsome glow having a normal conversation without the need to scan the room every several seconds to see who was paying attention to  him.

3. This, perhaps the most telling, there were not 25 paparazzi lining up outside the restaurant to take his picture.  This tells me two things. Mozza is not in on the game, and he doesn't need to call his publicist to tell him where he is going to be so 25 paparazzi are waiting for him outside the restaurant.

Nice Job, Baby Goose.

Anything Is Possible, Even A Golden Globe?

While it is too early for me to make my predictions for The Golden Globes this Sunday, I will say there is a pretty solid performance given by Naomi Watts in the very tough to watch movie, The Impossible. 

Rarely do I find myself simply unable to watch a movie, except for perhaps Harry and The Hendersons. But the first 15 minutes of The Impossible had me second guessing my decision to settle in for two hours of tension.  That being said, Ms. Watts was very good, as were the children in the cast.  In the long run, I am very glad I stuck with it, and perhaps come Sunday, Naomi will be as well.

Here's What's Happening In My Neck Of The Woods

Really, Al? At The White House? It's certainly getting tougher by the day to hold on to my Today Show loyalty, and I guess for Al to hold on to his breakfast.

So This Is Heaven...It's Amazing!

It's a sad day around the Blowing Sunshine offices as we have learned of the passing of the great Huell Howser. Huell was a Southern California legend and the host of numerous public television programs including "California's Gold" and six other series about life in the Golden State, such as "Visiting with Huell Howser," "Road Trip with Huell Howser," "California's Golden Parks," "California's Green," "California's Water" and "Downtown." Huell was a big, strapping man with the innocent curiosity of a 5-year old. Well known around the oak at Musso & Frank Grill, he was always kind and friendly. I can only imagine him in Heaven, this a man who was fascinated with funnel cakes. Oh, look the pearly gates...that's amazing. RIP, Huell!

Well, I Was Wrong About This Too

I thought 2013 might bring about the end of what are we are lead to believe is an overwhelming desire to read about Kim Kardashian. But what does she do? Just when we were hoping there was little more that could be said for a person who does whatever it is that she does. She gets pregnant. Already, there is speculation on how much this may bring in for old Kim. No one dare mention how it probably isn't the best idea, but just how grossly profitable it may end up being for her and her as yet to be named and dressed in free designer clothes baby. So thanks for that Kanye!
