Movie Stars

Have I really not posted anything since last September? Worst blogger ever.

I’ll be honest. I’m not a natural blogger. When something exciting happens to a natural blogger, their first instinct is to write up a post. At least that’s what I think. One of my friends is a really great food blogger (bunboyeatsla.com). He faithfully published 3-4 posts a week for years. In contrast, when exciting things happen in my life, I promptly forget that I even have a blog, or so it seems.

So to make up for lost time, I’m posting pictures of celebrities in this one. These were taken at this year’s annual dinner for the Cesar Chavez foundation. The event was more star studded than usual because it coincided with the premiere of “Cesar Chavez,” a biopic directed by Diego Luna. I saw the movie a few weeks ago – it’s very well done and tells an important story. Had I been more timely with this post, I could urge you to go out and see this movie in theaters. Alas, I fear it is probably too late. At least you can put it on your Netflix queue.

Also, in case you were wondering, the celeb I was most excited to see at the dinner was Oscar Nunez, who starred for years in the TV series “The Office.” Oscar was at the after party and I started talking to him. (“Do you want to hang out with me and my friends?”) We became total besties that night. He invited me into the VIP area, and we talked about where my fiancé and I were planning to honeymoon. He left suddenly and without saying goodbye, but I’m sure he’ll be sending me a friend request on FB any day now.

For the life of me, I cannot remember this woman’s name. She has an irrepressible personality; she says “coochie coochie” a lot. And she looks amazing for her age.
