Way to go Sheryl Crow!

Yesterday marked the grand opening of The Sheryl Crow Imaging Center in Los Angeles, CA, which is “a state of the art breast imaging center featuring the latest advancements in digital screening and diagnostic imaging technologies,” according to a press release.

The Sheryl Crow Center is housed inside the Pink Lotus Breast Center which was founded by Crow’s surgeon, Kristi Funk, who treated a lump found in the singer’s breast in 2006 during a routine mammogram.
In addition to mammograms, The Sheryl Crow Center offers a comprehensive battery of medical services related to the breast, including clinical breast exams, diagnostic biopsies, genetic testing, surgery, radiation, nutrition and Chinese medicine.

Crow, a breast-cancer survivor herself, said: “Joining forces with the Pink Lotus Breast Center has provided me with a wonderful platform to create awareness and encourage the millions of American women over 40 to get their annual mammograms. Detecting breast cancer early is a woman’s best chance at survival, and digital full-field mammography is the gold standard of early detection.”

My two-cents worth: I personally know three beautiful women who are all battling breast cancer at this moment. A center like this is truly welcomed and Cheryl Crow deserves all of our gratitude for stepping up to help others after experiencing a personal tragedy herself.

AROUND TOWN LOS ANGELES.

 


While at the Dallas Cowboys Training Camp at Oxnard, CA, I met Donald Burr, President of Dallas Cowboys FanZ Club, also known as the “The Tried, True & Bleeding Blue” Club.

If you are a Dallas Cowboys fan, you should join that club!  The club’s “goal is to create a single point of interest for all Cowboys enthusiasts.” The club also allows fans to “meet and greet with other FanZ, current and former players, and learn how to support the players that built the NFL franchise known as the Dallas Cowboys.”

Their next event: A meet and greet and autograph signing session in Ontario, CA on Wednesday, August 25th with legends Tony Dorsett and Ed “Too Tall” Jones. Please see the flyer below for all information and costs.

Angelina Jolie Set to Make Directorial Debut In Feature Film

Angelina Jolie – Salt Premiere

Is there anything Angelina Jolie can’t do?

Oscar-winning actress, “Citizen of the World” award-winning humanitarian, and mother of six will no longer be the only titles which would accurately describe Jolie.

Add the title “movie director” to the mix as Jolie will be making her feature film directorial debut shortly for a love story set during the 1990’s Bosnian war.  The film will focus on a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman who meet on the eve of the war and the effect the war will have on their relationship.

Based on an original screenplay written by Jolie herself, the actors will be solely comprised of various ethnicities from the region of the former Yugoslavia. “The film is a love story, not a political statement,” Jolie said, “I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can.”

Jolie will produce the film alongside GK Films’ Academy Award-winning producer, Graham King, and King’s business partner, Tim Headington.

Well. What can I say, but you go girl.

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

   At this very second, Lady Gaga has 5,768,752 followers on Twitter. By the time you read this, she is sure to have added 20-50 more.

If that isn’t impressive enough, Gaga has now also ousted Britney Spears to become the person with the most number of Twitter followers. (Gaga also has the most followers of anyone on Facebook).

As a congratulations to herself, Gaga is now calling herself, “Queen of Twitter.” Another brilliant move for the smartest woman in music.

As a thank you to her fans Little Monsters, Lady Gaga produced this video. In it, she says, “”I wanted to thank all my beautiful little monsters for following me. I vow to never partake in celebrity online shenanigans. And I vow to always tweet and tweet again.”

Way to go Gaga for always keeping us entertained.

Jake Pavelka Stars In Drop Dead Diva And Gets Hounded By Paparazzi

Did any of you catch my friend, Jake Pavelka, on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva Sunday? I did and thought he did great–but would love to know what you thought of his scenes! Leave a comment!

Here is a clip of a scene in case you missed it:

Pavelka is living a pretty crazy life these days–acting, flying, and training for a Triathlon.  And getting hounded by Paparazzi while he does all of it . He Tweeted this picture last week of the papps trying to get a glimpse of him while he was doing something as mundane as getting a haircut.

Here is the final product of what the papps got. I just think it’s funny and sad at the same time that a man can’t get a haircut in Hollywood without cameras rolling because there is such high demand for such videos. I do love this one because Pavelka doesn’t seem too bothered with it and because the camera man had me rolling with laughter with what he says about “triathlons” near the end of the video. I don’t know how Pavelka restrained himself from calling the cameraman out on obviously not knowing what a triathlon is.

Justin Guarini To Make Broadway Debut In Women On The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown

Justin Guarini may so far be best known for not having won the first season of American Idol, or for starring in the Box Office flop, From Justin to Kelly (which sadly ranks as #22 on IMDB.com’s all-time 100-worst-rated movies). But Guarini is hoping  all that is about to change very soon. 


Guarini may have lost to Kelly Clarkson on Idol but he just won a key role in the Broadway musical, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, set to open in New York this November.

Guarini will play the role of Carlos and will join a slew of other Idol alums who have appeared on Broadway, including, Constantine Maroulis, Fantasia Barrino, Clay Aiken, and Diana DeGarmo.
