For those of you who know me have come to accept and understand my love for celebrity gossip.   I am not sure if it is the fairy tale, the glitz or the glamor that pulls me in, but I love it!  I am avid reader of Popsugar.com and check in for my daily dose of mindless celebrity entertainment.  I am not saying that I am proud of this addiction (yes, sadly I cannot live without it) but the Hollywood buzz is to hard for me to resist.

With the Oscar’s are right around the corner my head is spinning with all the excitement. I can’t help to think about all the event planning and prepping that is going into Hollywood’s biggest night.  I imagine Wolfgang Puck and his culinary team are tirelessly chopping, mincing, grating and blanching in preparation of feeding Hollywood’s most notorious stars. I would love to be in his kitchen on Oscar night just to watch him work (and of course to eat one of his famous chocolate “Oscar” confections).

I know all of the nominees are going to extremes to ensure they look perfect on awards night.  They are primping, pampering, botoxing, cleansing, and and of course dieting to fit into whatever luxurious gown (or tux) they have decided upon.   The dresses and jewels definitely fit into the “fairy tale” side of Hollywood for me.

I don’t think I have enough time (or space) to get into the nominee’s or the films.  I definitely have my favorites (Black Swan and True Grit) but I cannot wait to see who the academy selects and who gets to take home OSCAR~~

I will see you all next week to discuss the best and worst dressed… until then, Ciao!

PS- thanks to those who inspire me….
