The New Face of Adidas

Matt was recently made the new face of Adidas's ClimaCool line.

Adidas. As in David Beckham's Adidas!

You can check out the website here.

There are also a bunch of funny commercials where he's Mr. Adidas surrounded by a couple of gym douches.





Congratulations Matt!

Adidas is awe$ome.

Please invite me to the next Adidas party and introduce me to Posh and Becks.






SUPEROMG - RJR on The Bachelorette!!!

I don't know how this slipped by me until now, but I found out yesterday through a chance encounter with MichaelTan that our childhood friend and eggfurious cast member Jay (RJR) is going to be on The Bachelorette...premiering TONIGHT!!!!



Jay resurfaced in my life about a year ago just as I was getting ready to leave LA.

We had a delicious lunch at Sur...



On the day we took these headshots...



(And at the time I didn't really know why he wanted headshots since he is a lawyer and not an actor...)

But we stayed in touch... and he attended my Incredibly Going-Away Party.



And hit on some of my pretty ladyfriends.



Wow wow wow wow wow....I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BACHELORETTE TONIGHT!!!!!

It's on at 9pm on ABC!

I was going to be watching it anyway, but this just makes it SOOOOO much better.

Like...I mean...I've known Jay since we were 6 years old and we went to sleepaway camp with Mike and Charlie and Connor and Matt and played Go Fish! naked in a sleeping bag. So weird.

Some lives are just perfect.

On May 14, just a day before her wedding, Danneel found out that the pilot she starred in, "Friends with Benefits", was picked up by NBC.

It's probably an understatement to say that it has been a VERY good week for her.

Here's today's press release:

Newlywed Danneel Harris, who just said “I Do” to Supernatural hottie Jensen Ackles, is part of the NBC’s newest TV series Friends with Benefits. Instead of enjoying a relaxing honeymoon, the actress has hit the road to immediately begin promoting her new show.

First stop: NYC for NBC's Upfronts:



The remainder of the cast of "Friends with Benefits" includes Veronica Mars and Party Down actor Ryan Hansen, Jessica Lucas of Cloverfield, Ian Kesler and Fran Kranz.

Per NBC, Friends with Benefits revolves around:

“A group of twenty-something singles as they navigate the difficult, and often confusing, world of dating. Ben Weymouth (Ryan Hansen) is on the hunt for the perfect woman who meets his unique set of standards, while his best friend, Sara Maxwell (Danneel Harris) is just looking for a man to settle down with and raise a family. Ben and Sara have fallen into the habit of turning to each other for moral and physical support as they wait for Mr. and Mrs. Right to arrive. Their friend Aaron (Fran Kranz), a romantic at heart, doesn’t approve of Ben and Sara’s complicated friendship, but he, along with the womanizer Hoon (played by Ian Kesler) and straight shooter Riley (Jessica Lucas) are all distracted with their own dating trials and tribulations.”

The pilot was penned by the writers of "500 Days of Summer" and the series will be executive produced by David Nevins and Brian Grazer ("24", "Arrested Development", "Friday Night Lights").

Friends with Benefits will appear on NBC this Fall!

----------------------------------------

The trailer looks promising!



And, I mean, come on. With that writing and producing team how can you possibly go wrong?

In the meantime you can check out Danneel in her upcoming movie projects "The Roommate" co-starring Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, and "The Back Up Plan" starring Jennifer Lopez.

The Wedding!

So apparently there was a crazed fan/wedding crasher who took unauthorized photos which you can see here.

I flew to Dallas to shoot the wedding last minute because Bjoern was doing the photos and when I heard this I had literally just watched a clip from Supernatural at the gym the day before so I knew exactly who Jensen was.

The show looks great. And funny!



So Bjoern asked me to come help with the wedding and I figured I'd go and help and take some beautiful pictures for my portfolio.



I looked at last-minute flights. They started at $800, but it would totally have been worth it. But then I realized that even when flights are that expensive you can just use airline miles to get the flight for cheaper! (I paid 25,000 AA miles for a flight that would have cost me $825.)

Hooray!

It was pretty surreal that I was admiring the beauty of the groom and his co-star/best friend Jared one day...





As well as that of the bride and her costars/assumed bridesmaids...

Photobucket

...And then a couple days later I'm jetting off to see them on one of the most special days of their lives!

Surreal and EPIC!




The fact that Jared is only an inch shorter than me = instant besties.



I only have Bjoern to thank for not only inviting me, but for being the greatest most-inspiring photographer, mentor, and friend and for teaching me everything I know.



I owe my entire career and lifestyle to him! Thank you Bjoern forever and ever!!!

Congrats D&J!!!!

Smileyjohn and Jesse save my life

So seriously if it hadn't been for Smileyjohn and Jesse videochatting me to see if I could postpone my flight to standby on the first morning flight and just not even deal with standby for my 1:30am flight that I went and managed to miraculously get a seat on the 6am flight.

I'm not sure if properly explained this but basically if I had waited on standby as I had planned for the 1:30 flight and then not gotten on and THEN rolled over my standby status to the 6am flight I would have been in line with all the other people who didn't make it on the 1:30am flight. But because I was like, F the 1:30 am flight and a seat opened up JUST as I was doing it, I basically cut the line.

So I owe it all to them that I make it to Dallas in time for the wedding.

To celebrate the boys drove over from Silverlake to spend a few hours with me in Venice.



We drove up to Abbot Kinney.



And hit up Roosterfish.



Lots of beers.



Lots.



And then we played Photo Hunt.



And we got the top score!



And then...IHOP.



Where we had the most fabulous waitress - Ms. Charisma.



YUUUUUM.









After late night eats they dropped me off at the airport. And who did I run into while riding the elevator from Departures to Arrivals to grab a little sleeping spot before security reopens?

Kimora Simmons.



Yay!

See you in Dallas!

Super-Ugh / LAX Celeb-sightings

So because of severe weather in Dallas my flight has been cancelled.

The next flight they can get me on is at 1245pm TOMORROW and it gets into Dallas at 6pm...so basically I miss the wedding I'm headed to, though I should get there just in time for celebrity wastedface.

I am committed to devoting every ounce of energy to getting there on time though, so I'm trying to fly standby on every flight leading up to the 12:45 one.

The first possible one I can get on is at 12 am tonight. So I'll be stuck in the airport here for at least 6-18 hours.

GROAN.....

I am, however, a firm believer in that old saying "When one door closes, another one opens." Plus you can always break a window or take an axe to the garage door...

So the silver lining here I guess is that I have AA lounge access and so I'll get to be in here spotting celebs as they travel through to their different destinations.

Already at the check-in counter I bumped into Madison B., new Season 4 cast member of Friday Night Lights.




She asked me if she could cut me in line because she was late for her flight to Austin (they're currently filming Season 5 there) and of course I let her cut in front of me and I told her I loved her show and she was super excited I recognized her because so far only the first episode has aired and this is her first big gig so she's still new to the "celebrity thing" and I said awesome I take headshots and I will take your headshots someday (if you're lucky). And she laughed and took my business card and we're totally like new bff.



THEN, in the AA lounge I spotted Russell Brand and Katy Perry.





2 hours down...4 to 14 more to go.

Hot Danny's Windows Commercial!

A couple weeks back Hot Danny was telling me about this commercial he shot for Microsoft. It hit TV stations today. Megoon was the first to catch it.



If Megoon made tens of G's off her voiceover residuals for Citibank years ago, I can only imagine how much Danny is going to make.

WHHHEEEEE$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
