Last
Tuesday around midnight I walked into the brand new Fatburger
in Hollywood, ordered what I’d ordered for nearly
a decade – Double Kingburger with everything on it
– raced home, locked my front door, yanked up my sleeves,
and engaged in what I like to call full-on “Occupy
Fatburger.” Uh-oh - hold the phone. In all my years
as a loyal Fatburger-er, I’ve never dreamed of using

GUY
GONE WILD
IF YOU
HAPPENED TO HAVE BEEN worried about my well being seven
years, four months and 3 days ago, there would have been
no need for concern – I was in Phoenix, Arizona, sitting
on a small table in the corner of the ‘Playboy Suite’
in the back of our million dollar tour bus, wearing a weathered
grey t-shirt and jeans, an old Orioles baseball cap, drinking
a bottle of Heineken, and watching three perfect beautiful
blonde naked college girls making out with ..READ

The couch
I’m sprawled out on as I write these words reminds
me of an afternoon I spent at Goodwill in 2009 with my dear
friends Maria and Tom.
Maria Victoria Bloch-Bauer Altmann – the woman Tom
and I cared for up until the day she left us in February
– was a multi-millionaire heiress who grew up in one
of the most cultured and influential families in Austria
at the...READ

FATBURGER!
If you
happened to be strolling around Silverlake about 18 days
ago, which I’m sure you weren’t, you might have
seen a tall, turtleneck-wearing Irish guy sitting outside
fondling his double-Kingburger as if it were a beautiful
woman. That guy was me, and I was at Fatburger, and by the
way, since we’re on the topic, I don’t care
what anyone says, it’s the best burger in the Western
Hemisphere, and ...READ

DO
NOT QUIT BEFORE THE WORLD OPENS ITS EYES
I was
on the phone last week sitting on my bed in my Hollywood,
CA apartment, talking to my mom sitting on her porch in
her Reston, VA condominium, and we were discussing a subject
not uncommon to our regular weekend powwows: ART. In this
case, the one involving paint. My mother and I could talk
for hours about ...READ

I
(OVER) THINK, THEREFORE I AM
THINK.
Last
week I brought in the new year at a party in the valley,
and as I stood there with a glass of champagne in one hand
and a (third) red velvet cupcake in the other, I was presented
with my latest golden opportunity to share one of my all-time
favorite quotes, from none other than Mr. Woody Allen: “90
percent of life is just showing up.” One of the most
effective, applicable pieces of knowledge I’ve found
anywhere.
It was a small, modest home in Sherman Oaks, and the only
reason I mention that is because the person who owned it
is a Hollywood Heavyweight, and I always have ...READ
