Goodbye Los Angeles

January 14th, 2008 by Dean Piper

I’ve just finished forcing all my shopping into my case and shortly will be whisked off in my Lincoln to the airport to fly back to the UK. My friends are glad I’m coming home – I understand I’ve missed a few fun nights out. Thank God I’m still detoxing! No booze at all (apart [...]

GOLDEN GLOBES -The results….

January 14th, 2008 by Dean Piper

I would have been dressed to the nines in my tux and oozing sophistication on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. Instead, thanks to the ongoing writer’s strike, I was sitting in my hotel room watching the results of the usually glamorous event being read out by Ryan Seacrest on E! from a press [...]

So today in LA it was 70 degrees and bright sunshine non stop! I cannot deal with it. Why live in London? Well, I’ll have to get over it because I’m flying back on Monday evening! Check out the pool!

So I write to you from the gorgeous Raffles L’Ermitage Beverly Hills hotel where I’ve just check in thanks to the generous people at E! Entertainment. This hotel rocks totally! Did I mention before now that the hotel hosted Katie Holmes recent birthday party? Well it did.
And as I checked in I happened to meet [...]

INTERVIEW with Spice Girl Melanie C

January 9th, 2008 by Dean Piper

So here’s a bit of a treat for you all. I was lucky enough to catch up with the glorious Melanie C from the Spice Girls when I interviewed her for Closer Magazine. She’s a superstar within her own right – and for me the most talented in the band. She’s frank, honest and actually [...]

Shock horror – Madonna’s slumming it…..

January 8th, 2008 by Dean Piper

I never thought I’d see the day Madge slummed it on her holiday – but hey, just call her the Queen of culture. Madonna is in India!
She’s been touring the slums of Mumbai with Guy and the three kids. The star is taking a well earned break with her family before getting back to work [...]
