Hola Dudes and Dudettes, Annie and I just got back from my first tuxedo fitting and I need to cut some weight for the wedding ASAP, like Foxcatcher style! I'm taking over HITH for the day because Annie had to get laser beams shot into her face or eyes or something, but I'm totally in love with her face and everything about her, so that's tight. The wedding is only 58 days away...View Article
Yesterday, Tony wrapped season one of 'School of Rock.' I can’t believe it. The past few months flew by, it feels like they just started a few weeks ago. We went out for an impromptu date last night to celebrate with sushi and movie ('San Andreas,' funniest movie of the year, we loved every minute) - and in the car ride, we were both saying that it still doesn’t feel real. I remember so vividly Tony going for a run at Runyon Canyon, and his team calling and telling me to go find him it was so important they speak to him immediately, and him running home just as I was about to drive out in the middle of rush hour to search for him dodging cars on Laurel Canyon Boulevard and tell him to get in. He called them back, and put it on speaker phone so I could be a part of the moment, too. They told him he booked the role, and I started sobbing...View Article
My dad's genius godson Tommy graduated from law school and business school and passed the bar this weekend. He's my dad's best friend Bill's son, and like a brother to me. I'm almost exactly a year older, so I can technically say I've known him since he was born, even though neither of us remember meeting each other. He's probably the most accomplished person I know... All I accomplished this weekend was eating my own weight in tacos, fried chicken and cocktails. But it was worth it, for a weekend long celebration with Tommy's family in town. I love the family I was born into, but I'm doubly lucky to have such a loving extended family of people who (while not blood relatives) are like second parents and brothers to me. (I just wish I actually was related to Tommy's mom Barb, because she can do the splits and I can't even touch my toes.) Here are a few "snaps," as Barb likes to say, from our weekend...View Article
For Tony's Valentine's Day gift this year, I decorated his "School of Rock" trailer and stocked it with his favorite things. I had so much fun putting it all together. Stepford Wife adrenaline was coursing through my veins. I was channeling Martha Stewart as my spirit animal. I even thought about cleaning the house when I got home (thank god that madness passed!) Here is the little home away from home I put together for Tony on the Paramount lot...View Article
Nickelodeon and Paramount announced the full cast of "School of Rock" today! Breanna Yde is set as Tomika, Jade Pettyjohn as Summer, Ricardo Hurtado as Freddy, Lance Lim as Zack, and Aidan Miner as Lawrence. And they are AWESOME. I actually met Jade a few years ago, when she starred in "Prodigal," a short film my roommate and friend Ben Grayson co-wrote and directed and I executive produced. (She was as talented, sweet and professional then as she is now.) All of the kids are talented, sweet and professional; Tony lucked out big time, landing this group for his co-stars. Every day he comes home from work, he’s bubbling about how great they are and how fun his job is. He loves working with them.View Article
Need a distraction from work? How about you stare at this picture of a Shetland pony rocking Converse for a few minutes/hours? (That's what I've been doing since I snapped this shot yesterday.) My friend Eileen, her sweet sweet baby Goldie and I popped by the Paramount lot yesterday to say hi to Tony while he was working. He had the brilliant idea to "borrow" a golf cart (*sidenote to all production assistants on the Paramount lot: Tony is sorry if that was your golf cart), and took us on a tour of the lot. Running into this fella was the highlight of our joyride. Pretty sure the flower girls should ride him down the aisle at our wedding, but I forgot to ask for a business card or if they travel to Tahoe. If you still need work distractions, may I suggest this clickbait...View Article
