Chasing Kelly

It's been almost a full month since my showroom moved from our own store to the Pacific Design Center and it's pretty much a big bore, though we are a tad busier than before but yesterday was actually quite intriging if only for the chase that I was on.

So I'm not much of a celebrity chaser, in fact I don't even recognize half of the people Alfred insists we have seen - though from blocks away I did recognize Little Leslie Jordan walking down the sidewalk in West Hollywood - in fact there's only a select few that would get me really excited should I encounter them, and how I would love for one or two of them to show up at my work place, but alas it usually doesn't happen - I've met Michael Jackson (crazy!), that red headed chick who went blonde from "That 70's Show" and Patricia Heaton from "Everybody Loves Raymond" before I knew she was a crazy loud mouthed Republican but then something cool happened yesterday.

I went down to the 3rd floor balcony for my morning smoke and noticed this cool looking younger chick come outside and smoke. I thought, "Is that? Could it be? Is it? I think it is..." It was frickin' Kelly Osbourne, or at least I thought so. I didn't want to ask her cause well, I'm just that way, I mean if I asked her if she was Kelly Osbourne and she said "Yes," then what? I can't exactly hug her and say "I frickin' love you! Your music is awesome and people should give you half a chance cuz you rock..." though I guess in hindsight that may have worked.

Well after I thought I saw Kelly, I went back to work and then later as I walked back downstairs to get the mail - this girl and some punk looking guy were riding the escalator behind me, but I couldn't hear what they were saying, so I couldn't tell if she had an English accent or not...

So I sent my co-worker up to the 6th floor to follow them around and let me know if it was indeed Kelly O - he came back to tell me she did in fact have an English accent, so I grabbed my cell phone and ran around the whole frickin' building trying to catch Kelly O and get a pic with her (and hand her my new CD of course) but alas little lass eluded me.... until our next meeting Miss O - I'll be watching you:

Kids Are Superstars Too

The best and easiest way to get into the entertainment industry has always been by having the fortunate luck of being born to a famous parent. Ask Kate and Oliver Hudson if maybe, just maybe being Goldie Hawn's children helped them out, or perhaps Jordan Ladd got a little push being my gal Cheryl's daughter. Of course there's no doubt that my gal Kelly O would never have made a CD if daddy Ozzy hadn't been there to put her into a TV series. I'm not saying that these kids are talented, I'm just saying they have the lucky push of having a foot firmly entrenched into the door, so it's no surprise when the offspring of famous people decide to launch a career of their own.

Most seem to actually do a good job and I'm talking of miss Kelly O who has made two very excellant albums and I don't want anyone arguing about it until we sit down together and listen to both albums from start to finish... then we can discuss... but I'll bet you'll be swayed...

okay this uber long introduction was basically done just to introduce you all to Chloe Lattanzi, the latest in the celeb offspring to head into their parent's career - Chloe is launching her debut album sometime this year and you may recognize the last name as her daddy is actor/dancer Matt Lattanzi but it's her mama who's the hot ticket named Miss Livvie - that's right Olivia Newton-John's daughter is making her music debut.

And she's not too bad, in fact I really like the music she's doing - it's modern pop but more in the P!nk vein than say Brittney - so check out Chloe's My Space page and definitely listen to "It's Magic" which (yes) uses a sample of her Mama's 1980 hit... it's really good and while you're on My Space go back and listen to Kelly O's "One Word" as it is practically Pop Music Genius...
