The party has started in Whistler. I went to a ski party for Salomon Ski’s from France. I met a dude at Zog’s, a hot dog stand, and he said I should duck in and grab a beer at a party. I turned up and a lovely publicist said “who are you?”. I blatantly said I was here for the finger food and free beer. She said come straight in. Gee I wish Elton John’s Oscar Party was that easy to get into!

To my happiness they had Ice Cold beer and women getting their body painted! I would of taken photos of the very sexy beer cans I was drinking but thought these shots were more tasteful……..

Vancouver Winter Olympics – Opening Ceremony Stadium

I have finally managed to settle myself into the Olympic madness. I arrived in Vancouver Monday afternoon and it has been non-stop in getting set up for the Games. I am working for NBCOlympics.com and my videos will appear on their website. My first thoughts of Vancouver was how clean and beautiful the city was. With the water and the mountains in the background it gives off a feel like Hong Kong, without the thousands of skyscrapers.

On my first walk around the city I made my way over to the Olympic stadium to take a look. I was at first baffled as it is an indoors stadium which confused me about where the burning flame will be…..when they light it Friday night I hope they don’t burn the place down.

JJ Adler – America Film Director – she loves big checks!

The magic of the Sundance Film Festival is that you get to run into very talented people. I was walking down Main Street and managed to track down the very talented JJ Adler. In her normal life she is the director of The Onion News Network tv.theonion.com

In her Sundance life she is the director of a short film called “New Media”.

I chatted to JJ Adler just after she had won a couple of big checks for being a great new director. I’ve always wanted to win a big check and she had loads of them!

Lady Antebellum chat about booty calls

A few weeks ago I had never heard of the country band Lady Antebellum. And now I know all about them. Charles, Hillary and Dave are one of the biggest country bands in the America and have a new record out called Need You Now. The single Need You Now is discussed intimately in this interview. We caught up at the Sundance Film Festival where they performed a small show in front of about 150 people where the booze flowed freely.

Kristen Stewart Runaways Sundance Film Fest

I think Kristen Stewart is fantastic and I’ll admit I get a little tongue tied when I talk to her…I was lucky enough to have a yarn with her at the red carpet for the new Joan Jett bio pic THE RUNAWAYS at the Sundance Film Festival. The film also stars Dakota Fanning. I don’t think she liked my last question!!!

CLICK ON THE VIDEO BELOW and leave me a comment below….do you think she hates me?

Here is my New Moon junket interview where she didn’t like me at the start and then by the end got her like me a little bit.

Sundance Film Fest – Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Park City Utah has been gripped by a blizzard – the place is chaos when lining up for movies and getting around. I went along to the premiere of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new movie Hesher. A year ago he walked the red carpet for 500 Days of Summer.

He is also in Park City promoting his new web site/production company http://www.hitrecord.org/ – smart idea….

Up in the Air was celebrated at the National Board of Review Awards in New York City. George Clooney shared a Best Actor award along with Morgan Freeman. Also at the awards was Precious star Gabourney Sibide and the very pretty Carey Mulligan. The father of Jason Reitman, Ivan, was on the red carpet with his Mrs. And speaking of the Mrs. I take my hat off to George Clooney. What a champion. His girlfriend Elisabetta is a global stunner.

Check out the video below…..sorry about my dishevelled tie!

Back amongst all the Twilight New Moon madness everyone was talking about Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and the wolf kid Taylor Lautner. Thats all I really cared about too on the day I was summoned to Los Angeles to interview them. However something strange happened. My first interview was with the chick who plays Alice in the movie.

Playing Edward Cullen’s sister Alice didn’t start out being a big role in the first Twilight but by the end of New Moon people stood up and asked “Who is this hot piece of vampire?” Well that’s what I said.

I was thrust into an interview room at the Four Season’s Hotel in Beverly Hills where I was made to interview Ashley Greene. The first thing I realised was how hot she was. She looked a hell of a lot better than Alice in the movie. Take a look below at the video of me getting flustered interviewing her. What a mess I was!

I’ve since seen her on red carpets in New York City and she is by far the best looking lady on them. She just has to leave her pet dog at home more….one of those little rat-like dogs that she dresses up in rainbow sweaters. I nearly stepped on it when I interviewed her.

Other people have discovered how hot she is. She will be appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition covered in body paint. That hits shelves in early February. Before you get a hold of the one handed magazine you can check out the hot video of Ashley rolling around on a tree and on the beach naked….well covered in that pesky paint….if you have a good imagination you can get past the paint.

DoubleDayCera

Michael Cera is loved by women all over the world who are happy with his childlike boy-next-door features. However in his new movie, Youth In Revolt, he runs into a girl that doesn’t like him too much. He then has to transform into a sexy beast to impress her.

I caught up with Michael and his co-star Fred Willard at the New York City red carpet. Was his female co-star Portia Doubleday a better cuddler than Jonah Hill in Superbad?

Robert Downey Jnr with his Mrs and Jude Law

Sherlock Holmes is doing great at the box office. This action movie is great fun and cements Robert Downey Jnr as an unlikely action star. I caught up with him, Jude Law and the director Guy Ritchie.

Jude Law the Englishman starts off having a go at me about England beating Australia in the cricket!
