Movie Premiere

Wednesday night I got the chance to see the New York City premiere of Adam Sandler's latest movie, Grown Ups, at the legendary Ziegfeld Theater!

Once arriving at the red carpet I stood with Chloe as she interviewed the stars of the movie, including David Spade and Chris Rock!! Plus, we did catch a glimpse of Adam Sandler entering the theater in his red t-shirt!!

I had never been to an actual movie premiere for the filming -- just as a fan outside Radio City for the Sex and the City 2 premiere at the end of May. But, let me tell you, knowing you're watching a movie for it's debut showing -- along side the stars themselves, is unlike any experience I've had thus far in New York.

Chloe and I got our popcorn and soda (free, by the way, and DELICIOUS), then made our way to our seats -- in the EIGHTH row of the center section of the main floor! As the movie was starting I looked around to see that the younger cast members we sitting in the row just behind mine.

The film was so funny, but also finds away to make a nice moral out of the story. I believe it will do well today on it's official opening!! Definitely go and see it if you have the chance!

Finally, a Routine!

With over four weeks completed at Hollywood Life, I feel like I've finally nailed down a solid routine. Each day I know my individual responsibilities:

**Every week on Wednesdays I purchase the "weeklies" (i.e. Ok!, US Weekly, Star, People, InTouch, Life&Style) and scan the covers (for the weekly poll) and the cover stories.
**Last week I created a Megan Fox gallery for her new movie...unfortunately the movie bombed and the gallery never ran.

A Glimpse

This past Wednesday I got the chance to be the “photo intern” at work! I got to learn how to do a split photo -- where they compare two people or two photos of the same person. I also learned how to create a photo gallery -- mine was of Megan Fox. I'm not sure if it's going to go up any time soon, or ever, now that Megan recently released a new photo shoot of her in designer underwear. However, the gallery I created was a for a new movie she's in, so the gallery could be posted closer to the release date.

I really enjoyed working with our photo director, Christina. She was impressed that I already was familiar with Photoshop in CS4 -- yet another reason to love having chosen to attend Mizzou!!

In addition, today I spot with our two designers, Andrea and Jeremy about helping with graphics stuff!! We don't have an intern assigned to graphics at all during the wish and Andrea told me that around 1 p.m. every day is the time to come ask about what I can help with!! I'm so excited! It's just another thing I'm getting the chance to do! I can't wait to ask about it on Monday!

Now for another glimpse...I was within a couple of feet from my FAVORITE actress, ever: Alexis Bledel! Lindsey sent me to the premiere of "I Am Love," an Italian film staring Tilda Swinton -- who played the White Queen in Narnia. Alexis was not in the film and, unfortunately, did not stop to speak with any of the press. I was a little heartbroken; I even called my mom as I left the red carpet and nearly started crying. Nonetheless, my idol from Gilmore Girls was closer to me then I ever imagined she would be. She was just as gorgeous and she will forever be someone I look to as a role model!

Just another day at Hollywood Life! It's been a crazy four weeks!
