MGS Chat: Kobe Bryant
On the occasion of Kobe Bryant’s retirement announcement, I was able to do a sit down with arguably the greatest Laker of all-time and top ten NBA legend… MEDIA GUY: You said in the past you didn’t want a farewell tour when you retire. Now that you have announced you’re going to retire at the […]
Save the Key!
Okay, so where am I? I’m traveling to work on my television show and somehow translate butchered Japanese english into real english and then back into something Japanese that the masses on the Pacific island can fathom in the middle of a melodrama. In the middle of all of this drama, and on the eve […]
The Hunger Games World Tour and the Fashion of Jennifer Lawrence
Okay, so where am I? There’s been some rumor about a trip to Hungary to see the amazing architecture and take in the opera at the Hungarian State Opera House (amazing!). And, I may have needed to be in Hollywood to accept my Emmy (yeah, that’s a thing, woo hoo!). And, I may or may […]
Innovation on the 101 Freeway
Okay, so where am I? Well if it were just ten years ago, I would be waiting in line to buy my Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens movie ticket that comes out three months from now. The Internet made it so I could skip Hollywood lines for the 1977 opening of the original Star […]
NSFW: Personal Brand
If Esquire says you are, you can bet that it’s true.

Straight Outta Encino
Okay, so where am I? I’m definitely NOT in Compton getting ready for the premiere of the N.W.A. bio pic Straight Outta Compton. (Although I did some of my early years living there with my dad in our Trek of Diversity that lasted until my mid-teens. But that is, of course, a story for another day.) […]

I’ve shown you how to make it at a media party, how to drink like a Mad Man, and even how to get your client to push away from the hosted bar after walking the red carpet. But, have you ever wondered how people drink beer across the globe? I can be your tour guide. […]
A Tobacco #TBT
I’ve never done a #TBT, aka Throwback Thursday. Gosh, I feel so old. Tobacco has long been a fascination of mine. When I was growing up in the mid-70s, every magazine seemed to have a super cool cigarette ad with gorgeous, dynamic women and manly men. I learned that since the late 1700s, when the […]
