Emmys Beauty Villa

This weekend, I was at the Emmys Beauty Villa where celebs and press came by to get red-carpet-ready for the 60th Emmy’s Awards and all the fabulous after parties. Among the attendees were Gabriel Byrne, Lady Victoria Hervey and Nicky Hilton. Cast members from the new 90210, Million Dollar Listing, The Hills and Brothers & Sisters also mingled in the crowd. Massages from Equinox Fitness, hair by Patrick Melville, and make-up from Napoleon Perdis helped get these stars prepped and pumped for the big night. We got a bit of private information from the cast members from 90210 – you know the tall, hot guy who flies girls up to San Fransisco on dates? Well, in real life, it turns out he is actually dating the bad girl who steals her friends bag for drug money in the first episode.

All the celebrities got pink hair straighteners from FHI, hair products from Sebastian and Belegenza, and facial cleansing pads from Arcana. Villa 10 at the Sunset Marquis was open to celebrities from Thursday through Sunday and also attracted some of the best media in town, like US Weekly and People Magazine. Friends from the TV Guide Channel and CBS also swung by. I met some interesting people, saw some old friends – and most important – got a slew of products to try out for Meg’s Make-Up. Stay tuned from reports from the Emmys Beauty Villa gift bag product reviews. Love you all! xoxo

Ashton Kutcher Becomes Assistant Football Coach at Harvard-Westlake

The LA Times is reporting Ashton Kutcher has taken a side job as the Harvard Westlake football coach. He was visited by two of his step daughters the other day on the Valley campus.

Ashton was very vocal on the sidelines screaming plays to the team. They ran out convincing winners beating their opponents 14-0.

Kutcher came on board through a mutual friend of freshman Coach Scott Wood. He is paid a stipend like all Wolverines coaches, though Athletic Director Audrius Barzdukas said “calling it a paid position is definitely a stretch.” … Kutcher was a middle linebacker at Clear-Creek Amana High in Tiffin, Iowa, and appears a quick study of coaching terminology. Wood, the freshman coach, said Kutcher took the Wolverines’ playbook home one night and learned the entire offense. The next night, he learned the entire defense. Continue reading

Celine Cousteau for La Prairie

Eco-royal & Oceanaut Celine Cousteau

If the name sounds familiar to you – it should! Celine is the grand daughter of world renown oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. She is quite the “oceanaut” herself these days; being called a rising star in adventure in exploration. She appears on her father’s show; “Jean-Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures” and has a position with her father’s nonprofit, Oceans Future Society. La Prairie’s Marine line of new products gives a contribution to the charity for every bottle, jar and cream sold.

Last week, reps from La Prairie sent me some products from their new collaborative line with Celine Cousteau, grandaughter of oceanaut Jacques Cousteau. Among Celine’s efforts to promote ocean integrity and sustainability, she has teamed with beauty house La Prairie to create lab-bred “aquacultures” which re-creates our sea’s regenerative botanicals without disturbing the ocean’s eco-cultures.

I loved the new toner even more than the La Prairie toner I normally use. Here is my review from Meg’s Make-Up:

LA PRAIRIE’S MARINE LINE!

La Prairie has outdone themselves this time. I have never seen more of class act and they never cease to amaze me. La Prairie has called upon ocean activist and explorer, Celine Cousteau, to develop a new line of sea-based products.

There are three products in this line; day cream, night cream and a toner. My eye was on the toner because the bottle contains three layers and you actually have to shake the bottle before using to get the layers to combine and activate. The layers are blue (water), golden (ocean antioxidants) and clear (oxygen). La Prairie used Celine’s ocean-conscious mind to cultivate ingredients from the ocean on-shore using an innovative technology called mariponics. In this way, we get the best the sea has to offer without affecting it’s nature state and eco-systems.

La Prairie and Celine Cousteau bring to the market a pure and refined product with engineering like no other. The three different layers look great in the bottle and separate back out the moment you put the bottle down. As with all La Prairie bottles, this product is gorgeous in its encasing, as is all their packaging. These bottles are break-proof, have a traditional shape, and as always, the signature silver cap.

Ocean Futures Society is helping maintain the health and integrity of our oceans by exploring our global ocean, inspiring and educating people throughout the world to act responsibly. Founded by Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques Cousteau, grand-daughter Celine Cousteau aids in the efforts. To become a free member and find out more, go here.

Friend and fellow Angeleno, Yosi Sergant, gets recognition in this week’s LA Weekly for his early adoption of the Obama campaign. PR-savvy Yosi is use to pumping eco-cars and artists but it’s the first time he has successfully managed to raise a human to the tipping point. Anyone around Yosi can testify to each major surge in Obama’s rise to popularity and President, again and again stemming from campaigns generated out of Jen Gross’ Evolutionary Media offices in Hollywood, where Yosi worked. That is up until Obama tapped him to join his White House staff days after the inauguration. Here is Yosi’s tweet: “Just got a call from the white house, I start work monday. Uhhhhhh.”

The Washington Post calls the newly appoint member to the Office of Public Engagement, the White House’s “Hipster-in_Chief“. Other memorable tweets from Yosi during the campaign and from the White House … (updated April 19th, 2009)

Always an L.A. Boy … he comes back to visit; leave it Yosi to be first at the newest club in town, Amanda Demme’s new clubH’wood”.
