Last night it seemed of all of Hollywood was roaming around The Beverly Hilton, where both The Golden Globes, and most of the show's after-parties, were held.

After the red carpet arrivals and the ceremony—where Michelle Williams, George Clooney, and Meryl Streep, were among the big winners—the stars hit parties at the hotel's pool, on the garage rooftop, and in the Hilton's conference areas. It's almost impossible to miss out on the action in The Beverly Hilton on Golden Globes weekend, and there is a way for the public to be a part of it. ]]> cmb 2012-01-16T15:07:32-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/5/16/11431/1435

We have a little confession. When we rolled up to Beverly Hills yesterday, we came upon a TMZ Hollywood Tour bus, which just launched May 14, on Santa Monica Boulevard. Gossips that we are, we  craned our necks to see what was going on in windowless, half-full bus, and we caught a glimpse of a TV set showing Nic Cage's mug.

Alas, we were so busy gawking and trying to figure out if we were near a Nic Cage landmark (his home? his fave toupee shop? where he hides in shame for starring in the National Treasure films?) we didn't get a chance to snap a photo. But here's what the flashy red bus looks like.]]> Jennifer Kester 2011-05-16T12:12:17-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2010/4/23/24113/3808

Last night we attended the kick-off of BritWeek 2010 in Beverly Hills, an annual celebration of the accomplishments of Brits in the entertainment industry. Of course, the biggest thing on everyone's mind was the volcanic ash, and there were quite a few ashy jokes being passed around. But eventually folks carried on with the festivities, which included a special singing appearance by David Archuleta, who did a beautiful rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" as well as an acapella version of "Prayer for the Children," both of which we managed to record snippets.*

One of the major sponsors of BritWeek is Virgin Atlantic and thus Sir Richard Branson was trotted out on stage for a Frost/Nixon style interview, done with actor Michael Sheen who plays David Frost in the movie (he is also appearing this season on "30 Rock"). Frost...er, Sheen interviewed Branson on a wide range of topics from his start as an entrepreneur, to his thoughts on capitalism and even on plans for Virgin Galactic.

But the event wasn't entirely about patting chaps and mates on the back for their work in California...]]> juliana 2010-04-23T08:32:59-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2010/2/23/10349/0705

We're trying to expand our quest for a better doughnut outside the NYC area, so obviously, as when looking for all things fancified, we now turn to LA.

One of the dough(NOT DO!)nut shops we've heard the most buzz about is Frittelli's Doughnuts and Coffee, a Beverly Hills bakery with the chutzpah to serve what they call "designer doughnuts." With Swiss chocolate, Tahitian vanilla and fresh fruit filling, they certainly seem to be a step above the Dunk.

They've got high-quality takes on all the classics—strawberry-glazed, sugar-topped, and chocolate sprinkle—as well as more inventive flavors like green apple fritter, latte-glazed, and PB&J-filled. At $2 a pop, they're cheaper than the New York designer doughnuts, although some of the fanciest (think Callebaut Chocolate Glaze Bars Filled w/ Chocolate Bavarian Crème) top out at $3. Still, we think that Beverly Hills cops can probably still afford a dozen doughnuts here.

Any LA readers care to weight in? Is Frittelli's dough worth a trip to the 90210? Let us know in comments below.

"We have a new camera focused on the press, so try not to fall asleep," joked Michael Seligman, longtime Academy Awards producer in the waning minutes before this year's Oscar nominations were announced at 8:30 this morning. We're not actually in the room, but we're as restless as a basket of kittens over here. (Go Team Winslet!)
