Celebrities

Before moving to LA I wondered what all the fuss what about. Why, exactly, do so many people think it's so awful here...so full of such lame people? I've finally come to the decision that it's all about the celebrities. There are plenty of normal people here - smart and stupid alike. But I'm starting to think the bad name Los Angeles has is all thanks to the "stars."

Last night at the Avalon Peaches played. OF COURSE Lindsey Lohan decided she needed to attend. When I worked in NY she occasionally just showed up at venues expecting to be let in and usually was after a little bit of a hassle. Why people cater to her amazes me. She doesn't seem to be particularly nice, smart, or even considerate of other human beings. And yet - she makes a phone call an hour before the show last night and expects to be accomdated for free with about 5 of her friends. People scambled every which way to find her comps before finally saying nope...she'll just have to buy some tickets. After SO much drama she decided she was too tired to come. Unfortunately we had already charged her credit card and as we all know - no refunds or exchanges. HA!!! Also, on my drive to work I heard on the radio that she has been taking strip aeorbics with her mother here in LA and is reported to have not had a drink in 7 entire days. I would imagine those two things greatly contributed to her tiredness last night. Poor thing.

All of this drama was made alright when my favorite person ever (on tv) came up to my window. Adam Brody! Wah! He was clearly nice enough to request a guest list spot ahead of time and handed me his ID like a normal guy. Thank you, Adam Brody, for acting like a decent human being.

I hope this is a lesson to you, Miss Lohan. Act like an ass and be charged for tickets you don't use - act like a good kid and I just might exchange your general admission tickets for a nice box with a booth to put your feet up in.
