Driven to Distraction

I have dreams and goals and stuff to do around the house. These are the things this week that kept me from getting to any of it.

Celebrity Swag Bag ... Sundance Edition

Hey Outzoners! I regret how MIA I’ve been lately as I’ve been dealing with pinched nerve in my neck—the C7 to be specific—and it’s, well, a pain in the neck, arm and index finger. I may end up getting surgery, in which case I’ll make sure to blog while I’m on drugs like Rosie appears to do. Haiku, here I come!

I also had to finish filing my Sundance story for Hollywood Life magazine. They sent me there, after all, to interview everyone and their dog, except Winona Ryder. Winona’s not talking.

I’m putting together a Sundance wrap-up blog to share with you next week. In the meantime, here’s a little tease from a piece I wrote on Celebs and Swag for the current issue of Hollywood Life. The premise is basically, that a lot of the crap stars get in gift baskets goes unused or given to the housekeeper. I think this is unfortunate so I came up with a celeb swag bag full of stuff that stars could actually use.


Some of the below items made the magazine and some got cut…either for space, legal reasons or simply because they’re not that funny. Judge for yourself.

So here’s some of my celeb-friendly swag stuff that made the cut:
