Turning 95 Should Always Be This Much Fun

Last night I had the honor of attending Jack LaLanne's 95th birthday party. The event was as glamorous as you can imagine complete with a red carpet entrance to the Beverly Wilshire hotel. The band was amazing and we danced and partied and mingled and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We didn't make it a late night because today I was up bright and early for a taping of The Doctors. I don't have an air date yet, but you know I will keep you posted. This has been one heck of a whirlwind of a week, but I've loved every minute of it... phewf!

Here are a few pictures from the event last night. Enjoy and Happy Friday!!

Jack and his lovely wife of 50 years, Elaine.


With the birthday boy himself.


My gown. I felt totally appropriate last night. My hair and make up were excellent. Thanks Nancy!


Forbes Riley, my extremely dapper husband, Robert, and me!


Lou Ferrigno and his wife, Carla.


Me & Montel Williams.


Arnold giving a special message. When he arrived at the event I gave him a peck on the cheek. I don't know what came over me.


Blowing out the candles on his cake! The happy couple followed this by singing to one another. What a fun night!

Portland, LA and Back... Pics!!

I think I've finally recovered from a VERY busy week of traveling. Home always feels so good after a long trip. My own bed, my own food, and my own family. Ahhh! I wanted to share some photos with you from the week. Enjoy!


With food stylist extraordinaire Kirsten Buchner at my AM Northwest appearance. She helps me work TV magic!! We were all snacking away on the Breakfast Cookies, Sloppy Joes, and Chicken Nuggests from the Eat-Clean Diet for Kids book.


Selecting from the delicious breakfast menu at Besaw's in Portland. Yummy!!!


Visiting Pittock Mansion... a Portland landmark... Look at that delicious Clean Eating pantry.


Me and my husband playing on the jungle gym near the Santa Monica Pier after my KTLA appearance. You can tell by my sweat suit that I was a little tired!


My daughter, Rachel, came in to stay with us for a day. Here we are in the hotel lobby before enjoying a little bit of dessert. Yes... dessert!


Enjoying one last LA coffee at Urth Caffe in Santa Monica before heading off to the airport. They gave me the WHOLE french press. Delicious... but I was jittering all the way to the airport!!

Best solution??

Hop on a plane to LA.

That's what me and my hubby did this week. Unfortunately, our foray into the golden state only lasted 1 day. We flew in on Tuesday evening, filmed all day on Wednesday, and flew home on Thursday afternoon. Boo!!!

That is not the best thing to do. All I wanted was to soak up the sun for just a few more minutes before heading back to snow country.

BUT the time I had in LA was great. I was really nervous to work with the team from Extra. I was lying in bed on Tuesday night worrying away about how the day would go. Would they think I was unprofessional? Would I mess up? Would it not be interesting enough? All these things kept me up. When the day finally arrived and I started things went much more smoothly than I thought. We actually had a lot of fun. The feedback was great, too. I guess my work with Naomi producing the series for The W Network gave me a lot of practice. I felt totally at ease.

The show will air on March 7th. It is part of Extra's Ambush Lifestyle Makeovers. We ambushed a teen with diabetes. It was a really great day with an excellent message. I'll give you more details closer to the date.

Next time I am hoping to show Mario Lopez a few things in the gym!

Have a great weekend everyone.

On My Way Across the Country

Hey Bloggers,

Happy Monday to you. I am on my way to Denver, Colorado for a few meetings before heading to LA to film a bunch of stuff for Extra on Wednesday. Home again on Thursday. I will keep you posted on the Extra air date. In the meantime, here is a link to an interview I did the other day for a local AM radio station here in Ontario. It's one of my favorite stations! Enjoy and welcome to another great week!
