My week: I’m breaking up with karma, she’s a bitch
I was a great believer in karma. I trusted it to get the bad guys in the end. But you know what: she who is meanest and dirtiest wins, and I don't see any consequences. What else explains my month of disaster while the mean girls thrive? Last week one of my enemies (sadly I've... Continue Reading →
HouseGoesHollywood: weddings, babies and $4.5million closets
Ironically I was in Los Angeles last week for work and totally out of touch with what was happening in Hollywood. Here's what I missed ... >> Anne Hathaway is selling her Brooklyn apartment (below).
