HOLY SMOKES! INO Will Be Featured On CBS Tomorrow At 5
OK, I am seriously going to pass out today. And I'm not even joking. A CBS crew just left my FREAKING house and I am going to be on the news tomorrow at 5! I AM DYING. The camera man made me do some things in the living room and kitchen. So thank GOODNESS I put stuff away. :)
They said I am going to be the featured story which means all day they will say, "Tune in at 5 to learn about I'm Not Obsessed". Dying...
And I wanted to show you a new shot from my Newsday story today. They also put another picture online of me. CRAZY.
INO In NY Newsday!!
I'm DYING! I woke up this morning and I felt that today was the day it would get printed. And it did! For the past two weeks, I've been biting my nails waiting for it to come out. Click here to read what they said. I wish they had a picture online, but they don't. It was a page and a half in the feature section. Yeah!!
OMG -- Channel 2 News is coming to interview me today!!
Six Billion Paths To Peace Gala
I had the honor of being invited to attend Shinnyo-en's Six Billion Paths to Peace gala and have walked away a changed woman. As usual, I got a little teary eyed during the ceremony - I swear I need to be put on medication. Even had a little chat with Mira Sorvino who swore up and down I was evil. I wanted to scream, "Lady, I'm a mom of two and am on your side!" but instead just kept reassuring her I was there with good intentions.So Shinnyo-en is an organization dedicated to bring about and promote peace. At first, I thought to myself about how broad (and impossible) their mission was. But then I realized that it really can be that simple. If everyone did a few small things a day, imagine what a world of difference it would make. I swear by the time dessert was coming out, I was thinking up names for my new non-for-profit. Ok, I am exaggerating... but only slightly. :)Four people were honored tonight:
-- Morgan Freeman, Academy Award-winning actor and founder of PLAN!T NOW (an initiative supporting victims of and regions affected by natural disasters)
-- Mira Sorvino, Academy Award-winning actress and supporter of Amnesty International
-- Marc Ecko, fashion designer and founder of Sweat Equity Enterprises-- Brett Hickey, founder of Acorn Charities
(I was part of the paparazzi line)
And I just want to say something about Mira. Many actresses fall victim to their beauty. And when I say that, I'm not talking about the ones who say it's so HARD to make it in the industry because they are so pretty. I'm talking about women like Mira Sorvino, whose charitable efforts and educational background go unnoticed because of how beautiful she is. Mira's passion lies with the victims of Darfur and as she spoke, I did everything I could to not cry. Because these terrible things are occurring right now in different parts of the world - and it's so easy to forget. Attending this gala made me remember that we each have a responsibility to do something. And I'm going to start doing what I can.

Yes, another heart over my face. I am telling you - I get crazy eyes when I take pictures with celebrities. This picture had the SAME EXACT look as when I met Carmen Electra. I don't know what is UP with me.UPDATE: I got a TON of emails asking me why Mira thought I was evil. It's because I told her I wrote a celebrity gossip blog. And then she started to D-R-I-L-L me on my intentions of being there and how I was going to cover the story. I kept saying, "No, my site is nice! It's PG. I never say anything mean!". But I really don't think she believed me. Then whoever she was with said that they are going to come to the site and see if I was for real.It was an interesting exchange. I was basically defending myself the entire time... but I guess she has one thought about how gossip sites are run and she really couldn't believe that I was PG and friendly.
Alicia Keys For Dove
Last night I attended a Dove event in NYC and had to share the new things I've learned. Dove is coming out with a brand new line focused on 20 somethings (and us gals who just left the 20 somethings...) that features some amazing scents.* Cool* Energize* RefreshThis newest campaign was created to combat our critical voice, you know that sound inside your head that is always telling you you're not enough. As they were discussing the conception of their newest venture, I almost started to cry because I am so guilty of that! Always thinking I should be doing more, being more, achieving more. Instead of just appreciating where I am in my life and who I've become as an adult. So once again, I am backing Dove 100% and will do whatever they need me to in order to spread the word.
Alicia Keys has also signed on as part of Dove's new mini series called Fresh Takes that will air in between The Hills. The first 3 minute spot will air during the season premiere. Here is the trailer. So be sure to watch The Hills (as if you weren't going to anyway right? :) ) to see part 1 of 5.I'm going to do a follow up on this post to include all the URL's owned by the women who attended on the Beauty portion of my site.

Exclusive: My Interview With Catherine Adair
I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Catherine Adair (center with blue scarf), the in house stylist for Desperate Housewives. I had the interview digitally taped. But since it was my first time using a recorder, I didn't take into account the background noise rendering the footage unusable. I will however summarize what Cate said regarding Spring trends and the Desperate Housewives themselves.
Also invited were several women running or writing their own online sites. Starting from the left we have the following websites represented:
