How 7 LA natives celebrate in Las Vegas for Labor Day
What do you get when 7 girls have a hugeee suite in Sin City? (too bad you won't find out !) Normally, I wouldn't EVER go to Vegas on a holiday weekend, but this was an exception, as one of my best friends is basically the Eloise of the Palazzo and Venetian Hotels.... a.k.a we are royally hooked up ! Most pictures taken aren't for our eyes only ......but below is a mini photo diary! Friday First time ever driving to Vegas...Ms. Lerman got us there in under 4 hours! Dinner at [...]
Jeffrey Best, Wagstaff PR, Food and Wine Magazine put on Inaugural Taste of Beverly Hills
Ugh. Labor Day has come and gone, and with it the reminder that summer is now over. Judging from the gray skies and even a constant drizzle out in the Bu today, the Tuesday after Labor Day, it was as if the Earth was saying, “Time to get back to work!” Because of this, Labor Day is generally as anticlimactic and overhyped as its counterpart Fourth of July, which generally marks the start of summer. On both days, the most popular option among our friends is either Vegas (Lauren) or [...]
Just Two Girls Going to the Emmys
Rachel has been bombed by Mercury retrograde and I haven't been able to concentrate because my book agent called this morning but we finally got around to reporting on our Emmy's 2010 trip ... The whole lobby scene at the Emmys is the reason I've always gone back year after year. It's my fav time to run into old favs-from the Letterman writers I worked for in college to the actors like John Krasinski who interned with me at Conan! And everyone back there is aware and trying to ignore the [...]

Joaquin Phoenix Friends and Family at the Sunset Towers
I don't need much of an excuse to go to the Sunset Towers but Tuesday was a no brainer. My friend invited me up to hear from Heart Phoenix *(founder of The Peace Alliance and mother of Rain, Joaquin, River, Summer and Liberty) talk about her life's work and new act in the U.S. House and Senate under her charity The Peace Alliance. All of Heart's children including Joaquin Phoenix (no beard) were there to watch and be proud. Casey Affleck and his wife Summer Affleck (aka Summer Phoenix) [...]

ET Emmys 2010 Party
Hollywood stopped and stared this weekend as the biggest night in Television took place. TV Execs and starlets alike made mad dashes to much-anticipated parties like the Governor’s Ball and HBO all over town. I was particularly excited about Entertainment Tonight’s Emmy bash. I like a party where Andy Gelb is in charge - his guest lists are notoriously tight, so his parties (and that of Slate PR where he transferred after his event reign at PMK/HBH) look like an IMDB cast page … [...]
TOLDJA!! BRAVO finally announces the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!!
As many of you know, The Daily Truffle is written by a bunch of friends who grew up together in Beverly Hills. So of course it has been common knowlege on the "street" for quite some time this show was happening! We were even asked to help cast it and suggested many of the women who were in the final 10!! Bravo choose 6 of those 10: Adrienne Maloof (who we know as the Maloof's sister who throws the best Christmas party in town) Kyle & Kim Richards (who we know as Nicky & Paris [...]
Could You be a Real Housewife from Beverly Hills? Take the Quiz and Find Out!!
You know you could, would or should be a REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills if .... 1. You have gotten drunk with Pepe at the Polo Lounge. 2. You know who Pepe is. 3. You order truffle eggs benedict at the Beverly Wilshire – even though it costs more than the steak. 4. You will only go to the Cedars emergency room, since you have donated there, or know someone who has. 5. You do not eat anywhere NEW unless the chef there is from a very OLD restaurant. 6. You know exactly [...]
Bianca’s Beautiful L.A. – Newest Lingerie Store on the Block!
"Intimacy" now in Los Angeles has found it's home at the Century City Westfield Mall. I had the pleasure of getting custom fitted for a bra by the super famous (appeared on the Oprah show like 5 times!! yes the big O is a BIG fan) Susan Nethero, the founder, the visionary, chief fit strategist aka the bra whisperer...Susan is a dream! I came with my sister Maggie, who was on summer vacation from Columbia University, and we both had such a great time with Susan- chatting and getting fit [...]

Kimvo Salon at the Montage in Beverly Hills – My New Favorite Place!
I met Russell and Kimvo - the team behind the KIMVO salons - at a Chanel pre-fall fashion show at Saks 5th Avenue (here in Beverly Hills). They told me they recently opened up a salon inside the newly built Montage hotel just down the street from my house on Burton Way. The Montage - which is located on Canon & Wilshire has already become my home away from home as it's the first and only hotel that won the Mobile Awards within two months of opening - a massive exception because they usually [...]

LIVE! from the Kari Feinstein Emmys Style Lounge – DAY 1, DAY 2
Bonjourno trufflers!! Kari Feinstein and Mike McGuiness are setting up shop right now for their Pre-Emmys Style Lounge in Beverly Hills. As people close to the core may know Kari is the originator of the pre-awards show beauty and pampering parties. Having known and grown up with Kari (and even working for her) I have watched the other swag and beauty suites pop up over the years trying to pinch her style. The coolest thing about Kari and her partner Mike McGuiness (besides having attendees [...]
The M Word (as in Muslim!! Shhh …)
By, Dr. Nooshin Razani I guess you could call me a Muslim-American, although under normal circumstances I’d deny it -- or any other label. If I had to be summed up in a word, I’d prefer mother, pediatrician, or if I was lucky enough, artist. As such, I tried hard to ignore the Ground Zero Muslim mosque-or-is-it-a-community-center thing. Like many of my peers, I’m currently obsessed with sustainability: my to do list includes a neighborhood garden, standing up for green and [...]
Ready for a New Gangster movie?? Vincent Cassel & Gérard Depardieu Star in MESRINE This Weekend
32 Bank hiests, 4 Top seciruty jails, 4 prison breaks ... this film already was out in France last summer and people have called it "the French Scarface" and an "an instant gangser classic". This is a rad looking film about real-life French criminal Jacques Mesrine (1936–1979) who was also briefly active in the United States and Québec. He committed numerous burglaries, jewelery shop and bank robberies, kidnappings, and also took part in arms smuggling. He killed many people, and boasted to [...]

Best Buddies Hamptons Gala – Anne Hearst, Anthony Shriver, Jay McInerney, Tatiana & Campion Platt
It's the 3rd Annual Hamptons Gala of Best Buddies at the home of Anne Hearst (board member of Best Buddies) and writer Jay McInerney (Bright Lights Big City) who I met last week at Author's Night and in their foyer I'm greeted by two people in elaborate traditional Southeast Asian attire. Their straw hats point forward as they bow and their festive purple and gold satin ceremonial dress shimmers in the light. I have magically been transported... We move past them and make our way to a [...]
Mark Hunter & Havaianas’ Midnight Swim – Jack Osbourne, Devon Aoki, Nicky Hilton, David Arquette, etc.
The hottest night this weekend came courtesy of the sexiest flip flop maker around. Havaianas teamed up with friend of the Truffle, Mark Hunter and together cooled down partygoers with the third in their series of Midnight swims. I hear the two before this were at a house in Beverly Hills (and was attended by Nicky Hilton, Kevin Connolly, Shenae Grimes and Elijah Wood) and then again in Malibu (at David Arquette's, who kindly volunteered his pool to the midnight swim cause, some guests [...]
