WWW.YOUTUBE.COM

YOUTUBE is all the rage on the Internet and I for one think it is FABULOUS!

What a great idea! There are tons and tons of footage from shows, music videos, celebrity clips and home videos posted for your viewing pleasure (You can waste hours and hours of your life watching the most randomly, intriguing shit). It’s truly fantastic. You can even set up a profile like on Myspace (I haven’t done this yet) and post all your home videos, meaningless footage or attempts at movie making.

Recently, I spent some time (ok… like a million hours) perusing the site and was surprised at the random old footage I found of my mom, my family and even of me! I love that you can borrow the clip and add it to your myspace, blog or website. It’s really fun! I wanted to share some of my favorite clips that I found with yoU.

Having grown up with cameras and paparazzi all around, someone is always capturing random moments in my own history. I have a terrible memory, but this one I actually remember. Rhonda was obviously the break out star from the start, but I made a good effort. I was always the shy one growing up (though I have finally broken out of my shell, I am still the quietest in the family). My grandmother passed away in 1985, so this clip is extra close to my heart. It makes me smile whenever I watch it. (Fast forward to 1:30 and enjoy my singing debut)!



My first grade class got to go sing on the steps of Sesame Street with my mom (I’m sitting next to TRACEE on the bench). We were all so excited, but once we got there it was kinda traumatic. There is a man inside Big Bird and two inside Snuffelufigus! I know, it’s still kinda shocking and now I have ruined the mystic of the show for you too ;) I love the song that my mom is singing. It’s a lesson that she always instilled in us. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!



My first hosting gig ever was a pilot in Jacksonville, FL, which appeared locally on the WB. This is where I found my passion and my talent for hosting.



If you have read my blog before, you know I love Fashion Weeks. Rocco (the handsome host of Fashion News Live) and I seem to bump into each other so often that we have become friends. This clip is from Miami Fashion Week and I think it is FABULOUS (funny) and shows my real personality!



Sometimes I host segments for Young Hollywood (www.younghollywood.com) which is a fantastic website geared at the behind the scenes (and positive side) of celebrity. All their segments (mine in particular) are fun and light. This one, I think turned out really well. Hollywood’s fist ever HIV Initiative where many African American celebrities came out to publicly take an HIV test to encourage others to get tested as well. KNOW YOUR STATUS AND GET TESTED!



This is another segment from Young Hollywood that was super fun to film. At the Celebrity Catwalk, I got to interview many cool celebs at the end of the red carpet. It’s actually really hard to grab people as they rush past, but luckily I am friends with some of them (and can be kinda loud) so they were nice enough to stop for me. (It’s actually a lot harder to interview some one you know, then a complete stranger). It was fun chatting with the Kardashians (Kim and her sisters who are the new stars of an E! reality show), getting sex appeal advice from Jenna Jameson (The very sexy, tiny porn star) and fashion tips from Kendra Wilkinson (Hugh Heffner’s sporty girlfriend and star of E! Girls Next Door).



This clip has nothing to do with me personally, but I think it is FABULOUSLY FUNNY (and JT is a hottie). If you haven’t seen it, here is the infamous “DICK IN A BOX”!



YOUTUBE is FABULOUS website and one that will entertain you for hours and hours on end. If you haven’t checked it out, do so and thanks for checking out my clips too!

Saw those videos on You Tube! Delightful! Are you amazed at how much of your life is on the web? That video "D***in a Box" is one of my favorites. It made me laugh so hard I cried the first time I saw it on SNL

Chudney--every weekend I type in your Mom- Diana Ross-- on You Tube and to see if any new videos have been posted. There are some diamonds on You Tube. I love the Ain't No Mountain High Enough from Day 2 Central Park in '83 and Dirty Looks--that video is Soooo... good. I can't get enough of your Mom. We need her to tour here in LA again--Pasadena Civic Auditorium would be fab!!
