Stanley Kubrick Exhibit At LACMA

In Los Angeles, we are lucky enough to enjoy the best of filmmaking with movie studios, award shows, and film premieres.  Over the last five months, there has been an incredible exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) honoring the work of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. It runs through June 30 and it has been on my list all winter long.

I finally made it out to the museum on Sunday and I have to tell you, it was worth the wait. The exhibit featured Kubrick's works from The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Spartacus, and more. From famous movie props to a look at his use of music in film, it was a fascinating perspective of his mindset as a creator. The exhibit easily eclipsed the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA from several years ago.

If you happen to be in LA over the next few months, make this exhibit a priority. Tickets are $20 or free for members of the museum. For more information, visit the LACMA website.

Enjoy the photos of my day with Stanley Kubrick:

 Stanley loved chess...notice how often he features the game in his movies.

 Shelley Duvall was good with a knife.

Kubrick's famous monolith. Roger Ebert can tell you all about it here.

AfterBuzz TV Week 4 DWTS Preview

What did you guys think of last night's DWTS show?  The competition is definitely stepping it up! Suri and I appreciate all of your comments, so we made a fun little video addressing some of your feedback from Week 3. If you haven't seen it yet, you can watch it below:



There is one thing I want to address that was not in the video...placement of the guests in the studio.  We have added to our panel and Jake DuPree and Anna Trebunskaya have done a tremendous job with their thoughts and opinions. It is nice to have an uncensored pro who tells it like it is and who can explain why certain things happened they way they did.  With four of us on the panel, that means our guests are on the couch.  It is set up like Howard Stern's show. Click here to see an example.

It is not a slight, it is designed to give the guests maximum exposure while we interview them and it creates a clean camera angle for the crew to shoot them.  Please understand that while we are the faces of the AfterBuzz TV show, there are many who work tirelessly behind the camera to make this show happen.  We want to make it the best show possible for all of you. If you have feedback that I cannot address or you want to take it to the executive producer level, email here: info@afterbuzztv.com

Hanging under the Levitated Mass at LACMA

How was your weekend?  I had a busy, but relaxing weekend hitting one of my favorite restaurants in LA, Susan Feniger's Street, seeing The Croods, and adventuring over to LACMA for the Stanley Kubrick exhibit. I will share photos of the exhibit later in the week.

In the meantime, here are all of my media spots from last week:

AfterBuzz TV: If you are looking for last week's episode and the announcement of this week's guests, click here for photos, info, and more.



It's A Wrap:  Clevver Movies host Erin Darling invited me to chat about the latest movie hot topics, so I joined the discussion on Evil Dead with Ryan Turek and Joshua Ovenshire...and read the comments. I guess a few people liked my blue shoes...ah, YouTube comments.

Cocktails and Conversation:  I was back with my ladies for a full hour this time and we discussed everything from Halle Berry's pregnancy to Kim Kardashian's fashion choices to Amanda Bynes' breakdown. (I think there are some undiagnosed mental issues happening here, so I don't want to make light of her situation.) Listen to the episode here.

Shooting my latest Kia commercials last week.

The Radio Dish:  Dishing with my Kansas City gals, I give the inside scoop on what is happening with The Tonight Show host swap and who is taking Jimmy Fallon's old spot. Listen in at the 21:00 mark here.

SheKnows: Some of my favorite stories from last week!
Finding Nemo gets a long-awaited sequel--Who doesn't love Dory?
Ryan Lochte models his career after Kim Kardashian's--Help us all!

Media Mondays

What a week it was! I hope everyone is recovering from chocolate bunny gluttony and surviving the pranks of April Fool's Day today. I have one long-standing April Fool's joke with an old friend that involves the number 967-5309.  We used to send that number each year on our pagers. Yes, I said pagers.

Last week was a big, busy media week for me from LA to New York. Here's where you can find all of my media appearances from last week:

Big Morning Buzz with Carrie Keagan:  The highlight of my New York trip was appearing on the panel for the VH1 show. You know how much I love talking about entertainment hot topics, so this was an ideal day for me. We talked about poor Kim Kardashian and her pregnancy fashion choices and more. For more photos from the day, check out my Facebook page.

Hyundai with Tom Colicchio:  As a fan of food and Top Chef, this was a winning combination for me last week at the New York Auto Show. I hosted the live stream for Hyundai again and I had the opportunity to interview the famed chef.  All of the scoop is here.

Tom Barnard Podcast:  We talk about Jay Leno being a jerk, James Franco is boob obsessed and we were desperately looking for Louie Anderson from ABC's Splash. It was a funny show. Listen here.

Driving with Gass: I didn't know he was archiving the show! Yay!  Here's the scoop on the ShamWow guy having the worst selling movie of the week. Yes, the ShamWow guys directs.  Listen here.

Dancing with the Stars:  We had on Anna Trebunskaya! It is turning out to be a great season, much better than the All-Star season. If you missed our show, I posted it here last week.

The Radio Dish:  I join in at the 18:00 mark. We dish about the Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton's fun marriage, Dionne Warwick's bankruptcy, and Independence Day sequels.
