After having had California Dreams since Childhood, I was incredibly honoured to be invited as the lone  English-speaking Blogger in Canada to cover the inaugural Canada’s Stars of the Awards Season Gala in Beverly Hills. I am pleased to be a part of its history and hope again to be a part of this prestigious affair honouring Canadian accomplishments in Television and Cinema.
Of course, all work and no play makes Mr. Will a dull Boy and in my three-day stay in California, I made sure no moment was wasted, fully seeing and eating everything possible! Whether it be In-N-Out Burger, Pinkberry, Coffee at the amazing Urth Caffe or Chilaquiles. Â My tastebuds truly were rocked!
One other thing is for sure – those of us in Toronto sure are spoiled by our Transit System. I couldn’t imagine commuting through Los Angeles without a friendly Cab Driver or some of the lovely Los Angelinos whom I met who were happy to give me a lift! I love my Stars and sure got an eye full and if it weren’t for persistent rain, I am positive the likelihood of seeing more would’ve been greater.
Los Angelinos surely aren’t shy about their aversion to rain. The Celebrity-Spotting Culture certainly is alive and well – if anything I find Toronto folks far more aggressive. This coming from someone who knows his share of being slammed into and/or clipboarded in the head!
Here are some of the Stars (including Kate Beckinsale, Florence Henderson (!), Elisabeth Rohm, Odette Annable, Vera Farmiga, Max Thierot and several more) we spotted around town even with persistent rain and time constraints:
See you soon again Cali! Next time we go even harder!
