I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.
When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."
B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.
I hated her.
Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.
WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?
Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?
Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.
I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.

Duets co-host Robin Thicke and his 2-year-old son Julian were all smiles in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Friday (May 25). The adorable duo picked up some groceries and fresh flowers at their local Bristol Farms. As they left the store, Julian threw his arms up in the air while the Magic crooner toted his sweet tot and pushed the buggy.
Last week, Robin kicked off the Good Morning America summer concert series with a performance outside the ABC morning show?s studio in New York. The soulful singer opened his live performance with All Tied Up, a track from his most recent album, 2011?s Love After War.

Back on the west coast after a Memorial Day weekend flight, Ashley Greene was spotted arriving into LAX Airport in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday (May 26).
The Alice Cullen actress showed off her tanned and toned gams in a pair of short shorts as she shuffled out of the busy terminal upon returning to Tinseltown following a relaxing getaway in her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.
The travels come just days after the theatrical trailer for Miss Greene's new movie "The Apparition" was released on the web.
In the new horror/thriller, a couple becomes haunted by a supernatural presence that is unleashed during a college experiment. After realizing that there is no place to run from the apparition, the couple turns to a supernatural expert to hopefully save them in time.
The supernatural flick, which also stars Sebastian Stan and Tom Felton, is set to hit theaters August 24th.

Having wrapped up her time overseas, Kristen Stewart made her way back to the States as she arrived into LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon (May 26).
The casually clad "Twilight" actress offered up a small smile as she passed through the metro terminal after having made the long flight from France following her publicity efforts at the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival.
During her time in Cannes, Miss Stewart spoke with numerous media outlets while dishing about her movies "On The Road" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" - with the latter set to hit theaters on June 1st.
Of her role as fairy tale character Snow White, Kristen expressed her distaste for having to spend so much time atop a horse, as she dished, "Riding a horse was the worst part of the movie. The dynamic between horse and rider is not for me."
The 22-year-old added, "I'll happily watch a horse run around a pasture, I'll even run with him but I hate riding horses. But it's cool to watch people genuinely uncomfortable on screen."

Tying up some loose ends before the holiday weekend, Jessica Alba tended to a meeting at her office in Santa Monica, California this afternoon (May 25).
Always fashionable no matter what the occasion, the "Spy Kids" actress donned some pretty aqua-toned sunnies, cream blazer with matching scarf, coral jeans, suede booties and brown leather handbag.
Earlier in the week Miss Alba attended the OC Walk to Remember luncheon, of which her company, The Honest Company, partnered.
The event helped to raise money for local organizations that support parents who have endured miscarriages, pregnancy loss or infant loss.

Go see Captain America this weekend! Support our Colin!
I went to the premiere on Tuesday and it was the coolest thing ever. First, the movie is AMAZING and Chris Evans is a superstar. Second, there were so many damn people there it was insane. I have been to movie premieres in New York before and they were nothing like this. I mean, they closed down Hollywood Boulevard. I would've taken photos to show you, but the invite said to leave phones in the car. But here's a photo of me in my cool Captain America 3D glasses:
(Sit down, stop jumping around, it's an awesome picture, I know. And the quality is amazing. It's not grainy or reddish... it's perfect.) (No, it's not.)
(And you can totally see the Captain America logo on the side of the glasses.) (No, you can't.)
Anyway, Captain America is pulling a strong 71% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now so GO SEE IT! IT'S FANTASTIC!

Pulling together to promote their latest film, Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey and Lee Daniels were spotted sitting down for an interview during the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on Friday (May 25).
At the press table, the four talented actors made an appearance on the French channel Canal+ "Le Grand Journal" to talk about their film, "The Paperboy", which follows a reporter who returns to his hometown in Florida to investigate a case involving a death row inmate.
Kidman, who had her husband Keith Urban at her side for the event, admitted that due to budget issues she helped create the image of her character, Charlotte Bless.
"I actually went into my own bathroom -- this is so true - - and I got out the fake tan and put on lashes that were old," said Kidman, wearing a sleeveless orange dress and diamante hairpins. "And then I got out a hairpiece thing, and it was platinum."
Kidman added, "I threw it all on, and I took a photo and texted it to Lee, all different provocative positions".
The film is expected to hit theaters on November 14, 2012.
