Miss California’s Designs For The Hills

by The Editors on June 19, 2009

Msg-124535485072-3Miss California Tami Farrell was just one of the celebrities to get play at Billabong’s Design For Humanity event at Avalon on June 17, 2009. But the focus was not on surfing or saving the environment. She had words of advice for The Hills’ Stephanie Pratt.

“I think with all of the pressure with her family and the fame and all of the things that are always going on with them and the cameras, [the story is] just a reminder to get outside from all of that, focus on the actual reality, not the scripted reality and see that she’s a beautiful young girl,” said Farrell.

Luckily, we have no idea what she is talking about.

Dyrdek’s Celebrity Blog Grandslam

by The Editors on June 15, 2009

95506 John-Mayer-Helps-Skateboarder-Pal-Rob-Dyrdek-After-A-Rough-Night-At-Myhouse-In-Hollywood-On-June-14-2009-1The celebrity blogs are all over a reported rough night out with Rob Dyrdek and John Mayer (which is funny in and of itself). Access Hollywood said:

After partying too hard at LA’s MyHouse, the friends ended up in hospital, where Rob had his stomach pumped. “In triage at Cedars with @robdyrdek. When the contents of his stomach hit that silicon bag and we all saw it, we just broke into appluse,” John Tweeted

The truth maybe else where. Now, PopEater.com says the whole thing was a prank according to People Magazine. Rob certainly knows how to do work.
