Afterbuzz TV Neon Party & Baby's Sweet 16th Birthday Party

Rutherford and I had quite the weekend in July for the Afterbuzz TV Neon Party and then Baby's Sweet 16th Birthday Party!  Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro so graciously hosted all of us at their house for the annual Neon Party, and our other Producers set up the event as well!  Maria and Keven also had everyone over on Sunday for their dog, Baby's Sweet 16th Birthday Party, and Rutherford was able to attend the festivities with me!

It was a gorgeous weekend, albeit a little hot as it was over 90 in the Valley, but thankfully there was a pool at Maria & Keven's, cold beverages, and Coldstone for the Neon Party!  There was also BBQ, good people and a DJ to keep everyone on their feet.  Some of my co-hosts from 'Real Housewives of New York' and I caught up and I also got to meet some of our new hosts as well.  I had met Ryan before, but it was nice to see him and chat about Pokemon since the new app had just come out that weekend so it was before the madness began!

Phil had invited Rutherford and I to Baby's Sweet 16, and what a party it was!  It was great for Rutherford because he got to socialize with so many dogs at the party, big and small.  He became very friendly with a recently-rescued Pitbull, and while the Pitbull was a little unsure around other dogs, he and Rutherford became great friends and played together.  Maria had made some snacks from her new frozen food line that's coming out and they were delicious; there was plenty of food to go around, and also a snack bar of what looked like dog-friendly food, that was actually only for humans.  Of course, there were treats for the dogs as well and gift bags for everyone to take home.  Rutherford and I got some photos in the Photo Booth, and when Ashley arrived, we took some more with her and Winnie!

The Neon Party was a blast and Baby's Birthday was one of the best Birthday's I have ever been to.  Thanks to Maria, Keven, Phil, and our entire Afterbuzz TV family for bringing us all a little closer together that weekend.  It's great to see our friends succeed and get to celebrate our hard work :)

'This Isn't Funny' Movie Premiere

'This Isn't Funny' Premiere

Earlier this month, the Hosts at Afterbuzz were invited to the movie premiere for 'This Isn't Funny' which was produced by Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro, our Afterbuzz TV Founders, along with some other very talented people.  One of the taglines was 'Meeting the right person at the wrong time can be the best thing for you.'  I knew it was an Indie Comedy and looked fun and quirky so Katie (my 'Supernatural' Co-Host for the past two years) and I decided to attend the premiere!

Katie & I before the movie!

It was so cold that day and it was raining in LA but we bared that chilly Fall day and met up at the Crest Theater in Westwood for a few quick photos on the red carpet and then made our way into the theater.  'This Isn't Funny' was also directed by the main Actor, Paul Ashton, and the other main Actress, Katie Page, and they had also written the screenplay.  There were a few comedians in it as well as some recognizable actors, Mimi Rogers, Anthony LaPaglia, and Danielle Panabaker.  

It felt like the movie flew by...and before we knew it, I had laughed, felt some really heart-felt moments, cried, an open-ended semi-happy ending and then it was over.  It was super funny, quickly-paced, touching and something that most people can relate to, and was honest.  Paul and Katie had fabulous on-screen chemistry which made sense when we realized they were actually dating in real-life.  They are an adorable couple and have a fantastic movie on their hands.  You can actually buy it on iTunes now: This Isn't Funny on iTunes but I am so glad I was able to see it in the theater!  It stayed in the theater for a week and I really hope it did well, the cast and crew truly deserve it.

Not only was it a fun night out supporting our Afterbuzz family, Katie and I got to hang out together (finally) and see a great movie.  I'm so appreciative of all the opportunities Afterbuzz has brought my way and look forward to all the awesome events in the future :)

Pictures from Afterbuzz TV's Neon Party & Catalina!

I had so many fun pictures from our Afterbuzz TV Neon Party hosted by Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro that I had to post just a few more!  And Catalina was so beautiful, I wanted to share a couple more from that trip as well :)

Perfect day in Catalina :)

I'm loving the Summer here in sunny California!

Afterbuzz TV's Neon Party!

Afterbuzz TV has it's annual Neon Summer Party held at our Founder's, Maria Menounos & Keven Undergaro's house in July.  Now that I've been working at Afterbuzz since September and I'd been hearing about how epic last year's party was, I was really looking forward to it!

It was the perfect day, the sun was out, and as soon as I parked I could hear the music from down the street.  One of our Hosts, DJ Jesse Janedy was playing the tunes all day long.  He played perfect Summer Pool Party music that everyone was singing and dancing to; I was super impressed by his choice in music!  There were songs I hadn't heard since college but everyone remembered!  Love it.  The pool was filled by party-goers, there were Hot Dogs and Hamburgers coming off the grill, plenty of snacks, and two separate bars for cocktails and refreshments.

With Cortez & Ashida!

I was so happy to see Cortez and get to hang out with him and meet some of his fellow co-hosts and also English, since we had all worked on the 'Shahs Of Sunset' After Show together.  It was great to get to spend some time with Ashley and Stephanie from our 'Real Housewives of New York' After Show outside of Afterbuzz.  It's also nice to cut loose since we try to be as professional as possible when we're at the studio, and even though we have fun, we can all be ourselves and just enjoy a great party!

After saying hello to a few of my friends I made my way to get a drink and some food and saw Costas, Maria's Dad, whom I recognized from her book, 'The Every Girl's Guide to Diet and Fitness,' as well as her show, 'Chasing Maria.'  We had the cutest conversation about family and how important it is to be a good role model, and make sure that your children are happy.  He obviously wants grand kids and I could completely relate in knowing that my parents say the same thing to me all the time!

On top of over 200 of our Afterbuzz TV Hosts that were invited, all the guests that have been into our Studios were invited as well.  I talked to Leslie from 'Masterchef' as it's one of my favorite Cooking Shows currently on TV, and he's been known as the villain.  There was no villain present on that Saturday afternoon, as we were dressed in matching shades of orange and talked a little about cooking and also about his competitors.  I'm rooting for you, Leslie! 

Speaking of orange, Maria and I also matched, and she called me her Tangerine Twin.  It never ceases to amaze me at how generous and kind, she, Keven, her whole family, as well as our Afterbuzz Team are.  I love that I feel like I have support behind me, and while I know that my friends and family show that, hearing how Keven wants me to succeed, just makes me work even hard for it!  Thank you to Keven and Maria for creating an outlet for all of us to get a chance to do what we love, and know that not only do we believe we can achieve our dreams, but that you both do as well :)

With Afterbuzz TV Founder, Keven and Matt D'Andria from Motorator & CarCast :)

It was an awesome day and I'm lucky to know such incredible people and be able to work at a job I absolutely love!
