Meadow Stevens America's Sweetheart

Meadow at The Golden Globes...

2010-01-21T15:02:00.000-08:00

Hi Dolls!

I know it's been too long, and i've been horribly M.I.A. Do forgive me my lovelies! I've been dodging the papparazzi since I returned to Meadowfair from back east. But no, I haven't pulled a Heidi Montag! No nips or tucks for me (but to each her own... everyone knows my BFF Farrah has had some minor "adjustments"). Frankly, I've just been feeling icky and who wants to be seen when they've got bedhead and gunk in their eyes? It might seem like a glamorous life, but make no mistakes... this is a JOB! Nevertheless, it IS still fun and I do love to make a fabulous head-turning appearance, which is one of the many reasons (besides shamelessly flirting with Gerard Butler) why I had such a great time at the Golden Globes this past Sunday. I wore a fabulous Zac Posen gown, Roger Vivier pumps, a CC Skye Triple Layer Mesh Necklace, and a Blu Bijoux White Techno Bangle.

Now back to hibernation (you'll find out why soon dolls!)

P.S. Gerry (that's Gerard) and Jennifer Aniston are sooo not dating (and I would know. *wink*) It's called PR.

I Need Advice: New Year's Gems!

2010-01-21T14:59:00.000-08:00

Hello Dolls!

Happy happy happy New Year. Can you believe it's the end of the decade already? Where did all the time go? Feels like it was just Y2k! The QT thriller has wrapped and I'm finally back in Meadowfair. It's nice to be home and all, but all work and no play makes Meadow a dull girl indeed. I am sooo ready to ring in the new year! The gang's all going to Rico's much-hyped soiree at Hyde and it's going to be (in his words) "jumping." I've got the most amazing body con Herve Leger bandage dress and I need some chic accessories to make the look POP. I need advice, dolls! These Marc by Marc Jacobs Sparkle Studs Earrings or a Blu Bijoux Turquoise Bubbles Cuff?

Help!

Merry Christmas Mom!

2010-01-21T14:58:00.000-08:00

I'm. In. Denial.

It's officially winter and the Holidays are right around the corner! Actually, they're now. Like, almost upon us in the scariest of ways. Not SCARY scary, in a "Nightmare Before Christmas" kind of way but in the "I can't believe 2009 is quite nearly over" way. I'm in DC shooting with QT, which is nothing short of awesome, but I do wish I could be with my fam in Iowa right now. Mom's sad I can't be home so she's refusing to admit that she misses me, insisting that she's glad she doesn't have to overcompensate for my "sub-par cooking skills!" Since she won't have me around, I decided to dazzle her with my superior taste in jewelry. These affordable 14 kt Diamond and Gold Earrings are reminiscent of a pair my grandmother had when my Mom was a little girl. Merry Christmas Mom. I love you!

My Early Christmas Gift (s)!

2010-01-21T14:56:00.000-08:00

Hi Dolls!

Had a wonderful time at home in Iowa for Thanksgiving but sadly, I can't make it back for the winter holidays. I'll be on location in Washington D.C. working on a new, currently untitled, thriller with *drumroll please* QT! Yes, THAT QT. I'm so excited about this new development (literally just got off the phone with my agent and manager) that I'm absolutely OK with missing the holidays back home. I'm not going to get homesick. I repeat... I'm NOT going to get homesick. *sniff*. OK, I can't lie... I'm sad that I can't visit my family. But I'll be fine... it doesn't hurt that my dear Aunt Vivian already mailed me this gorgeous Kate Spade Cluster Ring as an early Christmas gift. It's super cute and is totally "Meadow," plus she didn't have to spend a fortune... Love you Aunt Viv! Wish me luck in the capital.

Till next time lovelies

Meadow

Home For The Holidays!

2010-01-21T14:54:00.000-08:00

Hello Lovelies!

I am so excited about Thanksgiving I can barely contain myself! It's been such a long time since I've been back home to Iowa for the holidays. My grandmother, Mother, and I have been grocery shopping up a storm and it feels so good to just be "normal" Meadow for a bit, instead of MEADOW STEVENS...."Movie Star." They treat me just like any other family member. That's right dolls, Meadow Stevens washes dishes AND takes out the trash! How's that for all those journalists who accuse me of not being down to earth?! All jokes aside, there's soooo much for me to be thankful for this year.

I first arrived to Iowa a bit on the stressed side, worrying myself crazy about my next film. As we sat on our front porch drinking hot cocoa, Mother gave me this Blu Bijoux Peace Tranquility Cuff and I was instantly reminded of how everything always works out like it's meant to. Thanks Mom!

Happy Thanksgiving dolls! Till next time!

Meadow

Inspired by Lady Gaga at MOCA!

2010-01-21T14:51:00.000-08:00

Hiya Dolls!

All is blissful in Meadowfair (for once, right?! I know). Your sweetheart... that would be me, Meadow (*smile*) has been getting inspired by the world around her. Yes, I know I'm speaking in third person, but that's just how unlike myself I feel at the moment. Film is my chosen medium, but I attended that amazing MOCA event and was absolutely blown away by the paintings and sculptures... Not to mention Lady Gaga's INSANE performance with the Russian ballet. Although I truly admire her artistry, I usually feel like her style is a bit out there for my personal taste. But I don't know... there was something magical in the air that night. It dawned on me that every now and again Meadow needs a little bit of "gaga like" craziness to shake things up! That's why I just love this Five Segment Glass Necklace that my assistant gave me. It's edgy but still classy in a Elizabeth Taylor circa Cleopatra type of way. I feel like a futuristic Greek goddess! Not my usual pearls or gold studs, this statement necklace DEMANDS attention. Just like Gaga!

Meadow

P.S. Have my dolls seen Beyonce and Gaga's new video "Video Phone"?! THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Red Carpet Bling = Red Carpet Chic!

2010-01-21T14:48:00.000-08:00

Hello my lovelies!

Been ridiculously busy as usual, from sessions with my trainer to meetings with the studio. Whew! I'm exhausted to say the least. But! I've got no time to be tired with all that's going on. What?! I didn't tell you? *excited scream* I'm going as Dash's date to the premiere of his new film "Scar Tissue." I'm not such a fan of action films, but I'm looking forward to watching him run around all sweaty, tee hee. I especially LOVE premieres because I get to pull out all the stops with my bling! I've been waiting to show off these Turquoise and Ruby Cluster Earrings for a while now, and they complement my nude colored chiffon designer gown perfectly! Earthy, yet classic, I'll be doing my version of Saige's "hippie chic." Thanks for the inspiration lady! Plus they're a steal at $98. Don't worry, I won't be mad if any of you get "inspired" by me.

I'll see you all on the red carpet!

An Open Letter to Cleopatra Holmes

2010-01-21T14:45:00.000-08:00

To my lovelies,

I apologize if I come off a little harsh in the following, but I really needed to have an honest heart to heart with someone who maybe felt as if I attacked her unfairly. For the record, I didn't. But all that aside, here's my real true blue response. I'm sure you all will understand.

________________________________________________________________________________

Seriously, is the WACK-tress trying to tango with me, Meadow Stevens?! Here's my one word response: HA! Cleo baby, that was actually me being generous and sweet. Just a word to the wise:I would fall back if I were you. You don't want to see me get sour. You really REALLY don't. But for now, I'll continue being sweet because it would be cruel of me to attack someone like yourself, sad, desperate and fame-hungry. I actually feel bad for you Cleo :(

It must be tough not being taken seriously as an actress by ANYONE in the industry. I can't imagine what that must feel like... painful, I'm sure. And because I feel sorry for you, I'll give you a bit of advice. If I were you, I would, A) take some acting classes. It's really important to stay on top of your craft, and it's painfully clear that you don't. Thespian to thespian, I'm only giving you constructive criticism when I tell you that more often than not, on screen you come off either embarrassingly vacant or “diva-esque” on screen. No bueno. You can (and should do better). B)Educate yourself on the goings on of the industry and get your facts straight. Pick up a “Variety” doll face! How could “To Catch a Cat Burglar” tank if I JUST wrapped shooting? LOL. I actually laughed out loud when I read that. You really don't have a clue, do you boo boo? That's ok, this is why Meadow is here to help you. C) Lastly, dump the loser. I'm being completely sincere when I tell you that he's toxic. If I were actually out for your head, I wouldn't say a word and I'd let him and his poor reputation drag you down to the D-list.

Cleo, darling, I don't hate you at all. I'm just being honest. And in keeping in the spirit of honesty, let's face facts. You're a mediocre actress and a second rate pop star (I'm STILL being sweet). Don't you aspire for something better?! Artist to artist, celebrity to celebrity, woman to woman, if you don't, you should. Don't settle for the fleeting fame that Hollywood offers. Create a legacy for yourself. Cleopatra, this might be a hard pill for you to swallow, but you should because I'm giving you invaluable food for thought. Gems of wisdom, I'm giving you. Consider me a “mentor” if you will. And to show your appreciation, you should gift me THIS beautiful gem, a skull cocktail ring, delivered to Meadowfair. Can't wait! Oh, and anytime you wanna chat doll, I'd be happy to give you more advice. Muah!

Meadow Stevens

America's Sweetheart

Saige's Blabber Mouth

2010-01-21T14:42:00.000-08:00

Hello my lovelies!

I've missed you all so! What's new with me? I'm FINALLY leaving New York tonight and I'm soooo excited to return home to Meadowfair. Press... done. Meetings... went wonderfully (yes, especially the one with James Cameron!).

Dangerous Curves is still smashing the box office and I couldn't be more overjoyed. I'm also not due to start shooting my next film, "Blue Blood Blondes" for another month, so I'm ready to go on a much needed vacation. Scratch that... I don't wan't to be anywhere but at home. I'll take a STAYcation instead!

Fredrica and Saige came to visit recently and it was really great to see them. I only wish Farrah would have come along. I miss you FS!!! As usual, we all decided to spend some quality girl time: mani/pedis and shopping. And yes, I did purchase quite a few things on 5th avenue (including this gorgeous House of Harlow 1960 14kt white gold necklace and Roxy Ring) but it was not because of "his" birthday! Goodness, I love Saige to death but the girl just cannot keep her mouth shut, I can't believe she went around telling everyone I was upset about HIM. I mean really, I don't want her to ruin all the good karma she's built up by having such a blabber mouth.

Ok, FINE. So I was a little teeny weeny bit sad when "HIS" birthday rolled around, but I've absolutely moved on and I definitely don't want him back! That "wack-tress" and all around terrible person he goes out with now can keep him because I'm doing just fine. Life is good and my career is skyrocketing. What more could a girl ask for? Sigh. Actually, I wouldn't mind having someone to share my success with but I know that all good things come in time, and when they're supposed to. In the meantime, I'll be keeping busy reading scripts, developing new projects, and buying baubles. Hmm... and maybe I should give my old co-star Dash a call! *wink*

Till next time lovelies!

I'm Still in New York...

2010-01-21T14:38:00.000-08:00

Hello lovelies!

I am pooped! Dangerous Curves premiered last week to rave reviews so I had to change my flight in order to accommodate all of the press, especially the TV appearances! In the past week, I've been on Good Morning America, Regis and Kelly, and The View! When Whoopi and Barbara told me how much they enjoyed my portrayal of Kitty, I nearly turned as red as a tomato. Can you believe it? Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters complimenting l'il old me! However, not everyone on The View seemed to adore the film... or me, mainly a certain blonde member of the cast who once infamously feuded with former castmate Rosie O'Donnell, and was quite chilly towards me.

Apparently there's been some whispers about gold statues, according to Barb and Whoopi, but this particular cast member found it doubtful that I could win an award for Dangerous Curves. I thought it was a little unprofessional to be so snide towards a guest, especially with millions of Americans watching, but maybe she was just PMS'ing. I know how it is. Love you anyway Lizzie!

So it seems that I'll be in New York for at least another two weeks. I still miss Meadowfair but I am loving this upswing in my career. The reviews from Dangerous Curves have really seemed to grab Hollywood's attention, and I've received a flurry of scripts, gone on nearly 2 dozen meetings, and best of all... no one's even asking me to audition! Some would say that now I've REALLY "made it". Oh, how I wish Grandma could see me now! She'd be so proud to see how far her little girl has come.

I'm so incredibly grateful for all of my recent success. I've worked my butt off and am definitely reaping the beautiful fruits of my arduous labors. And you all know that hard work deserves a great reward. Yes it's true... I have no problem spoiling myself when I feel that I've earned it. I've certainly earned a trinket or two (or ten) after all the nonstop hustle and bustle. The second I get to Meadowfair, I'm going to take a 10 hour nap and then I'm going to buy myself these Jules Smith Kiss Kiss Studs!

I've gotta dash now, loves. I've got a meeting with James Cameron in a half hour at the Tribeca Hotel.

Kisses

Me and Angelina are in NYC...

2010-01-21T14:34:00.001-08:00

Hello dolls!

It 's been a while, I know I know! I've been running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Yes, that dramatic. So here's what's been up: I wrapped shooting on "To Catch a Cat Burglar" about two weeks ago and immediately left for the East Coast to promote my new film with Angelina (yes, THAT Angelina), "Dangerous Curves." It's the one I shot last year about female race car drivers. I play the underdog with a heart of gold, Kitty La Roux. I'm so proud of the film and my work in it that I jumped right in to catching up with Angie and the rest of the cast as we did appearances, private screenings, press junkets... and missed all the gossip and madness back home!

First off, I did see the debacle known as "Kanye-gate" first hand (I was sitting directly behind Beyonce actually). Sigh. That was so silly of him. I don't even wanna give that incident too much attention. Moving right along... I also heard about dear Patrick Swayze... just heartbreaking. I never had the honor of working with him but I would have relished the opportunity. What a talent!

As for Viva Swag, the gang seems to be doing well... I'm looking forward to coming home to California and catching up with Farrah (bored, doll? YOU?! I can't believe it), and all of my other dear friends (like my former co-star Dash. *blushes*).

New York is lovely and a great place to visit, but really there is no place in the world like home. And home for me is Meadowfair in eternally sunny Southern California. I can't lie, I am a little homesick but the cast and crew of "Dangerous Curves" have been doing all that they can to put me at ease. Angelina is so thoughtful and bought me this beautiful and dainty Ancient Elephant Necklace to bring me luck until I'm able to come home. She's so sweet and keeps telling me that I should be more patient with myself instead of trying to rush thru life without smelling the roses or taking chances. And she's so right! Who knows what can happen? Right now I'm trying to take it one day at a time... cherishing my moments here as I'm living my dream and doing what I love. "Dangerous Curves" opens on October 1st. It's an exciting and groundbreaking film. I hope you guys like it!!

till next time lovelies,

Meadow

I’m SICK. crying

2009-08-25T13:52:00.000-07:00

Lovies!

I know I’ve been a bit M.I.A as of late, but that’s because I’ve been terribly ill! To be honest, I’m not sure what I’ve got… but my ears, eyes, and throat ache. I can’t swallow. It hurts to blink. AND, it feels like balloons are popping in my ear drum. What gives??

Unfortunately, due to my illness, production was halted on “To Kill A Cat Burglar”… for two weeks! I could cry. And I have been. For two weeks. Thankfully, my cast and crew have been so understanding and I’ve received lovely gift baskets from Ripley, the director, and Dash, my ever-dashing co-star!

(*blushing*). Look at these cute My Little Thing Pink Vintage Flower Earrings Dash put in a basket for me along with tangerines, lemon ginger tea, homemade chicken noodle soup, and a dvd of “Some Like It Hot”, one of my favorite films of all time! I suspect he might know me just a little. But don’t worry dolls, I won’t get too excited or involved… ours is a business relationship and it’ll stay that way! (Although this gift basket is waaay too cute. I can’t even tell you all that’s in here. Can’t lie. I’m swooning!)

Despite feeling like crap, there is an upside to being under the weather: slowing down! I feel like I haven’t taken a breather since my last escapade at CAVE (which we dare not speak of … I’ve blocked the memory out of my mind). I’ve caught up on all my reading, memorized all of my lines (hopefully the writers won’t be making any major changes), and best of all- caught up with all of my friends. Sometimes I forget that I’m not alone out here in Hollywood. I do know some great people who love and care about me. Farrah came by with a pink Epson Salt bubble bath, Saige whipped up a few icky tasting tonics that are supposed to be flushing out my system, and like many of you, I FINALLY found out why Aristotle got arrested! Wow, is all I can say. I’m going to send the lawyer from the studio over as a favor, and hopefully he can work something out.

Till next time loves… I’ll be here blowing my nose and soaking in this hot tub!

The Life of a Celebrity...

2009-08-17T16:21:00.000-07:00

Let’s get something straight dolls… the life of a celebrity is a tough road to navigate, as we are always in the public eye and subject to mass critiques on a daily basis. One drink at the bar at CAVE and all of a sudden you’re labeled a lush. A few jewelry purchases and you’re accused of being a shopaholic (I don’t know that I have a huge problem with that moniker though… check out this gorgeous GoldTone Necklace I’m wearing in one of the love scenes with Dash. *swoon*). I, however, am no bon vivant or attention-seeking “It” girl… I am a serious actress and I demand to be respected as such! As you all well know, we’ve finally started shooting “To Catch a Cat Burglar” and let me tell you- this has been one of the most grueling, yet rewarding, experiences of my entire life. It has been so tough- I’ve been doing all of my own stunts, singing (you heard right! I’m singing), and learning about the inner life of felines… they’re very intelligent. Dare I say that I smell a shiny gold statue in my future? Perhaps.

I’m also sure that you’ve heard all the more recent rumors that I was the one who leaked Kip’s “tapes” to the press. He’s simply incorrigible! I can’t believe that after he ruthlessly called the paps on me, he now has the NERVE to insinuate that I would waste any of my precious time on anything Kip Deshler related. Puh-lease! Like I would stoop that low. Doesn’t he know that I actually have a career? Oh wait… he doesn’t know what a real career looks like. Well… if, IF, I had released those tapes, I can’t say that he didn’t deserve it. Dear fans, honestly IF I had done such a thing, I do hope that you wouldn’t crucify me for it. We all make mistakes… even celebrities. And sometimes, the ends justify the means. You reap what you sow. Karma is a… etc. Le sigh. Oh well. But I sure would’ve loved to have seen the look on his face when he found out that the paps got a hold of his precious tapes. Enough harping… I’ve got a combat lesson to go to. Then practice at the shooting range… yippee!

Wait, I almost forgot… Aristotle got ARRESTED??? Someone bbm me.

I've Turned a New Leaf....and Gone GREEN!

2009-08-10T13:04:00.000-07:00

Dolls!

It is official… In case you haven’t already noticed, Meadow Stevens has turned over a new leaf. No more feeling sorry for myself and indulging in that extra glass of wine at CAVE or crying over the paparrazzi’s invasion of my privacy. Gone are the days where I would mourn friendships that have gone sour (Though I still can’t believe you would side with you-know-who over me, Farrah!) No longer will I lash out at ex-boyfriends thru the press or on social networking sites, however, I still might have a thing or two to say about a girlfriend of the ex-boyfriend in question, simply because she is a nasty person!. Pause. I won’t do that. Instead, I’ll take a deep breath, count to ten, and focus my energy on the positive. Sigh.

We’ve finally cast a leading man for my film “To Catch a Cat Burglar”, and even though it’s not Rico, who is appearing in a cameo role, Dash (that’s his name), my new co-star, is still pretty dashing! lol. Shooting starts in a few weeks and I’m soooo excited. I feel confident that this role will propel me to the next level in my career and I am most certainly ready to take off. Saige and I have been spending even more time together as she continues to counsel me through my “issues”, and helps me to “center” myself as I prepare for the role and the next phase of my life. Of course, she keeps trying to get me to go “Green” and I’m really trying… but, not bathing and wearing filthy Birkenstocks don’t really go with the whole “America’s Sweetheart” vibe I have.

Yet, it turns out that Dash is also really into helping the environment… and he says I CAN relate to the whole green thing in my own way, because I like saving abused puppies and kittens. You know, recycling them..

Further, I was the one who encouraged Ridley (the director) to cast Dash, so in appreciation (and knowing my fondness for jewels), Dash gave me this stunning Nugaard Designs Gem Brass Cuff, made of recycled gold! Not only is it beautiful, but it’s technically “Green”… right, Saige??

Good Karma...Happy Meadow!

2009-08-04T14:16:00.000-07:00

My dear friend and Feng Shui expert, Saige Harmony, is always on me about maintaining my “karmic” power. These days, I’m sooo focused on keeping myself positive, and weeding out the bad vibes. I know I know… I was a tad ticked off when someone called the paps on me the other week and I might have engaged in a little “twitter fight” earlier with a certain wanna-be singer/wacktress/fashionista. But I choose to focus on the positive and as of late, have kept busy hanging out with true friends (I *heart* you too Farrah!) Dita Von Teese was so amazing, btw! I’ve also been sitting in during casting calls for my latest flicks. We were looking for an unknown actor to play my leading man and today we’re doing screen tests. THIS is one of the many reasons that I adore my job

I heard through the grapevine that my ex, Kip, was planning on showing up to auditions even though he’s only a “reality tv” actor, and not an experienced thespian, like myself. Unfortunately, he never showed up because somebody leaked recordings of him performing songs from his childhood to the press! What. A. Shame. I wonder who would have done such a thing. His karma must be terrible. I do hope that Saige is helping him re-align his chakras and etcetera. I know he could use the help!

But back to Saige, check out this gorgeous Feather Charm Necklace by Armani Exchange that she gave me after the whole paparazzi debacle! It’s gorgeous and natural, like Saige, though I must admit I was surprised that she gave me a piece of jewelry that she didn’t actually make with her own hands… that might be a first for her! Saige told me that the feather would bring more elements of “whimsy” into my life (which is important since she often says that I’m waaay too serious) and the “love” charm will channel into the universe and return the feeling back to me in unexpected ways. Who knew that thinking about one’s karma would bring such satisfying returns in such a short amount of time!

Till Next Time Lovelies!

No Time to Waste!

2009-07-22T16:25:00.001-07:00

First, I’d like to say thank you to my very loyal fans for standing by me and sending your kind words of love and support during this crazy time! I hope you all know how much you mean to me. I know that without you, I’d be nowhere. So thank you thank you thank you, from the very bottom of my heart.

With that said, you should know that I’ve been doing quite well and am committed to finally moving on from that terrible relationship. And yes, he DID call the paps on me last week, btw. He even had the gall to admit it too… what nerve! Anyhoo, I’m done fretting over the past so I’ve dried my tears and am looking to gain a new lease on life! I’ve got my rose-colored sunglasses on (they’re heartshaped too!), and I’m taking the reins and seizing the day.

There’s one thing that my dear Grandmother always taught me growing up: “time is money… and you’re in no position to waste either”! And although I’ve got plenty of money now, I’ve still got none to waste! (I know what you might be thinking… but diamonds are an investment, dolls !). My dear fans, you all know how very hard I’ve worked to achieve all that I have and I REFUSE to spend any more of my precious time crying over a cocktail or glass of wine at CAVE (OK, Saige? Thanks for publicly calling me out, BTW. I’m sure it will do wonders for your karma *raises eyebrows*).

So today (which is the first day of the rest of my life), I’ve got my eyes on the prize, my lovely new Full Moon Brass Wave watch, and am ever mindful of time as I learn lines for my next flick “To Catch a Cat Burglar”. Yes indeed, I’m a busy gal maintaining a full schedule with my head held high! Tonight Farrah and I are going to see Dita Von Teese perform in Hollywood. Meow indeed.

I Understand Jennifer Aniston’s Pain

2009-07-21T10:31:00.000-07:00

Hello my lovelies!

I know you haven’t heard from me in a bit, but it’s not that I don’t adore all of you- I’ve just been extremely busy (and quietly dealing with a few “personal” issues)! I’ll catch you up: Just as we were wrapping scenes for “Finding Love through Franco the Ferret” in Coyoacán, which is a lovely city I might add, my publicist Astrid phoned me to deliver some not-so-happy news. Sigh.

I don’t wanna go into blow by blow detail of the convo, but here’s the basic gist: during my time in Mexico, a certain undignified individual (who has the initials KD), had been calling the press to pitch spiteful (not to mention false) stories about me! The worst part: they gobbled it all up! The media is always going out of its way to portray me, “America’s Sweetheart” as some lonely heartbroken DESPERATE starlet who can’t keep a boyfriend. Argh! I can’t even begin to express how completely frustrated I am with this perception!

I’m not at all desperate… and it’s not my fault that my last boyfriend was anything but a gentleman and broke up with me to be with another girl (a true “lady” never goes after another lady’s beau). Now, more than ever, I understand how Jennifer Aniston felt when Brad left her for that other… girl. It’s hard enough being dumped publicly, but all the media attention is just mean spirited and hurtful!

I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines: “Meadow Can’t Keep a Guy to Save Her Life”, “Meadow Stevens… The New Face of The Old Maid” “Heartbroken Meadow Drowns Her Sorrows in Shopping!” Although there might be a little truth to the latter, that doesn’t give anyone the right to poke their nose in my affairs.

When I arrived back home in the Hollywood Hills, I did go on a bit of a shopping “bender” to further ease the pain of this extended humiliation but the paparazzi would not leave me a moment of peace. Somehow my ex and his new “friend” figured out where I’d be and alerted them. Luckily my girl Farrah had just messengered over a gift for me: a lovely “Noir Star Ring”, that literally blinded the paps, stopping them in their tracks!

Moral of the story: boys may come and go (and they will), but diamonds, and high heels are a girl’s best friend!

Star Search Tryouts and Macaroons

2009-07-01T12:18:00.000-07:00

Good afternoon my darling and patient enthusiasts. It has been such a draining week, weekend, all of the above. The news of not one, but four tragic deaths, has sent this sweetheart's sweet tooth into a frenzy!

It all started with Ed McMahon and the ganache centered macaroons. I had the pleasure of his presence back in 1986, when I was five years old. My sweet grandmother and I broke into my piggy bank in order to make it to the Star Search tryouts. The other little girls were decorated in extravagant jewelry, similar to what I now offer on Viva Swag. And unfortunately, that's what the casting crew was looking for. They chose the Timeless Pearl Necklaces and Swanky Cocktail Rings over my perfect ivory skin, tender voice, and humble persona.

Then the news about the lovely and talented Farrah Fawcett and the KING of pop, Michael Jackson...led to the flourless chocolate cake and petite pastries.

And if that wasn't enough, hearing about the Infomercial King, Mr. Mays, sent my taste buds and my dear assistant on a hunt for organic fruit tartlets.

As the great Mae West once said, "I never worry about diets, the only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond."

On a side note, to make my week even more difficult, Franco the ferret disappeared and took my Gold Diamond Leaf Ring with him. *Sigh*

My heart goes out to the families, friends, and diamonds of those lost, whose legacies will continue to live on.

Franco the Ferret

My wonderful, beautiful, truly unique fans! I do apologize to you all about the oh so very late posting. I've been in Mexico working on a new movie where I play a young girl who goes undercover as a ferret whisperer in order to woo the man of her dreams! It's called "Finding Love through Franco the Ferret." The experience has been so incredibly wonderful that I haven't had one moment to sit down and pen a heartfelt note. Can you believe?

Well anyway, it has been too long, and now I'm back and am so pleased to highlight some of my incredible finds while in Mexico! I purchased three of everything to give to friends back home and of course bought fantastic little gifties for everyone on the cast and crew for working so hard.

My favorite picks were this Wilderness Sterling Silver Necklace and this Stunning Brooch with a design by the famous Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. Such fantastic items, delicious, creative, inspirational and... oh no! Please excuse me... eek! I've got to run, Franco the Ferret just escaped out of his cage and is rummaging through my luggage... will be back soon! KISSES!

How Diamonds Saved My Life

Dear, Dear, Sweet Friends!

First off, it is with great joy that I humbly post my first entry as Viva Swag’s spokesperson for Baubles, Bling and Everything In Between! Secondly, I’d like to thank you for being you. You are truly special, unique, and gifted. Now, may we talk?

As I sit here on the set of my newest film, a delightful romantic comedy about a young Circus Clown who meets the magician of her dreams, I can’t help but reflect upon how diamonds saved my life.

When KIP took a billy club to my heart and shacked up with that… that… HER, I was beside myself. It was so traumatic I didn’t even want to wear my tiara, but I knew, I am America’s Sweetheart and people are counting on me!

So, I went right out and bought a new TWO CARAT PRINCESS CUT BULGARI DIAMOND RING. Suddenly the world was right, everything was beautiful and bright!

In honor of diamonds and their life affirming energy, please enjoy the poem I penned for you:

They light the way in times of darkness
Diamonds
Glitter glitter everywhere
I can see now! I can see!
They may cost bucks
But they make you forget Shmucks
Diamonds, Diamonds, Diamonds!
