Hah! Do you love the title of my post? Bobby and I went to LA last weekend for a very personal reason. A friend of ours husband, has Myeloma, a rare blood cancer. We went to the 3rd Annual Comedy night with some pretty amazing talent. Peter Boyle, of Everybody Loves Raymond, died of this disease and his fellow actors were there in full force to help raise money. Doris Roberts, Blythe Danner, Jason Alexander, Jimmy Kimmel, Meatloaf, Ray Romano, Brad Garrett and a very dirty Bob Sagat. I have seen Bob on stage before….he is NOTHING like he was in Full House. He is so funny but very dirty! Ray Romano was the host and did a great job.
We arrived on Thursday and I did an interview with C magazine. It is the Town and Country of LA. I talked to them about Kodakgallery.com and how they have improved the site, making it faster and less clicks to use. I was promoting the Kodakgallery.com Million THANKS giveaway. If you sign up before November 20th they will deposit $15.00 in your account FREE just for trying it out. Anyway…Thursday night we went to dinner with the Gastineau girls and Heather McDonald from Chelsea Lately and a few friends to Phillippe LA. It was great. The Paparazzi were waiting outside and Heather did askit on the sidewalk imitating the OC Housewives. So funny.
Friday..early wakeup call! I was on the Good Day LA set at 730AM with full hair and makeup. I love the entire crew there. Always so warm and loving. I met some of the cast of GLEE. Ally’s favorite new show in TV. I took some photos and got their autograph. Next stop, back to the hotel to pick up Bobby. We had some meetings in the afternoon and came back tired. I rallied to go out with Brittny and Lisa. When we got to Beso, Courtney Semel, Allison Melnick, Kourtney Kardashian, Joe Francis and a few others friends were there. I was tired but dragged myself to the Crown Room. Lindsay Lohan was there waiting for Brittny. I won’t get into details about Lindsay. It was nice she came for her friend. Nicole Murphy was there too ( ex wife of Eddie and future wife of Micheal Strahan). I was so tired we left around midnight.
Saturday was another long day. We did Millions of Milkshakes gig. There is a great store in LA that sells milkshakes. they own hollywoodtv.com and put out the video all over the world. I made a custom milkshake. Chocolate with Oreo, Twix and Nesles crunch. I swirled chocolate syrup all over the cup first. It was like a frozen mudslide. Awesome.
Next stop..the IVY for lunch on Robertson. No celeb sightings but the food was better than last time. A little shopping and back to the hotel to rest and catch up on emails.
Evening activity was the charity event. We had dinner at the Peninsula Hotel with friends and then went to PLAYGROUND. Janet Jackson was sitting in the corner with security blocking the path to her. Believe me, no one wanted to talk to her. The music was great and we had fun dancing. I think some of the TWILIGHT cast was there but I never saw the movie and never will. I am not into vampire movies at all.
Are you tired yet? Sunday we went to visit friends by the beach and then dinner at Madeos. We flew home Monday and was happy to get home to Ally and Ginger.
Jill Zarin went home.

Hi Jill! I love the show and miss all of you sooo much! I have a desperate question for you, this isn’t a joke! My sister and I are bringing my dad to New York for a new cancer treatment and was wondering if you would help us, not financially, but just help us get to the hospital as we are from a small town in Ohio. It is just going to be my sister and I with our dad who will be staying in the hospital.Thank you for any consideration! Linda

Dear Jill,
I have so much respect for your great humor and generosity, not just of dollars but of spirit. I am so excited that you will be coming to Palm Beach Gardens, Fl in January.

Hey Jill….I also can not wait for your season to start again! I LOVE it!! My absolute Fav HW. But, please tell me that model chick Kelly, isn’t going to be on this season!?! She definitely didn’t bring anything to the table last season…except unnecessary drama…Tell Bethenny that Seattle belongs to Team Jill and Team Bethenny!

To Tonya,
” Simon’s girl is Alex Mccord.” She is fun.
@@ JILL, What a wonderful cause, Myeloma! I miss Peter Boyle, as he was
a wonderful, gifted and funny actor. My husband and I were hoping for a
” Everybody Loves Raymond Reunion Show,” one day, but now I doubt that
will happen, as Peter was such a big part of the show. If anyone can help
raise money, you certainly can, Jill Zarin!!! It sounds like you had
a wonderful time, as usual, and an exhausting trip trying to fit in
everything and everyone. Love the cover picture’s. Love you! Have a
great week, but make it a quite one. Vicki

Jill, all the way in Australia, my mum (mom) and I LOVE your show, and you and Bethenny have fast become our favourites. We are so behind the times here, and Im not sure if there are more seasons being filmed but we just finished the second season here.
We rally for you and Bethenny every week and are devastated for it to be finished!
I just wanted to let you know that you have a huge Australian fanbase, and thanks for making us laugh every week!
Im buying my mum Bethenny’s book for christmas.
thanks Jill!!!

Jill, we sure do miss the New York Housewives. The Atlanta Housewives are too ghetto/crazy except for Kandi, and the OC Housewives are just pure trash ~ could only stomach about 10 mins. of the second installment with Slade parading his sock and all the t & a at Gretchin’s tanning party. Who cares? We want REAL people, like you, Bethany, Luann and Simon’s girl, can’t think of her name right now. New model doesn’t count, too Valley Girl to fit in.
Hurry back!
