Mom's Needs A Night Out (or How I Almost Became A Celebrity Stalker)

Mama has been BUSY this week!!!

Last Sunday I attended the U2 concert @ the Rose Bowl with my sisters. Our seats were awesome and the entire night was great. The Black Eyed Peas opened and they were very energetic and LA natives so it was a A LOT of fun. They really pumped up the crowd. Getting in & out of the Rose Bowl was NOT fun, but we survived! It was my first night out in almost a year. {GASP!} U2 did not disappoint!






I know, I know you probably watched it on YouTube (how cool was THAT!) But here is a snippet...LIVE from Section 11F, Row 14, Seat 15 (aka: my seat).





Then continuing with Mom-Needs-A-Night-Out theme, on Tuesday my Aunt B came through with some tickets & a paid parking pass to the Michael Jackson's This Is It movie premiere event @ LA LIVE. HELLO! More fun!

Our movie tickets were for 10:10PM, we arrived early @ 8:30PM and valet parked. We were feeling pretty hoity-toity, if I do say so myself. As we sauntered through the LA LIVE complex we passed the red carpet staging area which was now empty, we saw the beautiful chandeliers. So pretty.



As we passed the Nokia Theater someone directed us to walk along a certain path, he was directing others to another parallel path.

It was COLD...yeah this is LA we are not used to COLD weather. Add to that it was WINDY. I was walking slowly because it was like a scene out of Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day.

Right along side of me was a woman dressed to the nines in black. At first glance I thought she resembled Angelina Jolie, her dark hair was up and I saw a glimpse of pouty lips. Then she laughed and spoke and there was no mistaking it.

It was Jennifer Lopez. Walking. Next. To. Me. or rather she was trying to walk, because, as I said she was dressed to the nines in black platform heels (cute!) and it was so windy we were being blown backwards. She was struggling and laughing as she tried to put on her jacket, walk & steady herself all at the same time. Still looking gorgeous! If not for that silly metal fence I would have reached over and helped her, but instead I took this lame picture.



No, that's not snow those little white spots are debris floating around us. I told you it was WINDY!! So I will just say this. My camera kinda sucks for these types of situations. Moving. Quick. Spontaneous.

Then after all that excitement. We waited online. Got some Starbucks and came back to find a crowd forming at the stairwell. The celeb party on the roof of the parking structure was winding down so I ran over and...



Hello Paula!

I got a few other shots of various body parts and blurs that were Larry Birkhead, Ian Zeiring, Jermaine Jackson and Forrest Whitaker...but like I said my camera was not made for celebrity stalking.

I guess I will just have to keep my day job as Dr.Mom.


Thanks for peeking,
