Carrot Cake

Sonia Braga and Christina Applegate were over Saturday morning for brunch . Guadalupe threw together a wonderful meal that was topped off with a carrot cake that was beyond sinful ... Sonia and I have known each other since '81 when I did a small role in her film, Eu Te Amo . Though I knew little Spanish, I managed to shuck my way through the interview and the director liked me so I got the part of "Madrid Gigolo # 3" - it was a paycheck, plus I got friendly with Sonia, and we've been friends ever since...Christina and I met when I did some script work on "Don't Tell Mom, The Baby sitter's Dead", what a sweetheart that one...Hank was his usual self entertaining the ladies with his tales of Hollywood hi jinx and since both he and Appelgate have both recently done Broadway, they both dished about the recent crop of left coasters treading the Great White Way.

After our meal, we repaired to the garden where we took coffee and discussed Ricky Martin's "comeback". Sonia said that she had heard that Hank had fucked Ricky in South Beach one time, Christina said she had heard that it was Sonia who had fucked him, I said I heard it was Christina...we laughed and decided that we'd better call Carrie Fisher and settle this once and for all...Later on Christina said that she'd been talking to Scott Baio and that he was furious over the upcoming release of "Disco Nation" on DVD. She asked what the problem was, I asked if she'd ever seen the film, Sonia interjected that she HAD seen the film and sort of enjoyed it; she especially liked the scene where Scott, Steve Guttenburg and I do that dance number in the locker room dressed in nothing but tube socks and jock straps... discussed Tom and Katie and all agreed that it had to be a turkey baster conception.

The ladies left around six and Hank and I got ready for the private party Clooney was hosting at the Sheldrake Room...got there around nine and saw that Brad Pitt, Jeremy Piven, Ben Stiller, Harrison Ford, Robert Forster (who looks great, btw), Michael Keaton, Shemar Moore, Jamie Foxx and Peter Krause were all there. Played Texas Hold 'Em with Pitt, Clooney and Forster and smoked some great Mexican with Foxx and Krause. Went into the play room later and discovered exactly why it is that Ben Stiller has such a lucrative career in Hollywood.

Got home around two and Hank crashed out. I grabbed a piece of left over carrot cake, went to my computer, blogged about my fictional life and then went to bed at around three thirty...
