Chicken Fajita Burrito

A shout out to Eric Stillman for winning a Taurus Award for the stunt work he did in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton as Josh Duhamel's body double during the wood cutting / axe scene! Three Cheers for Eric!

Hank left for Montreal this morning to do some work on that new project for MGM he'll be there for the rest of the week ... Linda Blair called when I got home from LAX to tell me that she is pretty sure that she can stop the distribution of "Disco Nation", she said that, unbeknownst to anyone at the time, she was a silent producer of the film (that is she put up some of her own money to fund this debacle) and unless she agrees (or someone buys her out) she has to sign off for the release. Relieved to hear this I asked her how she was doing and she told me that she has two new films she is working on and everything else is going great guns . Linda's a great gal ... after that bit of good news, Matthew Perry called and asked if I wanted to go to the Sheldrake Room tonight, told him that I thought that was a good idea and would get back to him ... faxed the forty some pages of revisions I did on "Neely! " to Spielberg who called me back less than an hour later telling me that he loved the nude lesbian love scene I'd written in for the Jennifer character (told me that he was kind of reticent at first, he'd even dropped a lesbian love scene from "The Color Purple" he reminded me)... after the call, Guadalupe asked me I wanted her cousin Ramon to come over to clean the pool on Sunday - I told her that that was a go and handed over a couple hundred to pay her cousin ... read that Shelly Winters had a heart-attack and was saddened to hear that, she looked great when I saw her last week at Diana Luxemburg's party ... Played Tennis with Mario Lopez who asked if I was going to The Sheldrake Room tonight, I told him I was and then hit one over his head which he missed, then we took a quick dip at the pool at the Beverly Hills Racquet Club ... Stopped over at Pinks for lunch and had a Chicken Fajita Burrito and saw Drew Barrymore, my god what that girl can do with a foot-long hot dog is nothing short of amazing ... Bumped into Courtney Love on my way back to the car (she looks great, BTW) and we talked about Ricky Martin's "Comeback", told me that she had fucked him that time in South Beach ... Got back home around five and sacked out for a few hours, got up around seven, found Matt in the kitchen making a grilled cheese sandwhich, told him to shower and get ready to go out with me ... washed and dressed and left with Matt at nine and headed down Sunset Blvd ... saw Ray Romano (or maybe it was Zach Braff, I can never tell those two guys apart) coming out of the 7/11.

Arrived at The Sheldrake Room around nine thirty and found Colin Farrell dancing on the bar to "Native New Yorker" watched as Jude Law tired to stuff dollar bills down his pants ... played poker with Billy Bob Thorton and Peter Sarsgaard ... later on I shot darts with John Leguizamo and we discussed his stint on E.R.; it's obscene the amount of money he's getting for that! Had to keep taking drinks away from Matt, told him I would call his sponsor at AA if he did not stop, reminded me that I WAS his sponsor, gave him a quaalude and told him to mellow out or I was taking him home ... Danced with Collin Farrell and (who was pretty much the life of the party last night) and joined the others in the play room where I found out the secret to Vin Diesel's success in Hollywood.

When we were leaving, we saw that Farrell's car would not start, he hoped a ride home with Matt and I ... stopped to pick up some Kwell , dropped Matt off at the pool house and brought Farrell inside with me...

ok, my dream job would be to be a personal assistant to Drew Barrymore, cause you know she is so nice and you'd get to be in Hollywood.
Mario Lopez, I think I see him on ESPN occassionally.
