Konichiwa AXN Japan!

Konichiwa Japan!

This photo(35)month I started my new job as the LA Correspondent for Japan’s popular entertainment show AXN Avenue. Think of it as a Japanese version of E! or LXTV, where we spotlight the coolest celebrity hotspots in Los Angeles.

My first shoot was at Erewhon Natural Foods Market (pronounced like Air-juan). This place is a natural food gem, with a tea bar and specialty juice selection that puts all the trendy juice cleanse places in LA to shame! For those looking to toxify themselves, they also are the only place in LA that carries the amazing Chateau Miraval rose that is made on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s property in France. Erewhon is also home to Rita Flora, who puts together the most amazing bouquets. I am lucky enough to be on the receiving end of one of those bouquets. I’m looking forward to when I get another… hopefully in the near future… hint hint

 

It was a great shoot. And I got to polish up on the few words I know in Japanese, which include Konichiwa, Sayanora, Ouishii, and Kawaii.

I’ll be shooting a few segments each month. Follow me on twitter @AndreaFeczko to get more updates!

 

What’s Trending with Gilbert Gottfried

If there could be a face next to “larger than life personality” in the dictionary, it would definitely be that of Gilbert Gottfried. When he walks into the room, he’s initially an underwhelming presence- standing at 5’5″ and soft spoken. Yes, you read that right, he is soft spoken. But when the camera turns on he dives into that famous Aflac voice and let’s his mind and mouth go straight into the gutter, a place I usually reserve just for my mind.

I had the pleasure of witnessing this transformation first hand while co-hosting for What’s Trending, a huge online live show with more than a 1,000,000 subscribers. Considering it’s an online show, and Gilbert Gottfried has had some not-so-small issues with the online world, it was pretty balls-y for him to be our guest for a half hour. Then again, he was promoting his book Rubber Balls and Liquor, so maybe this was just a serendipitous meeting.

Check out the craziness for yourself. My ears are still ringing.
