“I just left Jennifer’s house,” said J. Lo‘s makeup artist, Mary Phillips said as I answered up the phone.  Just two days after the Oscars she was following Miss Lopez to American Idol.  Along the way, I was thankful she had time to call me and give the Oscar scoop I was after.

There’s been a lot of negative press lately on gel manicures (let’s face it, people need to sell magazines), but truth is they haven’t been around long enough to really know what could happen.  Since I’m a fan, I wanted to present the facts, so I chatted with Celebrity Manicurist, Deborah Lippmann and Dr. Marina Peredo to get the scoop.

The Casual Chic Setting at the Independent Spirit Awards Blew My Mind, The Backstage Scoop & Video

If you’ve been following me on Twitter this weekend, you probably saw me freak out at a Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips sighting yesterday backstage at the Independent Spirit Awards.  Yes, I’m in LA!  While here for some business meetings I made sure to schedule some time to take advantage of one of the biggest awards season weekends of the year.
