Well, it is official. Sandra Bullock has filed for divorce from he whose name shall not be spoken in Travis County. Could be to get away from the media circus in Hollywood…..could be that it is so she won’t have to pay spousal support for a divorce granted in Texas, could be the bountiful supply of Shiner Bock, could be all of the above. And just when I thought I could keep up, news breaks that she adopted a baby boy 3 months ago, right in the middle of awards season…..AND she was able to keep it a secret! That is pretty amazing. Louis Bardo Bullock is a beautiful little boy and hopefully will bring her a lot of happiness. Congrats Sandra!

And speaking of babies…….Lance Armstrong is expecting his fifth child! He alluded to it last week when he started following CincoArmstrong on Twitter….”I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and i’m 2 inches long. See y’all in October.” Lance has three kiddos with former wife Kristin, and this nino cinco will be his second with girlfriend Anna Hanson. Congrats Papa Lance! Your own personal peleton!

I am so disgusted and upset by the recent news of Sandra’s woes it took me a while to even write something about it. I just don’t get it. It is so shocking. Here she is being lauded for her work and really acknowledged for all her success, and seeming to be at the top of her game in her career and above all truly happy and content in her personal life. Then he whose name shall not be mentioned has to go and ruin it all. JERK! Ugh!! It really is just so wrong.

Nothing we can do but root for Sandra and show her some support. So I decided I would just show our girl some love by doing what I do best- -eating!!

And fortunately for me she has 2 establishments here in Austin where I can do just that and give her a shout-out and show my support.  There is Bess Bistro on Pecan, a charming place with a great atmosphere, yummy drinks, and a tempting menu , and Walton’s Fancy and Staple, right across the street. Walton’s is part deli, part bakery, part flower shop, and part general store all in one. I adore this place!  While I was there I picked up some of Aunt Luddy’s  White Trash Deep South Mix. YUM! Thanks for the sugar rush, Sandra. I like your style!

WE LOVE YOU SANDRA!!!!!

Ah, Austin. So many celebrities in such a short time! Mischa Barton checking out Muse, Verne Troyer  (Mini Me) spotted at at Gruv, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall at the premiere of Get Low at the Paramount, Ryan Phillippe power smoking 2 packs of smokes on the deck at the Four Seasons……And of course,

Girl Power!

Fresh off their NYC premiere Kristen Stewart , Dakota Fanning, and Cherie Currie were in town to promote The Runaways, the movie based on the first all girls rock group. Kristen portrays Joan Jett and Dakota plays bombshell vocalist Cherie Currie.  Sadly Joan Jett was not here due to “exhaustion.”

 And I am very excited I got to meet David Garza! I have loved his music for so long. So many great albums, especially This Euphoria featuring one of my favorite songs of his “Discoball World.” David attended the University of Texas here in Austin and has had a very long and successful career. In 1999 he came in second behind only Stevie Ray Vaughan as “Austin Musician of the Decade” (Austin Chronicle). Oh, and we have the same dentist so I  think that’s pretty cool too

I was  FAR less excited about the FOUR FREAKING HOURS I shivered in line waiting to get in to the Perez Hilton party! And we STILL hadn’t gotten in so I had enough and bounced. That was ridiculous. Thanks for the pneumonia-fest Perez. I am still shaking from the cold. He tweeted an apology and promised a bigger venue next year……..but how about some security and a check-in process and some extra staff at the door?? Madness. That little #$%&*@

Happy Spring fever! Already excited for SXSW 2011!!
