Are Big and Bright (clap clap clap clap) Deep in the Heart of Texas!!!!!!!

Go ahead…..just TRY to get that song outta your head! Haha!

Well, it’s that time of the year again. South by Southwest!

Get those cameras ready people…..and share your scoop with us! You can share your celebrity spotting here:

Let us know who you see…..and where…..and what they’re doing! And who they’re with! And what they’re wearing! Spill it!

So far there have been sightings of  Edward Norton (for Leaves of Grass), John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill (for Cyrus), Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe (for MacGruber),and …..wait….I think I need a moment to actually let that sink in….

 Okay….I am back……

And Quintin Tarantino was inducted into Austin Film Society’s Texas Hall of Fame.  Robert Rodriguez called him an “Honorary Texan.” High praise indeed! Also inducted were Lukas Haas, Catherine O’Hara (for Waiting for Guffman) and Monkee Mike Nesmith.

And Ashton Kutcher is rumored to be in town. OOHHHHHHH!! Maybe I will get PUNK’D! I really always wanted to have that happen. I SWEAR I would handle myself appropriately J

And don’t even get me started on all the musicians in town!

So kids…..keep your feet on the ground and keep gazing at the stars! And send those sightings in!

Have a great time!

And in closing….it wouldn’t be a blog post without a Sandra shout-out!

 Mad props to Sandra for her Oscar for The Blind Side and even for picking up a Razzie the day before the ceremony for All About Steve. Two awards in one weekend. Show-off! 

Oscar gold

And I must close with a rant about this……

 WTF leaving out Farrah Fawcett from the In Memoriam at the Oscars? Wrong move Academy! They have since apologized for the omission but to them I say only this….Don’t mess with Texas!

(Just in case you weren’t sure of the Austin connection, she attended the University of Texas here in Austin in 1966-67 and where her extra-curricular activities included being a member of Tri Delta sorority, and pretty much being the most beautiful woman on campus!!!  You go Charlie’s Angel! We will never forget you!!)
