ANOTHER HOLLYWEIRD WEEK

By Larry Weir

Because I live in Tinsel Town I run into celebrities all the time without even trying. Here is my latest adventure in “Spying On the Stars” .....

Once again I made my way to the The Grove in Hollyweird. Had a little happy hour at the Wood Ranch, and as I was enjoying the most amazing baroque ribs on the planet in walked a group of Hollyweird types. In the middle of the pack was a very short and almost un-noticed Drew Carey. Since the Wood Ranch is right next door to CBS Television, where they tape the Price Is Right, Young & Restless, American Idol and even Dancing With the Stars, this has become a place to frequent right after tapings. I walked by Drew’s table and they were going over their notes for how things went during the show. Drew kept the group smiling and laughing so it appears that he’s a pleasant guy to work with. As I left the restaurant a limo pulled up that I just assumed was Drew’s car. Then again, since they tape next door, why take a limo? As the car stopped out plopped Steven Cojocaru aka “Co Jo” from Entertainment Tonight, acting like a big Hollyweird star. He doesn’t make the huge money that Drew Carey makes, yet he’s driving in a limo. Turned out that Drew had walked over to the restaurant with his little gang, then he got in his own car and drove himself home. “Co Jo” went home in a stretch limo.

Only in…Hollyweird!
