Stevie Wonder Surprises Fans At The Grove – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

If you want to randomly run into a celebrity, you should start with no other place than The Grove in Los Angeles.

Every day, bigger and bigger stars are accidentally found roaming the beautiful outdoor shopping attraction.

Take today for example, I was walking around and all of the sudden, ran smack into one of the biggest musicians of all time: Stevie Wonder.

Extra TV broadcasts their shows from The Grove, and Mario Lopez was there as well and just as starstruck running into Stevie Wonder as I was. Check out the video:

Jersey Shore Cast Interviewed By Mario Lopez At The Grove – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

I wouldn’t be able to tell a Snooki apart from The Situation if I ran into them on the street – having never watched a single episode of the popular MTV show, Jersey Shore. But I know I am in rare company when it comes to knowing all about this latest crop of reality stars turned into instant celebrities.

Long-time celebrities such as Kanye West and David Beckham reportedly are huge fans of these reality stars and per the cast in the video below, each of those two celebs has asked the Jersey crew for their pictures.

Mario Lopez of Extra interviewed the Jersey Shore crew at The Grove (a popular shopping and celebrity hot spot in Los Angeles) today – and no questions were left unanswered!

The cast talked about their thoughts on The situation’s stint on Dancing with the Stars; Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi talked about her relationships with Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino and the man who proposed to her and she spoke her mind on being called a “Lindsay Lohan wannabe” by the judge trying her disturbance case; Ronnie Ortiz-Magro answered if he and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola are still together, and all answered how they feel about other stars being addicted to Jersey Shore.

Here are some video clips of the interview which will air in full on Wednesday.

Jenny McCarthy does not mince words.

When asked by Mario Lopez of Extra how she stays skinny, she replied: “I didn’t have to work out before 35 but now I have to so it’s the treadmill, bikram yoga, watching what I eat and of course great sex. Lots of great sex!”

That’s really good news not only for McCarthy but also for sports agent Paul Krepelka who she started dating in December after her sister set them up.

McCarthy also showed off some of the products from her new line of affordable eco-friendly baby clothing and bedding launched earlier this year. Called “Too Good,” the line uses materials which are non-toxic, 100% recyclable, and PVC free.
