Soleil Moon Frye – Punky Brewster – Writes Parenting Book! (Photos/Video)

SPOTTED: Soleil Moon Frye at a book signing and fan meet and greet at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA August 31, 2011.

You will best remember Soleil Moon Frye from the popular ’80s TV comedy series Punky Brewster, about a spunky, enthusiastic, and positive orphan adopted by a lonely old man. Soleil is still spunky, enthusiastic, and positive, now as an entrepreneur and social media maven. She even has authored parenting advice book, Happy Chaos, published this month.

Happy Chaos is the sign of a family operating at its best-when parents accept that they’ll make mistakes, that there will be messes, tears and skinned knees. Here is an excerpt from the book (Watch a video below of Soleil reading a story from the book):Publish Post

“I was seven years old when I walked onto the set of ‘Punky Brewster,’ a show about a little girl who was abandoned by her mother in a grocery store. I think of it now and smile as I imagine them pitching the series. A show about a kid whose parents abandoned her at the tender age of seven… and it’s a comedy! Then she narrowly escapes being sent to an orphanage… an orphanage!

“This wasn’t a drama — or a novel by Dickens — this was a prime-time sitcom on NBC. Amazing. Even more amazing, Punky wasn’t saved from the orphanage by a mom and a dad with a big house and a backyard. Instead, she and her dog, Brandon, were taken in by a grumpy old man. And together they made a family.”

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Bachelor Pad’s Erica Rose On Kissing Jake Pavelka

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.

On the August 15 episode of Bachelor Pad, the beautiful Erica Rose was used as a human paint target during the “Target On Your Back” immunity challenge. Since that show’s airing, Erica sat down with me for a video interview (watch below) and opened up about her feelings after being voted as the least attractive female in the Bachelor Pad house. She also told me that some of the guys, including Michael Stagliano, have since talked to her about why they voted the way they did. Erica actually watched that episode with her mother who was outraged over the treatment of her daughter but Erica has received so much love via Twitter since the show aired, that she feels much better now.

In the interview which can be watched below, Erica also spilled the beans about this Monday’s upcoming episode (August 22, 2011) where she kisses Jake Pavelka. “Jake is a good kisser,” Erica said. “He was on The Bachelor, so he knows what he is doing.”

Erica said she doesn’t know why she was the only one in the BP house who was going after Jake considering he was the bachelor and not just a contestant like the rest of the guys. Erica also talked about how hooking up with Jake made things a bit awkward with Jake’s ex, Vienna Girardi, who is now a good friend of Erica’s. Erica also said that the on-going feud between Jake and Vienna’s current beau, Kasey Kahl, will send one of those men packing after Monday’s eviction. So much to look forward to tonight!

Watch my interview video with Erica below to find out if the romance between Jake and Erica is still on and what Erica’s future looks like (hint, she is about to graduate from University Of Houston Law School! And, she is realeasing her Dr. Phil inspired Stiletto Bikini Blast workout):

Here are some photos of Erica from her interview with Extra TV at The Grove:

Vienna Girardi & Kasey Kahl: “Bachelor Pad Strengthened Our Relationship!” (EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS AND VIDEO)

SPOTTED: Vienna Girardi (Bachelor winner, Bachelor Pad 2) and her boyfriend, Kasey Kahl (Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad 2) were at The Grove in Los Angeles Thursday August 4, 2011, for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra.

This was the first public outing for a very happy Vienna who just got the nose job she has wanted since she was 9 years old. And let me tell you, she looks awesome! Good news for you, I was one of two photographers there, so, you’re getting pretty rare photos here! The surgery was done by plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose of Houston — The father of fellow Bachelor Pad 2 star, Erica Rose.

“I always felt like I had this little face with, like, a Mr. Potato Head nose!” Giradi recently told Us magazine. “In school, they called me Pinocchio. After ‘The Bachelor,’ bloggers called me ‘horse face.’ Evil names. I even went blonde because my dark hair made my nose look bigger!”

Vienna and Kasey arrived on set today just minutes after Vienna’s ex, Jake Pavelka, had left (See Jake’s photos and interview here), but it didn’t matter to Vienna. She and Kasey looked like two happy love birds and said Bachelor Pad 2 helped strengthen their relationship. Just recently, Vienna had Tweeted: “I love my boyfriend very much @KaseyRKahl Bachelor Pad made our relationship even stronger… Thanks ABC.”

Vienna said today that she had no idea Jake would be on BP 2 until two days before they started shooting. Kasey said he was happy he was in the BP 2 house with the ex-fiances so he could protect Vienna from Jake. OH I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH it all on BACHELOR PAD 2!

Colbie Caillat became a household name when her song Bubbly went from Myspace sensation to a worldwide smash hit in 2007. Since, she’s won a Grammy and has put out one chart topper single after another. She was spotted Monday at The Grove in Los Angeles for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra.

Colbie has just put out her third album All Of You which she says is very familiar in sound to her last, having a bit of pop, acoustic, and summery vibe. About the sad love songs on the album, she says they’re about a man she broke up with. She wrote I Never Told You after the two broke up and she started missing him. The other love songs on the new album are about relationships and the ups and downs of falling in love.

Look below for a video with part of her Extra interview. I will also post here videos of two live musical performances by Colbie later.
