Behind the Scenes: Season 6 Premiere of Hawaii Five-0
The Hawaii Five-0 season premiere has become a tradition of sorts for my family and I. I don’t have a very good memory so I just re-read my “Hawaii Five-0: Over the Years” and “Behind the Scenes: Season 5 Red Carpet” blogs… I have more fun at these events than I even remember! Thank… Read More
The “Maya Habit” – Meeting the President’s Sis…

Evan Rachel Wood has been in movies with Ryan Gosling and George Clooney (Ides of March) and is a phenomenal singer but to be honest with you I actually didn’t really know who she was.
