who knew that sharon stone (50) & melanie griffith (50) were such good pals?!? the two actresses were spotted out having lunch at the ivy (aka known as a paparazzi hunting ground) and then went shopping together at les habitudes - i do adore ms. stone (if i were forced to pick out my favorite movie starring ms. stone it would have to be casino) but i freakin' love ms. griffith - she's total hot mess & high camp - i swear you must see her '92 flick shining through - which was completely blasted by critics but it's a total guilty pleasure of mine plus she's great in working girl and cecil b. demented! anyways i'm super stoked that tomorrow is friday and earlier this evening i secured myself tickets to see legendary tina turner in concert when she stops by staples center on october 13th - i'm beyond excited - although it's like five months away :( popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
