Meanwhile — Beverly Sparks-Ramajones interviews “After Judgment” star Stephanie Thorpe on Excess Hollywood, but Stephanie just doesn’t really understand the importance of cute celebrity children or Beverly finding just the perfect hair.
Yes, Beverly enters the world of internet movie making but puts the focus right back on her — with an upcoming gig to sing at the Optimist Club awards night, how can she really concentrate anything else?

Roger (Jeremy Miller) is thrilled to announce a “Growing Pains” reunion, the staff follows the secret life of a celeb-obsessed anorexic which Beverly (Marié Lake) finds very brave and the Biggestwannabe Network is asking for your downloads if you can impersonate any young Hollywood pop stars. “American Idol” meets Palmdale.

In episode 2 sometimes confused, but always enthusiastic anchor Beverly Sparks-Ramajones (Marié Lake) makes lively banter with veteran field reporter Chet Steele (“the Bachelorette’s Jonathan Novack). Apparently, celebrity pet adoptions aren’t as easy as you think. Check here for updates on all the latest celebrity news from Palmdale, California. And if there isn’t any… Beverly can always talk about the local optimist club events and her hot husband Fernando Ramajones.
First things first, this Thursday, Jan. 5 @ 8:00 p.m. I will be in the Main Room of the Comedy Store, 8433 Sunset Blvd. Yes this is the room where careers of Richard Pryor and Robin Williams began, and I will be in the green room setting my smoothie on the glass table where the cocaine was originally snorted.

As far as the 12 days of single Christmas, those of you who followed my fanpage know that it involved a trek to Barstow and a little breakdown at Whole Foods. But the highlight was two nights ago when the film exec I used to temp for, the object of my enormous crush, which for one night of my life last year was mutual, called and texted me at 3 a.m with a confession of love. He then texted me back to say it was just a drunken stupor…ah.
He is the subject of a spoken word piece I wrote about what it’s like to have a fantasy about someone, then have it come true for one night and then get way too excited. So excited that I could barely work at my day job without stepping out to call a friend or weep. I tend to be very enthusiastic, despite the jaded comedy world I live in, and am very motivated by love, even when the relationship is mostly in my head.
What was weird about the holiday call is that he kept professing his love and his desire to take me shopping and spoil me. Now he is part Persian and maybe it is cultural. I did, however take offense when he took it all back by text. I mean it’s one thing to lie about your feelings, but to lie about shopping?! That really hurts.
Two things I learned this holiday season. One, things change and people do come back when you least expect it. And two, I am still motivated by love, because I am ready to take on 2012.
Check out this “Arm Candy” short of another date I had with a Persian guy — it’s beginning to become a pattern.
Tonight I was at the local bar R + D Kitchen (“Rich and Divorced”) and an airline pilot said “you’re a comic? I’ll come see your show” and I started giggling and then laughing like a maniac. If there is one thing I don’t want to hear it is either that…or worse “I love female comedy…I’ll come out and see you.”
No you won’t and here are the top 7 reasons why (and the perpetrators –based on true stories).
Why I am saying I will come out for your comedy show but really won’t.:
Reason #1. My actress friend: You didn’t calendar it and three emails, 2 texts and a visit to your horrific equity waiver play the week before wasn’t enough of a reminder.
Reason #2. My network marketing friend who “wants to empower women ” with a skin care business: Your husband doesn’t want to leave the house.
Reason #3. Most guys I meet:You know it won’t be a date.
Reason #4. The guy I met at the Greek Festival (btw, really fun, excellent food and belly dance scarves): You can’t take all the focus and talk about real comics like Shecky Green and Lenny Bruce, you will have to be quiet and watch me be funny.
Reason #5. Just about everyone (including me): You “yes” everyone and then don’t follow through because this is L.A.
Reason #6. My friend in the valley: You don’t want your roommate to wait for the cable guy alone.
Reason #7. The businessman I met on the flight from San Francisco: You were stuck at a business meeting that ended miraculously right after my show so you are now available for late drinks.
Wow don’t mean to sound so angry. Just frustrated. If you want to see more female comics not only in clubs, movies, sitcoms, giving a different point of view try showing up for them. But don’t worry I am working on a plan to get more people out…it involves bribery with cake.
I would show up for cake.

I am back from my tour of Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe) for the solo comedy show “Trophy Life.” Very exciting to have sold some professionals on this concept, a comedy show with stand-up, songs, and bad self-help. Meanwhile, folks are digging my show, especially the little bits of pathos I have thrown in. Definitely need to get a better cell phone cam for Scotland.
here is a little tease, my arm candy set on relationships.
As always, thanks for your support .
