Super Bowl Sunday and Awkward Moments

Happy Super Bowl Sunday from New York City!  I've gotten to cover Super Bowl in the past in other cities such as Phoenix, Dallas, Tampa and Miami but this year, the game came to me. Last night was DirecTV's annual Super Saturday night, which always features a live performance and this year definitely didn't disappoint. Jay-Z was the scheduled performer and not only was he awesome but Beyonce even joined him for a song too!

I am seriously obsessed with these two! Cutest couple ever. Justin Bieber is also in town for Super Bowl and was spotted skateboarding through the 11th Annual Leather and Laces party, which we went to on Friday. At least it's better than drag racing while high on weed and Xanax, right?

In other celeb encounter news, I got to sit down with the cast of That Awkward Moment recently, including Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller. The movie is sort of a rom-com from a male perspective about three best friends who vow to stay single in NYC.  Living in Manhattan, you recognize a lot of the places they filmed and can definitely relate to some of the situations! You can see some of the interviews below:

For all those wondering, yes, Zac really is just as cute in person as he looks. I also realized I never wrote about my Sundance trip because I got sick afterwards and was trying to catch up on work and get better for this weekend, but it was amazing. The weather was perfect and our house crew was the best. I finally got to ski this year, too!

I've also been busy apartment hunting as I'm moving out of my current place, which I've lived in for 3 years. I'm happy to report that after a week of searching and seeing depressingly shoebox sized apartments, two of my best friends Katie, Lindsay and I found a spacious and charming new place with an awesome bar right off our lobby. Success! We celebrated last night with a delicious dinner at Benjamin Steak, where we sat by Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick who were on a dinner date. You can tell they're still totally in love. 

Besties and now roomies!

Success! If anyone has any great mover recommendations, holler. In the meantime, I'm off to get ready for the game. GO BRONCOS!

Movember Madness

Can you believe we're halfway through November? This month is also known as Movember or "No Shave November", and if you've noticed more men than usual sporting moustaches as of late, here's why. Starting November 1, many dudes donate their face and vow to grow a mo for the whole month to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer.

Last year, Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz, Kevin Connolly and even Justin Bieber participated:

Biebs' attempt at growing a mo

Ladies can get involved, too. My dad is a prostate cancer survivor and one of my best friends used to work for the campaign, so we do a yearly fundraising team called Mo Babes where we raise money together and throw a super fun party. Here's a shot from last year, held at the Tribeca Grand:

Our fiesta this year is going down at the legendary venue Southside, and if you live in NYC, you should join the party on November 29! Southside + open bar + moustaches = guaranteed good times. You can get your tickets here. Glowstick mos are highly encouraged.

And if you can't come to the extravaganza, feel free to donate to our team here. Even a dollar or two helps. Thanks for your support and hope to see you at our moustache bash!
