How will 2014 be remembered in Hollywood?
It’s another year out here for me in La-La Land, and it’s been the usual insanity.
Long flights, late nights and names in lights it’s not getting any less hectic. Not that I would change anything this is STILL the best job in the world.
So what were my highlights of 2014?
I’m finishing the year on a high, quite literally, writing this from the posh mountain retreat of Aspen as I film for Good Morning Britain and Lorraine before heading home to Scotland.
I’m also a bit short of breath after picking up the man-of-the-match award from Liverpool and Newcastle legend Barry Venison at a Football Remembers charity game out here.
No one in my family ever believed any of my old footie trophies back in the day so I’m fully expecting the usual jokes about whether it was Stevie Wonder handing out the awards when I get home.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had an eventful year in 2014. She gave birth to their daughter, which the couple inexplicably called North. So their sprog is called North West, which almost sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock thriller.
The pair got married, and then Kim got her legendary bahookie out for the world to ogle. I’m not saying I found it a bit odd-looking, but I really fancied a couple of large baked tatties afterwards.
A personal highlight of mine was writing and publishing a book with my pal Shari Low that became a best seller “Taking Hollywood” and we’ve just finished the sequel “Breaking Hollywood” which will be out next summer.
Still, it was received really well and Jackie Collins told me she liked the book only to be overtaken by sister Joan Collins, who said she loved it when we were all in the company of Raquel Welsh.
As I type this I think was I just dreaming and then I look at the pic!
Scottish star Gerard Butler and I enjoyed a few nights out but the best was his Hollywood birthday bash last month.
I sat next to Scottish actor Tony Curran and we did Scotland proudly by heckling when big Gerry made a speech. He then made us cry… by showing us his bank balance.
I think the iconic image of the year has to be that Oscars picture. It was called “The Selfie That Broke The Internet”.
It seems 2014, then, was the Year of the Selfie. Next week I’m going to take a look ahead to 2015.
Perhaps if Kim releases more pictures where she uses her bahookie to hold wine glasses then 2015 will be the Year of the Shelfie…?
