In LA for the New Year thanks to a wedding - and it's a hoot already. Breakfast with two members of the cast of Melrose Place, coffee with a dancer auditioning to be J-Lo's little sister in a new reality TV show (gee, that sounds compelling.)

Also, I'd never noticed this before - people here go out in their pyjamas in the daytime. Emerging from a large house on the way up to the Hollywood Hills (and the infamous sign) comes a woman in her finest pink two-piece jammies complete with little white bunny-print motif, Prada bag in one hand and fully-dressed boyfriend in the other, off on a shopping trip seemingly on foot. In the local supermarket, the same thing - white jammie bottoms with teddy bears at the cigarette counter. Perhaps there's an understanding that it's acceptable in the neighbourhood because no-one who counts would be in the street to see them - they only really have to dress when they drive somewhere they're expected to Be Seen. Either that, or I expect this new trend in the pages of Vogue soon.

In the same supermarket I'm shocked for a second by a woman's face covered in bandages, until I realise that along with her overstuffed breasts it's self inflicted.

Coming soon... New Year's Eve at Scientology Central - the 'Celebrity Centre', Hollywood
