If you weren’t able to make it to Rio de Janeiro for the big parade and celebration, Brazilian Carnaval Exotica here in LA is the closest you can get to the real thing. Now in its 13th year, the all-night, all-ages party happens Saturday, March 2 at Club Nokia with non-stop Brazilian music, samba dancers, [...]

Did you know that Saturday, February 23 was World Sword Swallowers Day??? To celebrate, I had some incredible (and ridiculously brave) folks come to the studio to amaze us with their sword swallowing skills. I saw it all go down with my own eyes and I still can't believe it! Special thanks to Brett Loudermilk and Amy Judd Lieberman from Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the cast of Venice Beach Freak Show featuring Morgue, Asia Ray and Brianna Belladonna.

Fox Gives is a group of Fox staff volunteers who work with local non-profits that focus primarily on helping at-risk youth as well as feeding the homeless and improving the environment. Today, I was at the annual Fox Gives Fair & Pet Adoption on the Fox Studios lot where hundreds of people gathered to play carnival games to raise money for the 30+ charities that were onsite, plus meet some adorable furry friends (cats, dogs and rabbits!) from local shelters and animal rescues like the Best Friends Animal Society - Los Angeles!!!

If you've driven down The Sunset Strip, you've seen those giant Gibson Guitars lining the street. Now those 10-foot tall fiberglass Les Paul guitars are being auctioned off for charity from Bonhams & Butterfields. Each of the 18 guitars is a one-of-a-kind piece from artists like Shepard Fairey and Tristan Eaton and can be yours for $3k-$5k … not as much as I thought they'd be!! All of the proceeds from this auction benefit the “Arts Matter” campaign, which supports art and music education in LA public schools.

Today was a first in Weekend Roundup history as Marco Lopez surprised his longtime girlfriend, Ashlee Regan, with a marriage proposal on live TV!!! She honestly had NO idea this would become the most unforgettable Valentine's Day of her life - we did everything from turn down the TV monitors to taking away her phone to make sure the secret wasn't revealed. Of course, she said yes! Special thanks to Antonello Ristorante for giving the couple a fabulous V-Day dinner (you can enjoy your own Aphrodisiac Menu all weekend for just $35!) and indie-pop French band Nous Non Plus who set the mood with a gorgeous French rendition of The Beatles' "I Love Her." Ah, l'amour!
