Elvis Karaoke with George Lopez

Stories 22 Aug 2014 Mar Yvette

Hey, hound dogs! Other than sumo wrestlers and woof woofs, there's nothing that puts a bigger smile on my face than belting it out with a buncha Elvii (while wearing the the most ridiculous wig ever). Throw in George Lopez and it really doesn't get much better than that.

Deep-Fried Madness & The Age of Aquarius

Stories 8 Aug 2014 Mar Yvette

Holy, deep-fried frog legs! It's the last weekend of the OC Fair, so I brought crazy Chicken Charlie to the studio (despite my better vegan instincts) and had another incredible bucket list experience singing "Let the Sunshine In" and "Age of Aquarius" with the legendary 5th Dimension ... on live TV!

Lisa Vanderpump’s New Hot Spot

Stories 9 May 2014 Mar Yvette

Life isn't always diamonds and champagne, but if "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump has her way, it will be at PUMP, her new restaurant and lounge opening this month in West Hollywood. I had her on the show today to tell us about the parking lot she has "transformed into a beautiful garden from the South of France."

Bollywood Dancing & Eat LBC!

Stories 27 Mar 2014 Mar Yvette

It's time to raise a fork to Eat LBC, the first-ever Long Beach Restaurant Week, taking place March 30 – April 5. More than 50 eateries are participating including Open Sesame, my new fave spot for delicious Lebanese cuisine. But if you're gonna eat all that food, you better move that body ... and you may as well do it Bollywood style with the fabulous Bolly Divas!

El Nosh Truck & Grammy Winners Pacific Mambo Orchestra!

Stories 27 Jan 2014 Mar Yvette

I'm patting myself on the back for booking Pacific Mambo Orchestra on the show last week. This modern mambo 19-piece orchestra won the 2014 GRAMMY for Best Tropical Latin Album!!! Not only did they beat out such stellar artists as Marc Anthony, but they did it without a record label. (Just like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.) Speaking of Latin, I also brought El Ñosh, a new food truck serving up Latin-Jewish eats like falafel tacos. Read on ...

Oh, yeahhhhh. The OG renegade from the 90s is back! Lorenzo Lamas stopped by today to invite me and you to join him on The Greatest Escape, a motorcycle fundraising ride from Marina Del Rey to Malibu. And... I also previewed the OC Fest of Ales that gave me my very first beer foam experience!

Color Me Badd in LA … WHAT?!!

Stories 30 Jun 2012 Mar Yvette

Dream on, dream away ... if that simple verse takes you back to the dreamy days of the 90s -- that decade of one-shoulder overalls, mommy jeans (finished off with a silver-tip buckled belt, naturally) and "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" -- then hold on to your buttoned-up-to-the-collar shirt because Color Me Badd is back in full effect and ready to belt it out in LA for one night only on Saturday, July 7 at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center.
