Last Friday

I spent all day last Friday with Marilu Henner (actress on Taxi and Celebrity Apprentice and author) and Gunnar Peterson (celebrity personal trainer to the stars). They were in town for a book-signing at Barnes & Noble by Quail Springs Mall. I had a blast. They were so nice and down to earth. However, they didn't really like each other too much. They both loved Oklahoma City. In fact, Gunnar is coming back to visit in mid-June. They both talked about how tired they are of Los Angeles and the lifestyle of being a celebrity in Los Angeles.

One a funny note, I ordered my first ever Salad while at lunch with them on Friday. We went to Nonna's in Bricktown. I leaned over to ask Gunnar what I should order. Gunnar laughed at me when I said, "Dude, flip the menu, you're looking at the salad page." After he flipped it I said, "I've never eaten a salad in my life." I never thought he would stop laughing.

I took them to several interviews while they were in town. Once we all learned of Marilu's strict diet, Gunnar was all over her for it. He was constantly cracking jokes about eating steak and other "chemicals." She is a no dairy lady. She talked a lot about the hazards on dairy on our bodies. I thought she was a lovely lady but she was annoying Gunnar and Caralyn, his business partner, in the worst way. Because of that, Gunnar, Caralyn and myself would sneak off to eat frozen yogurt. We were all laughing because we didn't want Marilu to see us.

I took them to the OKC Memorial and we listened to Jamie Smith doing her sound check for a performance on the next day. All of them, Gunnar, Caralyn and Marilu cried. Each one of them was taken over by their emotions at the memorial. Jamie came over and gave them copies of her brand new CD. You would have thought they just won an Emmy. Gunnar kept talking about how cool that was. He was so excited to have her new CD. Marilu mentioned it again several times during the day as well.

You can watch a Gunnar video that was recorded at The Oklahoman below. Gunnar references my "No Salad Eating Diet of Champions" during his video. I was just behind the camera and we laughed about it all day. I have posted the photos for you to enjoy also.
