Neil Lane Adventures

Friday, 11:30 a.m.: I dip to Neil Lane for some diamond therapy. Neil welcomes me and I find myself standing next to Daniel Day Lewis and his wife, Rebecca, choosing some estate pieces. I fill my bags with bling. Thank you, Mr. Lane!

Quvenzhané Wallis, New BFF

Friday, 5 p.m.: I swing by the fabulous QVC Oscar Party at The Four Seasons where I chat with Quvenzhané Wallis (aka "Lil Q") about her poochie purses, macaroons (which, for the record, she doesn't like), and what she will be wearing for the Oscars.

Home-Cooked Dining

Friday, 8 p.m.: Arrive home to a dinner cooked by the gorgeous Dree Hemingway (who, the next day, won a Spirit award for her first film, Starlet) and her beau Phil Winser of Fat Radish. Lucky me.

Gossip on the Panel

Sunday, 4:30 p.m.: I sit on the panel with Giuliana, Kelly, and Kimora. We dish on the red carpet looks as they arrive: We debate what's in Bradley Cooper's hair, are shocked by the lack of Valentino on Anne Hathaway, and vote Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts our best dressed.

After-Party in Tuxes

Sunday, 7:30 p.m.: The grand finale: the after-party show. I don my custom-made Nellie Partow midnight blue tux — which she knocked up for me in one week — with my Aquazarra shoes and Jacob & Co. diamond finger shield. I fit in perfectly with my tux'ed co-hosts, Jason Kennedy, Dave Kranger, and Ross Matthews.
