Miss Texas Summary...in my own words

Miss Houston Wins for 2nd year in a row

Just when I thought I've done everything on TV... up pops the biggest statewide beauty pageant  in the nation.  It was a great reason to return to Texas.  Even though I hung out with 132 beautiful young ladies, it was still hard work.  There was very little down time and understanding the blocking as emcee was a lot to learn in just a couple of days.   Plus every contestant seemed to pronounce their name or city/county different than I've ever heard. It's a Texas thing.

My Co-host Kandace Krueger Matthews and I worked really well together.  And, Mandy J from season 5 The Bachelor, (my bud from Austin) wrote a great script.   Miss Texas Teen USA  Raevan Valadez and 2006 Miss Texas Lauren Lanning rounded out the hosting duties.  Everyone was awesome. And the production staff was top notch.

The first contestant I made eye contact with on Friday, actually won the whole thing.  Miss Houston Magen Ellis was placed next to me and was choreographed to put her hand on my shoulder during the show open.  I was really impressed with her beauty and charm. Especially once I found out she was only 19!  As happy as I was for Magen, I was equally as disappointed for Crystle the runner up.  She has been the runner up several times and can't seem to get over the hump.  However, I believe there is a reason why... and it is only a matter of time before we all figure out why.

The best part of the evening was when it was down to the final 2 ladies, Magen and Crystle.  They were expecting me to make a joke just seconds before announcing the winner.  They were NOT expecting me to pull a double whammy by pulling a "We'll find out After the Break" folllowed by a "oops wrong show" 

 DENNIS HOPPER:  Easy Rider himself stopped by Fox 5 to chat about his favorite roles... his involvement with CineVegas, and his fondness of Las Vegas.

ARTIE LANGE:  From the Howard Stern Show popped in to plug his movie "Beer League."  Other cast members came too.  After the interview, it was easier to digest why Stern had so many problems with the FCC.

January 25 - Feb 1:  Vienna, Prague, Budapest in a week

While most Americans visit Western Europe, Yours truly decided to trace his roots back to Hungary.  Budapest is an amazing city, but I did not locate any long lost relatives. I did get ripped off several times by cab drivers.  Vienna (Wien) and Prague (Praha) were also amazing. I highly recommend visiting these cities.  Most people speak at least a little English, and there are Internet Cafe's all over the place.  Here are some pictures  Also, I posted the emails I sent home while on the trip.  for now AUF WIEDERSCHAUEN!

DAY ONE
I won't get all Anne Frank on your butts, but I wanted to let you know Vienna (Wien) is great and freezing. I did some night time sight seeing and noticed the shops are about 80% completely foreign...which I like. They do have Foot Locker, Nike Vienna, McDonalds and of course Starbucks!  I told the barista I came all the way from LA to come to Starbucks. She thought I was serious and said she was nervous to make my coffee. The nightlife is on Stephansplatz. (platz = place I think) I talked to Markus the doorman at a bar last night. He was excited about his new girlfriend who is a gogo dancer at a Discoteque. I met her. She is also an opera singer. Sounds a lot like Hollywood. They have a version of E! playing on TV, but it doesn't have the word E! so they thought I was crazy. I haven't told anyone Arnold is my Governor yet. I almost went to see Match Point, but a nice old lady told me it's all in German, not even English subtitles. Today, I'll head to the Museum Quarter and more shopping. It's officially Mozarts birthday today. But I don't think the bastard is going to show.  It's too cold for a 250 year old man!

 Auf Wiederschauen

DAY TWO:
Like most tourists, I walked all day long.  St. Stephans Cathedral was by far the most impressive. I think better than Notre Dame in Paris. Mozarts birthday was big... as he favored Vienna over Straussberg anyway. And all the archetecture is amazing. The best was my evening.  With the exception of my camera being stolen :(
I went to a bar called Kitch, then Kactus, then a hot night club called Passage.  A guy named Atilla
befriended me, and I went with him from Kactus to Passage. He was with one other guy and two girls.  One
looked like Justine Bateman... who she is not familiar with. The girls are gorgeous, and all have one thing in
common.  They are 19 years old and live with their parents. NO JOKE.  Am I old or are they very young? The Justine Bateman girl has the same birthday as me. Except she was born in 1986!!! I told her to come to
Vegas for her 21st.  She said she's only turning 20 and would have to ask her mom.
I will say, they were all very mature for being young. I actually didn't feel out of place.  Atilla will be
training in hotel management in San Diego for 18 months. So some of you may meet him. Headed to Prague
now. It's about 1PM Saturday as I write this. Still freezing. Hopefully they'll speak English as well as the
Austrians
J 

DAY 3

I'll keep it short because it's Sunday...and no one is checking email.  Prague is even colder than Vienna. Haven't seen anything during the day yet, but last night I went for a jog, where I think my contact lenses started to form Icycles. I saw a pretty big picture of the colonel... that read
KFC 2 KM. It wasn't as big as Saddam or the Ayatolla, but Czechs take their chicken seriouly I guess. Kind of like Will Ferrell in Old School. Anyway headed to the castles now.

DAY 4 & 5

Hey everybody

Prague is the most amazing city. Hard to believe they were communist not too long ago. However no Starbucks. Every corner you turn there is something more and more incredible. My camera was one casualty of the trip, so I bought a disposable.  Which is stupid because my pictures dont do any of these cities justice. The food is spectacular, and Hungarian wine is great. Budapest is the least toured of the 3 cities, but It has real potential.  Everything is grand. I asked a taxi driver what one palacial looking structure was... and he said
its a hotel.  I eluded a pick pocketer in a Prague train station... and got thoroughly ripped off by just about everyone in Budapest.  I think there is a statue of Attila the Hun, so Im off to get a picture next to him
be back tomorrow Wednesday.


January 2006:  Continued talks to host a Las Vegas Morning Show on Fox. After auditions and an extensive interview process, both parties agreed to a long term deal to host "Fox News This Morning" on KVVU TV Fox 5.  Start date is sometime in early February.
December 31st New Years Eve: Shannon hosted a party at Tangerine, inside the Treasure Island. Once again a VIP room. Lance Bass and several actor friends joined Shannon for the countdown.  Because Shannon was contracted by Treasure Island, we were not allowed to go to some of the competing shindigs. Like Paris Hilton's party at Tao, Kid Rock's party at Jet, Nikki Hilton's party at Pure or Kanye West's bash at the Alladin. So, we all wound up at Drais, inside the Barbary Coast. Christian Lassen the famous painter joined us, and same with my agent Alec Shankman, and Ch. 4's Ted Chen.

December 30th:  Black Eyed Peas concert at Mandalay. Went with Shannon Elizabeth, her friend Bob and my friend Sonki. Shannon went back stage and chatted with the band. Later Will, the lead singer, showed up to a club we were at and hung out with us. Shannon also had a VIP table at Pure Nightclub in Caesars Palace.

December 29:  Opening night of Tryst Nightclub at the Wynn Hotel.

December 8th: NBC/Universal Party w private screening of "King Kong" Went with Channel 4 Anchor/Reporter Ted Chen, Channel 4 reporter Gordon Takamatsu, Fox 5 Vegas Weekend Anchor Lorraine Blanco and her friend Mari from KNSD in San Diego.  Once again cold night. Most of the party was the screening, but there was a dinner held outdoors. We all loaded up on the free cookies and treats before heading into the show. Movie was good, but long.

December 6th:  E! Christmas party. Held in Hollywood. Cold night so heat lamps were a must outside. CEO Ted Harbert lead a lengthy raffle...in which I won nada!  DJ was pretty good and saw a lot of old familiar faces.

December 2nd: Side project WWW.DesperateHouseHounds.com gets first media coverage on radio station "The Phoenix 1450" in Wilkes-Barre PA.  Topics touched on included The Arfstrong Neckie (partnership w/ Shannon Elizabeth's Animal Avengers charity) and the Soap Opera "Dog Days of Our Lives"

The after party was at Tao in the Venetian Hotel.  Amongst the bids... Lance pledged 30 grand for a private snowboarding lesson with bandmate Justin Timberlake. See celeb pics for more.
