DEBBIE REYNOLDS' PRIVATE RECEPTION FOR HER COSTUMES

Debbie Reynolds gave a private reception for all of us to see her extraordinary costume collection that is being auctioned off by Profiles in History. Over 30 years she has collected the most famous movie costumes in history--4000 pieces--and, at her own expense, maintained them. Let me emphasize 30 years because that's how long she has been asking Hollywood Guilds, The Motion Picture Academy, studios, and wealthy execs, producers and directors to fund a museum. Everyone has turned her down, and now she's made the very difficult decision to sell them. I am personally heartbroken for her, and furious at the entire industry. There are so many treasures--Marilyn Monroe's white dress, Joan Crawford waitress uniform, Audrey's "My Fair Lady" outfit, Julie from "Sound of Music," Garbo, Hepburn, Judy Garland, "Gigi," Brando---I can't possibly touch the surface of what she has. I stood there in the middle of all of it and cried. God Bless You, Debbie.

THE DARLING DAUGHTERS

PR Maven Katy Sweet started a group of mothers and daughters a few years ago. Once a year or so, the mothers and daughters all have lunch, but more often, now that the mothers are getting up there, the daughters meet to talk about what it's like taking care of a parent. We are of great help to each other. We gathered the other day at the Montage Beverly Hills.

(L-R) Danette Herman, Me, Lesley Ann Warren, Elizabeth Snead, Katy Sweet, and Bonnie Tiegel.

One heck of a group...............

Can't help it--

I LOVE VINCE IRIZARRY

I know "All My Children" is going off the air, and I hate that. I went to visit my friend, producer Hope Smith, to get the vibe at the studio. It's quite a family over there, and it's a shame they have to go their separate ways.

I have two favorite sexiest actors on daytime---Vince Irizarry, and Ronn Moss of "The Bold and the Beautiful." I couldn't help myself. I crashed in on Vince's dressing room. It's ok. We know each other.

CONGRATULATIONS DR. JESSICA WU

Incredibly talented and successful dermatologist Jessica Wu, just finished another "Good Morning, America" appearance to promote her new book, "Feed Your Face." She also spoke to a women's group in LA the other day where I saw her. Did you know that if you have a choice of tuna salad or veggie pizza, the pizza is better for your face/skin because of the tomatoes, and the tuna will hurt you? Apples are bad for the skin, too! Get this book. Your jaw will drop at the knowledge and tips---but your face won't.

TREVOR DALEY'S MONTHLY DINNERS

Trevor Daley, head of Senator Dianne Feinstein's office in Southern California, is a charming funny, right-on-top-of-it-guy, who has monthly dinners introducing interesting people to each other. Almost all are involved in politics or some form of government, and a few are from the entertainment industry as well. More and more frequently, the dinners have been at vermont restaurant in the Los Feliz area, and that restaurant is really cool--great food--great manager Bill Huggins---hot back room club and hot bar.

Last week's guests included Billie Greer, Schwarzenegger's head of LA when he was governor (don't ask--it's not her fault), John Duran, mayor of West Hollywood, Yvonne Bell, theatre development, Kevin Kish, lawyer from House of Justice, Roberto Munoz, PR, Samara Ashley, Port of Long Beach, Brian Johnson, running for assembly, brilliant graduates from Yale and Columbia, more lawyers, the head of Outfest...it goes on and on. Bravo, Trevor!
