New Years Eve, 2012

[Halien Grandma]

Happy New Year everyone! I thought this a good place to post because I met the producer from E! on New Year's. However, she's a newbie and works in production, editing the US shows to suit the UK and European market...not quite what I was expecting. She's done news reporting prior to her current job, mind you, and also plans to climb the ranks. But for now, she's in no position to help our Haley. But...that's ok! I got to talk Haley up, and gave her the deluxe version of Listen Up as well. The good news is that she and my daughter are like Fric and Frac together, And her best male friend is Rich; the other half of John Jay and Rich. And Rich also came to the party. I TRIED to nail him down that night to talk about Haley as he is a huge fan of hers after meeting her at the Parrot Club back in...June?...I think it was. But it was a full house of people, and I spent more time talking to his wife (about kids). He'd scoot by, give me a hug and call me granny, and would then be whisked off by someone else. LOL What can you do? It's a party! No place for serious business! And I don't even know what Rich could do for Haley anyway. He's a well-paid DJ, but he's not the program director. Does anyone know how much influence he would have on the songs being played? I have another chance to see him at the end of the March and I don't want to look like an airhead.

It's my hope that we'll soon know Haley's future plans. She's recording a new album but who's financing that? Maybe these people can help down the road, but I'd like to be armed with more info. And I'd like to sound intelligent as opposed to a groupie. YES...I'm a groupie of Haley's! Pathetically so! But no one outside of this forum needs (or even wants) to know that! LOL Rich may not be able to help Haley directly, for example, but he may know people who can. He's meeting celebs all of the time.

Feel free to comment, advise or criticize. If you think, or don't think, these contacts are worthwhile, please say so. I know that it's always a good thing to talk Haley up! No problem there. But I have to get in quick, and get out, as it were, so need to be asking the right questions. I DON'T want to turn Rich off, for example. He's probably approached by wannabe's all of the time. And Miguel...feel free to move this to an appropriate place in the forum.
