Haley, Casey and Pia to be at LA Holiday Tree Lighting Tonight

[Miguel]

Holiday Tree Lighting in Nokia Plaza at L.A. Live
Friday, December 2nd from 7-8 PM. <--- PST

L.A. Live's non-traditional holiday tree got plenty of mixed reviews when it made its debut in 2008, but the LED-orbed structure has done well enough to return Downtown for its fourth year on Friday. The 54-foot metal structure includes 10,000 lights.

For the second time, the tree lighting will be a live television event. Pop artist JoJo, American Idol's Pia Toscano, Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart, The Singoff's The Backbeats, singer Patti Austin with Greg Phillinganes and The Voice's Javier Colon will perform in the one-hour ceremony. Ice skating Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek will also perform.

KTLA will be broadcasting this event live. http://www.ktla.com/

They've been having high winds in Southern California, but they're expected to die down this afternoon:

Hmmm, I'll bet when the owner of this car parked under this tree, he/she thought the worst thing that could happen would be a bird crapping on it.

It's a great picture. When I saw it, I imagined it could be used to create an amusing poster given the right caption.

Pick a title:
1. Hmmm, I hope a bird doesn’t crap on it while I’m shopping.
2. I swear officer, it came out of nowhere!
3. All I know is that it wasn’t there when I went to bed last night!
4. Dad, I swear it wasn’t my fault!
5. Honey, you know that huge oak tree on Main Street?
6. I was only inside for 5 minutes!
7. I swear, I didn’t know it was a tree crossing zone!
8. I was wondering why that parking space was empty.

It must be a great time to be Haley. Just turned 21, recording her first album. And performing live in LA before a crowd. So much has changed for her in just a year.

buggedOUT reports on IF:

The performance was FLAWLESS! I'm still shaking. I didn't get video, someone else did, but I got tons of pics. I even met her. She's such a sweetheart.

Good to hear the performance went well. I thought BICO was a little sloppy in Chicago. I'm sure they wanted to do well in LA given there are so many industry types there.

figure8 posted a bunch of tweets and pictures tweeted/linked to by @ArchuletaCrazy. Including these:




Haley catching my blow kiss lol





Those shorts in the first pic might be the most tacky thing I've seen Haley wear. But hey, it's December in LA! Baby It's (Not) Cold Outside.

I missed it by a few days. I'm going back to CA next week to see my daughters

You clearly need some help in maximizing the value of your travel dollar.
