The entrance to Vanity Nightclub in Las Vegas, NVNeverWood High's Carlos E. Lopez & DJ Clinton Sparks at Vanity

With a lost ATM card and $8 dollars and 79¢ to my name on a Saturday afternoon, I took what might have been the biggest gamble I've done in awhile (this week).

Hopped in a car and went to VIVA LAS VEGAS!

#1 Combo Meal at Sonic Burger (w/ cheese)... $7.99

Zoltar fortune telling machine... 50¢

Rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel... Comped

Celebrate with friends of NWH Laura & David Katzenberg... PRICELESS

NeverWood High would like to wish the Katzenberg twins a very special birthday with love.

A friend gave me a poker chip.  I placed a bet.  And I WON...  $300 bucks, new dance moves, a shout out from the DJ at the club and a lifetime of memories with good friends.  The Hard Times of Carlos E. Lopez goes to show that sometimes you just have to hop in a car and not look back.

Have the best day ever.  Twin power ignite.

Known as "Birthday Season" according to Ryan's pals, the birthday celebrations got a kick off start... sometime last week.

I've never been to so many birthday parties in one week, let alone SURPRISE ones.  But, it's not over yet the party bus will continue through the weekend.

Be sure to keep an eye out for Ryan's new television show on Nickelodean called Gigantic.  This new Nick series is about the chaotic life of being a Hollywood "It" kid.

Hey Ryan - how about telling the people over at Nickelodean to give NeverWood High a shout out.  Your not an "It" kid in this town unless you've got your photo in the NWH yearbook!

Have the best day ever Ryan!

We first met Bobby at Comic Con in San Diego and bonded over a game of connect 4 at the Wire Cafe.  For those of you dying for an up close and personal with Campo, then I suggest seeing The Final Destination in 3D.  

Have an amazing B-Day B.C. and we hope NeverWood High is your Final Destination!

NeverWood High would like to wish the beautiful Emma Roberts a very Happy Birthday!

Emma turned 19 today and celebrated Valentines Day earlier in the week at her premiere in Hollywood.  

If she wished for success during the blowing out of her birthday candles.  Then... I think her dream has already come true as one of the leading names in Young Hollywood.

Keep an eye out for Emma's new movies "What's Wrong with Virginia", "4.3.2.1", "Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac", & "It's Kind of a Funny Story".

Check out the trailer to her new movie out in theaters on Friday.  Click here Valentines Day.

Have the best day ever WOMAN!!!

Jewelry Designer - Loree Rodkin and Birthday Boy Brent Bolthouse

For the past 10 years of my life, there has been one man who has made sure my Birthday parties were always legendary.  

That would be because Brent Bolthouse is one of the greats in the book of nightlife legends.  

1987 - Bolthouse moved to Los Angeles from Joshua Tree, California.

1989 - Bolthouse Productions was founded.

1991 - Bolthouse partnered with Jenifer Rosero.

2005 - announced a partnership and became SBE.

Dec. 18, 2009 - Brent turned 40.

And that my friends is what brought 22 years of friendships built in Los Angeles, to celebrate the birth of a man that created so many memories for myself and so many others.

Brent has cornered the LA market and maintained an unparallel reputation for entertaining the world's celebrities, taste makers and industry powerplayers with their weekly soirees.  On any given night Bolthouse clubs catered to Los Angeles' most diverse crowd; including executives, artists, pop stars, children of the rich and famous, Academy Award winners and the affluent general public.  

Worlds collide at Bolthouse clubs: Rap stars mingle with socialites and actors party with CEO's of Fortune 500 companies, making Bolthouse's velvet ropes the toughest line to cross.

I mean... where else would I have seen the Britney and Justin dance off, Prince sing Purple Rain, Drew Barrymore stamping wrists as a cashier, Leo Dicaprio rise to super stardom and a young girl who went by the name of Paris Hilton mesmerize a nation.  A place where Hollywood starlets were friends one week and not the next... (and then friends again).

These truly were places where everyone knew your name (or at least who you were).

For this I thank you Brent and wish you the happiest of Birthdays.  Because of you and Jen Rosero, I have some AMAZING friendships that started from a production known to the world as Bolthouse.

Known to me as family.

Check out photos from Brent's birthday last night.  The live performances were phenomenal (so many other performers went on that were not photographed).
