Brenda's Back in Hollywood!
Red Carpet Madness with her Friends

	Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival My press agent Edward Lozzie did it again. What a fabulous press event. If you have a chance to see "Driven to Stardom," go see it! It's the life story of legend Tony Curtis. He actually narrates most of the film. It's divine, starting with his humble beginnings as Bernie Schwartz, until his death. What a heart throb. One of the best looking men on Earth. He tells a story of one of his first love affairs, with Marilyn Monroe, how she would wear a see-through blouse to the Paramount lot. The writers would hang out the windows of their offices and applaud her. He had a huge body of work. Just to name a few, "Some Like it Hot" and "Trapeze," and even his darker film "The Boston Strangler" was interesting. It was completely fascinating, from beginning to end. The producer Hillary Helstein attended. Great film. This star studded event included Mamie van Doren (who appeared in the film with a young Tony), John Voight, Sally Kellerman (also in the film with Tony), Jack Klugman, Marty Ingles, Ed Lauther, Jean Dujard (star of the recent Best Picture winning silent film "The Artist"), and so many more.   Pictures by Jeff Knight

Brenda Attends a Jewelry Party I attended a great party at John Seitz's, editor of the Beverly Hills Courier. It was a jewelry party. Here I am trying on some of the goods. Coldwell Southerland is John's ex wife and the designer. I had a ball. I am wearing a Gorgio Armani see-through black blouse, french riding pants, and riding boots.	Photo by Maxine Picard
	Brenda attends the Oscar party at the Beverly Hills Hotel I did so many interviews, I have never seen such a long red carpet line in my life. My press agent Edward Lozzie put this together with Norby Walters, the head of Night of 100 Stars. The room was packed with stars. It took me over an hour to get through the 2 press lines. I gave all kinds of interviews on camera. The darker picture is me waiting in the press room. I wanted Meryl Streep to win, and she did! I attended Mr. Weinstein's party at the Sky Bar in Hollywood ..Meryl Streep arrived, looking beautiful, carrying her Oscar. It was a night to remember.   I am wearing Herve Leger, a beautiful flesh colored gown, and Stuart Weisman shoes from his glamour collection.
I may be coming out with a new jewelry line. We'll see; it may be out in a few months. Very affordable, the pieces will be real stones that primarily range from $500.00 to $100.00. Gorgeous statement jewelry. The couture line from $700.00 to $1000.00. This will be a piece from my new line.          Both Richard Dreyfuss and I enjoyed the time we spent at the Night of 100 Stars; it was such an interesting mix of stars, everyone from Connie Stevens to Gary Busey. I ran into alot of CBS people, even Wink Martindale who is in the process of doing another game show. Hundreds of stars and press attended.

	Domingo Zapata's Oscar Art Show I attended a star studded event, artist Domingo Zapata's Oscar Art Show at Mr. C's Hotel in Beverly Hills. His art was blown up on the walls of the hotel. Lots of champagne flowing. Just a great experience. Among his admirers who appeared were Lindsey Lohan, who appeared looking adorable in a long blond bang look. Mr. Domingo just sold his painting of Lindsey Lohan for $100,000, so she is definitely one of his subjects. Also Tara Reid, Mischa Barton, Lady Victoria Hevey, Linda Thompson and most of the Beverly Hills housewives. Pretty impressive following. His art is stunningly modern, with bright bold messages and a contempory unusual flair. I am wearing a Herve Leger red dress, and a Chanel chain purse and Gucci  strappy shoes.
	Big Brothers Big Sisters Gala I had a fabulous time at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Gala. Lots of support from the stars for this worthy event. This is a charity for children who have no parents. They are mentored by a Big Brother or Big Sister. The success of this is amazing. One of the children on stage had been with her Big Sister since childhood, and now is entering college, which is incredible. Jennifer Grey, Ricki Lake, Derek Hough, Pam Dawber and Sarah Purcell were some of the stars co-chairing this event. I am wearing an Italian designer, Tardoni Couture. The hem line is interesting, it has bows with crystal in the middle of each bow. Yellow is such an upbeat color. Color is in this year! I am wearing Stuart Wiseman shoes. My jewelry is Kate Spade. It's always nice to appear at an event that is for such a worthy cause.
I had a wonderful New Year's and I just happened to be wearing my red Swarovsky crystal shoes. So after New Years and being kissed twice, I sat down and closed my eyes and clicked my heels together 3 times saying "there is no place like home" after each click. I opened my eyes and I was still at John's party of course! Alright, I don't have the red shoes...but I know someone who owns them. I guess my home is in L.A. now. I had a great night. For auld lang syne.	Well this was definitely an elegant party as always. John's New Year's Eve parties are becoming legendary.  John is the editor of the Beverly Hills Courier, only the most fabulous newspaper in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. He comes from Hollywood royalty. His father is without a doubt, my favorite cinematographer, because he is absolutely brilliant.  He has the academy award to prove it for the best cinematography for the film "Sunset Boulevard".   Who could forget Gloria Swanson coming down the long stairway, and saying "I'm ready for my closeup Mr DeMille" or the Rolls Royce shot of her entering the studio.  John really knows how to throw a elegant party.  Not only are the guests facinating people, he had a quartet to dance to, fabulous food, and even brings an opera singer from Sweden to entertain us. The man has class.	I arrived at the party with Larry Link, my dear friend, pictured at the left, who introduced me to some of the most eligible bachelors in Beverly Hills.  Pictured to the far right is Jessica Lopez whom I buy my lingerie from, ordered directly from France.  Pictured to my right is Blas Nunez, who is an up and coming actor and model.  We had a fabulous time.  We all rang in the new year together, picture below left.
From right to left, first is Reggie Sully, a fabulous contractor. Next is Stephanie Hibler, whom I've known since the 80's when I was married and living on Rockingham in Brentwood.  Stephanie cochaired the Thalians Ball with Ruta Lee and Debbie Reynolds for many years.  Next is the good looking Blas Nunez, photographing beautifully as usual.  Next is the most facinating person I had the pleasure of talking to, Hollywood mogul Jerry Zeitman.  He told me the most wonderful stories of how he discovered Shirley MacLain as an understudy of a lead in a play when the lead got sick.  Then of course Jerry represented Shirley's brother Warren Beatty as well. He told me the story of a young actor he represented, Ron Howard, who wanted to direct.  He got him his first directing job.  Jerry has produced more television series on the air that you could possible make a list of.  Next is Larry link, who is always there for me, even if its 4am in the morning doing a layout for my jewelry collection.  He is my very gifted los angeles based web master.  He is also a dear friend and when I'm sick he brings me chicken soup.  He also does most of the websites of the guests at the party.  And yes, we do fight over him. Next is Jessica Lopez who sells real estate on the westside and also owns a lingerie company that provides me with my lingerie.  Here I am pictured with some of the group I just told you about.		I decided to take a picture of the room.  You can see it is just packed with people and the string quartet that was so romantic.   HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PARTY!
What a fun party, I'm glad you could join me. I am wearing Azzaro of Paris, my favorite designer of all time. This is a satin tight wasted dress with a draw string waste, and hand covered buttons, with flared sleeves and bodes. The sewing design is hand stitched. The fabric had a lovely sheen, I wore my Christen Louboutin red Swarovski shoes, and a hand stitched red Miu Miu handbag. Happy 2012!  Project Angel Food Devine Design What could be better than attending a gala whose charity gives food to needy families around Christmas time. Among the people who attended were Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Basket, Jennifer Love Hewitt, George Kotsiopolus, Katy Linder, and Pauly Perrette. Hundreds of celebrities and families showed up for this lovely dinner and show at the Hilton Beverly Hills, California. I am wearing a Chanel suit, faux fur trimmed sleeves and collar, black alligator bag ,and black boots by Alice and Olivia.
I thought I would add  a little glamour to my site. This is the international ball room dancing event, a dinner and show. Dancers from all over the would danced. It was wonderful. I am wearing a St. John gown, satin silk schmooze with matching cape, an antique crystal purse, and diamond choker.

Do Blondes have more fun? Well.. sometimes. I went to a wonderful event. My friend September Serrano invited me to an auction, "Share." The subject of the auction.. MEN! It was wild, it was woolly, screaming bidders, the back and forth banter of women with a touch of bubbly in them.. all for charity. Needless to say we had a blast, girls night out.  Some of the most eligible and beautiful women in Beverly Hills. The bachelors, top of the list of Beverly Hills bachelors, doctors, lawyers, business entreprenours. Great looking men and ladies, with personalities to match. Here I am pictured with my best friend in the orange, columnist Marci Weiner, and my Sex in the City gal pal casting director Pam Shay, who worked with Erin Spelling for over a decade. I am wearing a silk purple faux fur coat by Musani gold couture, with a Marc Bower purple and black silk dress. My jewelry is Shales baroque pearls especially designed for me. Marci is wearing a coral necklace set, with Christian Dior accessories and dress, and Pam is wearing Gucci's little black dress with vantage costume jewelry. Marci is covering the event.

September and me discussing which bachelor I should choose. She wore black satin hot pants, gorgeous M.C. outfit. September planned this event. Not only is she a brilliant stockbroker, and makes lots of money for my bachelor, but she knows how to make money for charity. "Share" is lucky to have her. The party is a success.

My up and coming date, Rob Glass, a gifted builder of luxury homes. Lots of fun with a great sense of humor, and a gentleman. Apparently we are going to a French restaurant, hmm sounds romantic... we will see. It's all in the interest of charity.

Every once and a while I attend an event and I go "wow, this is magnificent." This was one of those events. I don't know how many of you have seen the film "The Red Violin." It's a story about a 300 year old violin, made by Stradivarius, named the "red mendelssohn violin." It  was auctioned off for 1.6 million. The owner is violinist Elizabeth Pitman. What a performance. Paula Kent, the creator of Rekin hair products, was gracious enough to lend her beautiful Japanese estate. The event was for a UCLA charity. The co-hosts of the event were Candy Spelling, Barbra Davis, and Andre Agassi. The setting was a Japanese house on a lake in the back yard of Paula's beautiful Bel Aire estate, with a stage in the back yard. Gorgeous. The house was formerly owned by Elvis Presley. I am wearing golden south sea pearls and a sailor suit designed by Mussani Couture. He is my new favorite Italian desinger. He fits me perfectly. I am pictured here with gal pal Marci Weiner, columnist extraordinaire.
Looking just a bit Old Hollywood, I walked the red carpet of the screening of "Green Hornet", the new Sony/Columbia Pictures release with Cameron Diaz. I had a blast. Edward Lozzie did the press. Edward is on the short list for White House press secretary.	I am wearing a Giorgio Armani pinstripe suit, a grey large brimmed felt hat, with a crystal band, by Phillip Tracy London, and drop Art Deco earrings. A really great crowd and a great movie. Well done and lots of fun.
Happy New Year to all my friends and fans!	I am wishing all of you a happy 2011 and the best year ever.
My friend and L.A. webmaster Larry link took me to a New Year's party. I thought I would share it with you.	It wasn't a red carpet event, but a lot of old Hollywood was there. The host of the party was John Seitz, the famous entrepreneur and part owner of the Beverly Hills Courier. His father was the cinematographer for "Sunset Boulevard". What a fabulous job John did with the party!
This is John's stepson and me enjoying the string quartet at the party.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! My Oscar party on the heels of my support hearing and Hawaii depos was a welcome relief. Judge McKenna made my holiday by removing all those expensivee $1,000.00 a day fines and sanctions! She made sure I had a good Christmas by giving support and an advance of property. That's right, all the bad stuff gone forever regarding that horrible jailing. Reversed! As soon as I got home, an interesting Oscar party took place with my friend Edward Lozzie, at Spagos. Barbra Lazeroff is the owner (ex Mrs. Wolfgang Puck); it was fun and here are the pictures to show it.
Girlfriend Katie Linder and I had some real fun with the Oscar. We took turns holding it. Who's Oscar? Interesting you should ask. Gig Young's for "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" What are we doing with it? Gig Young's daughter Jennifer just got it willed to her (his agent had it all these years)  and Edward gave a fabulous party to celebrate it. Just holding it was so dreamy. all actors dream of getting one. It's a bit heavy but i could hold it all night long. I of course gave my acceptance speech, all actors have one memorized, I call it the fantasy acceptance speech. Both Katie and I vowed we would get one.		This is Gig Young's daughter with her father's Oscar; so sweet.
Sometimes a feminine soft ruffle against a stark man's suit can soften it up and make it dressy. It can be very dramatic! A toast to you and your holiday season. Bottoms up.

Above: At the premiere of "Death of Evil", a sensual horror flick written, directed and produced by Damian Chapa of Amadeus Pictures. I'm wearing an Escada leather skirt and a French lace top with retro jewelry.

I attended a fundraiser for "A Smile for every Child", a wonderful charity for homeless children. They fix teeth and cleft palates for homeless children. You can find them on the Internet if you would like to donate. Sharon Stone spoke and was the guest chair. William Macy and Larry King also lended their faces to this charity. It was a wonderful fundraiser for a good cause. I am wearing a St. John knit dress with Swarovsky crystals and a Chanel purse.   While editing "Welcome To My Home" I realized just how much I strayed from my diet through this horrible divorce fraud scenario I'm going through. So I got busy on the Brenda Dickson "Welcome To My Home" diet and exercise regimen.... It works! I dropped the weight.

Pictured with Edward Lozzi, press agent to the stars, press in high profile legal cases, and press aide to a former president of the U.S. I made an appearance at Roberto Cavalli's store on Rodeo Drive, for the charity "Faces Forward". He had 20% of all purchases donated to the charity. I ran into my old friends Morgan Fairchild and Barbara Lazaroff. It was champagne fun; beautifully done. The store's motto was "Shop Til You Drop For Charity", I like it. I'm wearing Azzaro, white leopard print, and classic pearls.

This stunning gown is by my favorite Parisian designer, Azzaro.    I attended the daytime Emmy awards, it was great fun. I ran into all my friends. Sat next to Don Dimount (he is looking gorgeous), Katey Linder, Beth Maitland, and Jean Cooper. It was good to see them. Susan Lucci; just so many great friends and aquaintances. It was a wonderful show. I sat by Buzz Aldrin, our second man on the moon. Vennessa Williams hosted. I am wearing "Azzaro", my favorite Parisian designer. He passed away, but his cutting room is still located on the St. Honore, Paris. He dressed the sexiest European stars in his day, all the way up to the end of his long life. Sofia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, as well as much of high Parisian society. Ann Hathaway and other contemporary stars have found him and fell in love with his sexy classic lines.   It was 110 degrees. I waited 2 hours before going inside. It was so hot I thought I would pass out, and one photographer did. Inside, this picture was taken in a cool beautiful theatre.

Social-lights 90210, after party. Pictured here with my photographer Harry Langdon, who did my "Welcome To My Home" cover and posters. He is the best.	I appeared at the Social-Lights reality video after-party. To my left are Sabrina Parisi (blond) and Donna Spangler, the ladies in the video, at the party at Richard Benveniste's house in Beverly Hills. We formed a conga line. A great fun evening. I am wearing faux fur and Chanel. Photo by Sarah Hardt.
At the opening of "Jump", the late Patrick Swayze's last film. I talked to E! True Hollywood about the film at the Jewish Film Festival honoring the film. I'm wearing St. John and Chanel. My heart goes out to Patrick Swayze's family and his wife Lisa. He is a great actor, and will be missed by all of his fans. He worked up to the end of his life, every actors dream. I studied with Patrick at the famed "Beverly Hills Playhouse" in Milton Katsele's master class, (Academy Award winning director of "Butterflys are Free"). We called Pactrick "buddy". I often ran into him at Paramount and other studios. He remained the same humble sweet person with all his success. The first scene he did in class was a dance scene with his wife Lisa.We all will miss him greatly.		I appeared at Friendly House, a charity fashion show. David Meister put on a beautiful ramp show. Champagne was flowing. Melissa Rivers spoke. I'm wearing Giorgio Armani, hat by Peter Betty of London.

I appeared at an art opening with my friend Kate Linder. My friend Publicist Edward Lozzie.

I appeared at the red carpet premiere of "The House that Jack Built", a film with Joe Montana, July 14. For that put-together red carpet look, and sleek figure try my "Welcome To My Home" video, it tells all my beauty and fashion secrets.
