Lena Dunham wants to quit acting after the next GIRLS show. Crisis. Joan Rivers says Lena Dunhams body means “Stay fat-get diabetes.” Crisis. Waiting in the line at the LAX border patrol for 80 minutes while some Swiss people behind you rant about America. Crisis. Calling a car [more]

Hi guys! 60pages was fun and I learnt a lot. I saw a lot. I wrote a lot. Please keep reading 60pages, it is just fantastic! Very soon I will launch my own blog “Europetrash.com”. You’ll see…I hope you join me, follow me, read me… all that. I [more]

I am obsessed with Russia. I love Russia, for reasons that I don’t know. For reasons that I am not aware of. For reasons that are buried in my subconciousness. I remember driving into Moscow and my heart was racing. Fast. Like on amphetamine. The glitz, the churches, [more]

That’s the thing in LA. You go to some of the events or dinner parties and you never know if it is real. Or what is real. In LA, I often feel like Alice in Wonderland. Things are too big. Or too small. Too loud, too wonderful, too [more]

Costumes I saw tonight: Cats, lots of cats. Some with a mini skirt and tail. I have to admit cat costumes are fun. Mavie Hörbiger and I once had the best time ever at IKEA. We laughed like crazy, while trying on ears and tails. Almost getting thrown [more]

I was always dreaming of Candice Bergen’s mask. Made of fur, possibly rabbit fur, it was the most elegant mask that a woman wore at Truman Capote’s Black&White Ball,––the rabbit mask was special. Candice wasn’t a bunny––in the Hefner sense––she was a sleek, elegant rabbit. What’s so great about [more]

60pages. Next week, my 60pages time will come to an end and then there will be a follow up, but more about this next week.  First I was not sure, if I wanted to write a daily blog. (Georg told me though, that it would turn you into [more]

You could see it coming. This year, there would be a philosophical fight between the new Hollywood minimalism (The grey ghost is supposedly Leonardo di Caprio in his Halloween costume on Sunday) and new barock style, that was gone for a while. (The girl in the grey swimsuit [more]

Rare picture. Lou Reed (middle) John Cale (left) and Andy Warhol (right) all smiling, lightness. No harm. Lou Reed, who just died, was not famous for being “light”. You looked at Lou and saw all the heaviness, the disturbance, the danger and the grandezza of an underground rocker [more]

This morning, the Halloween stores were jam-packed with customers. I walked into one of the stores on Hollywood Boulevard. They are the best. You can buy and be anything you want. A dollar bill. A country. Or less “abstract”: Walter White or Jesus Christ. Behind the counter there [more]

I watched “Gravity” three days ago. Nothing “happens” and if you’ve seen it, you know what I mean.  George Clooney in space playing his country music under his astronaut suit. Sandra Bullock is basically breathing and not breathing. Still, you are watching. You enjoy watching nothing. The quiet, [more]

Back in the day, a celebrity tried to look sleek. Interesting, at least good, when they expected to be photographed. For instance, when Jacky O. walked down fifth avenue, her loafers looked stainless, her hair fresh like a flower bouquet, her smile like a wise woman. Her flared [more]

I was always interested in Joaquin Phoenix cleft lip. He is one of the actors, that play with his lips. They are a big part of his art. When Joaquin talks the cleft is moving up and down and you can’t help staring at it. The cleft makes [more]

Today, I was under the strong impression that LA is run by “Ladies who Lunch” (A term from the old american society world, describing rich, fashionable woman that lunch, because they have too much time and money, if that’s possible) The tables in Hollywood are filled with them. Around [more]

I was waiting for my team at this great bohemian place in Palm Springs, when I found this incredible book about Lee Miller. I was always attracted to Miss Miller, my photographer that day asked me about her, who she was and I said, she worked with “Ray [more]

Every time I come to Palm Springs, it is too hot and too quiet. (That’s exactly the reason why people come here, and me too.) Every time I try to figure out, who lives here? Who and what is the “real” palm springs persona, besides a retired American [more]

New book from Steve Jobs’ ex-girlfriend.”The bite in the apple” Really? The title! Like a bad fairytale. Of course the relationship was “complicated” (No facebook status, it just seemed like a rather chilly sex thing) But who thought that Apple is based on a sex thing, LSD, The [more]

I am shocked at how cheap Brecht has become. The price reduction on his book is insane, from 1280,00 Euro to 249,00. You could never do that with a Philip Lim sweater, just reduce it from 300 USD to 50 USD, unless it had a huge hole or [more]

It is a late night tonight, tomorrow, there will be a lot to talk about. Bonne Nuit.

We went to B.Bs, meaning Bertolt Brecht’s grave today, since it was just across the street. I have never been there before and I was surprised that he has just this little stone and a grave that looks like Prada designed it. Really simple, protestant, NOT flashy, whereas [more]

This morning I had a coffee with my friend Daggi, we went to this super coffee place called “The Barn” in Mitte. Basically everyone here seems to be american. It was pleasant and relaxed, a good sign. The city is on a good way and is leaving the [more]

Walk in Mitte, part 2. Iggy everywhere. On books, on cups and plates, on posters. It is like Iggy Pop is a saint to Berlin and he might replace the Berlin bear one day. I saw Iggy five times today on my way to Spirit Yoga, more often [more]

I went to dinner with a few of my favourite Berlin people. “Zweiraumwohnung” (Tworoomapartment) The amazing, redhead Inga Humpe, the mastermind Tommy Eckart (and of course band member Aram aka Malakoff Kowalski, the cool persian dude) Their new record is out and you should buy it and make [more]

Years ago, we always made jokes about Christopher Roth. Every time there was picture of Hugh Grant in a gossip rag like “Gala”, we would show it to Christopher and tell him, how he looked like Hugh Grant. Of course Christopher hated that, as Hugh Grant at that [more]

Berliner, I know it sounds strange, but you might want to see this. You will be bored in between, because Russell is too hysterical, too weird and might talk too long. BUT, as we know and remember a couple of weeks ago, the guy has something to say. [more]

This afternoon, I walked through my old Berlin -Mitte neighbourhood. I had forgotten some things about Berlin. 1) Max Raabe can never be a real superstar in Berlin. His concert announcements in Mitte are not very well placed, one is located in strange corners at Borsigstrasse. Raabe used [more]

Almost every day I drive by the Viper Room. It is located on Sunset Boulevard, next to a dirty liquor store. I always try to look at the black sign above the club, that says who is playing tonight. You hardly know any band, and any band wouldn’t [more]

Just met Julianne Moore this afternoon in a tiny, expensive hotel room. I couldn’t stop looking at her freckles. They are the most delightful and elegant freckles I’ve ever seen. They are everywhere. Hands, legs, feet, face. She has them all over the place and Julianne’s freckles are [more]

Just saw the new “Carrie” (Original by Brian de Palma from 1976 with Sissy Spacek.) Back then, the evil was the sex, the cheerleader bitches and their violent boyfriends. That was it, kind of an analog evil. The evil now in 2013 is in the cell phone and without [more]

Amber Heard. She will be in the new Robert Rodriguez movie. Amber. I can’t say much about her, besides that she is dating Johnny Depp (and female french models before) and reads a lot of Hunter S. Thompson books and that she has an amazing sense of style, she [more]

First picture: Kim Kardashian a couple of days ago in Paris, styled by Euro-Queen-Carine Roitfeld. Second picture: Kim Kardashian years ago. This is how we know Kardashian. She represents the Beverly Hills/Rodeo-Drive Face: smiling to show your über-white teeth, heavy eye make up, flesh coloured lips, über-straight hair [more]

We went to look at furniture tonight, store opening in Hollywood, organic furniture. Something like that. We did not pay so much attention to the sofas, because, over orange flavoured vodka drinks, we got into a heavy discussion about Instagram. What is it? Why is it strange to [more]

Why did it take so long to put Jay-Z on the cover of VANITY FAIR? Seriously, Jay Z has the same meaning as Frank Sinatra or Jackson Pollock. Listening to “Empire State of Mind” gives me more goosebumps than any pair of heels or Lanvin dresses. More than [more]

How do people distinguish themselves from other people in LA? It’s no longer possible through a Chanel bag, too many people showcase that. Kardashians, High School Girls, Yogies…who ever. Me too. BUT there is a better way these days. Coffee. Where to drink coffee, where to buy coffee. [more]

Ok. We are patient. At the moment Hillary is still relaxing and indulging in “just ordinary, everyday pleasures”  (Laughing at the family dog, watching stupid movies, taking long walks and going for a swim.) with her family. But soon, Hillary will be ready for 2016. (www.readyforhillary.com) I can’t [more]

Last night we went to see “RUSH”. Daniel Brühl as Niki Lauda is actually very entertaining with his Austria-English. He is really good in doing the “rat face” and performs well as the bitchy and talented driver from Vienna. The story: young Niki Lauda’s and young James Hunt’s [more]

This is one of my recipes to get into a good mood instantly: looking at pictures of Madonna and Sean Penn. It’s totally useless for other people, but for me there is “something”. Back then, as a couple they had this aura of a huge firecracker, that could [more]

Ok. Another Miley C. day. Now she is “On the cover of the Rolling Stone”. And how. Like a skinhead hip hop vixen, licking her expensive hollywood pool water from one  shoulder. I am conflicted. It seems weird to criticise Miley. She is a pop star and needs attention. [more]

Kevin Spacey. The Giant. I met Kevin Spacey this morning to talk about “House of Cards” and all I could think of was his bracelet. I got obsessed with it. It was blue, rubber gum and it said “Be strong” (in neon yellow). He shook his hand up [more]

Last night we went to party with HBO. Amazing party room, everything was done in peacock feather colour. Interior designer Billy Butchkavitz knows, that Hollywood does NOT appreciate any kind of understatement. HBO won, big time, Jeff Daniels ran around like a crazy person, as he got the [more]

Last night was one of these nice little LA surprise nights. You never know what happens. Suddenly at the party Rufus Wainwright sat down in the living room and sang like a nightingale. We did not see him the whole evening and felt a little stupid since we did [more]

Last night I saw Kiernan Shipka aka Sally Draper, daughter of Don and Betty Draper. She arrived in a silver Honda, not a fancy car. Maybe her dad drove her, I don’t know. She put out her little legs and feet and then there was Kiernan in heels [more]

The Emmys are coming. On Sunday. And these three guys are nominated. These three guys are the new men. They are not movie stars anymore, thank god. They are so real. Adam Driver from “Girls”, who does not get girls, is America. Mongolian, slightly russian looking, but total [more]

This is how Charlie looked this morning. (It’s not my picture, you are never allowed to take one during these press junkets.) He looked like an old child. Really, that’ s the first thing I thought. An extremely entertaining, middle-aged child. Charlie apologised, he was a little weak, [more]

Last night, my guru talked about great expectations and how dangerous they can be. After class, I thought of Charlie Sheen, who I am supposed to meet tomorrow. I had great expectations. I thought Charlie would be amazing on that april night in Detroit, on stage in 2011. [more]

Tonight I went to see my favourite yoga guru. Yes, that’s right, I know it sounds weird in the first place, especially if you are born catholic like me, there is no guru. (Jesus, that’s it) I remember though that a lot of people I knew in their [more]

Russell Brand isn’t the only one going back in time really far. If you are looking for new perspectives on Hollywood, Entertainment and the Nazis, here we go. You might want to look into this book.”The collaboration: Hollywood’s Pact With Hitler” by Ben Urward. It’s full of amazing [more]

I was conflicted this morning. I wanted to write about the fact that Lars von Trier’s new movie “Nymphomaniac” has the length of 5 hours (think “Ben Hur”, but next time.) I got distracted by Russell Brand. From today on we can consider him as one of the first [more]

Today we went to “Costco”, this gigantic supermarket with sizes and packages that are too big for any human being. The first time I went there my head was spinning, too many sausages, too much meat, too many red reindeer, teddies and pandas, bigger than a queen size [more]

I saw Russell Brand yesterday. He walked into a restaurant like he always does: peacock with tattoos, head a little to high, like an aged and snotty english royal. Russell’s face says “world, listen to me, I have things to tell you”, his legs: yoga strong. Russell always [more]

Carine Roitfeld et moi, earlier this year. Today starts her movie “Mademoiselle C”. You should check it out. Madame gives advice to all of us. There are only two schools of philosophy in fashion. One is Karl Lagerfeld and the other one is Mademoiselle C. We should learn [more]
