I was workin' the red carpet last Friday night at Kress nightclub on Hollywood Blvd. for L.A. Direct Magazine and Planet Funk's L.A. Fashion week kick off bash.
I didn't expect to see New York there, and I have to admit I kind of morphed into a groupie. Upon spotting her across from the red carpet, I also thought, oh geezus, I have to meet this diva bitch? WTF? Initially I liked New York and thought of her as a great entertainer, but with every Vh1 reality tv season her attitude seemed to inflate 10x more than it was the previous season. Whatever. I decided to find out whether or not she was a bitch.
Flattery ensued, 'New York, you look good, girl!' I said. She said, "oh thank you" while someone was shining a light in her face from a video camera, capturing footage. She later said, "everyone keeps telling me I look good tonight."
She then said that she's "fabulously single." Uh, does that mean a I Love New York 3 is in the works?
New York then made her way to the red carpet, posing for pictures. When she finished posing, a pair of reporters on my left wanted to begin interviewing her but she said, "No, I want to talk to her" looking at me then walking over to me. See the, 'You look good, girl!' compliment works. Even on men. Try it.
She also told me, "you're so cute!" I guess I was just excited to be in the presence of reality TV royalty, LMAO, which she may have found cute. Then I told New York, 'It's okay. I can just talk to you when they're done.' and she said, "Oh, you're so professional!"
New York then asked if her hair looked okay, then she launched into some Q&A. She explained the reason why she looks so thick on New York Goes to Hollywood.
"I just want to clear up the rumors! The reason why I look so big on New York Goes to Hollywood… I had my celebrity friends, they were just texting me, 'are you okay, girl?' and the reason why I look so big is because I quit smoking and I gained 40 pounds!"
Then I asked her when she quit and she said, "November 11th, it's almost a year now!" She's SO excited about quitting smoking, claiming her skin looks better, she can workout for longer periods of time and "everything is just better!"
Although she was rockin' heels, New York looks like she may be around 5′8. She was pretty tall and much more slender than she looks on TV. I think she lost most, if not all, of her 40 pound weight gain.
Before meeting New York, I also thought reality shows finished filming and editing entire seasons before airing the first episode of the same season. Maybe Vh1 does it differently? New York said,
New York Goes to Hollywood just wrapped last week. It was a great show about me moving out here and just checking out L.A. L.A.'s been treating me really good. I love California. Anyway, being out here is just a beautiful thing. God is really just blessing me right now and the sky's the limit, so I'm pursuing my acting career.
After multiple televised break-ups, New York's not really feeling men right now.
You know what, fuck love! I don't need a man right now. Right now it's all about me getting out here. On a serious note you guys, it's not really about me finding a love mate right now, it's about me focusing on what I want. This is what Tiffany wants. Right now I just wanna pursue acting.
Also, I just want to note that all the reporters on the red carpet said that New York was "so cool" and "really nice." We were all so impressed with her. She is nothing like the character we see on her shows. She is still hilarious in person, you know how she does. But she's shockingly sweet and kind.
I felt fooled once again, like a celebrity I thought was one way is completly different. That's typical for performers, not so typical for reality stars. She was really nice, so yeah, there ya go. Quitting smoking makes you fat and New York is really sweet!
