Director DAVID CRABTREE on LATE NIGHTS with LEXI















Hey World,

Life has been constantly on-the-go, never stopping! This week was filled with pre-production meetings for the new, TV version of my radio show! LATE NIGHTS with LEXI will now become a "Howard Stern - Style" radio TV show.

In addition, I was cast in the school play! I am so excited to be a part of the cast of Stages of AIDS. I was craving a dark role...and it's here!

Sunday, October 10, 2010, I have a really cool guest coming in the studio! I'm so excited to have Director David Crabtree!

David directed the TV show, Psych and the brilliant film, Broken Dreams. This piece deals with serious univesral issues such as fear, loniless, and uncertainty. Broken Dreams exposes the human condition. It resonates with me because I could relate to all of the major emotions that were beautifully shared by the talented cast. I like the music and it's easy to fall in love with the lead character, Johnny. Eddie Navarro plays Johnny. He is honest and likeable. I love Kelsey Ford's work in the film. She seems to bring herself to the role as her upbeat spirit lights up the screen. Nicole Gerth had an astounding performance. Nicole won the 'Best Actress in a Supporting Role' award at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival. Nicole will also be making a guest appearance on the show tomorrow night!

Broken Dreams will screen at The Other Venice Film Festival on Saturday, October 16th at 1:30 PM.

PLAYBOY BUNNY Donna Spangler on LATE NIGHTS with LEXI



























Hey World,

Life has been super busy and fun lately. I'm so excited to have my special guest, Donna Spangler in the studio this Sunday night! Donna is definitely a role model. She is extremely motivated, hardworking, and successful.


Donna is also known for her appearances in Playboy magazine. She has also done several posters, calendars, catalogues and commercials. Donna has made TV & movie appearances in "Forces of Evil", "Guns", "Matilda" "Dinosaur valley girls", "In Living Color", "Blossom", and "Dinosaur Valley Girls" to name a few. Donna is also staring in "SPACE GIRLS IN Beverly Hills", which she wrote and produced. It is a SCI-FI romantic comedy about 3 space girls from the all girls planet Vanisia who land in the back of a wealthy Beverly Hills Playboys mansion.

onna Spangler was born in Southern California and grew up in Hollywood. She attended U.C.L.A. There, she was discovered by a photographer and approached to do a magazine cover. This started her modeling career. Shortly there after she got into doing commercials, TV shows, and movies. The former pin-up model did not feel that her acting career was moving towards the exciting roles that she craved, and realizing that she wanted control over her career destiny, she decided to start creating her own shows.
She has written "The Princess Formula: How To Get A Rich Man".

Here are some fun pics of Donna and me at the KALYX red carpet event in Beverly Hills last week.

Love,
Lexi

DANE COOK: on LATE NIGHTS with LEXI


















Hey World,

This has been another crazy/busy week. It began with a bang when my best friend, Patrick, surprised me by coming in from San Diego. He helped me decorate my new place which now looks and feels amazing =] yay Then we celebrated by grillin & chillin, duh ;)

Last night I attended the KALYX red carpet event in Beverly Hills. It was very cute!

Anyway, listen to LATE NIGHTS with LEXI on KLMU. This Sunday Night, the greatest comic of our time, DANE COOK will be my special guest! I am so excited to have this comic genius on the show! Dane's awesome energy is contagious. The devilish sparkle in his eyes never dims as he utilizes his entire body, range of motion and hilarious facial expressions. His stage presence, charisma, and out-of-control delivery make him an effective rhetorician, as my professor Kyra Pearson would say. =] Besides, Cook is definitely skilled in social media.

I am so excited to hear, share with all of Loyola Marymount and the world the buzz about Dane's new "I Did My Best" Greatest Hits Album!!

He's so young and yet already released enough meaningful work that allows for this intriguing new album! Dane is also going on tour and you can purchase tickets here :P

Love,
Lexi



Dane: Why did you stop at a red light and let me hit you doing 80!! OH GOD! WHY! WHY DID YOU STOP AT A LEGAL RED LIGHT AND LET ME HIT YOU DOING 80!?!??!!

Courtney Cook Imagery



Hey World,

This week has been pretty crazy! Wow...I had a blast at the Beverly Hills Playhouse last night with Andrew Earl. Tomorrow is another Sony Pictures day...so excited to be back on my favorite lot! After I finish up my project there, I'm heading to my private session with Ron Marasco, my new acting coach. He's so funny. Today I met with Ron and I told him about my experiences at Stella Adler and The Beverly Hills Playhouse. He was like, "Or you could just read Ron Marasco's books..." Ron has appeared on Entourage, Medium The West Wing The X-Files, Family Law, Judging Amy, Murphy Brown, Good-Vs-Evil, Charmed, Angel, Martial Law, Enterprise, Nip/Tuck, Lost, Bones, and in the movie The 40-year old Virgin. I'm lucky to be studying with him.

Anyway, you have to check out my friend, Courtney Cook's work because it's dope!!

Auditions Are the Story of My Life



Hey World,

School is going well. I'm taking all 400 level classes: Rhetorical Methods, Qualitative Research Methods, Debate, Relationships & Communication, & The Creative Process. I love Loyola Marymount! My best friend at school is my girl, J. She is amazing. This weekend we are actually going to some crazy oxygen bar party...

In addition, I am making plans to begin my radio show: "LATE NIGHTS WITH LEXI" ! I am so excited for my show! It's focused on entertainment, as well as sex, love and relationships!

Besides school, auditions are the story of my life! Today I have an audition for a new pilot for HBO. It feels good to be knocking out audition after audition!

What else? I just moved to Beverly Hills and I love my new gated community. It's super safe, located in a totally private, secret spot, & the actual property makes me really happy. The grounds are gorgeous. I spent nine months looking all over West Hollywood, the hills, Manhattan Beach, pretty much all the areas where I was interested in living and when I discovered this spot, I just knew this was it. It's funny because I had the same feeling when I stumbled upon my condo on Lake Shore Drive, in Chicago. It's the best feeling in the world when you find a place that feels right. It feels like home now. J helped me organize after my move!! We rocked out to stereo love and laughed a lot.

Sometimes it can be a challenge to balance school and acting because they both require much attention, but it all works out! School is my top priority

I heart LMU.


Love,
Lexi
