Ben Woolf touched so many hearts, even toddlers'.  Please give to/share the following link for his memorial fundraiser:  http://gofundme.com/benwoolf


I always grabbed Ben Woolf's hand when crossing the street (as evidenced at the end of this video).  I know he was a 34 year old man-- I couldn't help it-- I just wanted to protect him.  I'm crushed that I couldn't.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1mgjdB86FY&feature=youtu.be

I am utterly shattered.  It's inconceivable to me that just 3 weeks ago we were in Russia together;  locked a "padlock of love" and threw the key into the Moscow River, signifying it's permanence.  I will love you forever, Ben Woolf.  I only wish you were alive for me to tell you, and can't seem to believe that you're not.  You were the first one to wish me a happy Valentine's Day.

Lady Gaga apparently jacked the dress I was going to wear earlier today.  (And now she's not even wearing it.)  Meh, stylist/makeup artist Hosway Ali and I made it WERK! ;)

A very special morning at a very special event with very special friends!  #GoldMeetsGolden #ReachUpLA

February 16, 2015

The other day, a bunch of paparazzi jumped out of the bushes at me, scaring the BEJESUS out of me (hence the goofy grin).  Their photos later appeared in the following article, calling me "chic-as-shit."  So we're even! ;)  http://worldofwonder.net/gasp-guess-ulta-chic-celebrity-beauty/

It's the little things that fans do...

Far from home, missing my boo this Valentine's... So sometimes, we just have to find love wherever we are!

I just got a "you are incredibly beautiful" from a crack-head, as I walked into an audition to play a crack-head.  Ahhh, meta.

February 12, 2015

I may have made it now... I mean, last I checked, neither Kathy nor Sarah nor Jamie go by "Grossman."

Had a face for radio this am on the @FrankDeCaroShow.  Listen to it repeat at 2pm PST on @SIRIUSXM!

Just wait till you see my BFF, Marcus Folmar's hilarious, new web series, "Alleyway," (based on true events in our actual alley), featuring me and other "Booking Room" clients, shot just today.  So funny!

February 8, 2015

Bahahahaha!  It's my blog, and I can post what I want to-- it's too funny to deny you!  Tonight I slipped on a wet sidewalk and split my dress up the back.  Thank God for my yoga-booty!  It was on full-display on Spring Street:

This is the day every year I get weepy and weird because I have SO MANY AMAZING PEOPLE in my life who are SO INCREDIBLY GOOD to me!

40 years ago tomorrow, it was the coldest day of the year in Denver, CO... So cold, the Volkswagen bus almost didn't start!  But then, by some miracle; it did; we made it just in time to the hospital, where I was born, 4 lbs 9 oz.

On my 15th birthday, 25 years ago tomorrow, I got my SAG card...

Now, 25 years later, I'm finally making full-use of that card, playing an 18 year old orphan.  Oh, and it's forecasted to be 75 degrees tomorrow. :)

Some much-needed fluff amongst reports of Russian-backed separatists vs. Ukrainian forces:


February 3, 2015

Not gonna lie, I half-way thought I was going to Russia to be kidnapped & killed.  QUITE THE CONTRARY!  HUNDREDS of press core members & fans awaited us at the Russian International Horror Film Awards press conference IMMEDIATELY following our arrival.  SO GLAD Getty Images (and every other photographer ever) captured me in the clothes I'd slept in two nights straight, just after a 12 hour flight, 3 hour connector, and 6 hour layover.  Never felt so famous/dirty/exhausted/excited/overwhelmed.

Went to Moscow for the weekend.  How 'bout you?

Moyemu dorogomu super poklonniku, kotoryj sdelal Pepper kuklu i peredal cherez ohrannika.  Ja ljubljy ejo i vseh vas! Rebjata v lifte skazali mne chro kukla vygljadit kak Putin, no mne kazhetsa ona samoe prekrasnoye, chto ya kogda libo videla. Iznutri i snarushi.  Spasibo!

To my dear super-fan who made the most precious, handmade, Pepper-doll which she left with security for me:  I love her!  The folks in the elevator think she looks like Putin, but I think she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. (Beauty mark's a nice touch!)  Thank you!

TODAY I FLY TO MOSCOW, RUSSIA TO RECEIVE AN AWARD WITH MEEP.  Everything about that sentence is AWESOME!!!

January 28, 2015

I'm in & on the 504!  If only I could staaaaaaaay....

January 27, 2015

I used to drive (and hide) the Red Bull car to improv class.  Now I'm being flown to one of my favorite cities in the world (and PAID)... TO DO IMPROV!  YES, AND!!!

Where y'at, NOLA?  I'M BACK!  For 48 hours.  Opening the New Orleans Comedy and Arts Festival Wed. 1/28 at La Nuit Comedy Theater:  http://www.nola.com/arts/index.ssf/2015/01/national_comedians_taking_stag.html
In the meantime, WHO DAT WANTS TO GRAB AN ABITA WIT ME?

My Pepper wall expands... And by Pepper mantle too!  
Thanks, fans, for the fun weekend!

This amazing artist, Chris Oz Fulton just made me verklempt again!  Told me the story of Todd (pictured below), a microcephalic thirteen year-old who came to live with Chris' girlfriend's family when she was just a baby.  They were best friends and playmates.  (Sound familiar?)  He wasn't expected to live past 10, but at the age of 36, just recently passed away.  The family are huge AHS fans, and obviously hold a special place in their hearts for Pepper.  He gifted me this print, and I signed the original for the family.  RIP Todd.  Your bright light shall shine forever!






Oooooh la la!  We V.I.P.!  
(Better yet, we're on the badge & ticket!)

Just read a huge stack of fan-mail on a plane.  Not bragging-- just saying, I've been blubbering into my peanuts all morning.  How I could touch so many strangers such that they in turn, touch me-- is a beautiful thing.  Makes me think I'm doing something important, where I once feared it was simply self-serving.

January 20, 2015

Remember when we freaks all used to gather at a bar on Wednesdays and watch AHS together?!  WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN (for the finale!)  At the Faultline (4216 Melrose Ave; x-street: Vermont); 7pm TOMORROW NIGHT!  Come for the freaks, STAY FOR THE PUPPETS!



Who will live?! Who will die?! How will it all end TOMORROW NIGHT?!  http://www.eonline.com/news/616342/american-horror-story-freak-show-finale-forecast-who-s-alive-and-who-s-going-to-die

Not gonna lie, I love how they're still talking about my ep, even in recaps of this most recent one.  (And when I say, "talking about," I do mean he calls it "one of the best episodes in TELEVISION HISTORY."  How awesome is that?!?!):  http://www.houstonpress.com/arts/american-horror-story-freak-show-the-magic-of-neil-patrick-harris-6367180

Score!  The FIRST thing out of his mouth tonight on "Late Night with Seth Meyers, Seth brags to Jessica about how we went to college together-- which is awesome, since HE'S the one I usually brag about having gone to school with!  (Plus he calls me "beautiful," which is nice, since I always thought he was quite dashing himself!) ;)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XLP-9Ij_9s&feature=youtu.beSco'
