Del Mar

The Del Mar Racetrack went back to its roots this year for its inaugural Bing Crosby Season presentation, an homage to the track’s founder. The event, which brought some serious old Hollywood glamour to San Diego, was such a success that the track will reprise the festivities in 2015 for five weeks, from October 29 to November 29. Here’s how to live like a high roller when betting on winners like California Chrome, who raced in this year’s closing weekend race on November 29th. May the odds ever be in your favor.

Girls weekend getaway

Between chic events like the Napa Film Festival and Flavor! Napa, it’s clear that Napa Valley has become a cultural destination that celebrates the best in food, wine, and film. While those affairs are phenomenal in their own rights, we couldn’t help but want to get back to the basics, and enjoy Napa for what it’s most famous for: wine, of course. So gather a small group of girlfriends like Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz did this spring and enjoy the ultimate girls weekend getaway in wine country.

Miss Golden Globe

Greer Grammer—the daughter of Kelsey Grammer and Barrie Buckner—was named Miss Golden Globe 2015 at a cocktail party held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

Lupus LA

Fashionistas came out for a cause to attend the 12th Annual Lupus LA Hollywood Bag Ladies luncheon last week. The event, hosted by Paula Abdul, kicked off with a silent auction of nearly 300 designer bags from the likes of Stella McCartney and Chanel, all of which were donated by designers and celebrities.

Cat Cora

Cat Cora has been battling worldwide hunger since 2004, when she founded the philanthropic organization Chefs for Humanity. The star of popular food-centric television shows like Iron Chef and Around the World in 80 Plates has put her money (and time) where her mouth is, getting down in the trenches on relief missions in Haiti, New Orleans, and Thailand.

Nick Young

Nick Young has a lot on his plate. When the Los Angeles Lakers player isn’t hanging at home with pop star girlfriend Iggy Azalea or overseeing his two-year-old son Nick Young Jr.’s burgeoning modeling career, he’s giving back.
