Move over Brangelina, TomKat, McPalin... there’s a new couple taking up Us Weekly real estate: HodaLee! The dynamic duo took L.A. by storm this weekend, inching out the celebrities in town for the Emmys. The ladies, decked out their flirtiest West Coast attire (KLG opted for a hot leopard number) started their grand L.A. tour by dining at hotspot The Ivy — where contemporaries like Teri Hatcher, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan have been known to schmooze and nibble.
As I tried to catch up with the TODAY staff, I was aggressively pushed and completely overwhelmed by the paparazzi calling out for the 4th hour hosts. Lalaland was all over them. Even HodaLee seemed surprised. As the ladies finished up lunch and shopped at Les Habitudes next door, they admitted they hardly receive the same amount of attention back in New York. The gals could get used to this.
But despite the flashing light bulbs and autograph pleas, Hoda claimed it was “a cool experience” to be worshipped by Robertson Blvd.’s finest celeb stalkers. Not that Hoda lost sight of her own Hollywood goal — to catch a glimpse of Alec Baldwin. (To quote Kathie Lee, “You came all the way to L.A. to see Alec?! You can just see him at 30 Rock! Please Hodawoman, just look for him in the building, OK?”)
Tune in to TODAY on Monday to catch more of Hoda & KLG’s adventure, including a trip to Mann’s Chinese theatre and a special report from the Emmys’ red carpet. Live in L.A.? Join the show!
Champagne at noon? These ladies know how to party.
Upon receiving random gifts and compliments from fellow patrons, Kathie Lee exclaimed “You never know who you’re going to meet at The Ivy!”
While secretly silencing their excitement, Hoda & KLG casually greet the paparazzi.
Sure, they look fabulous facing the cameras, but I saw a 10-year old boy refuse them a kiss. Kids here must be holding out for Giada.
