According to a journalist friend of mine, 200 trendy freaks - er, kabbalists - will be staying at a certain 5 star hotel in Tel Aviv over the Jewish New Year. Among them will be Esther, hubby Guy and little Lourdes. My friend, who has amazing connections, will be staying at the hotel and plans to snag an interview with Esther - even if it means having to babysit Lourdes. How does she do this? She can barely afford her rent, but she managed to finaigle a free room at a 5 star Tel Aviv hotel that overlooks the beach.

She said that if I'm really, really nice to her she might let me hang out at the hotel and raid the mini-bar in her room.

Meanwhile we're both busy churning out filler articles for our respective publications' New Year advertising supplements. Articles, I might add, which hardly anyone will read. Which is my way of explaining why blogging will probably be a little light over the next few days.
