AVETT BROTHERS I and LOVE and YOU

Back in May, I was invited to see THE AVETT BROTHERS perform in LA and I was blown-away.

Tonight they are on Letterman, launching their new song, from their new CD 'I And Love And You.'

These guys are really good.
Q: Country? Folk? Pop? Rock?

A: YES!

Good guys!

JUST IN TIME FOR FALL

Wow-now THIS looks like a great show!

Just thinking about WHITNEY CUMMINGS' yoga routine makes me laugh my ass off.
And how sensational is sexy singer JESSE PAYO? Well, she's simpy great!
ERIC BUSS is one of the most original speciaty acts ever and DAN LEVY is something.

And House of H2o is on record cheering pretty much everything JUSTIN KREDIBLE does. (Off the record? Well, we're starting to feel weird always singing the praises of the comic magician, so many light years ahead of the pack.)*

*We've been on the JKRED team since Jump Street. No, not the TV show with Johnny Depp, but from the "get jump," ya know?

JAMIE CULLUM IS 220 YEARS YOUNGER THAN GUINNESS

Jamie Cullum, 30, is debuting great new songs from his rock-heavy new CD 'The Pursuit,' at the 250'th birthday of my hero, ARTHUR GUINNESS, on September 24th.

The Guinness celebration is gonna be huge, with the beer-and music-flowing throughout Dublin this Thursday.

I started my party a few days early upon receiving my personal copy of 'The Pursuit.'

Thanks, Jamie, for making the music, and thanks, Arthur, for making the brew.

SIMON BAKER TO WIN BEST ACTOR EMMY

SIMON BAKER should win the BEST ACTOR Emmy next Monday.

It doesn't take a MENTALIST to call that one, mate.

H2O DROOL

MISS AMERICA 2009 KATIE STAM posing Thursday with the hotdog named after her at PLANET HOLLYWOOD.

WATCHING RAFA

I just arrived home in time to watch Rafael Nadal and Fernando Gonzalez in the US OPEN Quarterfinals.

And the weird part? I'm nervous.

Seriously.

I've been following Rafael Nadal ever since he turned pro, and recently had the chance to watch my boy play.

He's the best.

Fighting for every single point is a beautiful thing.

Fight. Fight. Fight.

But for whatever weird reason, ever since Rafa returned from his injury, I find myself kinda scared wacthing him play.
It's like when you have money on the outcome of the event, only more so.

I am confidant enough to predict that Rafael will win tonight, yet nervous enough that it's hard to sit still.

Weird.

THUNE IN

I have known JAY LENO since the early 90's.

He is known as 'the hardest working man in show business,' but, he's also 'the nicest guy on television.'

Jay Leno is Everyman.

The Jay Leno Show signed seven corespondents and, one of the real standouts is comic/musician NICK THUNE. From television and internet comedy to films like Knocked-Up and Extract, NICK THUNE is wonderful and weird, hip and strange, and, a most unique addition to Prime Time Leno.

Thune In.

SUPER CHEF KERRY SIMON SERVES-UP BEAUTIFUL SOLE at PALMS PLACE

KERRY SIMON- House of H2o's favorite chef, attracts the beautiful people over at his Simons Palms Place.

The Sunday Brunch at Simon's is a beautiful thing

The Sexiest Model in the World- JOANNA KRUPA and the Nicest Dancer Ever, DEREK HOUGH

Hate to choose a winner before we've had a chance to see the contestants dance, but I am-um- familiar with JOANNA KRUPA.

Now I know, I know, DEREK HOUGH is no Tom Delay, and if only DONNY OSMOND'S children vote, Marie's stupid brother could have a real shot, but, COME ON! I'm pulling for JOANNA KRUPA

IF IT'S SUNDAY, IT'S SIMONS

MRAZ IS 71 WEEKS AND COUNTING...BUT WHO'S COUNTING?

HOUSE OF H20 saw it coming. (Predicted here first on April 10th and again July 10th).

We've been supporting JASON MRAZ since, well, since his early coffee house days (and something tells me he may well return to the San Diego coffee house scene as he develops new music).

"I'm Yours," the happy Jason Mraz love song, has been on the Billboard Hot 1OO for a record-breaking 71 weeks.

So how about another prediction? ---Okay>

With the fall release of 'Beautiful Mess,' the concert DVD, the song "I'm Yours" will likely be on the Hot 100 for a total of 100 weeks!

Now THAT'S hot!
