Day 2

O.K... here we go DAY 2.  (15th Sept) Today was huge, we had such an awesome day.

First we checked out all the hand and foot prints of celebrities outside the Chinese Theatre.  This is the most famous movie theatre in the world.  Huge movie premieres are held at the Chinese Theatre on a regular basis.

Here are the footprints/hand prints of the Harry Potter clan..

Again, I took loads and loads of photos, but I have just selected a couple to show you.. Here is John Travolta's prints.

Next we jumped on a bus and toured around the stars homes, up in the Beverly Hills.

This is Lady Gaga's house...

This is where Oprah lives...

..and this is Tom Cruise's house.. again I took soooo many photos of celebrities houses, but I just chose a couple to show you.

Our next stop was UNIVERSAL STUDIOS.  It's a huge theme park, with lots of rides and characters etc.  We went on a studio tour, which took us around the sets of movies and t.v. shows.

This is where Bruce Almighty was filmed... you know the part where he (Jim Carrey) tries to get his dog to pee outside his apartment.... I love that movie.

This is where they film Desperate Housewives.. not a fan of the show really.   The set was a closed set, because they were filming at the time..

I probably don't need to explain this movie set....

..and this one is where War of the worlds staring Tom Cruise was filmed.. they actually bought a real 747 plane and trashed it for the movie...

and last but not least... my total favourite and one of the highlights of my entire holiday (yes I know I'm a little sad)... is BACK TO THE FUTURE.   The famous clock tower.

After our awesome day seeing where celebrities live and loving Universal Studios, we headed back to our hotel..  We remembered our tour guide saying to us earlier that morning that the premiere of Taylor Lautner's movie Abduction was on tonight..  I'm not a huge fan of the guy myself, but I know a couple of my friends are big fans, so we thought wouldn't it be good to get a photo of the guy and take it back to OZ and show them... yeah like right, what chance do we have of seeing the guy with thousands and thousands of people lining the streets also trying to get a glimpse of the guy...

So here we are across the road from all the action and all the stars of the movie on the red carpet.

Here he is getting interviewed on the red carpet..

..the next thing you know he is walking across the road... heading right for US..  Craig grabbed Lucy's Hollywood hat off her head and asked Taylor to sign it.

He even posed for a photo.... YAY us !!!

 YES IT'S REAL !!!  horrible photo of me though - after a day trippin' round... couldn't take the cap off, cause then I would of had "hat hair"... not good... anyway a photo is a photo right?!

He was a lot smaller than what I thought.. not that tall and not as built either..

..he was such a nice guy, he said to James and Lucy... hey pal, hey sweetie.. how are you doing?..would you guys like a photo?

phew....That completes Day 2 in HOLLYWOOD.
