ALL STAR LUNCHEON

Today's luncheon at Trattoria Dell'Arte in New York with Fred Bronson was outright absurd... Ayhan, Dennis and meese joined "American Idol" hitmakers and friends Kimberley Locke and Diana DeGarmo, along with season eight contestant/comedian Nick Norman and timeless superstar Neil Sedaka. So good, so fun, it was downright stupid.

Karine Hannah: "Gone" Music Video Shoot

Following the release of “Karine” in January and a sensational live gig at New York’s Metropolitan Room in September, Karine Hannah and producer/songwriter Ayhan Sahin decided that next in line is a music video for the uptempo, rock-pop gem “Gone,” a collaboration with Ayhan’s songwriting partner Dennis DelGaudio.

Sunday brought cool temps but a splash of sunshine over New York, so with video crew Caner Ozgul and Kaitlyn Barlow—and me along for the ride for hair and make-up tips—we all arrived in Stuyvesant Town and neighboring Cooper Village for the shoot.

The video will include live performance clips meshed with Karine and Dennis—her spurned love interest (and guitarist)—lamenting by the Stuyvesant fountain, accompanying scenes of the two along the East River and under FDR Drive. In all, we spent more than six hours filming. A grand, creative excursion for all… except for Karine’s poor feet. Here's scene one/outfit one:
