Rock with me.

Ok, so the last story wasn't really fair because it wasn't about me, so here you go.

If you know anything about Hollywood in the previous years you know that club " Les Duex" was the spot to be on any given night, the door was ofter referred to as "being tighter than Beyonce's weave" I was super lucky when I had officially moved to LA the head DJ at the club was a good friend and had gotten me and Audra into the club on it's opening night.  That night I met one of the owners whom invited us to his table after some brief conversation and some background story as to who I was and what I was set to accomplish. He offered me a job as his assistant and asked me to start work at the club the following morning. I was ECSTATIC I had just landed a job at the coolest most exclusive club in Hollywood within my first night of moving to LA.  After working for one of the owners all of the bouncers, promoters and regulars became my friends, I never had a problem getting in or getting my friends in, I was living the life it was a running joke for awhile that " I was mayor of Les Duex" in this point in time is were I met some of the most powerful and influential people in LA whom became my connect to almost anything I wanted to do.

On the particular night in question the club was especially star studded, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan and Kim Kardashian were all laughing and taking shots at a corner table while Britney Spears and the Olsen twins chain smoked cigarettes at another.  Kid Rock, Stevo, Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro where at the bar joking and Paula Abdul, Ashton Kutcher and Leo DiCaprio had taken over the upstair VIP. I walked in around 12:30am with Audra and went to the bar to have some shots with the bartender whom had become a good friend.  After being there for about 30mins one of the promoters came up to me and said someone wanted to meet me, not to sound full of myself or anything but this happened often I kind of rolled my eyes and said "ok give me a min" the promoter took me by the arm and said " no, you're going to want to meet this one" He walked me over to the table and introduced me, my mouth dropped and I was speechless, he was and still is one of my favorite comedians.  He stood up and introduced himself like I didn't immediately know who he was, he was there with Sugar Ray, front man Mark Mcgraph oddly enough because the pair seemed to be completely opposite.

Audra and I sat down and Mark immediately started to talk to her so that left me and the funny man to start a conversation. He asked me where I was from, what I was here to do, what I did and how old I was, just general questions, then he noticed that Audra and I had matching tattoos on the inside of our left arms. He said "is that the Red Hot Chili Pepper symbol" and in fact it was, something not a lot of people catch onto I explained that they were mine and Audras FAVORITE band and that the tattoos were a symbol of our friendship, he said "thats weird because Im actually out here directing one of their videos" I almost burst into tear, how could I be meeting one of my favorite comedians while he was in LA shooting a video for my FAVORITE band I was star struck.  As the night grew to an end he told me he was going to head out to his hotel, he wanted me to come but he was going through quit a public separation and didn't want anything on the news he quietly took my number and told me he'd call me later. I thanked him for the drinks and said I looked forward to hearing from him.  Audra had also a few months before met Chase Crawford, I think I can add his real name due to the fact I have nothing negative to say about him, Chase, me, Audra and Toby Hemingway (Taylor Swifts new boo) had all became close friends and spent countless nights at his small apt above the Whiskey a Go Go drinking beers and watching old lifetime movies, this was of course before his Gossip Girl fame.  He was also a regular at Les Duex and was in attendance that night so we all decided to move the party to his house as we did most nights.

Within an hour of being at Chase's I got a phone call from a private number, I answered and it was him he said he wanted me to meet him at the Beverly Hills Hotel - I still remember the exact bungalow number, Bungalow 9 I told him I was bringing Audra along, he said that was fine and we were off.  I had never been in a Bungalow at the Beverly Hills hotel at that time, this is one of the most exclusive expensive hotels in Los Angeles, when I walked in it looked like a villa that should be placed somewhere exotic, it had 2 bedrooms a full kitchen a living room and 3 bathrooms, it was decorated sort of how a cool grandma would have had her place done in the 90's and it smelled like fresh flowers.  There was a bottle of champagne and 3 glasses on the table with chocolate and strawberries, he offered us each a glass and we all made small talk, he was actually intrigued by both Audra and I and said we had awesome personalities and senses of humor.  We were flattered that someone of this magnitude had compliments for us.

After we finished our drinks he asked me to accompany him into his room, I walked in and we sat on the bed for a min.  and started talking, then we started kissing and being two grown adults one thing went to another and banda bing bada boom the deed was done.  Let me tell you he was a freak he wanted me to call him "daddy" and tell him "I belonged to him" he also thought of some very umm.. eccentric positions which was sort of weird due to the fact we hardly knew each other.  After we were done we both put on some comfy clothes, he supplied me with a pair of mens underwear and a t-shirt and we dosed off in mid  conversation. When I woke up around 10am he had left, but there was a note beside the bed that said "Call this number, it's my assistant I will have you added to the list so you and Audra can come to the Red Hot Chili Peppers shoot tomorrow at 3pm, order yourself whatever you'd like just don't call China" I still have that note to this day and is one of my most prized possessions.  Audra and I were jumping up and down for joy on the large down feather hotel bed, we could hardly believe what had happened. We ordered a huge breakfast with eggs, pancakes waffles and juices, Audra and I had just stared working a job at Ed Hardy, this is when it was cool, and had to be at work in a few hours, we ate our food, showered and headed off to work.  I called his assistant a few hours later and we thought that was that.

I remember I was helping a customer in the fitting room when my manager ran back to me saying "Uh Jenna, theres uhh, someone here to see you" I said "ok well as soon as Im done here I'll be right up" he started to stutter again and said " I don't want to keep this person waiting I'll finish up here you go tend to your guest" this struck me as odd because I figured it was a friend coming to say hello or one of my clients that shopped with me. I said ok and walked to the front, and there he was standing with a Starbucks coffee for me, waiting for a hug I was in shock.  I must have given him a weird look because he said "Oh I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop and say hello and bring you a coffee" I had only briefly mentioned where I worked and the fact that I loved Chai tea lattes.  He then announced to my boss and all the fans that had by this time surrounded him that I had failed to eat my pancakes I ordered for breakfast.

The next day Audra and I showed up for the Chili Peppers video shoot and had the time of our lives, we met the whole band and even got to be in the video in the months to follow Mr. Funny came to visit me at work a few times and accompanied me to some parties, we had dinners and went to the movies went shopping and visited the beach together.  Then he had to go film a movie out of the country and somewhere along the line worked out his personal life with his wife and we lost touch. I ran into him about a month or so ago and it was a warm and friendly reunion and we exchanged emails, he's a wonderful person and will email me to make sure everything is going ok at least every 3 months.

Have you guess who Mr. Funny man is?

This story just goes to show that sometimes taking a risk with someone can be worth it, in the end it all ended well, we kept our private life private and only a few friends know about our relationship.  He will always hold a place in my heart and we will always remain friends, this is one of the few times I became the exception and not the rule, the rule is the bend you over and thats it but we had a connection and we bonded he was an amazing inspiration and role model and I wouldn't change how things went for anything in the world.
