What with all of the excitement yesterday, we figured we'd hang around in Hollywood for another day - and see which celebs would be turning up for the big American Idol result show.
After booking another night at our hostel, (which involved moving rooms), we thought we'd go out shopping and get some food to cook for our tea tonight. So we took a walk down onto Sunset Boulevard to a supermarket called Ralphs.
We came back with our shopping and Nikki made us beans-on-toast for our lunch, while I sat watching the Liverpool vs AC Milan Champions League Final. We then went out onto Hollywood Boulevard.
Yesterday, two Japanese tourists had stopped us and given us some free Access Hollywood passes, as they were going home, (these get you into some attractions - such as the Kodak Theatre, Mann's Chinese Theatre or The Hollywood Museum), so today we went to the Hollywood Museum. This place was very cool! They had all sorts of great movie things - even the entire 'Jail' set from The Silence of the Lambs!!
Hollywood was packed today. There were loads of workmen buzzing around, setting up for the American Idol result show and even more fans out celeb spotting. We stood about for a while, to see if we could lay our hands on any more tickets to the show - but couldn't (d'oh!) - we couldn't afford the $1500 to buy some! We did see a few more famous faces though. Nikki seen Simon Cowell (again) and as we were leaving, we said hello to Sir Trevor MacDonald. Later on the news we heard that 'The Hoff' was about - so it was a shame we didn't see him.
We came home and Nikki cooked us chilli for tea, which we sat eating whilst watching American Idol with some of the others from the hostel.
We're not sure what we're doing tomorrow. We might go to Santa Monica and spend a few days there, we don't have anything booked as yet so who knows?
Hollywood's been a blast... and cut!
