With Roy Firestone as emcee, the evening featured 23-year-old Hagit Yaso (right), of Ethiopian descent and a resident of Sderot, who, in 2011, won the Israeli version of American Idol singing Killing Me Softly With His Song. At the concert, she performed the song with its composer, resident and Hall of Fame songwriter Charles Fox (left). Benefit attendees were able to purchase Israel bonds to support the nation’s economy and which can be donated to JNF to support southern Israel’s defense.

Hoffman’s Directorial Debut Quartet Sings; 1600 Penn Sinks Quartet is 75-year-old Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut and should serve as a lesson to everyone in that age group who feels it’s too late to explore new ventures. Obviously, it isn’t.

Hoffman, who has given us years of onscreen enjoyment (The Fockers not withstanding), has directed a movie about former opera divas, which is so quaint, so enjoyable and full of empathy, it gives notice that the cinematic year of 2013 has begun on a positive note.

The film stars a group of notable English actors including Tom Courtenay, Billy Connelly, Pauline Collins, Michael Gambon, plus the indomitable Maggie Smith, as a group of aging performers living in a retirement home catering to their common interests.

Evoking compassion, in the capable hands of Hoffman, the actors, especially Collins who, although showing signs of dementia, try to rally the group to overcome their collective narcissism, fears and uncertainties as they prepare to perform an aria for a select group of wealthy patrons.

Hopefully, their financial contributions will allow the re-

Jerry Cutler on FILM & TV tirement home to stay open and allow future divas to live out their swan songs.

Brilliantly written by Ronald Harwood (The Pianist), the dialogue is delivered with sophistication, impeccable timing and panache by these outstanding stars from the motherland.

4 bagels out of 4 ***** Meanwhile, 1600 Penn had its premiere last week on NBC-TV, the same network that gave us last year’s terribly unfunny comedy subterfuge Animal Practice.

If it was the same executive who gave both “comedies” the green light, then I suggest we keep him or her on our radar screen because he or she will soon be making news as a politician. Only a person in that line of work could get away with promising success to two obviously bad and ill-conceived programs and get away with it.

Whittier Drive from Lomitas Avenue to Wilshire Boulevard will experience a street closure that will provide for the inspection and congregation of arriving participant vehicles.

Although closed to through traffic – residents living between Wilshire and Elevado will be allowed vehicular access to their residences in a lane provided along the east curb.

BHPD personnel will be present at the location to assist

and control the traffic flow.

No exemptions are allowed in this area.

Samira Maknoon of The Beverly Hilton told The Courier that hotel staff is currently hard at work preparing the International Ballroom for the gala.

Maknoon said the ballroom will hold 1,300 people.

Mankoon added that Beverly Hilton Executive Chef Suki will use a full staff of 50 chefs, 110 culinary staffers, 50 bartenders and 250 servers to treat the guests.

Maknoon said more than 10,000 Royal Doulton silverware, plate settings and champagne glasses will be used and about 9,000 glasses of Moet are expected to be poured.

“We are thrilled to host the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton,” Robert Schwab, Director of Catering at The Beverly Hilton told The Courier. “This will be a monumental year and we are excited for everyone to see our International Ballroom for the show.”

OSCARS

(continued from page 1)

Oscar show host Seth MacFarlane and actress Emma Stone announced the nominations just after 5:30 a.m. inside the AMPAS’s Beverly Hills theatre. It was the first time since 1972 — when Charlton Heston hosted — that a show host took part in the announcements.

Lincoln also garnered a best acting nod for two-time Oscar winner Daniel DayLewis as Lincoln and supporting acting nominations for Sally Field as his wife and Tommy Lee Jones as a radical antislavery legislator. In addition, the film received nominations for cinematography, costume design, film editing, original score, production design, sound mixing and adapted screenplay.

It’s the eighth Spielberg film up for best picture (Schindler’s List won in 1994) and the director’s eighth best director nomination. A win would be his third.

The fantasy adventure Life Of Pi was nominated for best picture, best director, original song — Pi’s Lullaby — adapted screenplay, cinematography, film editing, original score, production design, sound editing and mixing and visual effects.

Les Miserables, a film adaptation of the long-running musical set in 19th-century France, got acting nods for lead Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean and Anne Hathaway in her supporting role as Fantine, as well as nominations for costume design, makeup, original song — Suddenly — production design and sound mixing.

HOW DO Y O U F E E L ?

Providence Tarzana, CHLA Partner

H E A LT H & W E L L N E S S

To Enhance Pediatric Care In The Valley Providence Tarzana Medical Center and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) began the new year with a new partnership that will enhance the level of pediatric care in the San Fernando Valley and surrounding communities.

An agreement took effect at the beginning of the year formalizing an affiliation designed to broaden the medical services provided by the pediatric unit and the Mozilo Family Foundation Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Providence Tarzana. The units will be operated jointly by the two hospitals, with CHLA providing further pediatric clinical expertise to Providence Tarzana.

Under the agreement, a nurse manager from CHLA will jointly oversee the pediatrics partnership at Providence Tarzana, working with the hospital administration, physician and nursing leadership.

The relationship will give Providence access to CHLA’s pediatric specialty expertise and the hospital’s best practices, policies and protocols.

Under the plan, CHLA will also provide training and education to the Providence Tarzana staff, complementary to existing educational programs.

By establishing common standards for pediatric clinical care that continually improve quality and enhance expert-toexpert collaboration and consultation, best care practices will be ensured for each patient.

The new partnership is part of the hospital’s mission to make it easier for the greater L.A. community to access its pediatric specialty care, working with institutions such as Providence Tarzana that share similar values.

ASTROLOGY

by Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 11).

Your emotional intelligence goes up a few points the next six weeks as you find new ways of relating and bonding with loved ones.

What you observe in February helps build an acute social awareness you’ll later utilize in an important breakthrough. New professional goals will be met in August. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will get many chances to make a first move, but this new moon in your sign is one of the most powerful start dates of the year. Seize the opportunity. Claim your destiny.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Most people don’t listen, but you do and find it easy to make a favorable impression. Wow someone with insightful remarks–made possible by focused attention and careful listening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20).

Whatever you’ve been thinking about, go ahead–do it! You don’t have to have all of the information

and resources to get started. A singular intention is enough.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You can’t be in two places at once. If you leave doors open, you’ll live in an insecure place where unwanted elements drift in and out. You have to close some doors to fully go through others.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Hard work is usually uncomfortable –sometimes hurts. You feel better when it’s done. Later, be proud of the leaps of experience and maturity gained by knuckling down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be mingling, trying to figure out who will be a help in the weeks to come. Think of social environments as labs to learn more about yourself. Be aware of how you feel around certain people.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Whether you’re making a commercial purchase or an energetic investment in another person, feelings of attraction can make you overlook red flags. Being excited isn’t a good reason to rush forward.

Jerrie Heslov

Grant Tinker

Be more judicious.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you can give your understanding, encouragement and acceptance to another person, you can certainly give it to yourself. It doesn’t matter which comes first, but definitely do both.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Boundaries in many forms serve a real purpose these days. The fences you build will establish territorial lines and assign responsibility.

They offer protection and a greater sense of control.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Under practical skies, it’s easy to get caught up in work, but far less likely in a daydream. Give yourself credit for any fantasizing you can manage as it improves your mood.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As it is with a chili pepper, it’s the size and not the color that indicates its spiciness. The smaller the pepper the hotter it is. Similarly, today a lot of excitement will spring from a small package.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Instead of searching far and wide for your next adventure, search close and narrow. The mystery you can solve inside yourself will make all things possible.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS—Celebrating are Amanda Peet, Naomi Judd, Grant Tinker and Rod Taylor (Jan. 11); Kirstie Alley, Anthony Adams, Kaye Siegel and Howard Stern (Jan. 12); Kevin Anderson, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Roberta Magid, Patrick Dempsey, Orlando Bloom, Richard Moll, and Rip Taylor (Jan. 13); Jason Bateman, Faye Dunaway, Jerrie Heslov, Jack Jones and Linda Briskman (Jan. 14); Dr. Sandra Aronberg, Charo, Margaret O’Brien, Noah Furie and Mario Van Peebles (Jan.15); Kate Moss, A. J. Foyt and Debbie Allen (Jan. 16); Annette Saleh, Jim Carrey, Betty White, Barry Manilow, Michelle Obama, Muhammad Ali, and James Earl Jones (Jan. 17).

What a beautiful evening…The permanent tent atop L’Ermitage on Burton Way was dressed to the nines! The occasion called for the splendid, and a grand compliment to jewelry designer Caldwell (Sutherland) and entrepreneur/inventor Bob Bogert for the reception celebrating their recent marriage.

For elegance and magic, event designer Jacque Heebner chose a butterfly motif because “butterflies signify new beginnings.” The huge “tent” had it all – glamorous, but warm; high-styled, yet intimate; theatrical lighting cast a moon glow through the luminous fabric draped above, and chandeliers glittered while jeweled crystal butterflies seemed to take off in flight amongst the white flora.

The stunningly attired guests enjoyed a reception before dinner. Bob Bogart welcomed guests, and a beautiful champagne toast was given by Brad Lawson (Caldwell’s son) in honor of the bride and groom. The music of Michael George’s musical group was enhanced by vocalist Jimmy Carnelli’s Sinatra-like voice. It was the kind of party that captured everyone with old friendships being re-kindled, and new ones on the verge.

Some of those enjoying the event were Laya and Dr. Ben Bren Bogert, Peter Bogert, Charlene and Ross Bogert, the Dawn and Troy Bogert, Lynn and Frank Campbell, Ellie (Vallee) and Byron Clark, Avis and Skip Culbert of Phoenix (sister and brother-in-law of the bride), Linda Eng and Dr. Sanford Shapero, Richard Barnard with Elaine Verner, Marjorie Beradino, Judy Broumand, Marlene and Jack Evarone, Sally and Bill Feathers, Bob Lawson, Karen Dunphy, Bobbi Dye, Lois Fields, Valerie Hoffman, Gloria and Amb.

do for a living and what is your background in the city?

Michael Talei: I founded StudentFreelance.com to keep jobs in america by insourcing work to our students. Prior to that, I was VP at News Corp's R&D division and managing partner at MD Capital. I am a UCLA Bruin, Team Beverly Hills alum, and Sinai Temple member. I was born in Los Angeles and have lived in Beverly Hills since high school.

BHC: Why have you decided to run for City Council?

MT: During my time in Team Beverly Hills, I learned a lot about our city. There's little monetary transparency and people need to see how our money is being spent. It's sad to see that as residents we're not the most important factor for City Council in the decisions they make. I'd like to see a city that's more responsive to the needs of it's residents.

BHC: What do you believe you would bring to the City Council that would separate you from the other candidates?

MT: I'm not a politician and I'm not running to pursue a political career. I'm a resident and care about where I live.

BHC: What are the biggest issues you see the city facing in the coming years, and how would you deal with those issues?

MT: Take a look around and you'll see businesses that have folded up shop, storefronts that can't be leased, no real traffic solution, zero pollution control. Schools are running out of money while incomes are dropping and utility rates are increasing.

BHC: How closely do you follow the current City Council and the issues they have dealt with? What do you think of the job they have done?

MT: I think it's broken, which is why you have me here.

BHC: Where do you stand on Metro tunneling under the Beverly Hills High School Campus?

MT: I’m against it. It's unsafe and will completely disrupt life in Beverly Hills. Residents don't want it and they certainly don't want a subway under their schools.

Frances Allen Desert Roundup

“It can’t get any better than this!” That’s the yearly take-away comment from guests and celebrities who have attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala the past many years. This year, under the nurturing festival chairmanship of Harold Matzner and the gala co-chair Jim Houston, as well as additional major underwriting

by Helene Galen and Joann McGrath, this comment is as deserved as ever. Unlike other award galas, there were no surprises as to who will be an honoree and receive either a John Kennedy designed bronze sculpture of “The Joker”–the festival’s logo–or a specially-crafted piece of sculptured glass artistry designed by the famed Dale Chihuly.

Approximately 2,000 guests attended the gala, while more than 1,000 spectators, some camped out for 12 hours, lined Jackie Lee Houston Plaza opposite to the red-carpeted entrance to the Palm Springs Convention Center to shake hands and obtain autographs from the bevy of A-List, black-tied celebrities attending one of the biggest, most influential film festivals in the country transported, of course, by a fleet of luxury sedans and SUVs from Mercedes-Benz, the gala’s sponsor.

Inside the cavernous Convention Center, super party planner Sheri Kelly worked her magic yet again and created an orange-hued wonderland featuring orange silk tablecloths and napkins and 2,000 lighted glass table favors accented by 12,500 roses that, when compared to last year’s total of 17,000 purple tulips, may have seemed like downsizing until you recall that a massive shortage in the world’s supply of roses was created by an event taking place in Pasadena less than a week before, causing Kelly to place her flower order very early.

As might be expected, even more noticed than the roses or the décor, was the “bling” on display, thanks in part Helen Hunt & Helen Mirren Richard Gere to gala sponsor, Cartier. Not only did Cartier loan some remarkable pieces of jewelry to the celebrities to wear at the gala, each honoree and presenter received the jeweler’s signature Tank Solo watch; plus the male presenters also received cufflinks, with Love necklaces going to the female presenters.

But here’s one gala “back story” you won’t read about outside of this column. It features Naomi Watts honoree Helen Mirren, who has shown she is as much her own woman in real life as are the characters she portrays so riveting well on screen. In an “the Queen is not amused” moment, Dame Mirren eschewed the baubles offered by Cartier, choosing instead to purchase and wear a stunning, one-of-a-kind crystal David Webb necklace with matching ring, earrings and bracelet from David Webb Jewelers in Beverly Hills which, in an in-your-face gesture, she wore with an exquisite red couture dress.

For those readers keeping score as to how well the Palm Springs International Film Festival did this year as a precursor to the Golden Globes and Academy Awards, here is a listing of the honorees and presenters at the 2013 Awards Gala.

Argo stars Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin and Bryan Cranston received the “Ensemble Performance” award from Tony Mendez; director David O. Russell presented Bradley Cooper with the “Desert Palm (Actor) Achievement” award for Silver Linings Playbook; and for her performance in The Sessions, Helen Hunt was given the “Spotlight” award by her co-star John Hawkes.

The “Internal Star” award for Hitchcock was presented by Tom Hooper to Helen Mirren while Mychael Danna received the “Frederick Loewe” award for film composing for Life Of Pi from director Ang Lee. Naomi Watts’ co-star, Tom Holland, presented her the “Desert Palm (Actress) Achievement” award (Actress) for her work in The Impossible; Richard Gere received the “Chairman’s” award for Arbitrage from Diane Lane; and for her portrayal of Mrs. Lincoln in Lincoln, Sally Field took the “Career Achievement” award given her by Martin Sheen. Robert Zemeckis received “Director of the Year” award for Flight from Tom Hanks; and Tom Hopper the “Sonny Bono Visionary” award for Les Miserables presented by Eddie Redmayne. ****** Not that an excuse is needed, one spectacular party generally deserves another. But what do you do when your pre-Film Festival gala has to top the one held a year ago–when snow was brought to the winter wonderland home of Helene Galen, festival vice chair?

The answer: You put the dynamic duo of Galen and Jamie Kab- ler together and watch them produce a theme totally opposite to that of the previous year: You bring summer to the Desert, only during an unseasonable January cold spell. The “return of summer” was accomplished by tenting over the entire Galen backyard and placing frolicking swimmers wearing bathing suits into the pool.

Among the local celebrity guests who joined in the summer-party spirit were Carol Channing, Jack Jones, Mary Hart, the perennially beautiful hostess of the gala with husband Burt Sugarman.

Also featured was a new coffee table book, titled Audrey, The 60s.

Each guest received this 10-pound, picture-filled tome, personally autographed by the book’s author, David Wills. It was a fitting cap to the evening … an evening Audrey would have loved.

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH WELCOME TO ARGENTINA, YANKEES With taxes skyrocketing, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi calling for even more taxes, Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid refusing even to discuss spending cuts, President Barack Obama promising to continue spending us into oblivion, and small business continuing to tank, the thought to cry came to mind. So, since we’re in the entertainment capital of the world, what song about “cry” comes to mind? Best nominee, Don’t Cry for Me Argentina – from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, Evita!

We’ve all heard of Argentina, haven’t we?

You know, that long, fairly skinny country on the right hand side of the map of South America shaped kind of like a seahorse? (Noted: the skinnier one is Chile, on the other side of the continent.)

Argentina is the country that continues to bankrupt itself over and over again, first with Juan and Eva Peron, and now with Cristina Kirchner. Anyone can always tell when Argentina is really facing bank default and civil insurrection. That’s when they start griping about the Falkland Islands again. (Ooops, for Latinphiles, the “Malvinas.” Sorry.)

Why Argentina? Isn’t it a financial joke despite tremendous resources, fertile farmland and a highly-educated population? Yep. But why Argentina? Because that’s now becoming us.

You see, Argentina is broke. Has been for much of the last 50 –60 years. Argentines are socialists. They dispense money and goodies based on popular votes, not earnings or honest production. If anyone makes any money there, a majority vote of everyone else just takes it away. Simple system. Argentines repeatedly elect socialists who promise the people everything they want – food, shelter, health care, plastic surgery (a huge business there), subsidies for everything, retirement pay. Then, they can’t pay for any of it. Result: they confiscate savings, regulate businesses out of existence, take over foreign-owned companies, and generally destroy their economy. Most of the money disappears or inflates into the ether. They fill the streets of Buenos Aires with protestors, but that’s about it.

And, guess what? They stay broke.

Whenever they manage to elect a rational, responsible government that slices government and cuts subsidies and lets some sort of free market work, they recover because, after all, it is a rich land. Then, the people rebel and put back the socialists. They go broke again and the people never learn. They hate “the rich” so much that they want to make sure there are none.

Next, they wonder why there are no jobs, no improvements, and no money. They protest even more, just like our “Occupy” crowd. They can’t figure out that protestors don’t plant crops, build cars or really do anything productive. In fact, they bristle at the concept of “producing” anything.

Our federal government is doing exactly the same thing, but worse. You see, Argentina never had that much money to start with. We did. In 2013, the Obama-led federal government is systematically sucking all the money out of our system and returning it to places where it will never be seen again – public employee pensions, food stamps, unions, welfare, illegal aliens, bureaucrats, “earned income credits” and other giveaways.

It’s a cancer eating us alive. George W. Bush and his Republicans may have unleashed the plague of over-spending, but President Obama and his Democrats are spraying it like a

Rabbi Jacob Pressman SAME OLD, SAME OLD? Can you believe it? The novelty and excitement of a new year have already worn off as we settle down to the “same old, same old.” It was new and fun for a few days, but the euphoria has already been replaced by the usual. I asked myself if there is no way to recapture the newness and freshness of the early calendar and have concluded we can do that by seeking out the new and different. One obvious way is to venture where we have not been before. There are loads of hobbies and ventures each of us has never explored. Some of us are still dancing the steps we used years ago. Well, what are they doing these days? What fun it could be to take your favorite partner and enroll in a ballroom dance class and learn some new steps we can enjoy showing off.

Or, perhaps we have never ice skated before. It would prove exciting to strap a little pillow on our derrieres and risk a few falls to master a new skill.

In another direction, how about some new handicrafts such as needlepoint, embroidery, or gardening or painting – either house or one of its inhabitants? In still another direction, travel and discovery of some of the incredibly beautiful architecture or horticulture practiced in places we have never been in Scotland or Norway, or China or Israel?

Even as I write this I reminisce about places we have been, and realize there are so many more we shall never get to see but hope that you do. As 2013 begins may I wish for you that you try to make it a year for exploring the big world outside our tiny Beverly Hills–and if you do, please bring this now housebound scribbler a souvenir.

biological warfare nightmare. But Bush’s spending was a head cold compared with Obama’s fatal spending and giveaway cancer.

And do our people care? Don’t seem to.

They reelected Mr. Obama. (They also reelected the Republicans to control the House which is supposed to control spending, but that clueless bunch doesn’t seem to realize it.) With nearly 50 percent of American households on some form of government assistance, why should our people care? Since they refuse to support themselves with their own efforts, they just elect Democrats and expect the checks to come in.

And–know what?–for now the checks are coming in. Plus, there’s a good chance most people receiving the “government money” work some- The following burglaries, robberies and grand thefts have been reported by BHPD. Streets are usually indicated by block numbers. Losses in brackets. where for more money. And, if it’s “government money,” it must not be anyone’s money (except BURGLARIES the rich, and they’re bad).
