Shia your breath is so sweet...Transformers Premiere in London

Ok... before I get to the most exciting stuff I will discuss my adventures from yesterday.

Yesterday, the flat mates and I got up early and headed to Hampton Court Palace, one of Henry VIII's most beloved castles... (his son Edward was born there, Anne Bolyen lived there for a while, Katherine of Aragon was sent here.) I was super excited to go and it was very pretty, especially the gardens. I was a bit disappointed due to the lack of Henry VIII history. I figured that since it was one of his favorite places, the castle would be set up to highlight his reign. Well, much of the
 palace burned in a big fire and a lot was rebuilt in the 1700s, so 
much of the rooms were King George's and other Royals from that time. It was still wonderful and I am so glad we got to go. After that, we came home and just chilled at the flat. 

Today, Shandi and I had to go to work until noon and then class from 1-4. That all went fine... we were just really anxious to get out of there because tonight was the London Premiere of Transformers 2. We hopped on the tube and arrived in Leicester square around 4:45. Most of the celebs started filing in around 6:15. Shia LaBeouf was the first to arrive. Many are astonished by this young mans charming demeanor and hot bod considering he got his big break on a Disney tv show playing an uber nerd named Lewis Stevens on Even Stevens. He then went on to play Stanley Yelnats in Holes and now he is the hunky
hunky heartthrob star of Transformers... I literally could smell him.... he was so close and it was amazing. Then Josh Duhmel arrived... back in my younger days a date with Tad Hamilton is all I wanted. Now that the young stud is married off to Fergie Ferge I suppose I will take being insanely close to him at the premiere... Ladies he is just as beautiful in person. Then of course the Diva Megan Fox showed up looking as beautiful as ever. She did not come to our section. It started raining and they hustled the stars in... but we did also get to see Michael Bay the director which was super cool. And I know my brother, the autograph junkie, will be upset to hear that I DID indeed have pen and paper with me, however.. it got trampled in the massive crowd and I was unable to reach it at the appropriate moment... they all totally would have signed though...bummer. It was awesome and amazing and you will be hearing all about the Harry Potter Premiere later in the summer when my flat mates and I attend!
