LOS ANGELES - Pop star Katy Perry often takes to her Twitter feed to tell fans - "Katycats" - how much she loves them - and tonight, the people proved that they love her, too. The sensational starlet picked up the most awards at the 38th Annual People's Choice Awards, winning in five categories including favorite female artist and song of the year.

Although Perry cancelled her scheduled appearance at the fan-voted fete in the media frenzy following the recent news of her impending divorce from British rocker Russell Brand, the CBS broadcast featured a red carpet that read like a "Who's Who?" of young Hollywood: Lea Michele, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Nina Dobrev, Ashley Greene, Vanessa Hudgens, Julianne Hough, and other fashion-forward starlets, making the 2012 People's Choice Awards Best Dressed List a tough one to make.

New South Tampa concept restaurants? Yes, please!

Looking forward to a few new South Tampa restaurants, developed and conceptualized by current Ciro's Speakeasy and former Ceviche owner Gordon Davis. And the best part is the plan to use lots of locally sourced food beginning with Sweetwater Organic Community Farm!

From the article: "'We'll source seafood from the gulf, and sustainably raised pork from the Odessa area. We'll have to look outside the area for our beef and lamb,' concedes Davis."

I love the concept of locally sustained, organic food being served in high-profile, trendy dining establishments. Tampa is an active community of people serving the purpose of sustainable energy, "going green," and other tree-hugger-esque activities, and I want it to keep growing in that direction. Cool kids, please start recycling!
