fresno beach longtime amiga samantha lockwood is--as usual--getting rave reviews in the fashion & film world. her fleurings earrings were just featured in us weekly and genlux magazines, while palm springs life placed samantha in its "40 under 40" young stars issue. her "shoot the hero" dvd--co-starring jason mewes and our longtime amigo danny trejo--will be released october 1, weeks after danny's "machete" has hit the big screen. in this film, desert star weekly's eonn skye calls samantha a "young jennifer aniston", which makes sense to us here at the beach since we see sam as a good, old friend ... kinda like rachel green, who actually was a young jennifer aniston. continued success to ya, samantha!!

my old powerhouse gym amigo danny trejo is now headlining a movie that stars robert de niro, jessica alba, lindsay lohan, steven seagal, cheech marin, michelle rodriguez, rose mcgowan, jeff fahey & don johnson ... "yo danny! if you need a bench-press spotter in 'machete 2,' holla!" 66 years old & 188 films in 27 years!! ... telling y'all, danny trejo is the mama effing man! robert rodriguez's "machete" ...

rampage jackson plays mr. t's character b.a. in "the a-team" movie coming out june 11, but on may 29 he was more like rocky balboa in the beginning of "rocky III" when rock had ring rust because he did the celebrity thang & rashad evans won the grudge match just like mr. t's clubber lang ... huh? ... if that makes any sense. no matter ... love both fighters, as does everyone, and can't wait to see the eventual rematch, after rashad fights lyoto machida & rampage fights whoever he fights. also, can't wait to see rampage in the movie in a week-and-a-half ... i hear he kills in it! ... photo via bleacher report

actually, she's been our favorite dentist for years and a fave here at fresno beach ... we just never "officially" christened michelle asselin as world's greatest dentist until today. so with apologies to north pole legend hermey the elf d.d.s., there's a new #1 dentist in town ... and she is not a misfit, nor an elf ... and if you have no idea what i'm talking about, well, then you must have never read the great literary tome "rudolph the red-nosed reindeer." ladies & gents, here's michelle from last weekend's annual "save and seal our smiles" event in fresno, with reporting provided by ksee 24's pamela prado & kmph 26's laid-back clayton clark, who does everything but spit from his dentist chair in his in-depth reporting here ...
