New Years Eve in Times Square

I'm still trying to process everything that happened last night. It was really all so amazing a little bit like a dream, being right in the middle of Times Square for the whole evening in way below freezing temperatures with one of my favorite celebrities, Steve Harvey and covering the celebrity wedding of Maria Menounos. Here are a few quick selected photos from the evening.

Malala Yousafzai

in ,

I would say that generally my policy was to politely refuse a "celebrity" photo opportunity. Then years ago Bill Clinton asked if I wanted a photo and I politely declined and immediately felt like a rude idiot. How could I refuse the opportunity with Malala Yousafzai. I hope my daughter has even an ounce of her drive

““My great hope is that this will be the last time we must fight for the education of our children. Let us solve this once and for all.””
