My Friend the Celebrity

Those of you who know me know that I am friends with TONS of celebrities. You also know that when it comes to celebrities, "friends" can mean I once saw them walking across the street in NY; and when it comes to friends, "celebrity" can mean they were an extra in a movie even if their entire scene got cut. Well I have a new celebrity friend, but I think this one could be my most legit, yet. About seven years ago, while working as a group leader at Camp AmeriKids, I got to work with this really cool chick from New Zealand named Lavina Williams. I remember her being very chill, so cool and one of the nicest people I've ever met. Even back then she was well known in NZ for singing in a popular girl group there. Since then she has moved to Australia and has spent the last few years performing in Sydney's incarnation of Disney's "The Lion King." Well, last year her sister got 2nd place on Australian Idol. This year, Lavina tried out and is currently in the Top 11 of Australian Idol. Thanks to YouTube and the internet, I've been able to find some clips of her singing on the show. Unfortunately I can't vote for her without making a very expensive phone call, but I thought that all of you needed to know that I have a famous celebrity friend in Australia. Here is a clip for you to enjoy!
