I Get that a lot...CBS reality show filmed at Yogurt Stop! Pump your own in WeHo...

Heidi Klum punks customers on CBS Comedy

"I Get that a Lot"

Yogurt Stop No. 1 Frozen Yogurt

(Los Angeles Magazine/Editors/July)

My charming gal pals at Yogurt Stop in WeHo have a lot to crow about!

Producers from a reality show  - "I get that a lot" - made a pact with the winsome twosome (lovers) to film a segment of the candid-camera-style comedy at the ever-popular dessert outlet in West Hollywood (CA).

The premiere episode first broadcast on CBS on April Fool's Day earlier this year,

The celebrity prank show that will feature name stars performing mundane jobs.

The producers are counting on the unrehearsed (impromptu)  reactions of hapless customers who wander into the hilarious scenario to rustle up a gaggle of belly-laughs.

A clever twist?

The celebs - if caught in the act - will swear up-and-down that they're only amazing look-alike versions of themselves.

Project Runway host Heidi Klum, Dancer Mario Lopez, Newlywed star Jessica Simpson, and songbird LeAnn Rimes all signed on for the tom-foolery (with others expected to hop aboard in the future if the show gains momentum and climbs the ladder to ratings heaven).

In spite of the fact the Yogurt Stop (which I have been touting here) just swung open its doors a scant few months ago, the popular dessert hang-out (where customers pump their own yogurt at whim) has already mustered up a loyal customer fan base.

Yogurt Stop has landed a few plaudits, too.

For example, in the July issue of  Los Angeles Magazine the editors named their scrumptuous all-Natural Frozen Yogurt No.1 in the county.

Congrats, ladies!

West Hollywood...Yogurt Stop. Where you pump your own!

I was trundling along Santa Monica Boulevard last evening with my head in the clouds when the owner of a shop - Yogurt Stop - dragged me inside to sample a handful of their precious yogurt flavors offered up in their spanking new outlet just across from the celebrity car wash.

Once inside, I felt a little disoriented.

Just another dessert shop?

No way!

Strains of catchy upbeat music that filtered out over the state-of-the-art stereo system brought a smile to my face.

"We crank it up after ten," the cashier (co-owner) piped up with a hint of wicked glee.

The decor is aesthetically pleasing, too.

For instance, eye-catching high-tech chrome vats outfitted with spiffy spigots installed flush along the back wall beckon the adventurous to pump their own yogurt treat at whim.

Then, the discerning yogurt officiando can slip over to a bank of deep-pan dishes and sprinkle on delectable toppings that range from chocolate chips, brownies - even coconut shavings - to fresh succulent fruits like blueberries, strawberries, mandarins, and the like.

"We were impressed with the quality of the produce at Urth Cafe so we signed on with their supplier," one of the co-owner cuties beamed.

With great gusto I rustled up a delightful treat at a princely sum: $2.34.

Sure suited the pocketbook!

For a short while, I relaxed in a comfy chair, as I chowed down on my "pump" special.

The heavenly scent of the freshly-cut flowers arranged here and there about the room were a classy touch, too.

On a wide screen overhead, I even caught an episode of the gay cult classic - "Queer as Folk" - that I missed a season or two ago.

The two gals who conjured up the idea have something here, judging by the number of lookie-loos who sauntered in for a gander non-stop.

Right now, the owners invite you to drop by and sample a handful of their tantalizing yogurt flavors for free.

Hurry, before the line starts forming at the door and snaking down the street.

Only in trendy West Hollywood, eh?
