ROBERT LUKETIC
We’ve known Rob for years, and he is one of the nicest and most talented directors in town. Robert has directed films such as The Ugly Truth, 21, Monster-in-Law and the megahit Legally Blonde. When Rob isn’t working, he likes to hang out at his favorite shop, Confederacy. It’s a cool, laid-back store that features hard-to-find, original pieces by emerging and established American and international designers.

LEFT: J.J. Abrams; RIGHT: Blue Plate Oysterette.
J.J. ABRAMS
J.J. Abrams is a triple threat. He’s the megasuccessful producer, writer and director behind many of our favorite films and television shows, such as Star Trek, Alias and Lost. J.J.’s favorite place to grab a bite to eat is the new Blue Plate Oysterette on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. This is the perfect spot to people-watch while enjoying a cold beer and a bucket of fresh, raw oysters. Sit under the awning and enjoy the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
