I guess

this is the result of her Highness's Hollywood jaunt with 20+ members of her possee.

I thought they were out there to promote film production across the state.

Looks like one job was created.

I wonder what he's making, including travel reimbursement?

I wonder what the cost of the large entourage 3 day excursion was for the state?

Did they get to meet Arnold & Maria?

Did they get to Disney Land while they were out there?
