Hollywood, Florida (The Hollywood Times) – 4/21/2026
Passover, Easter and Spring Break this year was one of my favorite tours at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida this year. It was one of those tours that I was able to see all my friends on the east coast, find myself a very sexy Irishman, and most of all have some closure with one of my past relationship.
I was even able to hit my first jackpot of the year on one of my favorite slots. The theme of my tour was “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT AND THAN WHAT”? Can “ONLY JOSIE KNOWS HANDLE IT?
I always meet the hottest men when I am not camera ready. The first day on my tour at The Hard Rock I went to the pool area and soaked up the sun and had Mimosas with my Russian friend Olla by the pool. I had so much fun that I broke all my nails. That rarely happens btw. My friend Olla’s husband bought her a house for Valentine’s Day, so I was so excited to see her new home in Plantation Florida. We then went to get our nails done in Dania Beach, and my nail tech happened to be a very sexy, artistic male nail tech. He told me I am going to change your luck and give you some sexy new RED GEL X nails. It’s time for you to find something magnetic. How did he predict that?
I ended up getting back to the Hard Rock and still had the toe separators on from my pedicure and was dead tired from a fun day of partying nonstop. Might I say also jet lagged. I ended going to the Sushi Bar “KURO” solo around 10.30 starving.
After I ate my “IKURA with QUAIL EGG which is my staple each night with a Kirin beer, I looked to my right and saw a very polished looking man. I Immediately I felt an attraction. This man was Irish (no accent though), handsome, educated, ripped body and might I say a gentleman. Well one thing led to another and before I knew it, he kissed me and I fell hook, line and sinker. This is not a sex column so I will not share too much but let’s just say, he was too much of man for me. After some time spent with a healthy, athletic, financier and age-appropriate man, I realized, I can’t hang long term. A couple days are fine, but I was exhausted mentally, physically & sexually.
The DATING coaches are right sometimes. We aren’t ready for what we want for the long term most of the time. The Irishman knew I had the time of my life and that he was everything I wanted and more in a partner, but can it really work cross country, or can I keep up with a man of this caliber? I believe I need some workouts as they say in Thoroughbred horse training…. Stay tuned…… (VERY GENEROUS MIGHT I ADD).
My parents are from the Soviet Union, and I speak Russian Fluently and I have to say I LOVE MY RUSSIAN WOMAN in Miami. It was one of my friends Dina’s B-DAY PARTY and we celebrated It at one of the hottest RUSSIAN RESTAURANTS in MIAMI “LIQUE”. DINA is a party promoter, and she hosts the hottest parties in MIAMI. When Dina hosts, it’s VIP (EXCLUSIVE). Woman don’t pay. The best food, alcohol and entertainment. The best-looking females, worldwide. (RUSSIAN STYLE) and some big shot men in the building.
Well after the Irishman left the tour, my Russian ladies joined the tour and let’s say we partied nonstop. We swam, celebrated birthdays, ate, cried., laughed and just had some old-fashioned girls’ time.
I was telling my Russian ladies that I miss “THE OLIGARCH” and I was feeling him that day. It was weird because we have not seen or spoken to each other in some time. My Russians ladies said, this is not California, there is a whole casino full of rich, handsome Russian Jews (NEXT). To be honest we never broke up. It was just a fight, and then no closure. I Swear God heard my prayers, because that night, I turned around and literally we both bumped into each other. At first, he was nice and pretended he was happy to see me. I told him, it was PASSOVER and I passed him over while wearing the beautiful Balmain dress he bought me. He looked at me and said some bad Russian words, and he looked like he was going to explode.
Let’s say I never looked back…
It was a happening night at the casino, and I felt I was going to get lucky. I sat down in the VIP room and started playing on a machine. I started hitting bonus after bonus and then thought tonight is the night I will hit. I started filming myself and this guy’s next to me said “don’t film me” I looked over and it was OFFSET. I said I’m sorry, but I am ONLY JOSIE KNOWS an Entertainment Reporter for The Hollywood Times and I am filming myself. I then asked him about an interview and he said no. I said Mr. OFFSET. I respect your privacy. I said, well what if you hit a jackpot and I bring you Luck? He smiled and said “I got you”
Well, we both got lost and the machines went cold.
I ended up going to play my favorite slot machine “BIG HOT FLAMING POTS” and left the VIP ROOM and hit my First Jackpot this year on the main casino floor. Thank you, “Hard Rock Hollywood”, while wearing my lucky “Balmain Dress” that the Oligarch bought me as a farewell gift on EASTER SUNDAY.
Well, on my last day of my tour, It was a beautiful beach day at “Haulover Beach” …with its white sand beach known primarily as Florida’s first official clothing –optional beach. My friends and I then went for an amazing happy hour at “UPTOWN 66 Hallandale”. The best MEXICAN food in South Florida. I would highly recommend their happy hour. The Tequila hit the right spot for the right price.
As I was going to my hotel room, feeling buzzed from the Tequila, I physically BUMPED into OFFSET, and it was like “FAIT ACCOMPLI “a thing that has already happened or been decided before those affected her about it, leaving them with no option but to accept it.
OFFSET looked at me and knew it was time to give “ONLY JOSIE KNOWS” an interview. I said “OFFSET, did you hit anything? He said, “I did” and I said “well., you promised me an interview.” He said “I got you, give me your number, I must go to my car at VALET.” I thought he was blowing me off, but he texted me immediately. He told me that I need to pay him. I said OFFSET, do I look like the Jennifer Hudson Show, or The Kelly Clarkson show? I would love to pay you but The Hollywood Times does not have that budget. I told him that I understand and that I am “LUCKY” person. God usually sends me to people for a reason and to reconsider. I told him I interviewed RAJ J last year at The Hard Rock and Snoop Dogg, recently gave an incredible interview to HOLLYWOOD TIMES.
We texted for 10 minutes and then, then 10 ft. from me I hear GUNSHOTS and I see “OFFSET IS ON THE FLOOR” by the VALET covered in blood.
I thought “what if”, he said walk with me to the car and do the interview, could I have gotten shot? Or if he had a drink with me and did an interview, would he have never gotten shot?
Only God knows.
I am “Only Josie Knows” and this tour at the Hard Rock taught me, that whatever is for me will NEVER pass me by, and if it does, then GOD has his reasons.
UNTIL MY NEXT TOUR AT THE HARD ROCK HOLLYWOOD……
