Seems like The Young and the Restless' Maria Arena Bell is showrunner by day and art saviour by night. The Los Angeles Times is reporting the showrunner has spared LA's Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) from closing its doors for good. According to the article, Bell took over the job as MOCA's co-chair and spared the  famous modern-art museum from going belly up, by raising over 50 million dollars.  Bell stated:

The reason I love the MOCA gala—and all the events I’m involved with—is it messages what the organization is about. This isn’t just another black-tie, rubber-chicken-dinner. The idea of that gala is what the arts can bring to people. It’s not about being an artist or even being a patron of artists—it’s just about what makes us human. It is the thing that outlives us all.

Forget watching Twilight: Breaking Dawn.

Kids, I couldn't make this up even if I wanted to! Cosmopolitan has come out laptop keyboards blazing against The Young and the Restless showrunner Maria Arena Bell's fashion sense. The magazine listed Bell as one of "The 7 Worst Dressed Celebs of the Week." Cosmo cracked on Bell's attire at The Museum of Contemporary Art Gala, saying:

We can't believe Christmas decorations are already on sale and it's not even Thanksgiving yet.

Maybe this is a sign MAB should be spending more time at  the Y&R studios and less time striking poses on red carpets?

Daytime Confidential readers have no doubt gotten whiplash from our shifting opinions on The Young and the Restless showrunner Maria Arena Bell. When she first took over the series we praised her for masterfully "fixing" the mistakes of past regimes. She brought the Abbotts back front and center, undid Kay and Jill's (Jeanne Cooper and Jess Walton) wonky, maternal connection, invited back beloved, old faves like Beth Maitland (Traci), Lauralee Bell (Cricket), Nina (Tricia Cast) and more. We were thrilled. READ MORE
