Fab Celebs I Met And Worked With In 2011

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

Last year I had the opportunity to work with and interview a lot of celebs. I must say it was a great experience. The one that stood out the most to me this year was Jay Leno when I was invited out to the NBC studios holiday party. He was the most genuine guy I’d ever met! We talked over eating at the buffet table and I asked him for a quick picture but after he was done eating and he was just the sweetest guy!

He is VERY handsome in person too! It was a great year to interview a lot of celebrities as well! I really enjoyed chatting with Sanaa Lathan about her movie she was in called, Contagious. We laughed and she even showed me how to work my recorder on my black berry! I had no clue I even had that feature, thanks Sanaa! Sinbad was a riot and I met his whole family, very nice people!

Pro-Skater Stevie Williams Hip Hop Playground

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

On Friday, September 30, I received a special invite to pro skateboarder Stevie Williams’ private event at his skate park, Da Playground, which was hosted by radio personality Kenny Burns. It’s tucked away in a private area at Phipps Plaza. I had no clue that there was a skate park underneath the mall. The huge skate park is spray painted in colorful graffiti, adorned with tricked-out skateboards, a DGK Skateboards showroom, a state of the art PlayStation area, and a pool table. I chatted with Stevie, and learned that he’s originally from Philly, but now resides in both Los Angeles and Atlanta. He built the skatepark/showroom in Atlanta because he wanted to have a place to chill while also conducting business in Atlanta.

He comes from very humble beginnings and has built a major empire. A father of two, he shared that neither his son or daughter has shown an interest in the sport yet.

During the event, a host of entertainment industry types stopped by to kick back, listen to the great music and drink complimentary cocktails provided by Grey Goose. I spotted rapper Ludacris and others who were coming in as I was exiting. I had to scoot to some other events since it was BET Hip Hop Awards Weekend.

It was a pleasure meeting Williams. A special thanks to thank Premier PR for the personal invite and to New Era for the fabulous goody bag.xoxo

Ballin For A Cause At Luda’s Celeb Basketball Game

Monday, September 5th, 2011

ALL the surrounding counties in and out of town,students,sports fans,weave wearers,weave sewers,fashion do’s and fashion don’ts attended Luda’s Celebrity Basketball Game yesterday at Morehouse College Forbes Arena. I called myself getting there extra early and I still couldn’t get a darn parking spot! After searching and searching I found a side street far away and had to walk a country mile to get to the building! It was wall to wall people standing in line waiting to get into the game, it was something to see! I think with the help of Luda,The Bieber and more tweeting and doing radio promos, the crowd was well aware of the basketball game lol.

I finally made my way inside backstage to get checked in and get my position on the court floor. When I looked up, The Bieber, Shawty Lo,Carmelo Anthony,Teyana Taylor and more celebs were practicing their free throws. I’m not much of a sports gal but yearly this event draws a great crowd. I took a lot of great pics and spotted too many celebs and their babies, crowd shots and more for you to see. I won’t bore you with my commentary but just let me tell you that it was fun as I dont know what! I thought I was going to get knocked in the face with the ball a few times and trampled over by the players but it never happened…whew! I also got to chat with Euxodie(Luda’s girl), Lala Vasquez, Tyrese,Vanessa Simmons and more.

Highlights were Luda giving the Dean of Morehouse a huge check for 10 thousand dollars and the performers at half time! I loved to watch the kids dance! The final score was 134 to 132. The Blue Team won! The Bieber was on the blue team too! Enjoy the pics and thanks to Brand Pr for the personal invite!
