Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood had a Smashing Opening


The most recent addition to the Hard Rock chain, Officially opened last night, with a host of Celebrities, smashing guitars outside, by the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Antonio_Villaraigosa,George_Lopez,Robin_Thicke,Jay_Phillips,Angie_Everhart,Aubrey_ODay,Ashley_Roberts,Jeremy_London,Rememba_Ent,Hard_Rock_Cafe

The celebrity line up included R&B crooner - Robin Thicke, funny guy - George Lopez, This Is It's rock chick/guitarist - Orianthi, and Los Angeles' Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Other celebrities, who took part, included - Playboy's Bridget Marquardt ("Girls Next Door"), Angie Everhart (Actress/Model), Ashley Roberts (from the Pussycat Dolls), Aubrey O'Day (Playboy model and former member of Danity Kane), Jay Phillips (Actor/Def Comedy Jam Comedian "Semi Pro, Prom Night, Baby Mama etc.), Jeremy London (Actor/Producer "Mall Rats", "Party of Five" etc.), and Jonathan Lipnicki (Actor "Jerry Maguire, Stuart Little etc.), to name a few.
(from L-R)Jay Phillips, Bridget Marquardt, George & Robin, George Lopez, & Orianthi

It's not every day you see models in their high heels smashing guitars to pieces, so it was certainly a treat for spectators. I found it to be quite entertaining. George Lopez's guitar seemed to put up a fight, as it took several attempts to destroy it. Proud of his smashing skills, Jay Phillips told me he was going to keep a piece of his guitar as a souvenir! Robin Thicke and Orianthi appeared to be true guitar destroying professionals... The Mayor seemed to take to it like a duck to water too.

Just for the record... The guitars that were smashed, had been donated by the manufacturers, who had deemed them to be defective.

After the Rock 'n' Roll "moment", the VIP's and celebrities, plus yours truly (of course!), were ushered back inside the Hard Rock Cafe (located in between the world famous Kodak Theatre and the Grauman's Chinese Theatre), for the ultimate party. There were lines of waiters and waitresses, with trays full of alcohol and appetizers, that seemed to be ongoing throughout the night. Bloody Mary's with shrimp in them, pizza, southern style chicken sliders, regular sliders, pork-filled potstickers, oysters, crab cakes, and sesame seed chicken skewers, were all included in the offerings, plus a table with a mountain of fruits and cheeses, and another "naughty" table full of chocolate treats, profiteroles, cheesecake, and green "red velvet" cupcakes. There was even a "cool" Hard Rock ice sculpture that was lit up in red.

While guests were mingling and celebrity spotting, George Lopez hosted the evening on stage, and introduced the performers - Orianthi (who played some of her own material - a nice acoustic guitar set), and Multiple Grammy Winner - Robin Thicke - who was the main performer for the evening, and had the crowd (especially the ladies) going wild. DJ Muggs from Cyprus Hill was the DJ for the evening, keeping the crowd hyped up, in between sets.

Even the kitchen staff seemed to be feeling it, as they were dancing in the kitchen, looking like they were having their own party! (Though I think they were oblivious to us noticing... (what a shame I happened to have filmed some of it hehe!) It certainly added to the entertainment.

Overall it was a great event, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. And most importantly - all proceeds from the cash bars were being donated to the Women's Center Downtown Los Angeles who provide permanent supportive housing, more than 50,000 nutritious meals, medical and mental health services, job training and literacy programs to hundreds of women in need each year. If you would like further information, you can visit http://www.dwcweb.org/donate.htm

Thank you Hard Rock, for the invitation... it was a pleasure to be there. I believe it's now safe to say, you have declared the Hard Rock Cafe HOLLYWOOD to be OFFICIALLY OPEN...!

15th MOBO ANNIVERSARY PROVES UK TALENT HAS COME OF AGE

TINIE TEMPAH AND JLS TOP THE BILL WINNING 2 MOBO AWARDS EACH
N DUBZ, PROFESSOR GREEN AND PLAN B ALSO SCOOP AWARDS!

The cream of UK talent swept the board at this year’s MOBO Awards in association with Lebara Mobile, held last night at the Echo Arena (Liverpool). With all categories voted for by the public on mobo.com, the star-studded ceremony saw British talent, Tinie Tempah and JLS as this year’s biggest winning acts, walking away with two gongs each.

The past 15 years of MOBO Awards have celebrated and embodied urban music and in a year where MOBO artists have accounted for two thirds of the No.1 spots in the single charts, this year’s ceremony has proved that British is best.

This year’s awards marked the explosion of the UK’s very own Tinie Tempah. Making his MOBO debut with a staggering four nominations, the South London rapper took home the prestigious Best Newcomer award and Best Video in association with MTV BASE for his number 1 hit, "Frisky".

Hosted by Radio 1’s Reggie Yates and UK songstress Alesha Dixon with N-Dubz hosting backstage in Liverpool, this year’s show saw other phenomenal performances from N Dubz, Roll Deep, Mark Ronson and Tinchy Stryder’s show stopping finale featuring Tinie Tempah, Devlin, Giggs, and US Rapper - Nelly.

Along with his stellar performance on the night, Professor Green proved his worth this year picking up Best UK Hip Hop / Grime, while Best UK R&B / Soul Act went to Plan B.

This year MOBO also paid tribute awarding the Lifetime Achievement Award to Billy Ocean for over 30 years in the business.

For only the second time in MOBO history, the show ventured outside of its native London, to expand the MOBO family to another city with a great musical heritage, to the banks of the Mersey, home of The Beatles, Liverpool.

Celebrity Fest at the Launch of Serious Pimp.com Sat May 15th 2010

Bishop Don Juan, Snoop Dogg, DJ Quik, Ice-T and Others Join LA and OC Elite at the Serious Pimp Store Grand Opening

The grand opening celebration of the Serious Pimp store will draw a host of celebrities to its Hollywood, CA store on Saturday, May 15, 2010. Major hip hop and sports celebrities will attend the grand opening and fashion show debuting the Serious Pimp Bishop Don Juan line and welcoming Bishop Don Juan as Chairman of the Board. The invitation-only “We Own The Night” after party in honor of Ali Kutzner’s 30th birthday will be held at West Hollywood’s exclusive Club Villa.

IRVINE, CA (PRWeb), May 7, 2010. Serious Pimp announced that it named Bishop Don Juan as Chairman of the Board. Showcasing the new Bishop Don Juan line at the grand opening of its West Hollywood store, on Saturday, May 15, 2010, Serious Pimp expects the guest list to include the elite from the hip hop community as well as major sports and television celebrities.

The store is located at 7920 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA. The grand opening will take place between 3 PM and 6 PM and will feature a red carpet for special guests, Snoop Dogg’s personal private DJ, DJ LT, food and a fashion show featuring never-before-seen designs.

The after party features special invited guests including Snoop Dogg, Daz and Kurupt, Tha Dogg Pound, super-producer LT Hutton, The Game, DJ Quik, NFL star DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles, Ice-T, The Situation from MTV’s Jersey Shore, NBA stars Elton Brand of the Philadelphia 76er’s and OJ Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies, Fuzzy and Big Boy from Power 106, Raz B formerly of B2K, TV and movie star Omar Gooding, TV personality and recording artist Ray-J, world famous DJ Spinderella, hip hop icon Doug E Fresh, comedian Tony Rock, and DJ Eric V of the Baka Boyz.

DJ Arash will run the show at the Villa. The event will also feature a live performance of his hit single “Life of the Party” by platinum recording artist Mista Fab and a surprise performance by a prominent platinum artist. Blunt Magic will sponsor the entire day.

“The pre-grand-opening and after party will be the place to be on Saturday, May 15, 2010,” said Serious Pimp CEO Damian Kutzner. “The DJs and special guest performers will rock the house for Ali’s birthday bash and give fans a great show.”

Dirty D & Furly’s The Real OC events at Club Villa begin this Saturday, May 8, 2010 in honor of Dennis Rodman’s birthday. Located on the corner of Melrose and Huntley in West Hollywood, Club Villa brings secret-society chic to a whole new level. Though nearly impenetrable without an A-List hook up, the petite space is quirky, stylish, and intriguingly costumed with peculiar pieces of art to make the avant-garde crowd feel right at home. This two-story destination holds only a handful of people. Those lucky enough to attend Ali’s birthday bash will rub elbows with OC and LA’s upper-crust and discover why “We Own the Night.”
