BIGGEST BANGER OF THE YEAR: Diddy and Aston Kutcher's 4th of July Party!

OMG I can't believe I'm going to write this! Well, those of you in the know have to know that Puffy aka Diddy aka Sean Combs has his annual All White Party in the Hamptons. Well he didn't this year, he had it in LA! And guess what, I was there!

If you know me you know I got to parties almost every night. Not just to have fun and spend money but to network. Because of this lifestyle I tend to get bored really fast with parties. Same ole music, same ole people, same ole cash bar. Well not this one!

This year Diddy teamed up with Actor, Model, Mogul Ashton Kutcher to "Celebrate Life - End Malaria" a non-profit organization they started to end Malaria in third world countries. Now back to the party!

EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was at this party. From Mariah Carey to Demi Moore, from Tyrese to Lindsay Lohan. And of course the fabulous Tamala Jones, Kym Whitley, Luenell, and yes FAITH EVANS!

So typically I get to a party a just mingle around until I get bored. Well as soon as I got to the shuttle and stood behind Damion Hall (Guy) and Mark Gerragos (Chris Brown & MJ's Atty) I knew this was going to be dope. As soon as we arrived to the mega mansion (next door to Denzel Washington's house) we were greeted by the staff of probably well over 100 to serve us. People walking on stilts, women in big rubber clear balls walking around the property, mini golf and volleyball set up for kids, a wii room candy bar, cotton candy, gift suites, several open bars and cabana's. WHEW! Not to mention, this was in someone's back yard.

We sat under a cabana for awhile just to soak it all in and who sat next to us, Dawn Richard from Dirty Money and former Danity Kane member and her boyfriend breakout star of group Day 26! Now in person they are just as affectionate as you see on tv. The funniest moment was running into Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. It was a pure accident. It was dark and when the light flashed I saw that it was her! I said "Are you Mariah Carey" and she said "I was when I got here" LOL. She looked AMAZING! But the most memorable moment of the night was dancing to Michael Jackson's "Wanna be starting something" on the stage that rotated in circles with Amber Rose, Chris Brown, Teyana Taylor, Quincy, Estelle, and my boy Michael! This of course was while Diddy, Tyrese, and Ashton got the crowd crunked! Interestingly enough, my boy Quincy (Puffy's son) was getting a little hot for Ms. Amber Rose. Now you know that old saying "Game recognize Game"? Well, let's just say that I was peeping it all night! Like father like son, Quincy is going to be a handfull ladies.

This was one of those parties where you wanted to savor every single moment and as it got closer to 10pm I got a little more and more anixous. Mad love to my boy Quincy who made the experience possible, now I gotta figure out how to get to the next one because I'm sure it's not going to be in LA!

Check out this video. You can see me in it real brieftly. This will help you FEEL the party!



Enjoy these pics below that we took at the party. They don't even do the experience any justice.

BET pulls Chris Brown from Michael Jackson Tribute

At the party on Sunday morning while standing at the bar I noticed a large group of people moving downstairs from the front walkway area. Noticably leading the pack was Chris Brown. It had to be about 2am so the first thing that popped in my head was why would Chris be here this late if he has to open the BET awards.

Later that night I ran into Chris in the backyard near the pool and asked if he would take a picture and he refused. Not knowing what was happening I was a bit turned off by that. The next morning I woke up and found an email waiting saying that Reverend Al Sharpton had Chris pulled from the BET Awards as an opening act. It was leaked that Chris, among others were going to do a tribute to Michael Jackson given his recent passing.

I will say that when I originally heard the song 'Better on the other side' by Diddy, Boyz II Men, Game, Chris Brown, and Mario Winans I too had mixed feelings about mixing the energy surrounding Chris and the overwhelming mourning felt worldwide for Michael. It wasn't until I attended the awards and ran into Chris again at another party on Monday that I felt BET was wrong for pulling him. I have had mixed feelings on Chris since the Rihanna incident. Is it because of the violent act of domestic abuse? Was it because we haven't heard from Chris yet? Was it because I was following everyone else? I don't know the answer to that yet, but what I do know is that the awards clearly could have benefited from Chris' presence and performance. Chris Brown is undoubtedly a talented artist, possibly a future icon in his own right.

On Monday when we passed each other I asked him if I could talk to him for a second. Chris without any hesitance said yes. We talked very briefly about music and other industry things and I told him I wish he would have performed. Chris thanked me and was very humble. It wasin that moment that I felt the need to respect that whatever transpired between Chris and Rihanna should rest with them. It is not my place to judge Chris, nor is it my place to feel sorry for Rihanna. Talking to Chris was like talking to my little cousin, and I just hope that he can somehow regain the public respect that his talent had previously earned.

When does everyone stop hating Chris Brown? I think we should be disappointed in him, but hating him doesn't change what happened, and hating him to the point that he didn't give tribute to someone who would have probably wanted him to was not a good look for BET.

I must admit I did sneak pictures of Chris but I won't post them since he declined to take them. Oh well, maybe next time. Check out the video and tribute song below referenced in this article.

Pleasure Parties!

OK OK, get your minds out of the gutter! *smh* Over the past week me and my crew had a blast with all of the BET awards parties. Now the best part was THEY DIDN'T COST A DOLLAR! Well, at least not for me. But the award for Best BET party (that I attended) this year belongs to *drum roll* Pleasure P and Justin Walker.

On Sunday morning at around 1230 am, the early morning before the BET awards I was tired and sitting in my car with friends. I had exhausted all party possibilities and wanted to keep going. I text every celebrity I knew to ask about parties. The first to respond was R&B hit singer, and former Pretty Ricky member, Pleasure P. He text me saying he and Baldwin Hills star and music producer Justin Walker were having a party as well as the address to his crib. We put the address in the navi and hit it to the hills. Everyone was that from Lil Kim, Chris Brown, Teyana Taylor and Jibbs, to Sean Kingston, Maino, Willie from Day 26, Terrence and Rocsi, and ME! I have to say, Pleasure P and Justin were dope as fuck! Both extremely hospitable and cool as fuck. After many many drinks and the best damn soul food, yes soul food, we kicked it until around 4am then cut.

On Monday night the night after the awards I started receiving texts from celebrity friends and eyelash Guru Jamaal Buster (www.jamaalbuster.com) that Pleasure P and Justin were having ANOTHER party! I called up my friend Bille Woodruff and Quincy (Puffy's son) and we hit it to the hills AGAIN! This time along with the original cast from Sunday's party I ran into Tamala Jones, Souljaboy, Slim Thug, and Omarion. Now this time I drank until the sun came up, leaving around 530am.

Although I joked around with Justin that he was the ringleader, I believe Pleasure's Parties were a doing all of his own! And go cop Pleasure P's debut solo album, 'The Introduction of Marcus Cooper' in stores now!!!

Chris Brown and Rihanna saga: PLEASE GO AWAY ALREADY!

Looking at the picture above you're probably thinking one of two things: 1. Both Chris and Rihanna have similar mohawks (at completely different stages) OR 2. Go AWAY already!

In the news yesterday they talked about Rihanna testifying against Chris for the beating that occurred the night before the Grammy's. I personally want this story to go away.

The media has sensationalized Chris and Rihanna's story to the point where little girls think it's ok for a guy to beat them, and Chris to feel comfortable enough to come out and denounce him being a monster! WHO CARES!

Here is my personal view of the entire deal. Rihanna and Chris made a beautiful couple, no doubt. Both were/are young. Both are rich and successful. Both don't need each other. But then Chris and her were chillin and at the end of it all (who really cares about the in between) HE BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER! NOW, there were rumors about a duet and a book denouncing physical aggression towards women! Hmm, wonder who the publicist for CB was at the time (You're fired!). Then there were rumors that Chris slept with his manager! I mean, c'mon! GO AWAY ALREADY!

We wish Rihanna the best!!! If Chris does get any time I'm sure BET will create a "Countdown to Lockdown" show for Chris too. Lord, it will never end.

Daniel Puder Calls out Chris Brown!

So at the charity fight, fighter Daniel Puder called out Chris Brown. Off camera, Daniel said that anyone who would be willing to hit a girl deserved to get in the ring and get their ass kicked. Now we all know Chris B isn't going to take him up on the offer, but the crowed seemed to want to see it. What do you think?
