The omnipresent Paul Frank monkey is coming to swimwear near you. To celebrate, celebs such as new dad Perez Hilton, Catt Sadler, Ashley Rickards, and Bella Throne came to party pool side at the W Hotel in Hollywood.
Celebs and guests monkeyed about in an interactive photo booth, and enjoyed mini-manicures, braid bar, personal fragrance station, make up station, and VIP eyewear station.
Who hasn’t loved the DNC so far? Michelle won us over, and we wait with anticipation for Bill Clinton.
And, move over Clint Eastwood, there is a new man in town– Perez Hilton.
The pioneer of celebrity blogging, Perez Hilton, was in high spirits while he hosted the Turn Up the Vote event sponsored by Pringles and Rock the Vote during the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC yesterday. Describing himself as more of a moderate, Perez was overheard telling a fellow partygoer that ”I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a Republican. I’m a realist”. Later, he enjoyed fooling around with fellow guests Far East Movement and opted for ice water over calorie packed cocktails — guess that’s one of his slim-down secrets?
Her heart was said to be trodden upon and broken after he reverted back to his notorious womanizing ways.
But not so fast… Katy Perry and John Mayer appear to still very much be a couple.
The two musicians were spotted looking affectionate at the FYF Fest on Saturday night at Los Angeles State Historic Park, with eyewitness telling Perez Hilton that Katy and John were “all over each other.”
And if more proof be needed that the pair is still dating, then Perry herself provided it: She posted the photo above online under her real name, Katheryn Hudson.
You may remember we did an interview and profile with huge musical talent SIRPAUL™ a while back, here he brings us his report from the 2012 Logo NewNowNext Awards in LA.
He writes…
The most colorful names in pop culture were flaunting some daring fashion and putting on quite a show at the 2012 Logo NewNowNext Awards on April 5th at Avalon in Los Angeles, California. The show (which aired on April 9th at 10pm on MTV’s Logo channel) recognizes “who’s who” and what’s hot in pop culture. This year, yours truly – SIRPAUL™- was invited to make an appearance on the red carpet to promote my new single “Body Connection” (feat. Loco Ninja) and talk about my new album “The Horse”.
It was a star-studded event that left no fashion moment unimagined. From pop stars to movie stars to drag queens and everything in between, this years show was something truly unforgettable. Check out this slide show of whatBuzzfeed.com called All of the WTF Fashion from Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. I think you will get the idea LOUD and clear.
This year’s host Kelly Osbourne made a whopping 7 costume changes! Kelly also humorously pointed out that she has earned her right to critique other people’s fashion choices (on her hit show Fashion Police) while a slideshow played behind her revealing every fashion-don’t moment Kelly’s ever had! (Gotta love a girl who can poke fun at herself and blame her past poor fashion choices on drug use!)
Perez Hilton himself may have actually stole the show! Hisfreshly remodeled torso made it’s own appearance as he appeared shirtless on the red carpet wearing only a jacket and matching pants. (I guess if you’re working out that hard, you want to show it off, right? I’m certainly not one to talk here. I mean have you seen my new album cover!!)
After falling in line with major fashion icons, TV & Movie Stars and some pretty major pop stars to do press, we all gathered inside to watch the drama unfold before our eyes…and let me tell you this: It was sheer madness!
Some stars played it safe like The Hunger GamesJosh Hutcherson, Busy Phillips, Ashley Madekwe & Christa Allenfrom ABC’s Revenge and some played it sexy like Kat Graham, Janina Gavankar, The Talk’s Aisha Tyler and comedienne Heather McDonald. (Some we wished would’ve played dead like the not-so-friendly Kyle Richardsof The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills who sat next to her “plus-one” Faye Resnik and talked smack abouteveryone in the room all night. Surprised? We actuallywere.)
One of my newest obsessions is supermodel Andrej Pejic. Even though you’ve seen him in every major fashion magazine and on the runway, this gender-bending rule breaker is totally real, super cool and down to earth. (Not to mention beyond stunning.)
I got chat with some fellow up-and-coming electropop stars like the event’s DJ for the night, Kerli who was super cool and very down-to-earth despite her very out-of-this-world outfit
One of the evening’s most memorable performers was new comer Rye Rye. Her energy was way over the top with inflatable beach toys, a chinese dragon and backup dancers that put Salt N’ Pepa to shame. Her new single “Boom! Boom!” is infectious! Check it out HERE.
What a difference a year in the pop-star machine can make! Sadly, I didn’t have the chance to speak with last year’s DJ and one of this year’s main acts Neon Hitch. She looked super hot as she performed her new single “Love U Betta” with some backup dancing courtesy of this years lineup of drag queens from Logo’s most popular showRuPaul’s Drag Race.
I had to save the best for last. Two words: Adam Lambert. The American Idol star’s performance of his new single “Trespassing” was a mind-blowing power anthem second only to Queen that ended in a massive explosion of confetti that I’m still finding all over the place while emptying out my suitcase.
