Grammy's 2012 After PartyEntertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is hosting the ‘one’ party that everyone will be vying to attend right after the Grammy’s, Sunday February 12, 2012. This event serves as a charity fundraiser for Angelwish.org and will be held on the grounds of the prestigious PLAYBOY MANSION in Los Angeles starting at 8:00PM. The event is produced by iDonate Charity, a Los Angeles based company that coordinates events for charities.
The first ever “Fame at the Mansion” event will be a delightful party, catering to a guest’s every need. Hailed by some as “The World’s most sought after venue and party destination,” the exclusivity and charitable theme of this event make it appealing to guests on several different levels of interest. Guests will be welcomed with a cocktail reception when they arrive onto the grounds of the Mansion. Attendees will be treated to an open bar and dinner all night long. Entertainment will include a live performance by a Grammy nominated artist (tba), DJ Award, fashion show, and many surprise guest celebrity appearances. Several Playmates will be on hand to hostess the event and give tours of the grounds of the Playboy Mansion including the Grotto, Game Room, Tennis Courts, Zoo, & Aviary to those special guests that have contributed VIP admission. On music’s biggest night, the biggest stars will be out in force, and a great number of celebrities will join the guest list at Hollywood’s most lavish party! Angelwish, the beneficiary of the event, is most pleased to be included in the largest event ever offered to help raise funds for their cause. Created in 1999, the organization is dedicated to providing the public with an easy way to grant wishes to millions of children living with chronic illnesses such as Asthma, Diabetes, and HIV/AIDS around the world. The charity works on 6 continents with over 110 Hospitals and Care Centers in the United States and an additional 15 Care Centers in 9 other countries. In appreciation of his exemplary support to Angelwish and many other charitable organizations in his lifetime, Angelwish will be presenting Hugh Hefner with their “Humanitarian of the Year” award at the event. Tickets are now available! Join me and Billie Mitchell of Supernova Models at the Grammy's After Party of the Year! |

U.S. Mr. Gay brings together contestants representing the nation’s most prestigious cities, a wide variety of celebrity judges, performers, and hosts, as well as spectators from all around the country. A series of competitive categories and performances will culminate in the naming of the 2012 U.S. Mr. Gay titleholder. The winner of this competition will go on to compete in International Mr. Gay (IMG). The IMG Competition is the largest and oldest running international contest to select an ambassador or spokesman to support the mission of the sponsoring nonprofit corporation, the Noble Beast Foundation.
With a year of experience under his belt, Yelk believes that the U.S. Mr. Gay Competition in Philadelphia will again raise the event’s profile and visibility. “We built a lot of momentum in 2010. Philadelphia’s regional LGBT community members opened their arms wide and embraced the opportunity to be the first east coast host for U.S. Mr. Gay,” said Yelk. “But last year was just the beginning, and I guarantee that 2011 will be a bigger, better, and more fabulous event.” The schedule, venues, contestants, and entertainment for the U.S. Mr. Gay Competition will be released periodically on www.nightlifegay.com.

Join me and many others May 15th. I walk in memory of Melinda Bengels a true friend born with HIV from a drug addicted mother. Her life impacted me in so many ways and I want to share her memory and support fellow HIV/AIDS community friends in the fight and awareness. Melinda "Mel" was 23 years old when she lost her fight in 2007 and on May 15th I will walk with her in spirit in walking the good fight. Please join me or donate to an amazing cause.
