jamie foxx always gets live in chicago!

I love hanging with Oscar Winning/Grammy Nominated Jamie foxx when he is in chicago- and mostly because he loves Chicagoans!  He just lights up when gets here, grabs my mic, and won’t stop screaming love to all in the room!  (that and he just cracks me up when we party- wow)

We were rapping couple nights ago at sunda (already been twice this trip alone!), and he was just so excited to be back, and couldn’t wait to share that chicago love this weekend at his concerts… If can make either of his shows, sure he would love the support back, and sure you will have a blast!  Info & tix at www.ticketmaster.com

people like Ellen Degeneres, Brooke Shields, Lauren Holly, Pamela Anderson, Ryan Seacrest, Queen Latifah,.. have all joined the coolest people in chicago for the most amazing runway presentations combined w/ live performances by artists like beyonce, Cyndi Lauper, MC Hammer, Big & Rich, B-52′s, the Pussycat Dolls, Wayne Newton…

This year Ne-yo, celeb dj mel debarge and so many more are lighting up the stage- actually, dj mel debarge & crew are officially making the vip afterparty at the underground the place to be that night!  (as always right? haha!)

chicago luvabulls tryouts @ united center!

nba chicago bulls’ dance troupe / cheerleaders, the infamous chicago luvabulls, are having their annual tryouts this Saturday- and I’m a judge!  (Ya, tough job, but someone had to step up- haha!)  at last year’s auditions, when I was first asked to Judge, I showed up & froze when thousands of ridiculously talented & beautiful chicago girls were jamming out in front of me to killer music & routines- just so I could start making my picks- omg- it was crazy- very excited about the ’09-’10 crew this saturday!

Anyway, need your help to spread the word- everyone has a friend that should tryout to be on the luvabulls- you never know who will be picked!?!   Think- what a fun way to support & celebrate our city performing at bulls home games, representing at charity events, promotional opportunities.. and when they travel internationally (luvabulls have appeared in japan, Greece, costa rica, france,… and more)! just go to www.bulls.com and Fill out an application, practice your moves, and will see ya at the United Center this Saturday (8/1) at 9am!

me & our chicago friends on hbo’s entourage

If scroll down to the Jeremy Piven video below- you will see him making fun of me while we were filming a scene together on entourage insisting that I keep my day job! (ya, I know, he’s right)  

Anywho, the episode finally airs this Sunday (8/2)!  Just whatever you do, don’t blink, you will for sure miss me! (that is, if my ugly mug didn’t hit the cutting room floor already! ugh)

Coolest thing about the experience was that my scene was with 3 huge chicago theatre actors- Gary Cole (Steppenwolf), Jeremy Piven (Piven workshop), and David Schwimmer (lookingglass)!  5 hours filming together on set rapping between scenes about how cool chicago is and how much they miss it!  Come on- do you see the absolute coolness in that?  One of the top shows on tv, actors competing from around the world, and there are 4 people filming around that endeavor table from chicago! (actually, 5! One actress used to work at a bar in wrigleyville while taking acting classes here!)
