chicago 2016 olympics w/ oscar winner jamie foxx


September 29th, 2009

 

 

I first took jamie foxx out on the town about 8 years ago… he was always a very nice guy- actually kind of quiet back then?  As the years went by, he really opened up and let himself shine, ripping the mic at my clubs getting crazy, winning acting awards, making great music,… totally impressive, and still, a very nice guy. 
 
This video is from a very similar night, where Jamie walked into the underground recently, said big hellos, grabbed my mic, and went nuts!  He also stopped to talk to me about his feelings for chicago, the country & the olypics here in 2016!  I know you will enjoy…

chicago 2016 olympics w/ melrose place’s katie cassidy


September 29th, 2009

 

 

Katie Cassidy & I actually had the most tripped out scene together in “nightmare on elm street” that filmed here in chicago all summer!  I played a cop who had to walk into a crime scene w/ my gun drawn, down a long scary hallway to a dungy bedroom, where there was a dead ripped up body, at which time I had to deliver my lines. Katie was the main character that happened to be that dead body!  Anyway… love when movies and talent come to chicago like this… hope you do too!

This is so random I know… but I got to give these girls a lot of credit… they work their butts off, take hard knocks, follow their dreams, and represent Chicago!  They’re our very own Chicago Roller Derby Team “The Outfit!”  Who knew?  I saw them skating outside of Rockit Wrigley when I was interviewing “norm” from “cheers” (scroll down a few interviews) and I had to rap w/them for a bit- hope you enjoy! And I hope you support them as I will when they start up again next season!

chicago 2016 interview with “friends” david schwimmer


September 27th, 2009

my best man & best friend for 15yrs was the perfect partner to travel beijing w/ me to enjoy & study the olympic games & festivities as we both wanted to know first hand what the olympics was all about, and to know if chicago would be a good place to hold the olympics too- and it is now safe to say, we saw it w/ our own eyes & can confirm w/ all that chicago would be the perfect host city for the 2016 summer olympics!!!

check out this video where we share some of our personal pics & video from our olympic trip w/ all of you in effort to simply get you excited! also, even though apparently “friends” is an international phenomenon (and supposedly used to help teach chinese how to speak english), which caused us to have alot of people around us as david sometimes got mobbed by people screaming “ross!” at him… we actually felt a bit alone at the games, as it was missing just one thing… you, americans.

where were all our fellow u.s. athlete supporters on that side of the earth? it sure would be easier if it was here huh? how many of us have ever really been to the olympics? if we dont get them now will you get to go in this lifetime? i hope so, because you must go… and if we get it in chicago… you will go… w/ your best friend, parents, kids, coworkers, neighbors … it will be a beautiful thing… and that you will remember forever.

as for me, if you are following me on twitter (click here to follow), you know i just left moscow yesterday & landed in st. petersburgh, soon to make my way through sweden, on my way to copenhagen to meet mrs. obama & my fellow chicago 2016 olympic committee members for the official 2016 olympic host announcement on oct 2nd where i am sure chicago will win! especially if everyone helps now…

chicago 2016 olympic interview on set of hbo’s entourage w/ emmy winner jeremy piven


September 27th, 2009

of all my behind the scenes sharing on twitter, people freaked out when i was tweeting while filming my part on entourage! (click here to follow me too) you can actually see my entourage scene in this video, watch jeremy and i scramble around the set of entourage to find light, and talk about why the olympics need to be back in the united states, and in our sweet home chicago!

jeremy has been winnning emmy awards, filming movies, and gaining appreciation all over the world, but what i especially love about him most is that he never forgets about home, and his mom. the two of us have hosted many philanthropic events together each year primarily raising money for children who can’t otherwise afford classes at his mom’s school, the piven theatre workshop… its a pretty rewarding friendship…

as for me, if you have been following me on twitter, you know that i just left moscow yesterday & landed in st. petersburgh, soon to make my way through sweden, on my way to copenhagen to meet mrs. obama & my fellow chicago 2016 olympic committee members for the official 2016 olympic host announcement on oct 2nd where i am sure chicago will win! especially if everyone helps now…

chicago 2016 olympics with “cheers” george wendt

rockit ranch road to chicago 2016 announcement in copenhagen-moscow part 2


September 25th, 2009

Enjoy this video of us in Moscow- it’s pretty amazing- at least sort of informative?  Tell ya, if I wasn’t on my way to the big 2016 Olympic Host decision in Copenhagen on Oct 2nd, I probably would stay longer.  I can’t really sum up the experience right now, I don’t think anyone can really sum up Russia in a sentence having seen what we have seen in the last couple days… but here is a couple things that we did say….

 “one of the most physically beautiful societies ever” my partner Arturo

“@#*@(*&$)*_)*%@)@#()(@*#”  my partner brad

 “billy, you saying that Moscow needs a publicist is the comment of the trip” My buddy pat daley

 ““I really appreciate their history & humility… actually, I figured it out, so much beauty in Moscow- looks, fashion, design, décor,… like some European favs… but zero attitude, I like that”  -me

Off to st. Petersburg… then through Sweden… then on to watch the united states of America win the honor of hosting the 2016 summer Olympics when announced in Copenhagen on oct 2nd!!  Will keep you in the loop here- and more celebrity friends filming videos w/ me coming to support that dream- at least one a day- just make sure you are telling all your friends, coworkers, contacts, family,… to share these celebrity messages with the rest of the world so all know how great our country is and how ready we are to welcome guests from around the globe (and the 4.4billion watching us on tv) as host of the greatest sport, cultural, and friendship strengthening event ever!
