Last night Caitlyn Jenner stepped out to introduce Boy George and the Culture Club at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA. Although I am sorry I missed seeing the band, my friend super publicist, Ken Phillips was there and snapped this photo of Caitlyn doing the honor. I must say Caitlyn is way more outgoing and comfortable as her true self than she ever was prior to that.

for Special "Cecilia and the Satellite" Performed on Toy Instruments
"Cecilia" Top 10 at Alternative Radio This Week, Climbing at Hot AC Format
Gorgeous New Live Session Featuring "Cecilia" and "High Dive" Available Now on The Wild Honey Pie
The first time I have heard of this artist was in an E-mail today from his publicist, I found him unique, talented and interesting. Thus I am foisting him on you, enjoy!
Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness has shared a new video for his chart topping hit, "Cecilia and the Satellite" today. The clip features a re-recorded version of "Cecilia" created entirely with toy instruments. Andrew re-arranged the song and recorded and filmed it in a single day. He said of the experience:
"What do you do when you have a spare afternoon in Nashville? Find a studio, a camera, a box of toy instruments and see if you can't make something cool happen. I had no idea what I was getting into when I showed up for this experiment, but I'm so pleased with how it all turned out."
"Cecilia" is also now Top 10 at Alternative radio and Top 15 at Triple A radio. The song is gaining at Hot AC and on course to top the charts soon.
The Wild Honey Pie also released their Buzzsession with Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness this week. The sessions highlight Andrew's glorious wail and deft piano-playing on a gorgeous grand piano at Douglass Street Records.
McMahon's self-titled album, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, is out now on Vanguard Records. The disc had smashing Top 5 debuts upon release where it was #2 on the iTunes Alt Albums chart, #3 on the Billboard Indie Albums chart, #4 on the Billboard Alt Albums chart and #5 on the Billboard Rock Albums chart.

Hotter Than Georgia Asphalt: Joe Manganiello & Sofia Vergara
"But when the thermometer goes way up, And the weather is sizzling hot Mr Pants, for romance, is not" - Too Darn Hot, Cole Porter
It's seems that America's favorite deceased Werewolf True Blood's Joe Manganiello and Colombian spitfire Sofia Vergara of Modern Family are dating. From the sounds of things they met at a White House correspondence dinner and are now one of the hottest couples to ever walk the planet. Oh Yeah! Wow, this is a match made in publicist heaven. Best Wishes to the both of you. Entertain Me. Joe: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0542133/?ref_=fn_nm_nm_1
Hey, did you know the best acapella group in the world, Pentatonix is on tour?!
Well they are and their first stop on the 2013 trail was The Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA, and I of course as someone who covers them and more importantly as a fan was there thanks to their publicist and all around awesome guy, Ken Phillips.
My friend and fellow PTX fan Danny Bozarth was my plus 1 for the evening. Since the kick off at "The Fonda" Pentatonix has been playing to sold out crowds. Translation: if they are playing in a city near you and you want to see them live, get your tickets and get them now...!
Is there anything more that I can say about this amazing group that has't been said already? If there is, I'll save it for another time and let this exclusive live footage, shot by Danny, from the show speak for itself...PTX rules!
Hey all you Durbinators out there, I caught JD live at Universal City Walk last night and he rocked da house!
Opening with "Stand Up" from his current album "Memories of a Beautiful Disaster" James was in top form as always (does he ever give a bad performance)???
Rockin' It
I was in the press pit, so I took photos for everyone to see, including one of me and James back stage in the green room before the show where I got to hang with him, his son Hunter and his adorable wife Heidi - not to mention my friend and Mr. Durbin's publicist extraordinaire Ken Phillips.
There really isn't much more to say than I had a great time as you can see from the photographic evidence from last nights show - Enjoy!
James and Myself Backstage Before The Show
And one more live shot to leave you begging for more...oh yeah!
James Rulz!
