The guest list was certainly impressive. I couldn’t possibly give you photos of all the celebrities that showed up, but some of the more notable ones were Kim Kardashian, Russell Simmons, Spike Lee, Regina King, Robin Thicke, Nelly, Martha Stewart (Who knew Martha was a hip-hop fan?), Al Sharpton, Herbie Hancock and Bono.

The first season of Scream Queens showed us a group of aspiring actresses who wanted to be in the Saw VI movie. Talented Tanedra Howard won the season and had her breakout role in the film. She impressed everyone so much, she will be appearing in other Lionsgate films in the future. So the VH1 series successfully launched her career!

We just got word today that the second season of Scream Queens will begin to air in early 2010 and will involve a new group of actresses, vying for a part in the upcoming movie Saw 3-D. Word has it that there’s a new mentor for the group too, Jamie King. There’s no telling what challenges the women have in store for them, but I’m betting that none of it will be pretty! I’ll keep you posted about the new season as news is released.

Recently, I was thrilled to go to see the last bits of film of the late music legend Michael Jackson. The movie This Is It captured the essence of his talent during the rehearsals for the planned tour he never got to do. I loved the movie then, and know that I’ll watch it over and over in the future.

Now, there’s great news for all of us who loved This Is It. The rights to air the film on VH1 and other MTV networks has been finalized. There are no specific dates announced for the airing of the film, but I’ll elt you know as dates are announced. Here’s a bit of the press release about the film:

The critically acclaimed and commercially successful film becomes available to MTV Networks in 2011, and continuing through the entire six-year network window. The deal includes all domestic channels under the MTV Networks umbrella, including MTV, VH1, VH1 Classic and Palladia and rounds out the music networks’ commitment to celebrating the life and legacy of Michael Jackson. The arrangement also extends to Viacom’s BET Networks, including its newest channel, Centric. Channels and premiere dates will be announced at a later time.

“The film is a true testament to Michael’s musical genius, passion and commitment to his craft,” said Van Toffler, President of the MTV Networks Music Group. “Michael Jackson has always been inextricably tied to our viewers as they witnessed his evolution from a talented performer to a global icon who redefined music. Now, with this film, we can help give his fans a chance to see his final performance.”

Even though we’ll never get to see the actual tour performances we had looked forward to, we can still see the genius that was Michael Jackson as he prepared. I’m so glad they captured it all on film!

On this week’s episode of Sex Rehab, the patients find out how difficult the treatment program can become. Not only are they starting to get on each other’s nerves, but one of them is doing everything she can to get out of actually facing her issues.

Kari Ann continues to act out and refuses to become part of the regular routine of the rehab center. She angers the other patients when she expects special treatment all the time and she even sent a letter that was very combative to Kendra. Now, Kendra is wondering if she should stay in rehab because she doesn’t want to feel attacked by Kari Ann.

The women were also asked to take off their makeup so they could deal with the “masks” they’ve been hiding behind. I also found myself in tears when Duncan was telling of his childhood abuse. It had to take real courage to share that!

It was a very interesting episode, but I wish they had not included someone like Kari Ann in the mix so we could actually learn more about what the patients go through…or, maybe that’s a real part of what they go through. I guess we’ll have to keep watching to find that out.

I do like this show because not only is it helping us learn about a problem we (or at least I) know little about, but hopefully, it can help some people find out that they are not alone and that they can get better.

What did you think of this week’s episode of Sex Rehab? Will you continue to watch? Let us know!

She takes a big picture of all the girls from this season and starts dissing them and marking them off, one by one. She told Ray J that she likes him and doesn’t want to see him with just any hooker! LOL! I love this! Check it out:

Recently, we spotted Indashio on the red carpet at the Really Awards Show. It made me wonder what he’s been up to since he son the VH1 series Glam God. So I was thrilled when I got the chance to ask him some questions about that.

Indashio is apparently doing very well. He has a spin-off reality show of his own in the works, he has several of his own fashion lines out and he’s become very successful! Here’s his official web site where you can see his new line and some of the magazine covers he’s done. There are also some other places he tells us in the interview where you can follow him.

Indashio is a completely original, creative and positive person. And his personality comes across in a big way in the interview:

Q: Looking back on your reality TV experience on Glam God, was it everything you expected it to be? Were there a lot of surprises in the experience for you?

Indashio: Yes! looking back a year later it was the most amazing experience not that many people get to experience that experience. Living with different people that all have a passion for fashion was so great! After the show .,.. I had GLAM GOD withdrawal… I was like…whats the next challenge! It has been great for my brand as well giving me the opportunity to see the world.

Q: What is the lovely Vivica A. Fox like in person?

Indashio: Vivica is a complete professional. I grew up watching her in my favorite movies like SET IT OFF and in Two Can Play That Game!

Q: How has your life changed since winning the show?

Indashio: The show enhanced my already amazing life. It had given me nationwide exposure. It changed my zipcode and bank account! It has made me even more motivated for sucess.

Q: What celebrities do you style regularly?

Indashio: I don’t really style any one regulary. It’s usually for an editorial, event or magazine cover.

Q: What tips can you give our readers about styling for themselves? (Most of us can’t afford a professional stylist to help us, even if we desperately need you!)

Indashio: Don’t be “scurred”!! Be over the top! GGet noticed and wear what you always dreamed of! You only live once, so look good doing it. When you feel good, you look good, so wear what you are comfortable with and what make you YOU!

Q: What new goals do you have since winning Glam God?

[Photo: © 2009 Indashio]

Indashio: I am always looking for new goals. My main ones right now are to open a store, a hotel, write a book, launch my Indashio Lip Tar by OCCMAKEUP.COM and continue to travel the world, inspiring others and giving back every way I can.

Q: Would you consider doing another reality show in the future? If so, which one would you most like to do?

Indashio: No. The only other reality show I would do is my own . My spin-off show is in development as we speak.

What i love about reality TV is that you’re able to share and tell your story! I want to tell my story to inspire others to be their best and to believe and think BIG!

Q: What are you most proud of in your career these days?

Indashio: Every time I get a copy of a magazine that I worked on and I see my work in there. To see it come alive. That, to me is so rewarding.

Q: Please catch us up on your life as a professional stylist.

Indashio: The truth is, after the show I got to hollywood and hated styling!!! I hated pulling clothes, ironing them, keeping track of them, returning them, dealing with magazines, agents, assistants, showrooms. It became really draining to my creative energy. I started to hate it! Maybe I was burned out from all the stuff I did prior to the show to get me where I am now. I lost my passion. I got it and I got over it …It wasnt enough!

So I left my agency ARTISTS by Timothy Priano and I focoused on my brand INDASHIO and my JET SET Collection and my New York Fashion Week Show and thats what I am doing. Creating beautiful clothes and sharing my vision at my over-the-top events around the world.

Q: What advice could you give to other young people who want to do styling for a living?

Indashio: Be posivite every second of your life! Have faith and BELIEVE! You will never fail if you never give up!

Q: If you had it to do all over again, would there be anything you would do differently?

Indashio: No, because I lived it up!!! And I’ll continue to live it up. Everything happens for a reason, so you have to have faith and believe!

Q: Are you on Twitter, Facebook or anywhere else we can follow you?

Indashio: Yes, I’m Indashio Inspires on Facebook and twitter.com/indashio although I dont really twitter much.

Q: Will you please update us from time to time on what you are up to?

Indashio: Of course!!!

A lot of people are happy that Dr. Drew Pinsky likes football. On Friday, he attended a high school football game when one of the players was injured. The young man, Jackson Allan, fell into a coma and stopped breathing, but Dr. Drew was there to handle things. He performed CPR until medical personnel arrived to take Allan to the hospital. Dr. Drew saved his life!!

Allan had to have surgery to relieve pressure on his brain from internal bleeding. He no doubt wouldn’t have made it without Dr. Drew. The head of the school had this to say:

“We are especially grateful for the heroic efforts of Dr. Pinsky and prompt care and attention of Dr. Lewis, a faculty member and emergency room doctor at Harbor Medical. Together with the emergency medical personnel, they made all the difference in Jackson’s progress.”

Dr. Drew is an amazing man…he helps people in so many ways. He’s a true hero!
