The Metrolina Theatre Association (MTA) Awards…better than the VMAs
Spirit Square was the place to be last night; a red carpet led to a reception that led to the McGlohon Theatre, which was packed with members of the local theater community honoring and toasting to their craft.
I had the privilege of presenting several awards alongside the Observer’s Paid to Party Sarah Aarthun.

QC After Dark Nikko - now serving models
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Next week is Charlotte Fashion Week, but there’s fashion every week in Charlotte, thanks to Carolina Fashion TV’s Fashion Wednesdays at Nikko.
Sure, Charlotte isn’t N.Y.C., L.A., or even Miami or Chicago – but we’re just as trendy, fashion forward, cultural… and the G.R.I.T.S (girls raised in the south) are just as hot! Fashion Wednesdays are further evidence of that.
Vida, the Tyra Banks of Charlotte has gone from model to model maker – she is the one behind Carolina Fashion TV.
I arrive to a completely packed Nikko (even the valet was full) and she just handed me the microphone and told me to use it.
I could barely walk, let alone do my little turn on the catwalk, so the first thing I did was introduce the Lotus fashion show and my own fashion – I was wearing Lotus of course… paired with an Ace bandage, which might be the hottest new fall trend.

Charlotte's Benji Hughes keeps getting the love. He won a few "Best of" awards in the current edition, and his new CD, A Love Extreme, has been given four stars by Rolling Stone.

News Madonna causes controversy in Rome
Posted By Anita Overcash on Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 4:03 PM
Currently on her Sticky & Sweet Tour, Pop star legend, Madonna visited Rome on Sat., Sept. 6 for a performance that left a bit of controversy brewing. Already know for her provacativeness and the ability to piss off the Vatican (like she did in her the '89 music video for "Like a Prayer" and with multiple stagings and props at various shows), Madonna did it again without a care. This time while playing in Rome, she dedicated "Like a Virgin" to the pope.
Read more at Reuters or watch the video below and hear what she said.
