Skinnygirl & Bethenny visit the Horse Race!

Yesterday (6/22/13) I went to Monmouth Park Racetrack to meet Bethenny Frankel & drink some Skinnygirl Cocktails, and it was another amazing experience for me with B!
I was first in line to get my picture taken with the Original Skinnygirl & talk show host, and Bethenny recognized me immediately & greeted me so warmly.


B is so sweet and asked me how I was doing, then we chatted quickly about the talk show. She also mentioned that she got slammed on Twitter for her Paula Deen/racism-related tweets, and we had a "WTF? It's only Twitter ... and it's NEWS!" moment, but then we realized I was holding up the line & I said I'd see her soon! :) 


I just love Bethenny! She was so gracious, so lovely, so friendly,
and so sexy in her signature red dress!


Check out my exclusive pictures :)

Revel presents BEYONCE...

On Friday night, May 25th, I was in the audience for Beyonce's very first post-baby concert in Atlantic City, NJ and it was literally the BEST concert I've ever been to in my entire life. And that includes seeing Queen Bey front row in August.

The amount of energy Beyonce had was incredible and her voice sounded stronger and better than ever. She is SO talented and performed ALL of her hits and then some!


The power of her voice was out of control, and Beyonce gave it her all and sang from her soul the entire night. She barely left the stage and sang for almost 2 hours straight in front of a sold-out audience of 5,050 people in Revel's Ovation Hall.








From the first song, "End Of Time," Beyonce brought such unbelievable power and excitement to each and every performance. "Love On Top" blew me through the roof and "Baby Boy" and "Crazy In Love" were thrilling throwbacks. Beyonce danced sexily during "Dance For You" and got her rock&roll on for "I Care." The 4 bonus track "Schoolin Life" was a great surprise, and Beyonce sitting on top of a piano singing "1+1" was soulful and sweet. 


Only at her exclusive Live at Wynn shows in Vegas did Beyonce ever perform "Resentment," but she brought back her "favorite song" for this 4-night engagement in AC.


I loved that Beyonce incorporated the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" into "If I Were A Boy," and it was really great to hear Bey take on Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor."


"Flaws & All" was phenomenal and dedicated to her fans, and Beyonce really had a good time with "Countdown" and "Run The World (Girls)."


I about lost my shit when Beyonce performed "Why Don't You Love Me?" and then I REALLY lost my mind when Bey covered part of the late Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" with "Halo"... ah!


Bey sang hit after hit, and I'm shocked to say that I am HAPPY she only did 1 Destiny's Child snippet ("Jumpin, Jumpin"). I looooove DC but that medley always takes up so much time, so I was happy that no time was wasted on the old classics.


The audience was on their feet the whole night and the energy was through the roof!

REVIEW: Bethenny's Skinnygirl Night Out

Last Thursday, January 20th, I went to Bethenny's Skinnygirl Night Out live tour in Red Bank, NJ. Bethenny was on fire and exactly like she is on her Bravo show Bethenny Getting Married? - funny, witty, and smart as a whip!

Bethenny imparted her wisdom of food, books, booze, and baby Bryn on the crowd of mostly women. When B asked if there were any straight single men in the crowd, I happily shouted "Yo! Bethenny!" She asked me my name and said I was "the smartest man" to go to a place filled with so many single girls. She continued to call me out throughout the show - I was in heaven!

But I really went to heaven when the show was over and it was time for the meet & greet. I got major facetime with Ms. Frankel and loved every second of it!

I told Bethenny that I was "single straight Mike" from the show and that I was also @OhHellYes on Twitter. I was so happy to meet her and she greeted me so very warmly, saying I was her "biggest fan" and how great it was that I was called out during the show so many times. I was beyond elated!

It was an awesome night and I was so happy to enjoy it with my best friend Milli and my new BFF Bethenny ;)
