Hanging Out With Emmi

Actor and Host, Emmi Grullon has been out and about town catching up with some pretty cool people. What’s even better is that his catch-up sessions with friends and others is all caught on tape for everyone to view.

After hearing about Emmi’s trips about town with people such as Latin singing group, Tha Heights and Actor, Jamil Mena I wanted to take the opportunity and chat with the social man of the hour. I was lucky enough to catch up with Emmi Friday afternoon as he wrapped a taping session with Sean John model, Miguel Perdomo. The “Hanging Out With Emmi” episode with Miguel has since been released and can be viewed below. Maybe someone can help me figure out who the girl the guys were checking out was…

EXO TV’s “Hanging Out With Emmi” host, Emmi Grullon, takes it back to New York City’s park scene in his interview at Bryant Park, with Dominican fashion model, Miguel Perdomo, just days before New York Fashion Week.

The above video is the 4th episode of the Hanging With Emmi Show, which was recently picked up by EXO TV, a division of EXO Magazine. The show will be premiering on a weekly basis, so stay tuned to see who Emmi is hanging with from week to week.

Actor VJ Emmi Grullon

Since holding a small role in the Denzel Washington movie, Manchurian Candidate, the Dominican Republic native has been making a name for himself as an actor. He has since appeared in Nick and Noora’s Musical Playlist along with booking several modeling and hosting jobs in the area.

While speaking with Emmi, I was impressed by the amount of creative involvement he holds in the directing and producing of his segments. Although a new project for the actor/host, I see plenty of potential in his project and will be looking out for more showcases of the VIP lifestyle captured through Emmi’s perspective.

Keep them coming E!

Landon Dias Announces Candidacy For City Council of Harlem

Landon Dias, son of Larry Dias and current cast member of BET Network’s newest reality series “Harlem Heights” announced on Thursday that he will be running for City Council of Harlem. The young leader made the announcement at 17 Below, located in Harlem (2163 Fredrick Douglas Blvd).

27 year old Landon appears to be following in the footsteps of his father, Larry Dias, who is a well known Community Leader in Harlem. He serves as a consultant for Harlem Congregations For Community Improvement, Inc. (HCCI), where he works with the Construction Opportunities Program, he helps people obtain their GED, learn construction skills and get jobs. He is also the president of the Uptown Democratic Club, where he started the organization’s youth division, along with other community activities.

I think Landon is someone to keep an eye out for. Wishing him all the best!

Gossip Girl Gets Cozy With Old Navy “Supermodelquin”

Michelle Trachenberg from Gossip Girl and Olivia Palermo from The City came out to party with Old Navy at 1OAK on Tuesday to help the chain store celebrate the debut of “supermodelquins“.

The two actresses were in the building celebrating the launch of Old Navy’s new advertising campaign featuring supermodelquins….supermodels turned mannequins. This advertising campaign is an attempt to help boost sales over at The Gap subsidiary which has been experiencing a decline in sales…but who hasn’t? That is the question.

BET Networks Premieres Harlem Heights at The Apollo Theater

BET Networks has another scripted reality show, Harlem Heights. The show premiered on Monday, March 2nd and to celebrate BET held a showing at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.

The show’s cast consists of a group of young African American professionals living and styling in Harlem, NYC. I was very surprised to see Jessica on the show. She is the girl with the big curly hair. I have seen her out and about NYC for the last few months hanging with a cool NYC social I like to call my big bro but had no idea she was in the show. Kudos to you Jessica.

Although the show is extremely scripted, it is good to see a group of young black professionals repping Harlem. I am excited to see what is to come of the next few episodes…I have a feeling that it will be a lot of drama.

Five Years Of Fashion With Indashio and The Fashion Reporter

INDASHIO, better known for being on VH1′s “Glam God”, celebrated 5 years in fashion Friday night at The Dream Hotel.

Just five short years ago at the tender age of 19, INDASHIO stormed the gates of New York Fashion Week with nothing but an insatiable passion for fashion and a penchant for sketching outrageously bare-all, glamour-puss, ultra-femme designs. A minute later he showed his first collection at New York Fashion Week and he was on his way! Ten fashion seasons later, with standing room only shows at Versace Mansion, Commerce Bank New York Fashion Week, Los Angeles, Hawaii and Jamaica fashion events, features on MTV’s 8th and Ocean, Made, and the famously “disappeared” evening gown. INDASHIO says “Thank You!”

The designer, along with THE FASHION REPORTER, a virtual online magazine for all things fashion, hosted an appreciation party and fashion soiree for New York Fashion Week, celebrating his FIVE YEARS IN FASHION while promoting a fashionably fit message on wearing the clothes and not letting the clothes wear you along with strategic partners including American Heart Association, Pom Wonderful and Equinox Fitness.

The pre-show at The Samsung Experience inside the Time Warner Center Building, featured some of INDASHIO’s most infamous designs throughout the seasons, as well as a tribute to his “IT” girls who include Vanessa Carlton, Nicky Hilton, Theodora Richards, Kim Kardashian, and Vivica A. Fox.

Nole Marin Celebrates Premiere of ABC’s “True Beauty”

Nole Marin, best know for his time as a judge on Tyra Bank’s “America’s Next Top Model” hosted a screening and premiere party in New York for his new show, “True Beauty”. You can catch Nole Marin, Vanessa Minillo, and the beautiful cast of “True Beauty” on ABC every Monday night at 10pm.

Me and some guy

The private event was held at Nikki Beach, New York, where industry insiders, socials, friends and family of Nole, and future fans of the show were in attendance to watch the premiere of the show. The show is about 10 individuals competing to win the title of most beautiful, but little do they know that there is a twist….the competition is not ultimately based on physical beauty but based also on inner beauty. Each week a beauty will be eliminated, and only at elimination will they be shown the “ugly” which got then eliminated. All in all, I think it will be a great show to watch! It has all the essentials for a great reality show: drama, beautiful people, set ups for failure, and a final twist ! My only conflict is that the show is scheduled during the same time as MTV’s “The City” and “Daddy’s Girls”. My DVR will definitely be put to use this season.
