Paul Wharton and Omarosa at the CBCF ALC Authors Pavilion

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference festivities have been in high gear all week long. Along with forums, round tables and braintrust about policy and legislation, the CBCF has an Authors’ Pavilion, where celebrity and well known authors can stop by, promote their books and DVDs, and sign copies. One of my favorite people ever, the fabulous Paul Wharton signed copies of his DVD “How Models Are Made” while Omarosa signed copies of her book.

Be sure to watch Paul on Bravo’s Real Housewives of DC, Thursdays at 9pm EST!

The Real Housewives of D.C. Cast

The next installment of the ever-popular Bravo franchise “Real Housewives” is here. And that’s right, unless you’ve been living under a rock you know that “Real Housewives of D.C.” is set to air tonight!

Of course a whole host of parties are planned to view the silver screen spectacular, but only two parties are actually official. The only official viewing party taking place will be held at The Madison Hotel (1177 15th St. NW) in Washington, DC. But sorry A-Listers, don’t even think about crashing this affair. It’s invite only, 250 folks, specifically for the cast’s family

and friends.

Afterward there will be an after party hosted by cast member Mary Amons at Buddha Bar (455 Massachusetts Ave NW) in DC. I went to boarding school with her daughter Lolly, so it should be interesting to see her role in the season.

Call me bias but I’m predicting that 6th housewife Paul Wharton will definitely steal the show the entire season. He’s the most truly fabulous (if we’re being honest) out of the castmates, and is constantly making high-profile moves in the entertainment, fashion, and humanitarian worlds.

Guess you’ll have to watch to find out! “Real Housewives of D.C.” airs on Bravo tonight, 9pm EST.

Tigerlily Foundation's DIVA Night Out

There’s no cause to support more worthy than saving lives, and fostering awareness. That’s exactly what Tigerlily Foundation’s mission is, the education women and men, young and old on the facts and prevention of breast cancer. In that effort, Tigerlily Foundation is hosting its 2nd Annual DIVA Night Out.

The event is a silent auction and celebration of the foundations efforts to raise awareness. Join myself, Paul Wharton and Cynne Simpson as we host the wonderful night!

Misa Hylton, Paul Wharton and India on 106 & Park

This year’s Rip the Runway was taped this past weekend in NYC at the Hammerstein Ballroom. I headed that way for the week (the reason for my A-List absence) to work on a whirlwind of fabulous fashion, scheduling & production.

 Before models walked the catwalk we held an amatuer modeling contest on 106 and Park; and one of my besties, and DC’s own socialite Paul Wharton participated as a judge along with celebrity stylist Misa Hylton and model India.

According to some rather reliable sources, the Real Housewives of DC cast wrap party is happening right now at Brass Monkey (2317 18th St. NW) in Adams Morgan.

Rumored (or not so much) cast members Paul Wharton *smile*, Mary Amons and someone by the last name of Salahi are all in attendance.

Now it’s not necessarily a reason to run and grab your camera for a photo op- but a little inside info to keep you in the know, like always.

BET WH Correspondent Andre Showell, Angel Elliott and Guest

After the BET Honors took place Saturday night, we threw an after party at the Reagan Building (1300 Pennsylvania Ave.) in true BET style, complete with glitz, glamour and a-listers.

The event was decadently decorated by the illustrious Andre Wells and team, and DJ D-Nice was on the 1’s and 2’s. Also in the building was the BET Honors host Gabrielle Union, CW’s Paul Wharton, Trey Songz (who briefly serenaded the ladies at the DJ booth) and Redskins #11 Devin Thomas.

Earlier this week the perpetually fabulous celebrity fashion guru & DC socialite Paul Wharton ushered in the Christmas season with legendary Grammy Award winning singer Patti LaBelle, at Macy’s in Washington DC. The duo joined Santa in unveiling Macy’s old-fashioned Christmas display window.

Lots of fans came out catch a glimpse of the “Lady Marmalade” diva herself; or get a modeling contract from the well connected agency owner Paul Wharton.

Paul is wearing an a heather grey egyptian silk suit by Alfani, of course available at Macy’s. I have it on good authority that the nation will be seeing a lot more of him soon
