Jackie Warner & Reality Friends Rock out for Charity on a Sunday

Wow! A beautiful crowd of mixed West Hollywood awesomeness turned out for a rocking Sunday afternoon on Robertson. The event: Sunstyle Tanning, Jackie Warner (Bravo's Workout 'current) and Reality Cares hosting a charity mixer for Stoked Mentoring, a foundation that does exactly like what the name sounds.Hosts Suzanne and Nicole DeFosset close their eyes and dream of a Jackie Warner sandwich

Showing that reality does indeed care were American Gladiators Romeo "Mayhem" Williams and Don "Wolf" Yates, Nehemiah (Real World Austin '05), the goth couple from Amazing Race ('08), that Asian guy who got voted off SurivorAmazon First ('03). Most excited to see E! Gossip King Marc Malkin and Kevin Todd (That guy who is in the background of every scene of the The Hills '06-current)Doug Donahoe, Dr.Megan Donohue, Ben Russo (Entertainment Fusion Group), Jodi Thomas (Reality Casting Director), & Melissa Rappaport (RappAround PRC)

For those that like a dash of nightclub or Mondrian style with their tanning, Sunstyle Tanning flat out rocks. The place is huge, modern, sparkly, even has a corporate conference room if you want to call a meeting about your tan, a big warehouse event space in the back, and posh Robertson address. Sunset Tan, you may have your own reality show on E!, but this place isnt shoehorned in to a stripmall.

A DJ, free yogurt, cocktails, and lots and lots of waxed chests and bodies. Reality faces all over the place, many of them drinking Lotus Vodka Redbulls and gearing up for an after party at the also packed Abbey. Good thing the local AA meeting is right next door inside the Elks Lounge.

High five and congrats to DuetPR for taking care of us.

Congrats! Metal Skools Taps Gary Sharp as New Opening Act

The Queen tapped Prince Charles. Dr. Dre tapped Eminem, who tapped 50 Cent, who taps a lot of ass. TheCHIMP.net is exicted to announce that rock-mock cover band Metal Skool (Hole Patrol album'03, Kings of the Sunset Strip 'current) have tapped friend Gary Sharp (Syracuse '97) and his band Candygram for Mongo as their new audience fluffers.

L to R: Tony Shea -The Voice, Johnny D - The Guitar, Gary Sharp - The Drums, James Baker - The Bass, and Dan Cohen - The Guitar

Their debut opening performance might be the "tea time" opening slot of 9PM sharp on the regular most popular Monday night in LA, but that wont stop them from rocking a sound "that sounds like you're sitting in the Spearmint Rhino strip club" Gary says.TheCHIMP.net caught up with the latest celebrity to make a cameo at MetalSkool, Lil Jon. Yeahhh!

As if that's not enough, Candygram for Mongo also makes their network TV debut this week!

"We are getting our 1.6 seconds of fame in the opening scene of the Farrelly Bros sitcom, UNHITCHED on Sunday March 30th (Fox, check local listings). We play the house band in some knucklehead punk rock club."

Mazel Tov, Gary. Listen in over at their MySpace or their information superhighway homepage.

Audrina Gets Least Screen Time, Most Pricey Wardrobe

Audrina Patridge (Yorba Linda H.S. - CA '03) overcompensated for her 100% disappearance from the season premiere of MTV's"The Hills" last night (Mon 24 Mar) with the most expensive wardrobe at the premiere party.

As Marc Malkin reports over at E!'s Planet Gossip, she chose TheCHIMP.net BFF designers Nicole Khristine's tear drop earrings ($4000+).

I don't know a thing about sparkly metals, but we all know a good party when we see one.

Inside Perez Hilton's 30th Birthday Party - The Surprising Thing

Perez telling Spencer and Heidi he's "just doing a job".

Consider this the M.C. Escher post of gossip blogging.... giving coverage to the apotheosis of bloggers.The 2 most popular websites in one place at one time: TMZ founder/boss Harvey Levin joins Perez. The joint gravity opens a blackhole in the gossip universe.

The surprising bit about Perez Hilton's 30th birthday party at the Beverly Wilshire hotel Saturday night (22 Mar), came from the diverse spectrum of attendees: legit talent (Amanda Bynes), tabloid-drones (Spencer/Heidi), and even a 100% woman he has called "90% tranny"(Khloe Kardasian).

Amanda (4-peat winner of Nickelodeon's kid's choice award 2000-04, Hairspray '07) came out of the closet. She told TheCHIMP.net she's been a fan of Perez since day one, “I’m always on his site!” Despite turning 21 last year, Amanda partied late while drinking....Café Bustelo coffee.

Jerry O Connell (Stand By Me '84, NYU'95) joked about "KY" 's ubiquitous sponsorship throughout the event ... Perez shot back, “maybe you should take some home for Rebecca!”. This can't help.

The Pussy Cat Dolls gave a surprise performance. People drank, danced, and talked alot. Then they went home or to after hours parties.

Big ups to Ben Russo, Rembrandt Flores, & the EFG PR team for busting out a Saturday night event - a rarity outside of awards season.

Live on Scene: Backstage at MTV's "The Real World" 20th Anniversary Party and Show

What happens when you take 20 seasons worth of MTV's original reality stars and put them in a West Hollywood mansion for one night with lots of alcohol and cameras?

TheCHIMP.net was live on scene to see everything MTV will and won't air from backstage in its award show special airing Saturday March 29 (and repeating forever).

Tyree Balard (RW Denver '07), Teck Holmes (RW Hawaii '99, MTV VJ '99-'02) and host Jeffrey Ross
Comic Jeffrey Ross (Comedy Central Roast master for Pam Anderson, William Shatner, Shaq 'current) opened the night with a roast. “You all have one thing in common…obscurity.”

It was not well received. Dave
Burns (RW Seattle ’98, Las Vegas event producer ‘current) whipped a water bottle at his head. Trishelle Cannatella (RW Las Vegas '02, Dr. Steve O on USA 'current) threw a drink in Ross' face. The infamous David "Puck" Rainey (RW San Francisco '94) kicked him from behind in to the pool of the mansion. Not in a friendly way. He looked humiliated the rest of the night and the show stopped for 90 minutes.

Johnny Devenanzio (RW Key West '06) congratulates his castmate Svetlana Shusterman (RW Key West '06) on winning the award "All Time Hottest Female".

One of the more intelligent cast members who we really like (currently going for a Phd and teaching Barack Obama’s kids at an elite school in Chicago) told TheCHIMP.net “I didn’t even know what a roast was. I thought we would get here for a BBQ.”

Cowboy Jon Brennan (RW LA '93), Matt Kunitz (Producer RW '92-'95, '96-'99), and The Miz.

Mike "The Miz" Mizanin (RW NY2 '01) showed off his WWE wrestling title belt and let us know he is going to be in Wrestlemania at the end of the month.

A few unknown, wet behind the ears puppies came fresh out of shooting the yet to be aired 20th season (Hollywood). Want to see how these pre-American idol cultural icons look now? Check out the wireimage.

TV Guide Host Sells Out

Congrats to our friend Nikki Boyer (TLC's Perfect Proposal '03, TV Guide Red Carpet Host 'current) and her band The Spirit Theory. Were it not for a lucky wave from the doorman, this photo of their concert at Hollywood's M Bar Friday night (14 Mar) wouldn't exist. The show sold out early!

The front-woman closed with "Let's Get it On", by Marvin Gaye. No sighting of husband David Denman (Roy on the Office 'current)Yes, this photo is small, blurry, and stolen from the internets.

Amber Alert: Putter Abducted by Hall of Fame NFL'er

A CHIMP.net World Exclusive

The Hollywood Entertainment Industry's TM Casey Brumels called in this Amber Alert moments ago (Sat 15 Mar, 230 PM).Jim Brown (Cleveland Browns '57-'65, Football Hall of Fame '71, Playgirl Magazine Centerfold '74, LA Gang counselor 'current) might have stolen a putter from another golfer at the Robinson's Ranch Golf Course in "one of the nation's safest cities" Santa Clarita, CA. Software salesman Ray Diamond has been ID'd as the victim.

Brumels says: We just played golf in Santa Clarita. Jim Brown was in the group behind us and he stole my friends putter. Went up to Jim on a later hole and asked if he had found his CLUB and Jim said, "What putter, we didn't find a putter".
Obviously guilty.

We are awaiting analysis from Socal Assistant District Attorney Dan Feldman.

Jason Davis Mocks Drug Use while Facing Drug Charges

You (maybe) know Jason Davis for being the fatter, greasier, older, more likely to be smoking or sweating brother of the guy who "drunkenly nepalmed" Lohan with a carpet bombing of "firecrotch" slurs. When he got popped for cocaine posession 10 days ago (Friday, 29 Feb) it was kinda not surprising and mildly newsy.


We ran in to Jason out celebrating the new hotspot Beso on the same day he was formally charged. He told us he launched a new TV channel, EGO TV. Being curious, a few clicks led to this launch clip in which he makes 4 references to "8 balls" and "using 8 balls" to stay skinny in this short clip. He also chain smokes while walking in fashion show.

Without a law school degree, not sure if this will help his case much.

Saturday Night Beer the Playboy Mansion

A celebration was in store for Casey Brumels (Michigan State '98) after a week that saw his new Destination Truth show debut to highest ratings ever and likely sell a new spin off to VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" that involves dropout famous faces getting their education back on track.What better way to get our B.A.C. back on track than at the Playboy Mansion? ...and for a Beer Party sponsored by everyone's parking lot favorite, Milwaukee's Best Light.
We learned that corporate parties at the mansion sell like cruise packages...you can "order naked/topless/bottomless/spraypainted girls" in any denomination, , and pick the time for the spontaneous "naked swimming". Meanwhile, dudes in dockers stare and take 'show off' photos for the golf course back home". Milwaukee's Best's paperwork got screwed up and got delivered the "2 topless girls standing in pool uncomfortably". It had all the spontaneity of dinner theatre.
One old time playmate friend of ours snitched "the naked girls are from some agency, they would never...never be in the magazine".

For the most hornball fun you can ever have with Milwaukee's Best online, go here. (Trust me, its a fun timewaster, even for girls!)
