Television star Alison Mau has been named as the MC of an annual lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community fundraiser – and says she is “delighted” to be involved.
the Gay Auckland Business Association’s GABA Charitable Trust Gold Charity Auction will be held on November 6, to raise money for health, welfare and support services that benefit the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
OU-Texas in Dallas, the Tulsa State fair, Art on Main in Jenks, and Oklahoma State hosting Kansas. Just some of the things to do in the Tulsa and surrounding area. OK, the Oklahoma-Texas battle isn’t in the surrounding area but thousands of Okies will invade big D this weekend for that game. In our quest to make sure you have plenty on your plate this weekend, we have put together this page of suggestions, links, and possibilities. Also check for all the notes from Tasha as well. Before you leave, vote in our poll and if your answer is “other,” please let us know in the comments section what that “other” thing is. Enjoy!
.The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival returns to Golden Gate Park this weekend, kicking off Thursday with the annual MC Hammer educational program. I’ve missed it for the past many years but am thinking of heading out there to check it out. The only problem is, my kid is in kindergarten now and it’s probably not so easy to pull her out of class for concerts. Hmm, is it weird to go to the children’s show by yourself? I mean, it’s MC Hammer!
Platinum-selling recording artist Rick Ross has transformed his lyrical love of chicken wings into the first Memphis location of Wingstop, which is now open at 7706 Winchester.
Ross first rapped about Wingstop on his hit single “MC Hammer,” expressing his love for the chain’s lemon pepper-flavored wings. and now he’s working with an operating partner to bring the Richardson, Texas-based franchise to Memphis.
A few tech startups out there are banking on Hollywood celebrities to make them a blockbuster hit.

MC Hammer, the Oakland bred ’90s pop star and early Twitter adopter, took to tweeting on Saturday night after his performance at the KBLX Stone Soul II concert in Concord:
What happens when an Iraq war veteran turned soap star, a transgendered child of Cher, an Italian model ex-girlfriend of George Clooney, a TV show host/former prosecutor, and another pointless Kardashian stroll onto a newly-raised dance floor? Season 9,000 of Dancing with the Stars, that’s what! Okay, I might be exaggerating just a tad on the seasons there. I can’t help it. Sometimes it feels as if this show is on 5 times per year. In reality, it is season 13 of this classic glittery cheesefest, and I couldn’t be happier to see it again. right off the bat, it is obvious that this season will be high on entertainment, emotion, and a cast that is a hilarious combination of strange, endearing, and oddly inspirational. Cue up that catchy theme music – here we go! (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo …doot doot doot doo doot!)
The second City National Touring Company earned loud applause and high praise from audience members for its performance on Friday at Hinsdale South High School.
Burr Ridge resident Juzer Chinwalla attended the show with his wife, Vandana, and his daughter, Anisha, who is a junior at Hinsdale South High School.

Rick Ross loves to mention all the foods and drinks he enjoys devouring in his music. Who could ever forget the epic line, “she thinking Phillipe’s, I’m thinking Wingstop,” the Bawse spit on “MC Hammer”? or when Rozay said, “Used to run the street–young nigga, bare feet/Now I’m in the suites and I’m eatin’ crab meats,” on “Mafia Music.” being that the Maybach Music Group leader has a penchant for food, XXL decided to help him go into the business with his own restaurant. welcome to Chez Rozay. come in, have a seat and keep the chopper in the car. these delicious items are sure to make patrons say, “hunngh!” after the meal.—XXL Staff

IN these racially and culturally sensitive times, you have to watch what you say.
And fair enough, too.
I like a good trend. It keeps me in step with the masses and gives me common ground at the office water cooler. That’s why I’m a little sad to let go of “winning” as my catchphrase du jour. Sure, it was hot three months ago, but now that the zealot’s gleam has faded from Charlie Sheen’s glassy eyes, I’m left with the existential question: what do I do with the stale catchphrases, my MC Hammer pants, my jelly shoes and all the left over odds-and-ends of trends past?
