Critics can say what they want about, Keri Hilson. Like how talentLESS she is, how she's JUST another pretty face, or how she's too arrogant to sell records, but the numbers don't lie and "Miss Keri Babeee" showed out. Keri dropped her first album, "In a perfect world" this past Tuesday, with one day sales hittin' at about ummm...85-90k units sold, HELLO! You may not love her, you aint gotta like her, but you gotta respect the hustle.

Hilson made her small mark from sought after, talented writer to song bird after coming onto the scene with her first single, club banger, "The way i are" with producing music legend, Timberland in later of 2007. Smart move Keri. She then threw the illllllllest birthday party i had been to in 2007. ATL shawty! I can't even talk about it too deep...trust me it was just THAT party. BUT i will tell you, she had major talent rollin' through to show ya girl love that had many people asking the same ol, "Who she (this "one song" unknown singer) effin to bring out all these stars?". But such talk is nothing new in this critical industry. The celebs at Keri's "coming out" party were humble, not stuck in VIP all night but mingling with the fans and media, while Team Keri (Kudos always to Garner Circle PR!) set the whole affair up to resemble your favorite 1980's movie complete with McDonald's happy meals...(yes really), free shots of some tasty madness and gift bags for all guests with things like Hennessy in them. I love a star that's not stingy or at least has pure sponsor power pull. Ummm yeah...memories & good times...aaaaah.

Well Hilson has been on a small tour this week to promote her album across the states making a stop at home in Atlanta yesterday. She packed out clothing store, DTLR last night with a line down the ding dang (thanks Necee) block with fans wanting to get a piece of the tall beauty. Later that evening she had Music Business Politics' Hannh Kang set up club Opera ala Alice in Wonderland style as she partied it up with celeb friends, Polow Da Don (and his bevy of beckies...you will see), Richy Boy, power mover Shocka Zula (DTP), super producer Drumma Boy (doing BIG things & going out of the country in a few days), Fabulous (love him), Diamond (post Crime Mob), Lil Scrappy (newly DTP signed AND Diamond's boo), Jazze Pha and my favorite, T.I. (prayers & respect go out for his year & a day sentencing given today). There were others too but right now i don't feel like saying all the names so view the above lovely pictures taken from my friends over at the phenomenal BE Magazine and celebrity photographer Freddy O and see it you can "name that celeb"...or not. I'm still a lil salty that Keri had us waiting till ummm...almost 1 am to get pictures, etc. But i got over it. The DJ WAS HOTT, there were a couple performances, and the party inside was...aight. I just don't find pleasure in partying with a bunch of silly 21 year olds, who mostly took up the dance floor, these days. Besides my job was not to party but to capture. And i think i did just that. So after i did i was ghost. Ciao!

Team Keri! She is rockin' it. Good voice, great production. GET Keri's album here!

Thanks to, Tahira Wright of Branded PR, Nicole & Garner Circle PR and Hannah Kang of Music Business Politics for that last minute entry.

Jason Geter (Grand Hustle Homie!) Birthday Party at Lucky Food Lounge!

The hot boyz. Ow ow!

On Wednesday Jason Geter's 31st (I think) birthday party was held at Luckies Food Lounge, THE hot spot for celeb events.

Tip came out before heading home for curfew (but at least he gets to hang), Dro was showin' us all why he's, "The best thang smokin' " Keri Hilson brought the party, Hannah Kang (GM of Grand Hustle) showed up being a boss lady she is, and Fergie who is in Atlanta recording with Polow (the infamous track leaker!) hit the club up too. For more pictures and celeb guests (like Jeezy, Chingy, Rich Boy, and Mannie Fresh to name a few) in attendance check out Sandra Rose's website!

Keri Hilson likes it just the way it were...

If you are not able to see the attached Keri Hilson birthday video shot log onto www.FindEntertainmentNow.blogspot.com. Thanks!

Keri loves giving the peace sign

Ronnie...cool dude

It was a night to remember: side pony tails, ankle boots, bangles, door knockers, thick black square frames, big belts, one shoulder bearing jersey dresses, members only jackets, Rosana Arquette hair from "Desperately Seeking Susan", jerri curls glistening with "Soul Glow", thick gold LL Cool J/Run DMC chains, too much blush, tie dye, colorful tights, puffy prom skirts, too much pink, spandex for boys...all together tacky cool. These people took this ISH very serious, next time I'm pulling out the activator!

"Like totally OMG!" I kept expecting Micheal J. Fox to show up because I had been shifted "Back to the Future" for singer/esteemed song writer Keri Hilson's psychedelic 25th birthday party held at The View in Atlanta on Saturday night. And if you don't know, now you know, Keri Hilson has enough star power to bring out the hypest in Hip Hip royalty: Nicole Garner & team of The Garner Circle PR was directing things (GREAT JOB! Thanks for the invite!) Polo Da Don (Host), Drumma Boy (Producer...check out our exclusive interview on www.FindEntertainmentNow.com), Cee-Lo, Jazzy Pha (and he is the same in person as he is in videos...stupendous!), Nelly (Hellz yeah AND he performed "Grillz"!), Jeezy, Chamillionaire (such a low key/cool cat), Jlack, Bone Crusher (very nice dude), Chaka Zulu, AK the Razor Man (Grand Hustle/PSC shout out!), Jermaine Dupri, Jonta Austin, Diamond (formerly of Crime Mob), London (Kinky B's label), Jagged Edge, Bobby V, yall the 90's really were reached when the likes of Blaque came out and the one and only Ronnie Devoe (hasn't aged 1 bit) of BBD showed up and out! I got to do a little interview with Ronnie and found out that he and BBD would be touring all over the world next year! Get ready ladies! In addition he's been investing in real-estate (good man) and has other endeavors. Keep up with him at www.thedevoeteam.com. "Girl I must warn you...."!
The rich and famous didn't bother much with the upstairs VIP but stayed mingling it up and shoulder brushing with the commoners on dance floor in the large warehouse like set-up. Even with all the glowing star power in the house I did good. I didn't yell out in turrets syndrome fashion, "I see you on TV!" to any of the celebs who represented for the lady of the hour. So be proud of me.

The 1980's/90's Keri Hilson celebration featured alcoholic slushies, cheese burgers and apple pies, catered by McDonalds, ring pops, candy straws laced with the purest white powder...sugar! And goodie bags in Happy Meal boxes stuffed with a lil Hen(essy that it...but damn they forget to throw in the coke...coke the DRINK people!), a rubiks cube (who in the heezy is Rubik anyway??), and Keri lotion...how cute is that??!!

What I ADORE about Keri...first of all she is a SAGITTARIUS, (as Ryan Cameron from V-103 radio would scream) and if you didn't get the significance of that so am I...my bday is tomorrow! We fire gurls iz special! Okay back to Keri...she's way fun, great style, earthy, chill, silly, smart, gracious (after the party the rest of the food was donated to a mission by Keri...awwwww....gotta love a girl like that!) humble but yet home girl is a BOSS chick. She knows what she wants and what she's worth. She's got an album coming out in 2008, watch out for her. Because she's a writer and not in the public eye as much her name has not been circulated very heavily yet, but please believe she's ALL THAT.

All in all it was an INCREDIBLE night! The only major disappointment was nobody broke out into a "Vogue". Kidding.
