BINGO-BOY DOES IT "DOGGIE STYLE!"


PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support) in Los Angeles recently hosted an event up at The Gene Autry Museum and invited all the dogs! Tons of people showed up with their pooches and picnicked on the lawn until dark when they screened doggie movies! Very fun idea and the event was packed with canines leading their owners around. Bingo-boy did not bring his dogs- they prefer not to socialize with other dogs- but he did take some shots of pooches that you may enjoy...



Dude looks like a lady!



A face that could break your heart. "Please! Just one more Liva-snap! Please!"



Dogs with yellow bandanas were also up for adoption. I just know someone snapped up this big hearted fella. Our friends from The Bill Foundation were there and I am sure they join me in telling you- ADOPT A DOG!



"I can't believe I ate an entire pot roast. And a bag of Funyuns. And also the entire bowl of complimentary Flava-snacks at that the "Doggie Dress-up" booth (that was disturbing). I have never been this full. Ever. I don't think I'll ever eat again.....
Hey, is that a half-digested Milkbone! It's mine!"



This little beauty belongs to Bingo-boy's friend Tiger Lily. Her name is Ali and she is modeling the latest in faux-mink jackets from Licker and Licker of Beverly HIlls. Don't hate her because she's beautiful...

BINGO WITH BRUCE VILANCH & A HOT HAIRDRESSER

On Wednesday night, June 21, our 7 pm show benefited The Susan G. Komin Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk. Our special ballcalling guests for the evening were CaCee Cobb (featured on the Jessica Simpson show "Newlyweds") and Ken Paves- salon owner and "stylist to the stars." Us Magazine recently called Ken "the hottest Hollywood stylist in the business!" Ken donated a few makeovers as auction items and really helped the charity make some money.

Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb called the bingo games together.

















Our 9 pm show benefited The Celebration Theater and began with a kick-ass song from their new show. Then Mr. Bruce Vilanch took the stage and showed us why he is one of the highest paid comedy writers in the business. When Bingo-boy asked him if he ever dreamed that he and John Travolta would be going out for the same roles (Bruce was Edna Turnblad on Broadway in "Hairspray" and John Travolta is playing the role in the film)- Bruce replied "John and I have been going after the same PARTS for years." Hmmmm. I wonder what Bruce meant by that?

Bruce Vilanch calls the balls.

HBO "ENTOURAGE" PREMIERE PARTY

We were asked to host the "bingo room" at the "Entourage" premiere party held on June 1 at The Hollywood Social Club (formerly The Hollywood Athletic Club- I suppose that means instead of exercising, they just all stand around now). Over 1000 people attended the party which also had roller derby, a burlesque room, dancing and lots of food and booze. Tons of celebrities made the scene including Paris and Nicky Hilton (Paris didn't know the difference between "Kobe Beef" and "vegetarian"). We were one big, huge hit. We played bingo for those freaks for over four hours and gave away forty prize bags. Let's just say we were very, very popular!

Bridgette of Madison County co-hosted with Belle Aire. Here she is at the "callback board" trying to explain to bingo virgins the meaning of "dinner for two, sauce on the side."


Doesn't Belle look sassy? Belle Aire and Bridgette both had their wigs designed by Mr. Dennis Stokely- a master of big "event" hair. He works at The Ken Pares Salon in Beverly HIlls. Check him out for your next big event!


In answer to your question, yes they are drunk here.

MOMMIE DEAREST GOES TO PALM SPRINGS!

On Monday, June 5, Belle Aire and Bingo-boy trekked to Palm Springs and, with Paramount Pictures presented "Mommie Dearest Bingo Night" for all of the our desert bingo freaks. The evening was in honor of the DVD release of the 25 year anniversary of Mommie Dearest and we literally sent everyone to "Bingo Camp!"

Our special guest for the evening was renowned drag queen Cassandra Fever as "Joan Crawford" and she was joined by two lovely "ladies" of the desert- "Michelle" (L) and "Lady Ella "(R).


This young couple brought their favorite Joan Crawford pic and also pics of their dogs to bring them luck. Alas they didn't win a single game. Damn you Joan Crawford!


CHRISTINA! BRING ME THE BINGO PADDLE!



Our surprise guest for the evening was Ann Walker, one of the stars of "Sordid Lives" and a good friend of Belle's. She'll be back calling the bingo numbers in July and that should thrill all of her Palm Springs fans- of which there are many.

JUST ANOTHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT!

If there is such a thing at Hamburger Mary's. On May 31, we hosted two sold out events on a very hot "too hot for this time of year" night in West Hollywood. Belle Aire showed up in an ensemble made for the weather. Hot was not the word for it...




Our special guest for the 9 p.m. show was Cleo King. She plays the nanny on the funny new Tori Spelling show "So NoTORIous." She will also be seen in the upcoming film 'Dreamgirls" with Beyonce!



The big news on this night was that as of one week, the walls would be coming down between Hamburger Mary's and the old Beijing Cafe and beginning on our next bingo night, we will have a brand new huge restaurant to frolick in! The "walk of pelt" will take FOREVER!
