Fifth Avenue Blogger Bash for Predicto TV

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

If you watch a lot of episodes of Predicto TV (and you are, right?), then you know we love going to big parties. This week we went to a really fun one, held in the VIP lounge at Saks, overlooking Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center. The occasion was the launch party for She-blogs.com, a new lifestyle blog focused on women’s news, fashion and style. We met site founder and lead blogger Allyson Leak, Apprentice star and entrepreneur Kwame Jackson, radio host and broadcasting personality Free and the attorney-turned-style maven, Lauren Lake. The music was thumping (heavy on Michael Jackson) by DJ Beverly Bond, as the guests sipped cocktails, received free makeup tips, and danced the night away. But before Predicto TV left the party, we made sure to ask our Predicto Mobile survey questions! Lauren Lake, asked if she thinks former governor Sarah Palin will get her own talk show now that she’s left office, said “I knew it was coming. I said there was no way this woman was going to step down off of one platform unless she’s got a huge mainstage to go to… I wish her all the best.  I am thankful she is not our vice president but I would definitely be OK with her having a talk show and everyone enjoying her Monday through Friday in the daytime.” Watch Episode 33 of Predicto TV now!


Predicto TV Goes into Art & Fashion World

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Art-loving celebrities turned out for the 15th anniversary party for Gen Art, a New York organization that supports emerging artists. Predicto TV was on the red carpet to meet actor/director Ralph Macchio, fashion designer Zac Posen, actress Pooja Kumar and Miss USA Kristen Dalton! Gen Art is a leading arts and entertainment organization dedicated to showcasing emerging fashion designers, filmmakers, musicians and visual artists. We caught up with Actor-Director Ralph Macchio and asked the “Karate Kid” star if Michelle Obama will appear in an anti-fur ad for PETA: “That’s a real tough call for a First Lady to make a stand in that sort of way. I think you have to go with what your beliefs are… it’s interesting.” [How the Predicto Mobile Community Voted: YES 71% NO 29%]. We met Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton, and asked her if she thinks dethroned Miss California Carrie Prejean will replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a host on “The View”: “I’m sure she would be a good addition. She definitely has strong opinions, so she would probably make a good addition to the team.” [How the Predicto Mobile Community Voted: YES 55% NO 45%]. Watch Episode 29 of Predicto TV now!


Party Time with Kim Kardashian on Predicto TV

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

It’s back to the red carpet for the Predicto TV crew as we are invited to a private party in SoHo hosted by none other than Kim Kardashian! The sidewalks around the hot club Greenhouse were packed with stargazers, all eager to get a look at the celebs who popped out of limousines and SUVs. Predicto TV was also able to snag time with Lance Bass, Playboy Playmate Lindsey Vuolo and MTV actress Erin Lucas. We asked Kim whether or not Janet Jackson will perform a tribute to Michael at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. “I think that would be amazing if she did. It would be really brave of her. It would be amazing, and the whole world would want to see that, so I hope she does.” [How the Predicto Mobile Community Voted: YES 90% NO 10%] Watch Episode 28 of Predicto TV!


Hot Fashions and Cool Celeb Gossip at Issa London Show

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Lately Predicto TV has wrangled some pretty sweet invitations. When we aren’t going to movie premiers and red carpet events, we are now making a splash at private parties. Our latest coup was getting the Predicto TV crew into the posh Standard Hotel in Manhattan for a fashion show packed with models and cocktail-sipping fashionistas. The occasion was the debut of a new line from Issa London, the hot brand that is favored by stars such as Madonna, Keira Knightley and Nicole Richie. As we navigated through a crush of tipsy partygoers and haughty models, we got to talk to head designer Daniella Issa Helayel, the Brazilian fashion genius (and Rafael Nadal super fan), as well as hair stylist to the stars, Ted Gibson. But we saved the best for last, as we chat up rising fashion models Liza Golden, Ilona Struzik and Danielle Henry about their devotion to Adam Lambert, Twitter and Facebook. Watch Episode 24 of Predicto TV to find out what other celebs have to say about pop culture and music, as we try to blend in with socialites!
