Terrell Owens Birthday Bash & Fundraiser

Last night was one of the coldest nights we've had in Dallas in a long time, but Terrell Owen's 35th birthday bash was warm and fun. My favorite celebrity news personality Gary with the T of the nationally syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show was gracious enough to allow me to attend the event as his guest. If any one has heard Gary in the morning you know I had a blast. Gary was there as part of the press so we arrived early and he worked hard. Amoung the guests he interviewed were Dallas mayor Tom Leppart, Solange, comedian Guy Torrey, Real House Wives of Atlanta Lisa & Ed Hartwell, Toccara/ANTM and Jill Jones/Girlfriends just to name a few. Cowboys on had that I knew with my none football watching self were: Bradie James, Roy Williams (new WR), Greg Ellis, my play cousin Patrick Crayton and his beautiful wife Najiyyah and Terrance Newman. Terrell arrived with his beautiful mother, sisters and brothers to end the press time and then everyone went downstairs to enjoy dinner and the auction. Guy Torrey co-hosted the auction with Terrell which was hilarious. The thing that struck me about Terrell at this event was he's not what the media portrays him to be. He was very humble, friendly, funny and seemed to be having a great time. It was a great event to have in Dallas in benefited 81 deserving Dallas families. Good times were had by all and I know alot people were able to get their end of the year networking game on. I people watched because my shoes were giving me the business.

Other folks in the house were comedian Nanette Lee, Pastor Rickey Rush, Dion & Pilar Sanders, Tanikia Smith, Case, Common, actress Kim Whitley, Real Housewives of Atlanta favorite NeNe Leakes, comedian Dee Ellis, DJ Ro Parrish, Redrick Johnson/Pride 13 Media, Melyssa Ford & Carl Anthony Payne...I know I'm missing someone. I'll update if I remember. Ahh...Ludacris closed the event out with a performance. It was great to Chaka & the DTP family. Atlanta was in the house for Terrell's event.
