This year’s Doggies on the Catwalk fundraiser was moved from Grady High School to a high-end furniture store Room & Board in West Midtown this past Friday night. Local celebrities paraded dogs around for PALS Atlanta, which provides ongoing care and support to pets of Atlanta area persons living with HIV symptomatic/AIDS, and other critical illnesses or disabilities. Models and celebrities wore designer duds from Tootsie’s and Bill Hallman while Highbrow Hound dressed up the dogs. This year, the event raised $6,000, more than doubling last year’s total. Here are some photos from the event. B98.5’s Vikki… >>

This cast shot of “Revolution” is shot on the steps inside the Gold Dome in downtown Atlanta. Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll. NBC’s most anticipated fall show “Revolution,” shot last month in Atlanta, has already been seen by 7.2 million people on YouTube in less than a week. That’s miles ahead of any of its other new shows, including Ryan Murphy’s “New Normal” (120,000 views), which features NeNe Leakes in a recurring role. Why? It has a potentially cool sci-fi premise: all electricity disappears and… >>

They say that your choice of attire should always make a statement and Usher Raymond ‘s baby blue suit her rocked on the red carpet of the 2012 Billboard Awards is screaming something… I just don’t know what. While he didn’t have an album in the running, Raymond received three nods this year for songs he served as featured a guest –   David Guetta’s “Without You” and Romeo Santos’ “Promise”. Guetta’s received 2 nominations (Top Dance Song and Top Streaming Song), while Santos’ tune was in the running for Top Latin Song but unfortunately neither of them won an award. More… >>

Fox’s “House” gets a lovely send off Monday night, first with a one-hour retrospective, followed by the final episode. Hugh Laurie and the producers managed to turn an irascible, foul-mouthed, always-in-pain doctor into a star, someone viewers were willing to watch week in and week out. The story structure became formulaic (patient gets sick, gets misdiagnosed, gets sicker, recovers after House figures out what’s really happening.) But fans of Laurie embraced the complex character over 177 episodes. But alas, it’s time to say goodbye, ol’ grouch. Otherwise, this week is business as usual. Both “Idol” and… >>

I revealed to you the cast list of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta  months ago ( HERE ) and updated you with changes to the cast, including who quit the show and the 2nd string replacement ( HERE ) but at the time of my posts, the casting of the show had not been truly finalized. Now the “official” cast listing has been released, as well as the premiere date for the show and guess what? I was correct (as usual). Not much has changed since my last post and most of the “A” is still scared to death of how Mona Scott Young… >>

THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE — “Puppet Up” Episode 1210 — Pictured: Clay Aiken — (Photo by: Douglas Gorenstein/NBC) Donald Trump’s fifth rendition of “Celebrity Apprentice” featured its fair share of fireworks, including Lisa Lampanelli’s histrionics, Aubrey O’Day’s n arcissism, Dayana Mendoza’s battles with seemingly every other woman on the show and 110 percent of Lou Ferrigno’s muscles. But tonight, it came down to “American Idol” runner-up Clay Aiken and former late-night talk show host Arsenio Hall. In both cases, it’s not just that they believe in their respective charities (the Magic Johnson Foundation and Clay’s own The Inclusion Project) but it’s about redemption… >>

Kenya Moore , the newest ”housewife” on the block, Lawrence Washington and a friend were photographed hanging out at a local bar last week. I exclusively broke the news two weeks ago that Kenya Moore was the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta and these photos further confirm my previous report. While it’s a well-known fact that Lawrence and ex-housewife Sheree Whitfield parted ways after Whitfield blamed him for her hair loss , the former Miss USA has no fear and reportedly “Miss Lawrence” will her hairstylist of choice this season. That’s Moore’s Atlanta connection #1. I don’t think… >>
