An alumna from the Class of 1960 will be honored with the Jessie Hillman Award for Excellence before the initial Hillman Opera performance of "Tales of Hoffmann" at 8 p.m. in King Concert Hall at Fredonia State College. She's Buffalo native Helen Tinch Williams, a retired music teacher who met her future husband, Milton, while she was at Fredonia. Looking on proudly will be her two famous children -- actor Chris Williams and singer, actress and former Miss America Vanessa L. Williams. Think of it as a cultural version of your next-door neighbor coming over to loan you a cup of sugar. The Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society has brought some of its remarkable 19th and early 20th century paintings down the street to the Burchfield Penney Art Center, which has adde...
Magic Johnson and Sean Combs were among the A-list celebrities who threw parties. Playboy (I didn't go) threw a raging party at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport. The airport is named in honor of Detroit's first Black mayor. Kanye West and Rick Fox, who used to play with the L.A. Lakers and Boston Celtics and who used to be hitched to former Miss America Vanessa Williams, were surrounded by adoring young types who would have flown around the world with them. Usher and Snoop Dogg hung out at ESPN the Magazine's party.
After overcoming the so-called "Miss America scandal," Vanessa Williams had seven Top 10 hits in a row, including "The Right Stuff," "(He's Got) The Look," "Dreamin'," "Darlin' I," "Running Back to You," "The Comfort Zone" and "Save the Best For Last. R&B legend Jerry Butler, who started out singing with the Impressions and sang lead on their Top 3 hit "For Your Precious Love," at one time was a Cook County commissioner, in Illinois. He did not stop singing, however, to do that job. Butler has been on the national charts 59 times, including "He Will Break Your Heart," "Need to Belong," "Let It Be Me" (with Betty Everett), "Hey, Western Union Man," "Only the Strong Survive" and "Ain't Understanding Mellow" (with Brenda Lee Eager). After overcoming the so-called "Miss America scandal...
In beauty pageant drama, it wouldn't make the top 10. When you compare it to Miss California USA Carrie Prejean's comments about same-sex marriage or to the photos that cost Vanessa Williams her Miss America title, it hardly ranks as scandal. But, for the Miss Virginia Pageant, the fact that a young woman who was not one of the pageant's top five finalists would, because of a series of circumstances, become Miss Virginia is believed to be unprecedented.
Employees" here are regarded as family, and [Alfred Agee, Jr.] will be the first to tell you how much he loves it here. When asked to share a fond memory of his time here, he responded, "Meeting Vanessa Williams after she won Miss America. She was really nice. We enjoyed several great meals and an honorable mention goes out to LuLu's at Homeport Marina, a Caribbean-style respite right on the water. LuLu is actually Lucy Buffet, Jimmy Buffet's sister, who has created her own Caribbean utopia complete with nightly entertainment, an outdoor "show" kitchen, children's private beach area, volleyball, a great bar and delicious food - fried green tomatoes, peel and eat shrimp, fried clams and crab claws, seafood gumbo, oysters, mahimahi, jalapeño hushpuppies and tropical cocktails, just for ...
Tonight, the cast will be discussing the in's and ouf s of this trendsetting comedy series with the show's most stylish residents, including America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becki Newton, and the style goddess/costume designer Patricia Field. [...] there will be plenty to discuss- such as their relocation from the West Coast back to New York (which returned Field's expertise to the show); what makes Betty's mismatched flea-market attire so fabulous; and the mystery surrounding the death of the Anna Wintour-inspired character, Fey Sommers.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Remember those "Penthouse" nudie pics? The ones that temporarily robbed Vanessa Williams of her 1984 Miss America crown? Well, even as her star was rising in the early '90s, they came back to haunt her one last time when Disney informed her that she wasn't fit to take part in a family-friendly project. I was supposed to do one of the voices in "The Lion King," Williams, 45, recalls outside her trailer at the Santa Monica Airport after rehearsing her hosting duties for the "TV Land Awards." "I had met with the directors, saw the (story) boards and everything, and then was told through my agent that I would never be Disney material. That was 16, 17 years ago, so it's interesting how far we get. Now I'm a Disney employee.
She continued (and I am printing it just the way she said it): "[MILLIE JACKSON] will not take her clothes off in public! You see, I done hit the big four-0, and when you hit the big four-O, things ain't what they used be! (Laughed loud.) They may still look just as nice, or even better, in clothes, but when you come out them clothes, you be goin' 'uhhhh.' (Laughed loudly again.) "In fact," she added, "I done got to the point where I turn off the lights when I have sex!" (Laughed even louder and longer than the first two times.) When I interviewed VANESSA WILLIAMS, she was courageously rebounding from the Miss America scandal. (No need to elaborate on that.) She had a big hit single, "The Right Stuff," and an album that was taking off (and featured four Top 10 hits, including "Dreamin',...
