I HEARD...

I HEARD...  Dina Marie has joined the team at Manhattan's newly gay, Elevate NYC.   Dina says she'll be producing a series of weekly parties for members of the transgendered community (and those whole admire them) as well as a monthly event that she's a little more tight lipped about.  If you remember her Circus and Blow Pop parties from last year, then you know what this nightlife-personality-turned-recording-artist is capable of pulling out of her weave!  Let's just say girl knows how to party.

I also HEARD... some of Dina Marie's singles that will be dropping later this year, and it looks like her parties aren't the only hits she's producing!  If you know Dina, you know you can expect a lot from any venture she undergoes.  Her debut album is no different.  Dina has been in the studio for the first few months of the year and even attended the Winter Music Conference in Miami to get the buzz started.  Get ready, because Dina Marie's tracks are going to blow your socks off!

I also HEARD... everyone's favorite train wreck, Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, has been talking lots of smack about her New York counterpart - Countess Luanna deLesseps after she ventured into Zolciak's territory and recorded her own song! "I don't like it," Kim has repetitively told anyone who will listen when referring to Luann's first single. "I admire what she's doing though," Zolciak added. Luann doesn't seem to care saying that people who don't like the song don't have to download it from iTunes.  The Countess evidently also has a record deal with Ultra Records while Zolciak is evidently working on her second single due out later this year.

[Editor's Note: In last week's edition of "I HEARD...", Dave Beatty says I evidently heard something wrong; and he has asked us to fix it.  Beatty may be out at Rush, but he evidently still owns his shares in the club while a deal is being brokered between he and the primary owners.]
