This past weekend the second annual All-Star Chef Classic took place at LA Live. On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending the Grill & Chill presented by DCS and Stella Artois. The event deck at LA Live was transformed into a food carnival. As you entered the event you were handed a ticket booklet. Each ticket within the booklet represented a chef and their dish. Throughout the venue there were cooking stations that corresponded to each ticket and whenever you were ready to have the next food experience you would tear the ticket, place it in the appropriate bucket, and receive a plate.

There were gowns that would make any woman the bell of the ball, and cocktail dresses that would be instant attention grabbers at any party. The inspiration for Khan’s most recent collection was “iconic muses of the ’50s and ’60s…Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, and Jackie Kennedy.”

The Playboy Jazz Festival took over the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend. The two-day festival saw droves of people coming together to enjoy the musical talents of both veteran and up-and-coming acts.

On Saturday Morgan James showed us exactly why she was picked to play the part of Teena Marie in Motown: The Musical. The majority of her set included songs from her debut album titled Hunter. Morgan belted out the lyrics to “Fed Up on You” which instantly became one of my new favorite songs! “Heart Shake” and “Say the Words” were pretty dope as well.
