“Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today, I want to be a part of it, New York, New York,” Frank Sinatra must have been talking about being in New York during New Year’s Eve when he began singing that classic song so many many years ago. CelebrityMagnet Tom Murro joined the Manhattan madness with thousands of others Saturday night to see the glorious ball drop…Read full post

This past Thursday, the self proclaimed Queen of celeb gossip, Perez Hilton, hosted a concert to benefit GLSEN (Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network). The event was presented by OpenSky and titled “One Night in New York City.” There were performances by Mary J Blige, Pauly D, Boyz II Men and many others.
