Stand up comedian Russell Peters will have a show this Friday at NBC Tent.  He’s better known for comedy that speaks to immigrant communities around the world –Indian, Arab, Caribbean, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian communities.  Russell Peters is an Anglo-Indian who grew up in a white Canadian society.

Bubba has been insisting that we watch RP’s show on Friday.  Tickets as I can remember are at 5K and 3.6K.  You can catch some of his acts on You Tube.  Visit Russell Peters website for featured photos, videos and more at www.russellpeters.com

After so much deliberation on what ticket to get, we finally bought our tickets to the Chris Brown Rihanna 2in1 concert!!!

I just heard Mo’s interview of Chris Brown on the radio Magic 89.9

Mo asked if Chris Brown and Rihanna would do a joint number on stage… Chris Brown answered that he wants the crowd to be surprised at the concert.  The concert will definitely be made special whether they do a tandem together or do it back to back, but Chris Brown didn’t want to ruin the thrill of what to expect.

Mo claims that Chris Brown and Rihanna concert will be the country’s powerhouse concert for 2008.  Chris Brown recently wrote songs for the Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears.

Mo: With all the Chris Brown money, what’s the number 1 thing on your shopping list?

Chris Brown: I’m not a bling bling guy.

Mark your calendars.  November 16, 2008.  My friends have bought their tickets.  Most of them are getting Gold.  I haven’t bought mine but planning to in 2 days.  Still can’t decide which ticket to get.

Rihanna is supposed to guest on the Good Times with Mo, Mojo, and Grace Lee show on Thursday.

On other news:

Beyonce announced that she would now like to be known as “Sasha Fierce.”  She supposedly needs an alter ego whenever she is at “work” or whenever she performs on stage –a screen name that will protect her and who she really is.

Venue is the Open Field at Fort.  The Early Bird rate is as follows: Gold PHP 3090, Silver 1545, Bronze 309, which is almost at 50% of the actual prize.

Ticket Pricing from Nov. 1 to Nov. 15

Platinum                PHP 10,300

Gold                        PHP 5150

Silver                      PHP 3090

I called Ticketworld and supposedly no seats even for Platinum and Gold.  All SRO.  For more info, call Ticketworld at 891-9999.

Finally, someone is bringing the two hottest RnB prince and princess to Manila.  Kudos to Ticketworld and MTV (There you go)!!! Tentative date of Chris Brown and Rihanna concert is on November 16, Sunday.  I called Ticketworld this morning to confirm and yes, they are handling this event.  Good enough for me at this point.  Venue and ticket prices will be released next week.  For inquiries, call Ticketworld @ 891-9999.

I am extremely excited!
