Toni's Oscar Night At Prince's House

Toni's Oscar Night ended with her hanging out at a party at Prince's house. How did this happen? You've got to read this.

When you come to Hollywood you think that the whole world is going to change for you.



Boy Did it!!!!

I had a friend of mine come in from Chicago to celebrate her Birthday LA style and due to her, I myself, had one of the greatest nights of my life. Because of her and her connections with Hollywood Royalty I was accepted to go to the after party with no other than the man himself... PRINCE!!!!!

Now I really did not think that I would be able to get in. But I was assured that my friend of 9 years Trevian could make it happen. She has always been in my corner and working for me to make the connections I need in Hollywood to make it happen. Now Sunday started out with a beautiful brunch at the Ivy here in West Hollywood . I had the pleasure of eating with Chicago hometown Juanita Jordan (Michael Jordan's wife) and Cedric the Entertainer's wife as well as the awesome Tenisha AKA Pam from the hit show Martin. Wow, and totally fun. Champagne and great conversations were flowing for over 3 Hours. Now as the Oscars started to draw near Trevian and I came back to my apartment complex to watch the Oscars unfold.

As we watched Trevian's phone was blowing up with calls to invites to the After Parties. Now I did not think in a million years that she would want to take me. But she did!

With Carl, AKA cockroach, (Martin Lawrence show) called and invited us to Jamie Foxx' party at a club called Hollywood and Vine. I of course was late and did not get in, but that was alright, I waited for the crew to come out because they said they had another surprise. "We're going to Prince's house!!"

WOW! WOW! WOW!

I knew this was a lifetime opportunity and I had to take it. Totally nervous, we set out to go to the party of all parties. And believe me this place is awesome. The front gates of the estate have the legendary symbol for Prince and security was tight. We arrived at around 12 am . We knew the party was going on until 6 am . When the gates opened after a major security check and code names and words and we were in. I drove up the massive driveway with just pure excitement.

I could not believe that I was about to walk into the home of a legend. As you approach the front door there was yet another huge symbol over the entryway. Lined with velvet and candles the house was laid out with an Asian theme. Really Zen materials and then you could go two ways. The main space was set up with a stage and equipment with live music. I found out that Prince likes to perform for his guests. OH MY GOD!!! Prince was going to be singing in front of me ... 5 feet away!

I turned around to have the man himself standing right in front of me. I tried to keep cool as I was introduced. He shook my hand and said welcome enjoy the festivities. Anything you need please ask. Oh my god! Oh my god!!

I was just blown away. Now he is not a big man, I probably had a good 5 inches on him, but I was prepared for that. He pointed to his game room with a huge pool table and said feel free if you like to play pool, and the bar is over here, and the chefs are cooking if you're hungry, enjoy. Then he did the coolest thing ever; he said, enjoy yourself Toni! Wow!

I walked into the Kitchen and the chef walked me around the spread as he placed the food on a plate for me and then had some one bring me a glass of Champagne . Wow!

With my good friend with me, and being with Carl, the night was already awesome! I met a legend! I was in this man house, Wow!

We finished eating to a wonderful DJ that was spinning mixes of all of Prince's music, of course and proceeded to walk outside by the pool. The back yard was lined with Purple lights and a huge Symbol hanging in front of the pool house. It was reflecting all over the back yard and the water. With one of the most beautiful views of LA, of course, this is Prince; I would not expect anything less from the man. Now I was outside for a bit and just trying to soak up the view and everything that was happening. I met some really cool people out there and we were just laughing for a while. It was cool. Now I know that the true party does not really happen until 2 so I was not about to go home. What I did not know is that it was 2 am and I had been outside for about an hour. I walked back in to see the most amazing thing ever. Spike Lee was standing by the door and saw me coming in so he opened the door for me. Oh my god! Then as I said thank you I went back to the Bar to find my friends and sure enough there was Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, And Salma Hayek laughing and talking about something. I just smiled, and walked away to find my friends. Then I walked around to the band starting and there was Pamela Anderson with Jamie Foxx. And then Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philipe, I looked around again to see Clive Davis talking with Jeff Gordon. Regina King was talking with my girl Trevian and motioned for me to come over. As I met her she introduced me to Chris Rock and Chris Tucker. I was talking with these guys for a bit and they were awesome.

Then she walked me over to Jamie Foxx and introduced me. He would not let that Oscar go. He carried it all night long.

Clive Owen (Oscar Nominees for best supporting actor) was standing with the totally hot, French actor Erik Per Sullivan (Unfaithful). I got a chance to speak with them for a bit and toast to a great night. That was awesome. Oh my god there so hot!!!!! Erika Christensen (Swimfan) and I were dancing to Prince singing his heart out and then there were so many other celebrities there that I started to lose count, until The Black Eyed Peas with Toni Tony Tone got up there with Prince and sang and danced. It was amazing. I just was blown away with how wonderful and nice everyone was. I just could not believe that I was there.

I know that it truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to be blessed with my friends. If it were not for Trevian I would have never been there. Thank You Trevian for memories that will be with me until the day I die.

Wow, I truly struck the lotto.

confuse Another one?! Given the surprisingly hostile reception on NPGMC to the last one (the "Oh Gawd" one), I thought maybe these would quietly cease! lol Personally, between the tone of voice and the content, these name-dropping "3121" press releases are becoming downright annoying. Plus, I'm not sure what the point of them really is. JMHO, would luv to hear how others feel about 'em. cool
