DJ Atrain
http://www.chicagomusicpromotions.com/djatrain
Adrian Allen better known as DJ Atrain, has spent most of his life dedicating time and passion to the mystical art of entertainment. Years of practicing, from his parents house, DJ Atrain perfected his unique style into a powerhouse of original as well as stylish beats. Not a mere laptop DJ, which has become the fad of the day, he can change his style and reinvent his mix to suit any situation.
A-train first became interested in mixing music for people to enjoy at the early age of 5. When he turned the tender age of 8 he received his first pair of technics 1200's turntables and a Numark mixer. Three of his older siblings began teaching him the basics of mixing two records together and other dj tricks. The majority of influence came from family members. His parents loved listening to jazz and blues, two older brothers who were djs themselves, and his sister showed him how to beat juggle along with two twin brothers who always gave him new music. Influences also came from listening to superstar djs spin music on Chicago radio stations like WBMX and WGCI.
1996 was DJ Atrain's first public event which was at a friend's house, where he brought a dj coffin filled with 2 turntables and a mixer, 8 crates of records, speakers and an amp as his equipment. This event gave him the confidence to grow and nurture his craft becoming even better after performing in front of a live audience. His next event was 1998, a surprise 21st party for his twin brothers. While receiving his bachelor degree at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, (1999-2003) he did countless fraternity and sorority parties as well as private functions. The Boiler Room, his first club residency, is where he met a great dj/producer named Dj Steady B. It was also here that Atrain got to be known all throughout the campus and town for his unique mix styles and abilty to get the crowd in the club and keep them on the dance floor. Flash forward two years to 2005 and his next club residency was at Mr. Ricky's located outside of Chicago. During this residency is where he met four exceptional djs. Dj Smooth, Dj Eazy, Dj Dave and Dj Tysko. While doing countless parties he has played along side some tremendous djs including, Craig Loftis, Dj Emanuel and Dj Melvin Gentry.
Dj Atrain has played at numerous clubs and venues. Cherry Red, Beef and Brandy, Secrets, 50 Yard Line, Fiesta Cantina, Krush, The Muse, Neon Catus, Mango's, Club What's Up, La Parranda and The W to name a few. These venue were all various ethnicities and music genres and that is one thing Dj Atrain prides him self on is being able to adapt to any crowd and make the dance floor move. In the near future he will become a producer but promises not to skip a beat in being a great dj.For Booking Info

A lady of her word, Maria Menounos stripped to a Giants bikini in NYC to host Extra yesterday after losing a bet to co-host A.J. Calloway to do so if her beloved Patriots lost the Super Bowl.

Ke$ha opens up in the March issue of Glamour magazine, ditching her glitter and garbage look for… something that resembles a person who regularly showers.
Inside she gabs about her penchant for penis and promises fans that the follow-up to her 2010 album Animal will show her vulnerable side. This might translate to less lyrics about hard liquor, more about Franzia.
Of special note, she reveals to Glamour how she manages to dig herself out of melancholy:
“Who isn’t amused by a giant, dancing penis? Sometimes when I’m sad, I make my assistant put on the penis outfit and bounce around my house.”
She doesn’t just see dick when she’s sad–she has several sex partners weekly, adding: “Don’t get me wrong: I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It’s like a hobby. I’m like a praying mantis. They **** me, and then I eat them.”

“Born to Die” is the new music video directed by the celebrated photographer/filmmaker Yoann Lemoine, from the chart-topping major label album debut by 25-year-old retro chanteuse Lana Del Rey. A number of malcontent bloggers have taken snarky aim at Del Rey, taking issue with the size of her fantastic pout, with the fact that she changed her name from the far less exotic Lizzy Grant, and for presenting an image they feel is just too cool to be real. Nevertheless, Del Rey comes across like a gangster Lauren Bacall, finds musical inspiration in the bright lights of Monte Carlo and can sing with enough grace and longing to break your heart after just one verse.
This piece includes color photographs and the music video.

I probably was like a queen in London, I was probably the people’s queen that fought for lives… and I probably started off as a maid and then was just, like, really revolutionary and moved all my Barbies into the big queen mansion.”

LOLhits theaters Feb. 10.
Here’s a synopsis:
The movie tells the story of a 15-year-old girl who, dumped by her more sexually experienced boyfriend, sets her sights on his best friend. At the same time, her 40-year-old divorcee mother is struggling to move on with her life.

Soul Train creator Don Cornelius was found dead after committing suicide this morning. He was 75.
Police say he died of a self-inflicted gunshot to his head.
TMZ reports:
We’re told cops discovered the body at around 4 a.m. PST. Law enforcement sources tell us … Cornelius died from a gunshot wound to the head and officials believe the wound was self-inflicted.
We’re told Cornelius was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“Soul Train” changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006.
Cornelius was suffering from “significant health issues” in 2009.
Sad news! But now we should take this time to look back at one of the many shining gems from the dance show that brought soul to Saturday mornings… ROSIE PEREZ dancing the famous Soul Train line dance!

California Jews Shake Down Mel Gibson For Reparations
Does it ever end? Get a load of this…
Congregation Beth Shalom in Corona, California has sent Mel Gibson a letter in hopes of guilting him into forking over some cash to bail them out of a bad investment they made on their local synagogue. Apparently, the group took out a giant loan that they can’t afford to pay back and are now facing foreclosure.
In a move reminiscent of something out of post-war Germany, the Southern California synagogue is looking to Gibson as though he should pay some kind of “Holocaust” style reparations for the so-called anti-Semitic tirade he made back in 2006.
I guess it’s not enough that Mel has already spent millions of dollars contributing to Jewish charities, including $5 million to the Jewish Cedars Sinai Hospital. Not to mention getting down on his knees and apologizing to the Jewish community on numerous occassions—only to have his career railroaded anyway.
Entertainment website TMZ apparently got their hands on the letter. Here’s what it says:
“Our proposal to you, Mr. Gibson, is since you have been cited as an Anti-Semitic, and have denied those allegations, what better way to prove to all your fans and the nay Sayers — than to endorse and help raise funds for our cause — SOS, Save Our Synagogue…“Mr. Gibson, we offer you to be a Mensch and make a sizable contribution to our cause.”
That’s what you call CHUTZPAH, folks!
Congregation Beth Shalom is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism and, as a Reform synagogue, strives to help Jews and their families live Jewish lives, rich in the traditions of our people.California Jews Shake Down Mel Gibson For Reparations

MTV’s Jersey Shore hot piece Pauly D had Instagram’s most popular post when he uploaded a hot self-snapped shirtless photo to his page Thursday.
Nice, isn’t it? Well, some people just can’t appreciate perfection like that. Take note:
True, I’ve noticed Pauly D does have a wonky eye too. But with a photo like that, why would you do a thing like look at his face when there are so many better places to stare?
There’s another shirtless iPhone self-snapped photo that promises to make your mouth water after the jump!

Former MTV Sports host Dan Cortese had a OMFG PHROWARRRR nude shirtless scene on Hot in Cleveland last Wednesday.
Dan, 44, told his Twitter fans on the premiere date: “Watch my nude scene w/ Betty White 2nite. I haven’t seen this much action since junior prom!”
Here’s the episode synopsis:
Melanie (Valerie Bertinneli) taking Elka (White) into the Browns’ locker room following a game which they lose for her birthday. While Elka makes the rounds to feel the chests of the naked men, Melanie talks to Jimmy Armstrong (Cortese), the kicker, who is a real dunce. As Elka puts it, “he doesn’t have much going on upstairs, but he has plenty down below!”
Since his episode premiered he’s been flooded with requests for more. Damn right.
“Thx 4 all the Hot In Cleveland love,” he tweeted yesterday. “I’ve been asked back 2 the show. Not to act, but apparently to detail @wolfiesmom (Valerie Bertinneli) Bentley.”
Dan Cortese is like a fine wine. Take a look at this photo from 1997 when he starred on NBC’s Veronica’s Closet.

Before you get too excited by the headline, let me finish: Jimmy Fallon likes to be dominated by women in the workplace. (It’s your lucky day, ladies!)
Paul Tarascio, a former stage manager at “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” filed suit in Manhattan against the late night host, citing gender discrimination. Tarascio claims that he was fired from his position because of his gender, only to be replaced by a woman whom he refers to as “totally incompetent,” reports TMZ.
According to the lawsuit, several other male staffers have been replaced by women in recent years, all of whom were less qualified to fulfill their duties than their male counterparts. Even Fallon’s director, David Diomedi, is reported as saying, “Jimmy just prefers to take direction from a woman.”
Tarascio claims that Diomedi also admitted to “knowingly fabricating alleged performance issues” about Tarascio in order to get him fired, while Fallon was presumably fabricating his own performance issues, in order to get himself spanked by his new female stage manager. (You sure you want that job back, Paul?)
Tarascio is seeking lost wages and unspecified punitive damages. Let’s just hope, for his sake, that his lawyer is a woman.

Megan Fox has finally starred in something after Transformers that has had more views than Jennifer’s Body and Jonah Hex combined–a commercial for CCAA, a language-learning school in Brazil.
It sees two guys, who only speak Portuguese, stranded on an island occupied by 80,000* (*rough estimate) Megan Fox clones who, despite their large numbers, cannot act. When the guys fail to communicate with her because of a language barrier, they are cast off to Mike Tyson island. Mike Tyson island could be fun if you consider the possibilities, holla!

Heidi Klum and Seal have decided to end their seven-year marriage, they former couple revealed in a statement to People magazine today.
“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate.
“We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.
“We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.” “
The Project Runway host and Kiss From a Rose singer have three kids together, Henry, 6, Johan, 5 and Lou, 2. Heidi has a daughter Leni from a previous relationship.
Can you believe it? Heidi, 38, and Seal, 48, seemed like one of the few truly in love Hollywood couples. It seems like only yesterday Heidi was talking about how it was love at first sight when she saw seal’s sausage packed in his swim trunks back in 2004, and it’s been nothing but baby making and annual vow renewals since then.
I know what you’re thinking: Who gets custody of the Halloween costumes? They couple put on over-the-top Halloween bashes every year–things just won’t be the same.Heidi Klum and Seal have decided to end their seven-year marriage, they former couple... more

Beyonce’s skin tone is once again the topic of conversation after new promo photos for her latest album 4 were released yesterday show a lighter version of herself.
Critics are accusing her of being “white washed” – digitally made to appear to have a fair skin tone as a way to boost sales by appealing to larger markets. But some say it’s just studio lighting.

The Jedward twins stripped down for a shirtless, nearly naked YouTube video where they dance to LMFAO’s Sexy and I Know It with as little on as possible.
Yep, LMFAO sums it all up.
If you have never seen tacky twink gay porn, this is pretty much the same thing. Only with twins. So, clearly this is much better (obvs.). And this won’t rebill your credit card after 30 days.
