According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, people have basic needs for food, water, warmth, clothes, shelter and...furniture.  A singer/songwriter Ne-Yo and his growing family are no different.  He, too, likes furniture for his family.

Ashley Homestore is paying attention to that and his fans' demographics.  Yes, the growing, emerging Millennials and the newly established Gen-Xers and Gen-Zers just entering the world by room-mating, couch-crashing, and bachelor/studio-apartment-ing it.  They need specific furniture at different stages in life.  This ain't your grandparents living, translating into this ain't your grandparents' furniture.  Their hand-me-down "antique/vintage" furniture don't have chargers for your phone and tablets.

Ashley Homestore's Urbanology cater to limited spaces and technology chargers with storage beds, couches and recliners and tables with charger outlets for your phones and tablets and even laptops, all within reaches of your finger tips.  Ashley Homestores even design lift-top coffee tables as tv trays while maximizing space-saving, whether it be your small starter studio or maximizing your spacious loft.  

Ashley Homestore's Urbanology caters to the fresh market of up and coming adults, interested in saving space and money.  Those are Ne-Yo's fans.

As corporate sponsors of Ne-Yo's free concert, with help from Pandora, Ashley Homestore set the most comfortable party/concert lounges of living room, bedroom, dining, and another lounge dedicated to four living room dens with four bars.  Ashley Homestore made concert lounges worthy of  VIP status and quality but it's for anyone who rsvped or won the sweepstake for this free concert. What a perfect for potential customers to test drive the furniture then rest their weary feet and enjoy Ne-Yo live or watching on tv, lounging in comfortable, plush couches and chaises and your drink resting on chic coffee tables.

In the Dining Room section, they had a Blue Star Donut Wall and servers serving platters of Blue Star Donuts.  Dessert as decorations that anyone can help themselves, causal chic.

Further honing on future home ownership, Ashley Homestore kindly engraved fashion coaster with your name, on laser-engraver...

Let's admit it, everyone is all about Ne-Yo and he gave an honest performance...

For those with weary feet and sore butts, all the televisions in all the lounges air the live concert, while weary guests comfortably watch in, resting in cozy couches and chaises as their drinks rest on beautiful coffee tables.  Sheltered away from Indian Summer heat.

Concert audience were surprised Ne-Yo sang Beyoncé 's and Pit Bull's songs. He informed them that he's also a songwriter and he wrote their songs for them.

Ne-Yo was kind enough to bring up fans onstage to dance and sing with him. Good fella.

Through Ashley Homestore's marketing collaboration with Pandora's artists and their fan base, Ashely Homestore brought the exclusive, decadent VIP insider experience of lounging in comfort while enjoying their favorite artist, in quality setting and comfort.

Doing this more means more sales from emerging Gen-Zers and Millennials and established Gen-Xers, finally, with properties and money to burn.

C'mon Ashley Homestore, bring it and y'all have decorative gongs.

Forget Haunted House, How About a Real Guilty Treat?! Popsugar's E! True Hollywood Stories House for One Day Only!

By Laura Medina

Fall's cooler temperatures causes us to huddle inside, whether in front of a roaring fireplace or the tv or watching tv on your tablet, in front of a roaring fire.  It's time for good, juicy stories in whatever.  So, snuggle back in your cozy PJs, with your mug of hot cocoa and apple cider then yourself with early Halloween candies and treat yourself to...E! True Hollywood Story returning Sunday, Oct. 6 at 10 p.m.!  It's true...E! True Hollywood Story is coming back with the first episode on how sex cult, NXIVM, with Catherine Oxenberg describing how it took over Hollywood and her daughter.

In this clip from the season premiere of E! True Hollywood Story (airing Sunday, Oct. 6 at 10 p.m.), Catherine Oxenberg shares the struggle she faced when choosing to walk away from NXIVM. After a nearly two-year involvement with Keith Raniere's purported self-help program, the Dynasty actress reveals she was ready to walk away.

"I didn't want to give up my life for these people," Oxenberg notes in regards to the since fallen cult. "I wasn't interested in being part of their community."

Sadly, her daughter India Oxenberg didn't feel the same way. As India took more NXIVM courses, Catherine says she became "concerned about the amount of money that [India] was spending."

"She said, 'Look, Mom. I never finished college. I consider this the money that I would've invested in my education!'" the 58-year-old actress reflects. "What can you say to that?"

Unfortunately, NXIVM was not the self-help program it was advertised to be.

This week E! announced that the documentary series is heading back to the network with all-new episodes. The show began back in 1996 and now current pop culture icons, events and movements are going to get the True Hollywood Story treatment. So which celebrities and major pop culture moments are so massive and influential they need to be dissected THS style?  They have gotten a few suggestions...

Focusing on the hidden, darker, behind-the-scenes lore of past and present, E! True Hollywood pulls back the curtain.

Some fans on social are saying that they should shed some light on the cast of Glee and the lives of the stars after the hit Fox show wrapped. Others are suggesting they focus on the #MeToo movement. Both of which sound like great investigative pieces.

Other Hollywood subjects who would make compelling episodes of True Hollywood Story include Girls Trip's breakout star Tiffany Haddish, the always controversial Kanye West and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's timeless love story. With the recent tragic death of Swedish DJ Avicii, perhaps you'd like to see an episode about his life and death too?

Kesha, Meghan Markle and mother-daughter duo Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher have all also had fascinating stories. Then there's the true stories behind the world's most popular boy bands and girl groups (we see you One Direction, Fifth Harmony and BTS).  

To get you in the mood, E! team up with Popsugar for their fun house collaboration.

In partnership with POPSUGAR, E! is treating True Hollywood Storyenthusiasts past and present to an immersive, exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the show's upcoming episode lineup with a pop-up exhibit aptly titled, "E! True House of Hollywood." The event is set to take place Saturday, Oct. 5, and will run from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., so attendees can make the most of its three-dimensional treasures.

Celebrating the new THS season as well as the real-life stories that inspired it, "E! True House of Hollywood" will saturate its guests with pop cultural content from all sides. And courtesy of its spacious locale—the exhibition will set up shop inside The House on Sunset, one of West Hollywood's iconic art and event venues—it promises to do so with authenticity, flair and impressive detail.

Following a mock "red carpet" portion to launch visitors into the wild world of celebrity upon first entrance, the installation will lead patrons through a series of rooms, each of which bears its own individual theme. Appropriately (and following a sort of haunted mansion format, but without haunts for the most part), each respective theme corresponds to one discussed, explored or otherwise featured in THS' jam-packed forthcoming season.

The installation highlights three specific THS episodes airing this fall—"Does Hip Hop Reject Women?," "Horror Movies: Cursed or Coincidence?" and "Is Fame an Addiction?"—and aims to bring them to life with decor and ambiance plucked straight from the series itself.

Step into a neon-lit recording studio and snap a picture behind the turntables. Venture into a wallpapered living room setup complete with fuzzy TV screens and a whispering doll collection sure to give you the chills. Finally, watch the "rumor mill" take physical form in a room touting floor-to-ceiling tabloid headlines.

So, what're you waiting for? Reserve your spot now via the "E! True House of Hollywood" General Admissions page. All it takes is an RSVP!

E! True Hollywood Story returns Sunday, Oct. 6 at 10 p.m.!

By Laura Medina

Mike Brunson, Founder & CEO of Caviar Gold, a multi-state cannabis distribution empire, has recently created 3 new strains for the new film, “Jay and Silent Bob”, which was written and directed by Kevin Smith.  The 3 new strains are indica, sativa, and hybrid. Recently, Mike Brunson provided a product donation for the upcoming Comedy at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego to help promote the film, which will be release on October 15, 2019. The film has Jay and Silent Bob return to Hollywood to stop a reboot of ‘Bluntman and Chronic’ movie from getting made.

This past Friday, September 27th, Caviar Gold had a successful reveal of the 3 new strains for the upcoming “Jay and Silent Bob” film at the Herbarium Recreation Dispensary in West Hollywood. The event was attended by stars of the film, Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, who took pictures, signed autographs, and even sold some of their new strains to a handful of lucky customers. The strains are named after lingo used in the iconic film series. Snoogans is the indica, Berserker is the hybrid, and Snoochie Boochies is the sativa. Each of the prerolls sold contain a comic from film, and as an added bonus, a chance for 2 customers to find a golden ticket inside. The Golden tickets are vouchers for $1000 cash, that is part of Caviar Gold’s initiative to give back to the community.  

In order to improve the potency of his latest cannabis shipment, Brunson began experimenting with extraction and infusion process, eventually creating the concept for his flagship product. His original Caviar Gold oil-and-kief-infused cannabis nugs quickly became known as the world’s most potent cannabis products, leading to later development of the iconic Cavi Cone pre-rolled joints and now, edibles and concentrates as well. Each branded division of Caviar Gold now runs independently under Brunson’s guidance, with an ambitious plan to place products in all 30 legal cannabis markets. ‘King Cavi Mike’ is now distributing Caviar Gold products to over 100 dispensaries in California. Since the passing of Proposition 64, Brunson has created new patent pending products, including Caviar Gold Botanical. Caviar Gold is 40% stronger than any other cannabis products.  Considered to be the best cannabis processors in the country, Caviar Gold utilizes a proprietary extraction method. The unique finishing process sets Caviar Gold apart from all other infused flower brands. “I believe in paying it forward and helping people”, Brunson said. Caviar Gold truly strives to provide patients with serious pain relief, even donating directly to those in need. C-Gold Cavi Caps Hemp Oil SoftGels, C-Gold Cavi Hemp Oil Tincture, C-Gold Cavi Cream Hemp Oil Lotion is available on Amazon for purchase. Caviar Gold has patents pending on botanical cannabis products. Due to their heavy community involvement and various projects, Caviar Gold is more than a brand – they’re a lifestyle.
