From HX Magazine:
We’ve mentioned the return of Hot Mess a few times recently, but have somehow continued to neglect that GaySocialites.com’s Charles Winters’ Second Sweet 16 celebration will coincide with the party’s comeback. As previously reported, the occasion also marks the birth of DJ jRoc… so don’t be a bitch and forget to say “Happy Birthday”! For more details on the party, take your cute butt over to GaySocialites.com.
Don't forget to come early for all-you-can drink from 6-8pm. If you mention my birthday at the door, you'll get a free gift from Andrew Christian!
Tonight, the "Real World" is back on television; and if you're like me - you're lovin' the Brooklyn cast!
This weekend, one of the new "Real World" stars will be better at Sugarland’s Frisky Friday in Brooklyn. Here's your chance to meet J.D. Ordonez in person!
Sugarland's poster boy Ernie Cote says he plans to get J.D. Ordonez dancing on the bar for a little go-go'n, but he assures us he'll at least be the "shot boy." If you haven't watched an episode this season, J.D. is the gay guy who is a dolphin trainer. Yum, yum. He also claims to have previously date CNN's Anderson Cooper.
Frisky Friday at Sugarland will also DJ Aaron Elvis will provide the beats with performances by Basic Black & Violet Temper.
Sugarland is located at 221 N 9th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
BREAKING NEWS
There's some gay drama unfolding in New York's gay nightlife scene as promoter Chris Ryan announces that his Sugar party at Vlada has ended. Don't worry, when one door closes, another opens.
Chris tells GaySocialites.com exclusively that he and Vito Fun have a new party launching on Wednesday, February 4th at the Ritz.
"We're doing a throwback to the 80's/ 90's with a retro-electric mix," Chris said. He also says he and Vito have some unique attractions planned like "bringing in arcade machines, fooze ball," etc.
There's no cover, and there will be weekly drink specials including $4 Sex on the Beach and vodka cranberries.

That's the letter that 11 bars and one gay-run newspaper got in Seattle on Tuesday.
Local Seattle police say they are cooperating with the FBI in their investigation.
The Stranger newspaper also received a letter, addressed to the attention of "Obituaries," saying the paper should "be prepared to announce the deaths of approximately 55 individuals all of whom were patrons of the following establishments on a Saturday in January."
The editorial director at the Stranger has written it off saying they get threats all the time.
As the letter says, the attacks could take place any Saturday this month.
SEEN
On Saturday Night, I stopped by HK Lounge in New York City and here's who was "seen":
Host Jason Preston, Scott Nevins and our own Charles Winters were all there. Noticeably absent: promoter Jasen Kaplan.
Everyone's favorite publicity whore, Jason Preston, sent me a nice little e-mail to inform me that while some other parties are taking the night off - his "Heaven in Hell" party is still going hot and heaven.
With a previous guestlist like Nick Adams, Tyson Beckford and Lance Bass and hosts like Jasen Kaplan, Peppermint, Logan Hardcore and Preston - you're guaranteed to have a blast! The hottest gay guys in Manhattan flock to this weekly party at HK Lounge.
HK Lounge is located at 39th and 9th in New York City. For more information: www.hkhellskitchen.com.
Just when they get something good going, it comes to a screeching halt.
Mark Nelson's Facebook message says it all...
Sixty-one people were killed in a nightclub fire on New Year's day in Bangkok. More than 200 others were injured.
At least 35 foreigners who were injured, including citizens of Australia, Belgium, Britain, France, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the United States, according to officials and reporters.
Authorities say that victims died from burns, smoke inhalation and injuries substained during a stampede.
Eye witness say the blaze was caused when the countdown fireworks ignited the second floor ceiling, which was covered with soundproofing material.
Our coverage continues after the break.
"Everybody was pushing against each other trying to get out to the front door as quickly as possible. I saw people, particularly young girls, being pushed away and crushed underneath as others were stomping on them trying to get out," said Sompong Tritaweelap, who lives in an apartment behind the nightclub.
A full accounting was not expected for about a week since nearly 30 of the corpses were charred beyond recognition.
